TIRE COST CAN II KEPT DOWN Much Depends on Handling Rubber, According to Those Who Know The tiro problem in recognised to be one of the most important with which the motorist must contend. Notwith- standing the manufacture of motor elioos has reached a stage of satlHfac- t...n wlileH leaves little room for im- provement; thy greater weight of the machines and their increased power make the difficulty more im- 1'irtant than ever. The average motorist of today does not consider a tour over rocky and rough roads particularly hazardous. Me throws his machine without fear through a country which' has been considered impassable oven to horse and wagon, yet he expects the same amount of service from tires that ho J would receive did he conllnc his driv- ing to city boulevards. The modern tire is a marvel of workmanship. It is constructed to withstand almost any amount of serv- ice. but no commodity is made that can endure abuse. Neglect of a few essential details will shorten the life of any tire ,and extreme caution is necessary in observance of the little rul«.s which prevent the shoes disin- tegrating tr a comparatively . short space of time. Oil for Motor, Not Tires. The motorist understands that he may sustain the lii'o of the motor and other parts of the machine which re- ciuire lubrication by liberal applica- tion of oils, but the tire is =o con- structed that nothing in this nature will prevent wear. Quite the con- trary. Application of lubricants to the surface of tires has a disintegrat- ing effect ou the rubber. Oil, grease, gasoline, or any of the other hydro- carbons is as bound to destroy a tire if applied to it as a egt with a knife. The effect is not immediate, of course, but it is just Inevitable. Immediate result's will not follow. No effect will be noticed if the tires are wiped clean at'ter they have been placed in contact with the lubricant. To allow a tire to remain standing in a pool of oil or on a greasy floor is courting trouble, the *i, same as a sharp piece of glass invites a puncture. In these days, when oil and kindred materials are u'sed to surface roads, It is especially ncccssary to watch the tires.. After a long tour over oiled roads it is to bo assumed that the tires will be damaged. They will be unless immediate and proper measures of prevention are taken. The tires should be wijied clean at the close of the day's run. If the oil is allowed to remain on the treads ultimate and hastened destruction is inevitable. Beware of High Speed. At high speed the wheels of a motor car slip on the surface of the road to a degree scarcely reckoned with by the average driver. Friction of the most violent kind results—burning, wear- ing, destructive friction. At a speed of thirty miles an hour this slipping is slight but constant. When a mile a minute speed is attained the fric- tion is increased out of all proportion to the increase in speed. At this speed it is estimated a thirty-six indh wheel will slip about six complete revolu- tions during each mile (or minute) traveled. This will amount to a total slipping of 3,600 feet every hour that a mile a minute speed is maintained. Therefore it will be readily realized what a tremendous amount of wear is imposed on a tire when fast driv- ing is indulged in. When the greatest nmount of slipping takes place it is hardly probable that the tires are bearing the full weight of the car, as i 1 is the continual bouncing at high .speeds which causes the wheels to turn more rapidly than the road under them, but the wear on the tires is tremendous. The best evidence of this kind of friction is seen at the aver- age road race, when tires are chang- ed frequently in a run of 100 miles. Why Speed is Injurious. A pneumatic tire is nothing more than a collapsible air bag. The car literally rides on air. It is the com- Possibility of the air which provides the cushion effect when the wheels strike an obstruction or inequality In the surface of the road. The tire Is depressed at the point of contact with tit.; obstruction, and the area of a cross section of this portion is there- fore reduced. This naturally com- presses the air in the tire, and the "soft" will make riding comfortable shock, instead of being concentrated In the point of contact, is distributed throughout the entire interior- of the confining space. The compressed air stores the energy imparted to It and produces the resiliency for which the pneumatic tire is famous. if the air in the tire is already com- pressed before the shock is received •he additional compression or absorp- tion of the shock will not be so mark- TAKES BIG PART IN THREATENED STRIKE * - > < / , S W. s.

