Fortu M es fra Coal Oil,


 The fame of Coal Oil Johnny" his mag nlticent fortune and reckless extravagance still lives, although the hero is working on the Tldewater pipe line at $2 50 day. But John Steele is not the only man who has &C., quired vast wealth in the petroleum regions There are many men in the cities and towns in the oil regions who have amassed princely fortunes and are solid business men. There are many others who have accumulated rich es and, like 'Coal Oil Johnny" been bereft of them by the changing fortunes or the pre- carious business. Capt. Vandererift of Pitts burg has made seven or eight millions out of the oil Industry. Marcus Rulings and Wes- ley Chambers of Oil City have each accumu- lated three or four millions, and many others have piled up fortunes during years of sue cessful business, but the present year has seen more fortunes made in day than ever before. Oil speculation has reached a prom thence far beJ ond year ago. Suffering for years from an over production, values in the producing regions reached minimum, when the great wells of the famous Cherry Grove region began pouring forth their floods of oil. But suddenly those great wells stopped flow ing and production and consumption came in close relation to each other Like spring pressed down by some heavy weight ana sud denly released, the price of oil bounded up ward. Speculators who had experienced scouts among the wells had the decrease of production foreshadowed to them, and bought largely, while prices were between 50 and 60 cents so that when the boom came and carried prices up to S'1 25 per barrel they realized fortunes of great magnitude.
 All this was done in the space of two months, One Oil City broker during the frst.week in September bought 4,o0o, 900 barrels at an average price of 55 cents per barrel and during the first week of November he sold the oil at an average price of $1 30, clearing the neat sum of $3, 1000, GOO in two months, while others made as high as $2 ,0O0, O00 in the same time. Of course some of the brokers and spectators lost heavily by being short when the advance began, but they GOV cred as rapidly as possible, the 32, ,000, 900 barrels of oil ID stock being enough to go pretty well around But when prices reached the highest points the poor lambs were shorn of the fruits of their toil The intense OK citement of the great effort of the bulls, when prices were sent flying past the dollar mark, drew into the vortex hundreds of la- boring mon and merchants who put up their few hundreds as bargains and bought. only to be informed few hours later that the de- cline in prices had swept away the earnings of years of saving and toil It was the same old story of poor fools putting their all on another mans game. Of course the capital ist, even if he did buy at the top, could keep putting up margins and wait for another ad vance, but the man who had his all invested had to be mercilessly sold out.

 new system of burying electric wires has been thoroughly tested in Pittsburg, and it is said that the test was successful in every respect. The folio wing description of the device Il given: The wire used is copper insulated with a patent insulating substance made of cotton boiled in a preparation of petroleum tar, which has been found to be @ thorough insulator. This is again covered with lead, which completes the cable. The process of it's manufacture is very interest ing The number of wires it is desirable to place in cable are first insulated and then drawn with an iron pipo through hydraulic press, each wire being kept the required dis tarce from it's neighbor. The chamber of the hydraulic press is then filled with molten lead, and as the press descends the wires drawn through a corrugated iron pipe and the lead forced around them, each chamber full of lead making fifty fett of cable. The cable is made in sections about half mile long, so that they can be easily handled from & reel. If desired they could be made one, two or three miles long each. After this operation the cable is complete and ready for laying in the ground. It is claimed for the cable that it is thoroughly insulated, and therefore is free from the annoyances occa- stoned by inductIon it IS covered with lead, and thus escapes the influence of all atmos- pheric changes in the cost of maintenance it is much cheaper than an air line, and, for 8 large number of wires the original cost of construction is less the resistance is much

 Causes Of Lateral Curyat ure of the Spine. From "BodiIy Deformities in Girlhood," by Dr. Charles Roberts, in Popular Science monthly for
 January.J
 No deformity of child's body gives rise to so much alarm to parents, or is the subject of greater diversity of treatment among medical men, as lateral curvature of the spine and this is due, believe, to an imperfect acquain- tance with it's origin. Specialists are accus- toned to treat lateral curvature, knock knee, and flat foot as distinct deformities, while in truth they all links in the chain of one deformity, Lateral curvature may arise in different ways, but in all cases it is due to
 
 the upright position, and is the result of an effort of nature to maintain the center of gravity of the body and support the head and shoulders in the position which requires the least expenditure of muscular effort. The par alysls, wasting or loss of limb, or the shorten ing of one of the legs by disease of joint, rickets knock knee, or Hat foot in growing children, will produce lateral curvature and these it's chief if not it's only causes It Is not deformity arising from general debil- lty,. and 1 do not think it can be produced as IS often asserted, by an awkward sitting posi- tion, as in writing and other school occupa. tlons. The curvature of the spine which re- suits from these causes is antero- -posterior. or what is commonly called round boulder (non carious). The tendency of debility, whether local or general, is to bring the body into the prone or recumbent DO ,ition, and not to tilt it on one side
 Setting aside the cases of lateral curvature in children who have beJn affected with rick cts, disease of joints paralysis or loss of a limb in early life, and which affect both sexes and all ages equally, what may be called the ldlopathic or acquired deformity is ely found in children of either sex under the age of nine or ten years, and very rarely in boys about that age It is. indeed, almost peculiar to girls verging on puberty. and Is as often found in strong and healthy as in weak and delicately built girls, and most commonly in those who are too fat and heavy for their stature and age It is deformity which is less common among the laboring classes than among the rich and well-to do, and is largely associated with life of indolence and luxury.

STRONG COMMON SENSE.
Applied tO the State Debt Ques-
ton by Mai. VIM. j. Sykes.

We reproduce, with pleasure, from
the Columbia Independent sn article
watch gives some characteristic
views of Maj. Wm. J. Sykes on the
condition OF the State and the duties
oft6e people as 10 the debt question.
In a conversatl with Maj. W.
J. Sykes, Monday, We asked him
what was 20 be done in our Stale
now He replied: You ask me
what is now 10 be done? That is the
all importsnt question. The 100 3
settlement has been declared by the
Supreme Court OF Tennessee un-
constitutional, and set aside. No
settlement can he made which con-
tains the coupon receivable feature
or any other form OF security. EV-
cry Legislature must levy the tax
30 pay the interest upon the debt
and TO provide sinking fund to re-
deem the principal. Can s settle
ment be made upon these terms
which will be of any value? think
it car. II such 3 settlement should
be mace as would be acceptable to
large majority OF the people of the
State believe it would stand and
be carried out in good faith even
without any security on the face of
the bill. Suppose we refuse to
make any settlement because we
cannot give security, then repudia-
tion is inevitable, because it is de-
cided by oar highest court that this
cannot be given. To let this ques-
tion remain unsettled is to ruin our
State, not only in character but CON-
mercially and in all her material in
terest- 1t is useless TO shut our
eyes TO the stern fact that capitsl
never seeks investment in a repudia
tion State, no matter how low the
taxes sIe. Men of business and OF
capital would rather pay The taxes
necessary 10 preserve the credit of
the State than to suffer the pecuni
ary evils OF repudiation. All the
Northern and Northwestern States
pay muclr higher taxes than we do
and vet capital has been avoiding
Tennessee and going there. Vir
ginia and Tennessee have both per-
mitted their financial reputation to
berbe injured, if not destroyed. and
