4 REMARKABLE OM WEi.!~--A most re.
,n:rkabe oil well in the town of Rock, rear
.lanesvlIe, Wisconsin. has excited good deal
Of attention among sccutitic men in that re:
sion. Its great peculiarly is that it is bored
through series of Strati6td rocks older than the
coal formation and is situated in State where
no coal exists. As it is admitted that oil is
product Of carbonierous formations, the ques-
ton that puzzles people was, where could the
oil have come from? Certainly not from the
Illinois coal beds, which are near BY, because
the dip of the strata, strongy y defined, Is from
North TO South, and it would be still more
strange to find petroleum flowing up hill to an
outlet higher than it's source, than TO discover
its existence in IL rock where. according to the
laws of geology, it hal ~ hu ness to be.
Still there was 10 doubt that there was oil in
the well. At last L close Investigation of the
unctuous fluid showed that the oil was refined
petroleum, whereupon sensible observers came
to the conclusion that its presence WAS no long
er a mystery, but could be accounted for on
the theory that the proprietor, who Is not
averse to selling, only pumped out what ne
had previously poured in. Others less skeptl-
cal arc ncstins their money in the further de-
yelopment of this extraordinary territory, where,
the wells yield refined OIL

The LrclFER; MARCH, The invention Of
our present luciter match was great because it
was 30 small, and it now turns out that thepr
luction of this most useful, but at the same
time most dangerous frcwork, was due, to a
happy thought which flashed through the
brain of Mr. Isaac. Holden, who so terms the
idea in his evidence before the patent commit
tee. Mr.. Holden had to rise at four in the
morning to pursue his studies in chemistry,
and experienced the gravest Inconvenience
from his tedious efforts to obtain a light from
flint and steel. He was giving lectures at this
time to very large academy. He goes on to
say "Of course | knew. as ether chemists
did, he e.. sive material that was nec1 sary
il order to produce instantaneous, light; but
it was very difficult to obtain light on wood
by that explosive material, and the idea ooc-
Cured to me to put under the explosive mix,
ture sulphur. I did that and published it in
my next lecture, and showed it. There was
a young man in the room whose father was
chemist 10 London, and he Immediately wrote
to his father about it, ard shortly afterwards
lucifer matches were issued to the world. -