Boston." ed as if the tire were not pumped so hard." On the other hand, a tire containing only a small amount of air Pressure will be exceedingly suscepti- ble to depression of its tread when an obstacle is encountered, and the rub- ber at the. point of contact may be liattened almost to the rim. Thus a hard tire is enabled to encounter a great many abrupt inequalities In the road, but will not absorb slight shocks and jars, while a soft tiro is sensitive to even the slightest obstacle in the road, but will be overtaxed at the first suggestion of "rough going." , It is evident that , a tire containing too much air will make the roads seem rough while one that l s too on good roads but distressing on rough surfaces where the cushioning is ln- But it is a strange paradox I that a "hard" tire will last longer 11 tire. In the latter case the casing and tread are depressed at the slightest obstruction. A gradual .weakening of the tissue results. A tire containing the full amount of air pressure on the other hand is not as integrating wear and tear from 'spreading is not so violent. The aver- susceptible to the bumps and the dis- age pressure favored by tire manu- facturers Is about twenty pounds per square inch for each inch of diameter of cross section of tire. For example a four-inch tire should be pumped to an approximate pressure of eighty pounds to the square inch, while one an inch larger should carry 100 pounds of pressure. It is a simple matter to test the tire pressure by the use of one of the many pressure gauges now on the market. If such a gauge is not car- .j it should be, ap« proximate pressure jn tho cars may be gauged by the contour of the tires as they carry the car at its weight fully loaded. As soon as the tire is pumped to the limit where the weight of the ear does not change the perfectly round appearance of the outside cir- cumference or as soon as the tire does not flatten at the point of contact to the road or floor it is properly filled. If the side walls bulge at the point of contact, however, more air should be pumped into the tire. Manufacturer \ot to Blame. Tircs^havo been credited with going to pieees mysteriously and the inno- cent manufacturer has been criticized because of a bad fabric. One of the so-called mysterious causes of decay is the improper alignment of wheels, which causes uneven wear on tile shoes. This evil may not be apparent at casual observation, but in many cases it exists unbeknown to the driver or tire dealer. Both may be up in the air over a simple fault. This may be detected by the application of a long rule to the tops and bottoms of the front and rear wheels. If the two wheels of a pair do not revolve in planes parallel to each other in a hori- zontal position they are out of line and the tread of the tire will tear as well as rub over the even surface in much the same manner as if the wheel were pulled slightly sideways at cverv revo. iiitlon. Tho measurements should be taken at points exactly opposite on a C n * an< * the rear of the wheel hubs. If tho distance between the two wheels is less at the rear than it is forward of the hub it is evident that the axles or spindles are so bent that the wheels do not revolve in par- allel planes and the car should be tak- en to tho repair shop immediately. Cure of Tire in Winter. The care of a tire in winter is a dif- ferent, although as important a propo- sition. The car should be Jacked up to relieve the wheels of the weight. The tires should be inflated to suffici- ent extent to preserve their natural shape. They should be wrapped, if per to keep out the moisture. Damp- ness causes deterioration and should perfectly dry, in burlap or brown pa- be evaded whenever possible. "VOTES FOR WOJIENV Trenton, N.

