THE FLOW OF PETROLEUM.

The absurdity of the prediction made
by Mr.. Wrigley in his paper read before
the American Institute of Mining En-
gineers last February, that the supply
OF petroleum will be exhausted in about
four years, is daily becoming more evil
dent. As has been shown in our col
umns, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press, no geological survey can deter
mine the extent of oil fields already
discovered, or what new fields may yet
be found. One of the discovered
oil wells In Warren County, Pa, has
been known to yield 1, 105 barrels of oil
in one day, and the discoveries in that
one county have been equaled in i'm
portance but once during the whole his
tory of the petroleum industry. It is
said that the total amount of oil pro-
duced since the first discovery of petro-
leum on Oil Greek is 1S6, 500, 1913 bar
rels, and the total consumption 155, 19l,
437 barrels, leaving surplus of 81, 0OO,-
600 barrels, which is about the amount
now In iron tanks in the oil regions.
The consump ton ID 1881 was q, 263, 740
barrels, SO that supply for nearly
year and half is already provided. The
discovery of large oil fields In Germany
and Russia may possibly reduce the for
eign demand for our petroleum, but the
use of oil is SO rapidly increasing that
it has been predicted that the worlds
consumption will soon be 100000 bar
rels daily. 1t is believed by experts
that important oil fields will be discov-
cred in other states than Pennsylvania
and New York, and it is ridiculous to
suppose that the flow of petroleum in
country will cease within four years.

THE COREAN TREATY.

The United States is the second ma
tion to enter into treaty relations with
that little known country, Corea. Japan
has enioyed commercial intercourse for
years, but no western power has previ-
ously been granted such a privilege.
Some of the European nations, especial
ly England, are commonly credited with
more energy in extending their CONNER
cial relations than is the United States,
and therefore it is little remarkable
that two of the oriental countries, Japan
and Corea, should have been first
opened to the western world by the gov
eminent OF the United States. Another
thing which makes the willingness of the
Coreans to cultivate closer relations with
the United States little singular is that
q special cause of hostility not long ago
existed between the two countries. In
1871 an American feet, under Admiral
Rodgers, was fred upon by the Coreans,
and in return the Americans landed and
captured some of their batteries, after a
hot skirmish. Only two years ago Corea
showed that she had not forgiven the
drubbing administered by Admiral
Rodgers, for when, in 1880, Commodore
Shufeldt undertook the task of securing
assent to treaty of amity and commerce
he was roughly repulsed with the declar-
alton that America was the enemy of
Corea. What has occurred since then
to alter the opinions of the Coreans re-
garding us, is matter for speculation.
According to theShanghai Herald, the
existing treaty of Corea with Japan is
of an exclusive character, and, if strict
~ construed would cause complications
between the two countries in connection
with the concessions extended to the
United States. The terms of the treaty
with Japan were that Corea agreed not
to enter into relations with any other
power except by the consent of Japan
and through her mediation. In the re-
cent negotiations no account was taken
of Japan, aid it remains to be seen
whether she will resent the neglect.

ADVANCING PRICES.

The Public, which has latterly been
making interesting studies of compare
tive prices, has in late number shown
strikingly the advance in prices during
the past twelve months. Comparing the
prices In the middle of June last year
and this, it appears that the advance in
grain has been more than one-ffth. in
meats nearly one-third, in dairy products
more than one-half; in sugar the advance
has been trihing. Altogether the ad-
vance has been rather more than % per
cent; $74.93 being required, June ID,
1882, to purchase the food that could
have been purchased June IA, 1881, for
$3.50. In clothing, metals and lumber
there has been scarcely any change in
prices. Since November, 1878, the ad-
vance IN grain has been more than one
half, in meats nearly one-half, In dairy
products a little less, in sugar very
small advance. Altogether the advance
in the prices of food has been SO per
cent. what in November, 1878, cost
$49.54, now costing $74.93. Prices OF
clothing, metals and lumber have also
advanced, but in smaller percentages.
Aggregating all these classes of articles,
it is shown that what now costs $144. So
cost only $108.77 in November, 1873.
Prices at that time were much lower
than they were before the war. The
articles included in the Pubhc's tables
would have cost S134.84 at the prices in
January, 1860, and $128.98 year ago.

of Madison County, Illinois, who some
time ago secured judgment in the
county court for damages in a certain
amount against the company's right-of-
way claims. The supreme court, III dis
posing of this case, quotes the rights OF
eminent domain, explaining that a tele-
graph company sought to condemn a
strip of land through quarter section
Is inches wide and three feet deep every
$50 feet, from the point of beginning,
etc., of sufficient width to erect telegraph
poles and fixtures thereon, the poles to
be set along the line of the right of way
of railroad, which was fenced, and the
proof showed that there would be IL
poles on the defendants land, which was
worth $50 per acre. Three witnesses for
the defendant testified that the damages
would be $40 pole, arising from their
interfering with the use of farming i'm
plements, while three witnesses for the
petitioner testified, one, that so cents,
and the other two that 81 pole would
be full compensation, and that when the
poles followed the line of the right of
way of railroad company, as in this
case, in their Judgment there could be
no other damage than the value of the
land taken. 1t also appeared that a
strip of land six feet wide, across the
whole track, would be two-tenths of an
acre, of the value of $12 at 500 an acre,
and such a strip Is feet wide would be
six-tenths of an acre, and worth but 1886.
The jury, by it verdict, gave the defend
ant $38. so. 1t was held, however, that
the verdict was manifestly too high, and
for this error the judgment was reversed.
The supreme court further held that the
testimony of witnesses as to the amount
of damages where there is no basis of
damages is of no value of evidence, and
therefore decided in favor of the teIe-
graph company.
