there were a lew who deserve special

Catching a Canon Ball.

n very singular exhibition was given
recently at tho Jardin Mabillo. There
has been performing ut FOlics Bergcrcs Il
man named Holtum. mn American, who
has n canon ball fired ut him and catches
tho ball in his hands. This prodigious
feat was witnessed nightly, and although
the actors present avowcd there was no
trick, Picrrc Vcron, of The Monde Iliustrc,
would not believe it. JIG said that the
canon ball must be thrown to IIoltum
from the stage. The latter mado n bet of
5000 francs that lie would perform tho
feat under condition which left no room
to doubt, and when the bet was taken
Scre:, designated Mabillc rs the place for
the trial. All the journalists of Paris
were invited, and they found lIoltum
tlicrc before his canon. 1t was examined
with minute care, and the heavy ball
passed from hand TO hand. 81 nm no
longer in my own house," said lIOltum
You nrc master here, and you must
watch over nil tho arrangements"
Having carefully aimed and lasllcd his
canon, it was charged, and IIoltum took
his place against n plank target some ten
yards away. This was to show that tho
ball was solid, and tho force of tho pow
der strong enough TO send il through the
plank. lIoltum got tho aim Of his gun,
and then placed his head in n certain
position against the plank, giving the
order to fire. The ball just graZed the
hair, and broke through the plank, roll
ing some twenty yards further on. The
same bnll was picked up by the journal
lists, who again charged the canon md
sent home the ball; and this time lIoltum
caught the ball in his hands rs neatly Ms
he does nightly upon. tho stage. lie won
his bet, and no one seemed disposed tc
accept his offer of $4,000 to any one who
would perform tho same astounding feat
Tho physical force required must be
enormous, but lIoltum showed his strength
by tossing up canon balls as if they were
so many oranges. Tho only precautions
taken arc very simple; lie wears very
thick leather gloves, and covers his breast
with many tllicknesscs of thin paper to
form n sort of cuirass. This looks to INC
like n very dangerous feat, and purticu,
larly tho first part of it, where IIoltum
places his head against the target, half an
inch below where the ball will probably
strike. If the powder should chance to
he defective, some day there might be an
accident. 1t is like the foolhardy trick
OF putting ones head into n lions mouth.

Tho Petroleum Industry.

The early history Of petroleum is curl
ous. known and employed for burning
from remote antiquity in the Old World.
no process for its publication had been
devised, and it was therefore ut best but
nm indifferent and cheaper substitute for
animal and vegetable oils. The first at
tcmpts to refine it for commercial pur-
poses are believed to have been made by
Young, of Glasgow, in 1917, on petroleum
got from Dcrbyshirc, in England, from
which he prepared n lubricating oil, and
1t was the exhaustion Of this suppIy
which led him TO improve the methods
for the extraction of oils from coal.
Meanwhile i'll the United States, the cx-
lstcnce of sources of mineral oil had
been known to the Indians of New York
n Pennsylvania, who priced it MS a
medicine, for which purpose it became
familiar to the European ~colonists under
the name of SGncca-oiI. 1t appears to
have been an object of research TO the
aborigines agcs ago, since in the oil re-
gions OF Western Pennsylvania arc found
pits or wells apparently dug for the pur-
pose OF collecting the oil, carefully tim
bcrcd, and affOrding from tho growth of
tho forest upon the site evidence of an
antiquity Of from 500 to 1000 years. As
early ms 1919, in boring for brine on the
Muskingum River in Ohio, from a dcpth
of 400 feet were obtained large quantities
OF mineral oil, which was n source of
great annoyance to the salt-makers. AT
time attempts were made to use the oil
Tor illumination, but from tho want of
proper lamps, it was not found TO be
adapted TO the purpose. In 1854 the Sue
cessiui manufacture of oils from coal
caused attention to be drawn to the nos
sibility of utilizing these native oils, and
the Pennsylvania Oil Company was
formed for the purpose of manufacturing
the petroleum found ut Oil Creek, in We.
mango County, Pennsylvania. Tho chcmi.
cni investigation of tho material was COIN
mittcd to Professor Is. Sillimnn, Jun, md
his report to the company, which an
pcnrcd in April, 1866, has been tho point
of departure for tho immense industry of
petroleum which Inns grown ND within
The last twenty years. Ir this rcport was
described the conversation of the crude

JUsT So.-Sometime during the last years of his life the late John Quincy Adams wrote beneath q portrait of himself, some lines, of which the following is one: "An age of sorrow and life of storm" These words were not written by wretched outcast, dying in the poor house, but of the marked ia vorites of external fortune. The late Harrison Gray Otis, in a pub lie speech of his latter days, said: "As I look back over my exist ence l see path way of mingled roses and thorns; but the roses has long since disappeared, and the thorns only remain" This was the confession of q man who had everything that almost every human being of our generation thinks worth having, and is striv- ing distractedly to get-health, strength, beauty, grace, eloquence, culture popularity, eight hundred thousand dollars, a palace on the most exquisit spot in Boston, and United States senatorship.