DISTRIBUTOR OF U6MIE COAL THROUGH WESTERN NORTH DMA US DEPICTfD H GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Dr. A. G. Leonard Says that Mines must Have been Burn- ing Many Thousands Years—Vast Extent of Depos- its Shown—Curious Results From the Fires. 1 v. 'f , PAGE SbV&N. N.- .. •>-. i.r-. Dr. A. O. Leonard of this city, head of tho North Dakota geological sur- vey, in an uddrcss before the. North Dukotu Society of ISnglneets gavo many interesting facts concerning North Dakota's lignite coal supply. The lignite coal fields of North Da- kota cover uu area of approximately 32,000 i -<iuarc miles In tho western part of the state and the total tonnage of workable coul has been estimated at 500,000,000,000. No other atatg in the union has so much coal >as has North Dakota, and few realise the vastness of our resources in this valu- able mineral. Tho coal beds are confined to two formations, namely, the Tort Union and I*ance. The Fort Union is one of the most important and best known formations of the northwest. It cov- ers a vast area east of the llocky Mountains, stretching from Wyoming to the Arctic ocean in the valley of the Mackenzie river, Including several Ca- nadian provinces,- much of North Da- kota, eastern- Montana, southwestern South Dakota and eastern Wyoming.. The Two Formations. The Fort Union is a fresh water for- mation, the beds having been' depos- ited in a large lake or lakes, and is composed of clay shales, alternating with sandstones, and containing many beds of lignite. It is remarkably uni- form in color, composition and - ap- pearance throughout, the region.' The prevailing color is either a light ash grey or yellow, but in places the'beds are almost white. The Fort Uhlon formation everywhere contains num- erous beds of lignite coal. The Lance formation has a wide dis- tribution in North Dakota and east- ern Montana, as well as in parts of South Dakota and Wyoming. The largest area in North Dakota is in the south-central part of the state. A smaller area is found in tho south- western corner of the state. In Mor- ton county this formation is found to consist of three members; an upper sandstone about 100 feet thick, a mid- dle member composed, of dark shales with a few sandstone layers and hav- ing a thickness of 200 to 350 feet, and a lower division made up of shales and sandstones in alternating layers. This latter member has a thickness of 350 feet or over, and the maximum thickness of the entire Lance forma- tion Is not far from 700 feet in this region. In southern Billings county, partic- ularly in the vicinity of Yule, and at several points in Morton county, workable beds of lignite are found in the Lance formation, but throughout most of its area the latter is barren ot coal with the exception of thin seams only a few inches thick. In the Fort Union formation, on the oth- er hand, one rarely finds an outcrop where several hundred feet of strata are exposed that does not contain at least one or more coal beds. These range from top to bottom of the for- mation, and do not appear to be con- fined to anyy particular horizon or horizons. Late Investigations Show Magnitude. It was formerly supposed tnat the lignite bods were not of great extent and covered but comparatively small areas, one seam thinning out and be- ing replaced by others at a different horizon. But the detailed work of tho past few years has shown that some of the Individual coal beds cov- er large areas. One. with a thickness varying from 5 to 16 feet, ha a known extent of twenty miles in one direc- tion and twenty-five in another, with an area of at least 500 square miles, and probably much greater. Another bed of coal was traced 36 miles north and south and 24 miles cast and west and while its known area as 'shown from outcrops is nearly 900 square miles, it undoubtedly has an extent of 1,000 to 1,500 square miles. This coalbed, which has a thickness rang- ing from 9 to 15 feet and over, has been largely burned out or removed by erosion, but still underlies a num- ber of townships. The lignite coal beds of the state vary in thickness from less than an inch to 35 feet, a bed of the latter thickness occurring on Sand creek, in southern Billings county. Several beds 20 feet thick arc known, and seams 6, S and 10 feet thick arc com- mon. the past six or eight years the. North Dakota Geological Survey, much of the time in co-operation with the United States Geological Survev, has -studied in more or less detail the coal fields of Billings, Morton and McKenzic counties and has gathered much valuable information regarding them. In Morton county, with the ex- ception of a 5-foot coal bed in the Lance formation, the lignite scams are in the lower 400 to 500 feet of the I'ort Union. In the northern part of the county there are «t least six coal beds, namely, two at Sims, two at iSew Salem, three about GJen Ullln, but two of them probably the same as those nt New Salem, and at least one In the violnify of Hebron. The lig- nite seam now Vieinsr mined at Sims is the lowest of the pis coal Iteds. and the one near Hebron is the highest. Billings llus 21 Mine6. ihe number of workable coal beds In Billings county is known to be at least 21, not. all of them being present at any one point, but tsome occurring in one locality ana somo in another. V}*y f r< ': distributed through from 1,000 to l,o00 feet of strata and range trom 4 to 35 feet in thickness. Tho aggregate thickness of the coal in these 21 beds in 157 feet. In McKenzic county there are at least 8 coal beds, ranging in thickness trom 3 1-2 to 12 teet and several of them covering many townships. They are distributed through a thickness of 700 feet of strata, or from the level of the Little Missouri river to the tops of tho high buttes. Some of the tipper ones have burned out extensively or have been eroded over large areas. Show Wood Grulu. The coal of North Dakota is most- ly a brown lignite with a decidedly woody structure, exhibiting clearly the grain of the wood and having the toughness of that material. It breaks or splits readily along the grain but Is broken with difficulty in any other di- rection. Portions of flattened trunks or branches are often found in the beds, bearing a close resemblance to the original wood except for tho brown color. The same bed is fre- quently more woody in some portions than others, being made up of alter- nating layers of tough brown lignite and black, lustrous, brittle material. On exposure to the air the lignite loses part of Its moisture, which is frequent- ly us high ns 35 or 40 per cent, begins to crack, and finally breaks up Into small pieces. Many of the coal beds have burned out over large areas and there are few whltih have wholly escaped burn- ing. Some were doubtless set on Hre by man; others may have caught from prairie tir.»s, but It seems probable thflt spontaneous combustion has been the chief cause. Bum for TlMucMidn of Yearn, This burning of the coal bed* has V doubtless been going on for many thoutmnds of years, ever since the erosion of the overlying strata brought theni near tho surface or exposed them In the bluffs and buttcs. Once started the fire slowly smolders and Works Its way back further and fur- ther from the outcrop, the overlying clays settling down as the coal is con- sumed and tho cracks thus opened ad- mitting fresh supplies of air. Thus a coal bed which is not too fur below the surface may continu- to burn for a long period, and instances are known where beds have been on tiro for ut least 20 years, it seems im- probable that tho coal can burn very far back from the outcrop when cov- ered by any considerable thickness of rock, for after It hats l>een coiisum* ed the overlying clays vouhl settle down and occupy its place, thus shut- ting off the air and smothering the Are.; It seems likely, therefore, that those beds of lignite which have burn- ed out many squar* miles must have been near the surface, as we find them today, when they being consum- cdi Has Changed Overlying Clays. The heat produced by the burning coal has changed tho overlying clays and sandstones, and either burned t-beni to a red or pink clinker, or en- tirely. fused them into slag-like mass- es. These clinker beds in places have a thickness of 40 or 50 feet and are a conspicuous feature in some parts of western North Dakota. . „? hd coal production of the state for 1912, according to Mr. Atkinson, the state mine Inspector, was 545,000 tons, or 14 per cent more than was pro- duced in 1911, and a greater amount than has been mined in any one year during the history of the state. Over three-fourths of the above output came from Burleigh, Ward and Stark counties. STEIN FINISHES TAL-E 'Fire Bug" Tells How lie Contracted With Insurance Man for Blase. New York, Feb. 20.—Isidore Stein, a Sing Sing pcjsoH.- convict, concluded, today his testimony that at the bid- ding of Robert J. Rubin, a Broadway flre Insurance adjuster, on trial in. su- preme court on a charge of arson, he applied the torch to buildings in the ordinary run of his operations for the so-oalled "arson trust." Elizabeth Parkin, Rubin's stenogra- pher, testified that her employer and Stein, known as "Izzy the Painter," often were in eohfeVenc? behind lock- ed doors in the adjuster's office. The defense called only three wit- nesses, Rubin and his wife and daugh- ter. Rubin fJenied he employed Stein to pet tires, or that he . engaged In scheming to defraud insurance com- panies.

