NoTEL EXPERIMENT IN Az On WELL.-Ex-
FLosIoz OF A SUBMARINE ToRREDo.-The Erie
Dispatch says that on Saturday last the
long-talksd of experiment of exploding 8
submarine torpedo in an oil well! to en-
large its producing capacity, was tried in
the "Ladies' Vel, }" on the Watson Flats
below TtusviHe. The torpedo contained
eight pounds Of powder, and was applied
at depth Of 453 feet. The explosion caused
the oil and water to shoot out Of the well
some thirty feet into the air, and made the
ground groan like great monster in the
agonies Of death. The aow Of oil Wster
and Parra.fne continued some ten
minutes, when the disturbance subsided
gradually, and oil appeared on the surface

made by the inventor of the appliance,
Mr.. Robsrts of New York, who is about to
introduce the torpedo for general use. It
is constructed upon the percussion plan,
and SO arranged that it viii explode after
it has reached q certain depth where it is
intended to produce the desired effect. It
is well known fact that the roaming of sn
oil well sometimes enlarges it SO as to
greatly increase the yield of oil 4; and also
that the agitation of it, either by pumping
or forcing air into it, generally has the
same resulS. Hence, it has been concluded
that if an appliance could be used by
means of which the sandstone or .oiI-bsar-
ing rock could be broken up or rent ssun-
der that of course the yield Of oil Of many
small veins might be secured for the same
well. Mr.. Roberts appliance is constructed
to produce this result, and the first expert
ments made with it indicate that the plan
