deposit of oil which exhibits none of the
impurities of petroleum when it comes
from the ground, but, on the contrary,
spouts from the sand in a refined condi-

For several years the transmission of
messages simultaneously in opposite di-
rections over single telegraph wire has
been very common thing in land teleg-
raphy. Indeed, the sending of two mes
saees in opposite directions at the same
time is now an everyday affair, thus
making one wire equal to four before
this quadruplex invention. Not until
recently, however, has there been any
thing attempted by which the long At
lantic cables could be duplexed or quad
ruplexed, and the attempt at the outset
has been remarkable and gratifying
success. The inventor, who is now in
Boston, Is DR.. A. Muirhead, q Scotch.

A NEW JERSEY man, of an inventive
turn Of mind, undertook to accomplish
the biblical feat of walking on water.
He had made two immense India-rubber
shoes inflated with air. He succeeded
in walking fifty yards on the river, and
was making bravely for the opposite
shore when he was struck by a stiff
breeze and lost his balance. His head
went down and his feet remained above
water, and fifteen minutes later couple
of gunners, sighting the huge shoes, mis-
took them for couple of amphibious
monsters and riddled them with buck
shot. This released the air and the man
disappeared. He was found two weeks
afterward.