OVERHEATING OF MOTORS THE MOTORIST SOME AIDS TO IN AVOIDING THE CONDITION "Overheatingr of motors can bo di- vided into two classes—chronic antl iicuto," says an engineering export. "Chronic overheating owing to inade- quate cooling surface and poor design is seldom found on cars of modern vintage, bceattsc all engineers now provide ample cooling surface for their ears. When this chronic condi- tion is found it cannot be combated except by fitting a larger radiator or pump; ... "However, motorists term carbon- ized cylinder or over rich mixture as chronic conditions and conditions that ultimately cause damage to the motor. There is no sure road to ascertaining these conditions cxccpt by knowing the running temperatures of the 'other fellow" who has tho ?amc model as you have. Kide with him and lind out how his car acts under similar road conditions. Feel the radiator as oftoii as possible, or. preferably, take the temperature of his circulating water. How to Rdncdy Faults. "If his car runs cooler and is snap- pier investigate your own mixture. Cut down tile gasoline all it will stand without popping back in tho carbure- tor. A difference in efficiency may be apparent at once. If your car still runs hot clean out the carbon on the •ylinders and piston heads, also valve ports, for carbon frequently causes high cylinder temperature and every jmile you go in an overheated condi- | tion is wearing out your engine. While i it may not cause any great degree of 'annoyance for a time, damage is nev- ; criiieless being done, and a few weeks i . of this abuse may ruin the motor. "Acute overheating is trouble that i : develops suddenly on the road and is : j even worse than chronic, for it means i immediate and costly repairs. Even ! i the most expert drivers cannot tell I when their radiators may spring a | i leak and lose all the water—a pet cock ; may j;ir open or the water pump! break. At such times cars which un- , dor ordinary conditions show no sign ! of overheating will heat up and crack ' . their cylinders before tho driver is aware of the existing condition. Driv- ; ers should take every precaution to j prevent the occurrence ot these trou- j bles because acute overheating means j .such heavy repairs as replacing I . cylinders and pistons, which will run : into hundreds of dollars. i I : j To Guard Against Overheating. | "About the only way to guard ,against acute overheating is to tape ! i up water drains and watch the concli- I tion of the clips on the hose connec- tions. liven then the possibility of a I sudden radiator leak cannot be guard- led against nor the breakage of the wa- i tor pumps or connections. "On long reliability runs it is cus- tomary for the passenger to watch at the side of the radiator for steam to come from the overflow pipe, this be- ing a possible way of determining a deranged cooling system. "Unfortunately it is not possible to drive with one's hand on the radiator, for means of radiator temperature it is not only possible to tell water loss but also overheating due to stoppage ot' oil, as it is a well known fact that the failure of the oiling system pro- duces quick acute overheating with most disastrous results."

