Robbins of , this city has been working on the develop- meat of a hydro-carbon deposit about three mlcs east of Soldier summit , on the line . . o4 of thq Iia Orande Western , and has now tie- velopeI aver ) exlenstve body of this valul' ble mineral , ays the Salt Lake Tribune. The exact nature of the product , however , could not he determined until Prof. Hlrschlng made Dn analysis with the result that he Pf- nOlnces It a combination of elalerle and ozookerite. I combines the principal ingredients - grellents of both those hydro.carbons , and also contains some elements that are foreIgn 10 both , anti which , vII undoubtedly render ' I much more valunble. C. I. La Belle . who 1s associated with Mr. HobbIns , tried all the known solvents of hydro.carbns on the new materIal without success. ITo found a solvent of his own however , which reduces the mineral and the secret of which he proposes to keep to himself. His experiments - ments have dcveloped the fact that the new mineral will make the bet enamel paint . that has yet ben put on the market I ' , wi not crack , nor Is I afecled I by heat or cold , nor by the ap- plleatlon of ammonIa , and only ) an application - calan of its own solvent. Pieces ) soft tin I , bave ben coated with the liquid and can be bent Into an ) shape and lent back again without In the least disturbing either the gloss or the bOdy of the coating. Experts who have seen the enamel pint state that I Is superior to an ) varnish made and that for coach work I can'ot be excele . Mr. La Dele has converted the mineral Into steral other forms , ' including that of gta percla , and Is goIng into the manu- faelure of buttons , combs and other small articles to show what the new mineral Is capable of The liquid ho proposes to USe for coaling leather , to make shoes water- proof . and to convert an ordinary leather I shoe Into a patent leather shoe. Patents for ] lls processes have been applied for anti the prospects of a new and valuable industry being started 're exceedingly flattering . ) ORGNAL SEA SERPENT. Prof. W. C. KnIght , returning from the fossIl fields of Natronn , brought back with 11m a curiosIty of the prehistoric age which ho believes Is one of the most remarkable Ils- coverlcs ever matte , says the Larnmle He pub- lican. The find Is no less than a fossil sea aaurlan the like of whIch Is unknown to sclonco. The professor believes It to be a new species of the sea serpent. I resembles nolhlng that has ever been discovered on the merican continents and It Is believed that . nothing like It has ever been unearthed In 1urope. At a moderate estimate Prof. lnhht believes that the fossil Intact will , readily bring $ : , ,000 If It proves what he an- . tclpates , something entirely new to the palo- ontologIcal worhl. - That portion of the marine monster brought to the university condlst of one of the pad- : dIes of the serpent , which the professor was obliged to hew out of a sell rock. lIe Is salsfe that the entire fossil can be secured , b ) the came method. The arm of the reptile Is forty Inches long and eIghteen Inches wide. 'Vhere the arm joIns the body I Is twelve ; Inches across , whlo the base shows a width ' f fifteen Inches. A curious feature of the . pndle ( Is thai the extremity shows a striking , resemblance to the hand of a human being , I only on a gigantic scale The four fingers . are there . as Is also a mammoth thumb. The professor belIeves that the monster must have bean sixty feet long at the very ) Jeast. He Is quite certain that nothing like lke . i has ever been founll. anti If he succeeds .In having It dug out of its rock beel , Is quite lure that a big sum will bo offered for It by : worll-fametl paleontologists. ) hOUSES BUILT 01 PAY ORE.
