HEAT OF EARTH IS SLEW

United 8tate? Geologist' Indicates New
Method by Which to Locate
Potential Fuel.
Washington -|- Nfw oil fields and
other valuable mineral deposits in regions
where the telltale rock structures
bow lie burled far below the surface,
and random drilling is Impracticable

cost by means of measurements of the
heat In deep wells] W. T. Thorn, Jr.,
geologist In charge! of the division of
fuels of the United States geological
survey, suggested here.
Series of temperature measurements
taken at different depths In wells of
the Salt Creek dome In Wyoming, he
said, show that theme Is a direct relation
between these temperatures and
the shape of the folds In the rocks
associated with oil deposits.
The sharpest rise In temperature
has been found near the crest of the
dome and proportionately less sharp
Increases at varlhos points on Its
flanks. Similar temperature differences
have also been found in artesian
rWells In eastern North and South
Dakota.
These relationships suggest, Mr.
Thorn said, that tpey may be used to
locate concealed jupnrta ana ounea
hills such as control oil production In
south central Oklahoma and California.
A single well showing an abnormally
sharp rise n a series of measurements
at different depths would Indicate
the eklstejnce of an uplift in
nearby rock strata.
Two wails would give a possible
clew as to their islatlve position on
the uplift, and three wells would give
a suggestive guide as to the general
direction In wMefi the creet of the concealed
uplift would lie.
Not only would this. In many places,
reduce the amount of exploratory drilling
required to discover oil and gas
pools associated with aoch features
but small holes for temperature measurement
could ba pat down tha necessary
thousand or mora feet, with a
diamond drill at a much lower coat
than for ordinary oil-wall drilling.
Suggests Systematic study.
Moreover, systematic (taffy of existing
holee and artesian wells may lead
to the discovery of oil in regions not
now serioualy considered, and yield
enough evidence to Justify wildcat testing
of the oil possibilities of deeply
covered rocks In the great plains
states. t i
This method would serve as an effecarmnlAment
to Other methods DOW
being used, Mr. Thorn stated, and
would in no sense supplant them. Mr.
Thorn's theory is that the rook strata
were first folded up; then. In the
course of geological time, the top of
the fold was cut off by weathering, exposing
the deep-lying and hotter
rocks at the crest of the ridge or
dome.

The reference to the minerals In ,

that Job was a great mineralogist
There Is really something plausible
in this thought. Of course Job could
have known nothing of the present
theory of geology, namely, that the
1 earth was built up by one layer pll^ig
upon another layer. But his familiarity
with minerals and metals and Ma
reference to wheat crops and his belief
that there was heat underneath the
earth's crust, fit In so well with what
we know today that It must be admitted
Job at the eery least, was a clearthinking

At ?<r.tnt and Modern
Systems of Currency
In the early days <>f our civilization,
when a man's docks and herds Were7"
his only possessions,) they also constituted
his money, and when ijietal
coins were first introduced many had
cattle stamped on flpetn.
The Latin for cattjle is "pecus." and
It is not a, far stretch from this to our
word "pecuniary," which is usual! ? associated
i$th money:
Again, the word "'cattle" is de lved
jfrom "capital," the origin of which is
the Latin word "caput," meaning a
head, and from the very earliest times
beasts have bhen spoken of as 80 thuch
per head. *'
It is curious, too, how agriculture
has indirectly affected our system of
currehey. When man found it eisier
to dig with a bronze or iron spade
than with wood. It; was not lonj hefore
iron and bronze coins came into
use. Later, when gold and silver were
discovered, they were quickly ad( pted
for currency.
The word "salary" comes h-om
"saline." When the Romans dominated
Britain they took possession of
a great1 many of the salt mines, hecause
salt was then a valuable commodity;
In addition, workmen Ip the
salt mines wett frequently paid with
salt, and It was not long beforP this
form of remuneration became known
as salary.

v DUputo Ovor Atolla
Tha scientific controversy regarding
the origin of atoll* la an old and
famous one, and la not yet fully settled.
Darwin held that the rings of
coral, which sometimes rise from
depths far below the limit at which
reef-building polyps can are, are ui?
result of the gradual wearing away or
subsidence of a central land mass, accompanied
by the equally slow growth
of the girdling reef. According to this
law, each atoll Is in effect the barrier
reef of an Island which has vanished,
or of a safe marine mound which
approaches the surfhce of the sea.
More crudely stated. ti>e atoll Is the
,crown of a slnlclna vol -.ma. Sir John
Murray, the botanist Cluppg and Pref.
'Alexander Agassis ennbated this
theory and showed that reefs exist in
parts of the Paclfle wherq there is
no evidence of subsidence, but where,
on the contrary, there has been ap

pCC S OAS" DOES WORK OF
STEAM IN TEXAS Oil FIELDS
i
Harnessed Under 300 Pounds Pressure
It Provides Power to Operate
Machinery.
Snyder. Texas.?A vast reservoir of
"cold." non-inflammable gas has been
discovered In the oil fields of this see
tion/ and is being use<l to operate machinery
and pumps.
The gas is said to insure the most
economical operation In the history of
oil production. Small wells, which otherwise
would require more oil for their
boilers than they could produce are
now operating at a profit. *
For a time the gas mystified oil men
and chemists, but It finally has been
analyzed as an air containing about 93
per cent nitrogen.
One of the strange sights here is to
| see boilers producing pressure without
Are. The gas Is run into the boilers
! and in two minutes a pressure of 125
pounds is attained, ^rom the boiler
the "air" is carried under pressure
through the usual steam lines to
pumps and machinery.
The air has been used to drill three

Additional producers have all struck
this gas In 'sufficient quantities to
finish ihelr wells.
Men in the field use the air for anything
steam would accomplish. All
they need to do Is to turn the air Into
the boiler, which merely acts as a
reservoir to (equalize pressure. It also
Is .used to Inflate automobile tires and
for refrigeration. v
Watermelons, milk, water, or anything
the men wish to cool Is placed
under the exhaust of an engine,
which Is covered with ice instead of
being hot with steam. A watermelon
left under the exhaust for two hours
will freeze solid.
The air itself Is not actually cold,
but the release of pressure produces
the effect of cold, similar to the process
of manufacturing ice with ammonia
under pressure.
The gas makes between three and
five million cubic feet a day from the
first well, with a rock pressure of more
than 300 pounds.