TIRE COST CAN II KEPT DOWN

Much Depends on Handling Rubber, According to

Those Who Know

The tiro problem in recognised to be one of the most important with which the motorist must contend. Notwith­standing the manufacture of motor elioos has reached a stage of satlHfac-t...n wlileH leaves little room for im­provement; thy greater weight of the

machines and their increased power make the difficulty more im-1'irtant than ever.

The average motorist of today does not consider a tour over rocky and rough roads particularly hazardous. Me throws his machine without fear through a country which' has been considered impassable oven to horse and wagon, yet he expects the same amount of service from tires that ho

J would receive did he conllnc his driv­ing to city boulevards.

The modern tire is a marvel of workmanship. It is constructed to withstand almost any amount of serv­ice. but no commodity is made that can endure abuse. Neglect of a few essential details will shorten the life of any tire ,and extreme caution is necessary in observance of the little rul«.s which prevent the shoes disin­tegrating tr a comparatively . short space of time.

Oil for Motor, Not Tires. The motorist understands that he

may sustain the lii'o of the motor and other parts of the machine which re-ciuire lubrication by liberal applica­tion of oils, but the tire is =o con­structed that nothing in this nature will prevent wear. Quite the con­trary. Application of lubricants to the surface of tires has a disintegrat­ing effect ou the rubber. Oil, grease, gasoline, or any of the other hydro­carbons is as bound to destroy a tire if applied to it as a egt with a knife. The effect is not immediate, of course, but it is just a» Inevitable. Immediate result's will not follow. No effect will be noticed if the tires are wiped clean at'ter they have been placed in contact with the lubricant. To allow a tire to remain standing in a pool of oil or on a greasy floor is courting trouble, the

*i, same as a sharp piece of glass invites a puncture.

In these days, when oil and kindred materials are u'sed to surface roads, It is especially ncccssary to watch the tires.. After a long tour over oiled roads it is to bo assumed that the tires will be damaged. They will be unless immediate and proper measures of prevention are taken. The tires should be wijied clean at the close of the day's run. If the oil is allowed to remain on the treads ultimate and hastened destruction is inevitable.

Beware of High Speed. At high speed the wheels of a motor

car slip on the surface of the road to a degree scarcely reckoned with by the average driver. Friction of the most violent kind results—burning, wear­ing, destructive friction. At a speed of thirty miles an hour this slipping is slight but constant. When a mile a minute speed is attained the fric­tion is increased out of all proportion to the increase in speed. At this speed it is estimated a thirty-six indh wheel will slip about six complete revolu­tions during each mile (or minute) traveled. This will amount to a total slipping of 3,600 feet every hour that a mile a minute speed is maintained. Therefore it will be readily realized what a tremendous amount of wear is imposed on a tire when fast driv­ing is indulged in. When the greatest nmount of slipping takes place it is hardly probable that the tires are bearing the full weight of the car, as i1

is the continual bouncing at high .speeds which causes the wheels to turn more rapidly than the road under them, but the wear on the tires is tremendous. The best evidence of this kind of friction is seen at the aver­age road race, when tires are chang­ed frequently in a run of 100 miles.

Why Speed is Injurious. A pneumatic tire is nothing more

than a collapsible air bag. The car literally rides on air. It is the com-Possibility of the air which provides the cushion effect when the wheels strike an obstruction or inequality In the surface of the road. The tire Is depressed at the point of contact with tit.; obstruction, and the area of a cross section of this portion is there­fore reduced. This naturally com­presses the air in the tire, and the "soft" will make riding comfortable shock, instead of being concentrated In the point of contact, is distributed throughout the entire interior- of the confining space. The compressed air stores the energy imparted to It and produces the resiliency for which the pneumatic tire is famous.

if the air in the tire is already com­pressed before the shock is received •he additional compression or absorp­tion of the shock will not be so mark-

ed as if the tire were not pumped so hard." On the other hand, a tire

containing only a small amount of air Pressure will be exceedingly suscepti­ble to depression of its tread when an obstacle is encountered, and the rub­ber at the. point of contact may be liattened almost to the rim. Thus a hard tire is enabled to encounter a great many abrupt inequalities In the road, but will not absorb slight shocks and jars, while a soft tiro is sensitive to even the slightest obstacle in the road, but will be overtaxed at the first suggestion of "rough going."

, It is evident that , a tire containing too much air will make the roads seem rough while one that ls too on good roads but distressing on rough surfaces where the cushioning is ln-

• But it is a strange paradox I that a "hard" tire will last longer • 11 tire. In the latter case • the casing and tread are depressed at the slightest obstruction. A gradual

.weakening of the tissue results. A tire containing the full amount of air pressure on the other hand is not as integrating wear and tear from 'spreading is not so violent. The aver-susceptible to the bumps and the dis-age pressure favored by tire manu­facturers Is about twenty pounds per square inch for each inch of diameter of cross section of tire. For example a four-inch tire should be pumped to an approximate pressure of eighty pounds to the square inch, while one an inch larger should carry 100 pounds of pressure.

It is a simple matter to test the tire pressure by the use of one of the many pressure gauges now on the market. If such a gauge is not car-

.j it should be, ap« proximate pressure jn tho cars may be gauged by the contour of the tires as they carry the car at its weight fully loaded. As soon as the tire is pumped to the limit where the weight of the ear does not change the perfectly round appearance of the outside cir­cumference or as soon as the tire does not flatten at the point of contact to the road or floor it is properly filled. If the side walls bulge at the point of contact, however, more air should be pumped into the tire.

Manufacturer \ot to Blame. Tircs^havo been credited with going

to pieees mysteriously and the inno­cent manufacturer has been criticized because of a bad fabric. One of the so-called mysterious causes of decay is the improper alignment of wheels, which causes uneven wear on tile shoes. This evil may not be apparent at casual observation, but in many cases it exists unbeknown to the driver or tire dealer. Both may be up in the air over a simple fault. This may be detected by the application of a long rule to the tops and bottoms of the front and rear wheels. If the two wheels of a pair do not revolve in planes parallel to each other in a hori­zontal position they are out of line and the tread of the tire will tear as well as rub over the even surface in much the same manner as if the wheel were pulled slightly sideways at cverv revo. iiitlon. Tho measurements should be taken at points exactly opposite on

aC .°n* an<* the rear of the wheel hubs. If tho distance between the two wheels is less at the rear than it is forward of the hub it is evident that the axles or spindles are so bent that the wheels do not revolve in par­allel planes and the car should be tak­en to tho repair shop immediately.

Cure of Tire in Winter. The care of a tire in winter is a dif-

ferent, although as important a propo-sition. The car should be Jacked up to relieve the wheels of the weight. The tires should be inflated to suffici­ent extent to preserve their natural shape. They should be wrapped, if per to keep out the moisture. Damp­ness causes deterioration and should perfectly dry, in burlap or brown pa-be evaded whenever possible.

DISTRIBUTOR OF U6MIE COAL THROUGH WESTERN NORTH DMA US DEPICTfD H GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

N.- .. •>-. i.r-.

Dr. A. O. Leonard of this city, head of tho North Dakota geological sur­vey, in an uddrcss before the. North Dukotu Society of ISnglneets gavo many interesting facts concerning North Dakota's lignite coal supply.

The lignite coal fields of North Da­kota cover uu area of approximately 32,000 i-<iuarc miles In tho western part of the state and the total tonnage of workable coul has been estimated at 500,000,000,000. No other atatg in the union has so much coal >as has North Dakota, and few realise the vastness of our resources in this valu­able mineral.

Tho coal beds are confined to two formations, namely, the Tort Union and I*ance. The Fort Union is one of the most important and best known formations of the northwest. It cov­ers a vast area east of the llocky Mountains, stretching from Wyoming to the Arctic ocean in the valley of the Mackenzie river, Including several Ca­nadian provinces,- much of North Da­kota, eastern- Montana, southwestern South Dakota and eastern Wyoming..

The Two Formations. The Fort Union is a fresh water for­

mation, the beds having been' depos­ited in a large lake or lakes, and is composed of clay shales, alternating with sandstones, and containing many beds of lignite. It is remarkably uni­form in color, composition and - ap­pearance throughout, the region.' The prevailing color is either a light ash grey or yellow, but in places the'beds are almost white. The Fort Uhlon formation everywhere contains num­erous beds of lignite coal.

The Lance formation has a wide dis­tribution in North Dakota and east­ern Montana, as well as in parts of South Dakota and Wyoming. The largest area in North Dakota is in the south-central part of the state. A smaller area is found in tho south­western corner of the state. In Mor­ton county this formation is found to consist of three members; an upper sandstone about 100 feet thick, a mid­dle member composed, of dark shales with a few sandstone layers and hav­ing a thickness of 200 to 350 feet, and a lower division made up of shales and sandstones in alternating layers. This latter member has a thickness of 350 feet or over, and the maximum thickness of the entire Lance forma­tion Is not far from 700 feet in this region.

In southern Billings county, partic­ularly in the vicinity of Yule, and at several points in Morton county, workable beds of lignite are found in the Lance formation, but throughout most of its area the latter is barren ot coal with the exception of thin seams only a few inches thick. In the Fort Union formation, on the oth­er hand, one rarely finds an outcrop where several hundred feet of strata are exposed that does not contain at least one or more coal beds. These range from top to bottom of the for­mation, and do not appear to be con­fined to anyy particular horizon or horizons. Late Investigations Show Magnitude.

It was formerly supposed tnat the lignite bods were not of great extent and covered but comparatively small areas, one seam thinning out and be­ing replaced by others at a different horizon. But the detailed work of tho past few years has shown that some of the Individual coal beds cov­er large areas. One. with a thickness varying from 5 to 16 feet, ha a known extent of twenty miles in one direc­tion and twenty-five in another, with an area of at least 500 square miles, and probably much greater. Another bed of coal was traced 36 miles north and south and 24 miles cast and west and while its known area as 'shown from outcrops is nearly 900 square miles, it undoubtedly has an extent of 1,000 to 1,500 square miles. This coalbed, which has a thickness rang­ing from 9 to 15 feet and over, has been largely burned out or removed by erosion, but still underlies a num­ber of townships.

The lignite coal beds of the state vary in thickness from less than an inch to 35 feet, a bed of the latter thickness occurring on Sand creek, in southern Billings county. Several beds 20 feet thick arc known, and seams 6, S and 10 feet thick arc com­mon.

the past six or eight years the. North Dakota Geological Survey, much of the time in co-operation with the United States Geological Survev, has -studied in more or less detail the coal fields of Billings, Morton and McKenzic counties and has gathered much valuable information regarding them. In Morton county, with the ex­ception of a 5-foot coal bed in the Lance formation, the lignite scams are in the lower 400 to 500 feet of the I'ort Union. In the northern part of the county there are «t least six coal

beds, namely, two at Sims, two at iSew Salem, three about GJen Ullln, but two of them probably the same as those nt New Salem, and at least one In the violnify of Hebron. The lig­nite seam now Vieinsr mined at Sims is the lowest of the pis coal Iteds. and the one near Hebron is the highest.

Billings llus 21 Mine6. ihe number of workable coal beds

In Billings county is known to be at least 21, not. all of them being present at any one point, but tsome occurring in one locality ana somo in another. V}*y fr<': distributed through from 1,000 to l,o00 feet of strata and range trom 4 to 35 feet in thickness. Tho aggregate thickness of the coal in these 21 beds in 157 feet.

In McKenzic county there are at least 8 coal beds, ranging in thickness trom 3 1-2 to 12 teet and several of them covering many townships. They are distributed through a thickness of 700 feet of strata, or from the level of the Little Missouri river to the tops of tho high buttes. Some of the tipper ones have burned out extensively or have been eroded over large areas.

Show Wood Grulu. The coal of North Dakota is most­

ly a brown lignite with a decidedly woody structure, exhibiting clearly the grain of the wood and having the toughness of that material. It breaks or splits readily along the grain but Is broken with difficulty in any other di­rection. Portions of flattened trunks or branches are often found in the beds, bearing a close resemblance to the original wood except for tho brown color. The same bed is fre­quently more woody in some portions than others, being made up of alter­nating layers of tough brown lignite and black, lustrous, brittle material. On exposure to the air the lignite loses part of Its moisture, which is frequent­ly us high ns 35 or 40 per cent, begins to crack, and finally breaks up Into small pieces.

Many of the coal beds have burned out over large areas and there are few whltih have wholly escaped burn­ing. Some were doubtless set on Hre by man; others may have caught from prairie tir.»s, but It seems probable thflt spontaneous combustion has been the chief cause.

Bum for TlMucMidn of Yearn, This burning of the coal bed* has

V

doubtless been going on for many thoutmnds of years, ever since the erosion of the overlying strata brought theni near tho surface or exposed them In the bluffs and buttcs. Once started the fire slowly smolders and Works Its way back further and fur­ther from the outcrop, the overlying clays settling down as the coal is con­sumed and tho cracks thus opened ad­mitting fresh supplies of air. Thus a coal bed which is not too fur below the surface may continu- to burn for a long period, and instances are known where beds have been on tiro for ut least 20 years, it seems im­probable that tho coal can burn very far back from the outcrop when cov­ered by any considerable thickness of rock, for after It hats l>een coiisum* ed the overlying clays vouhl settle down and occupy its place, thus shut­ting off the air and smothering the Are.; It seems likely, therefore, that those beds of lignite which have burn­ed out many squar* miles must have been near the surface, as we find them today, when they being consum-cdi

Has Changed Overlying Clays. The heat produced by the burning

coal has changed tho overlying clays and sandstones, and either burned t-beni to a red or pink clinker, or en­tirely. fused them into slag-like mass­es. These clinker beds in places have a thickness of 40 or 50 feet and are a conspicuous feature in some parts of western North Dakota. . „?hd coal production of the state for 1912, according to Mr. Atkinson, the state mine Inspector, was 545,000 tons, or 14 per cent more than was pro­duced in 1911, and a greater amount than has been mined in any one year during the history of the state. Over three-fourths of the above output came from Burleigh, Ward and Stark counties.

STEIN FINISHES TAL-E 'Fire Bug" Tells How lie Contracted

With Insurance Man for Blase. New York, Feb. 20.—Isidore Stein,

a Sing Sing pcjsoH.- convict, concluded, today his testimony that at the bid­ding of Robert J. Rubin, a Broadway flre Insurance adjuster, on trial in. su­preme court on a charge of arson, he applied the torch to buildings in the ordinary run of his operations for the so-oalled "arson trust."

Elizabeth Parkin, Rubin's stenogra­pher, testified that her employer and Stein, known as "Izzy the Painter," often were in eohfeVenc? behind lock­ed doors in the adjuster's office.

The defense called only three wit­nesses, Rubin and his wife and daugh­ter. Rubin fJenied he employed Stein to pet tires, or that he . engaged In scheming to defraud insurance com­panies. The members of his family denied Stein's story that ho 61'ten call­ed at the Rubin tiomc. The case will go to the jury tomorrow.

OVERHEATING OF MOTORS THE MOTORIST

SOME AIDS TO IN AVOIDING THE CONDITION

"Overheatingr of motors can bo di­vided into two classes—chronic antl iicuto," says an engineering export. "Chronic overheating owing to inade­quate cooling surface and poor design is seldom found on cars of modern vintage, bceattsc all engineers now provide ample cooling surface for their ears. When this chronic condi­tion is found it cannot be combated except by fitting a larger radiator or p u m p ; . . .

"However, motorists term carbon­ized cylinder or over rich mixture as chronic conditions and conditions that ultimately cause damage to the motor. There is no sure road to ascertaining these conditions cxccpt by knowing the running temperatures of the 'other fellow" who has tho ?amc model as you have. Kide with him and lind out how his car acts under similar road conditions. Feel the radiator as oftoii as possible, or. preferably, take the temperature of his circulating water.

How to Rdncdy Faults. "If his car runs cooler and is snap­

pier investigate your own mixture. Cut down tile gasoline all it will stand without popping back in tho carbure­tor. A difference in efficiency may be apparent at once. If your car still runs hot clean out the carbon on the •ylinders and piston heads, also valve

ports, for carbon frequently causes high cylinder temperature and every

jmile you go in an overheated condi-| tion is wearing out your engine. While

i it may not cause any great degree of 'annoyance for a time, damage is nev-; criiieless being done, and a few weeks i . of this abuse may ruin the motor.

"Acute overheating is trouble that i : develops suddenly on the road and is : j even worse than chronic, for it means i immediate and costly repairs. Even !

i the most expert drivers cannot tell I when their radiators may spring a | i leak and lose all the water—a pet cock ; may j;ir open or the water pump! break. At such times cars which un-

, dor ordinary conditions show no sign ! of overheating will heat up and crack '

. their cylinders before tho driver is aware of the existing condition. Driv- ; ers should take every precaution to j prevent the occurrence ot these trou-

j bles because acute overheating means j .such heavy repairs as replacing I . cylinders and pistons, which will run : into hundreds of dollars. i

I : j To Guard Against Overheating. |

"About the only way to guard • ,against acute overheating is to tape !

i up water drains and watch the concli- I tion of the clips on the hose connec­tions. liven then the possibility of a •

I sudden radiator leak cannot be guard-led against nor the breakage of the wa-i tor pumps or connections.

"On long reliability runs it is cus­tomary for the passenger to watch at

the side of the radiator for steam to come from the overflow pipe, this be­ing a possible way of determining a deranged cooling system.

"Unfortunately it is not possible to drive with one's hand on the radiator, for means of radiator temperature it is not only possible to tell water loss but also overheating due to stoppage ot' oil, as it is a well known fact that the failure of the oiling system pro­duces quick acute overheating with most disastrous results."
