Wyoming is just now attracting attention as an oil producer. The oil region is in Sweetwater county, and the two principal oil basins are the Shoshone and Beaver. The Shoshone basin is the undoubted bed of an ancient lake of petroleum, which covers be- tween forty and fifty acres. The oil does not spout out of and above the wells, as is the case in the Pennsylvania fields, but boils up from the earth like water from spring. Another peculiarly of the region is that the oil does not rise in the shafts above the top of the crust. The flow of oil and rush of gas are ftful and intermittent and fill the shafts at the rate of not more than twelve barrels 8 day. It is the belief of experts and scientific men that the true scource of the petroleum supply is not less than one thousand feet be- heath the crust, and that when once the dril- penetrates the triassio rock, where 1t must therefore lie, the supply will be such as to far exceed that following the drill from the rioh- est deposit ever yet ''struck" in Pennsylva- mia. The five acres of this ancient lake that have been uncovered will give room for over two thousand of the shafts or shallow. wells and at their small yield the output would be more than twenty thousand barrels day. With the vast subterranean lake of petroleum which evidently lies at the greater depth tap ped by the drill, the production, it is be- heved, would be sufficient to meet any poss1 ble demand.

A jolly farmer I;
 For, when look around, Fine views see, that finer be The more they're ground care not for the world,
 Whate'er may come to pats; I'd suiIe if all this earthly ball Should go to grass. Yet many things there be Of which may complain; When tempests blow, they're apt to go Against my grain. Ana when my hired ma, A cazeless, reckless pup, Moved into me below the knee felt cut up. Yet, now the wound is well, happy man am l. It makes me gay to each day The sun get high. And when the aelds of corn Show many waving row, And tickled earth, seems in her mirth, To laugh ''Hoei hoe!" And neighbors hail me oft, At work at early morn, The jokes let hy-I naught reply; I own the corn. Kind words speak at morn And when my work is through; At morn, s'Good dayi" at night say "A dswi Q dew!" I'm not above my work, For. when look around, clearly see none long can be Above the ground.

The cutting of the proposed can al from the Mediterranean to the Dead sea would cause the river Jordan, the Sea of Tiberias and the Daed sea itself to disappear, together with some 300 square miles of territory containing many landmarks of Bible history. The pro- prietors say that so far from experiencing any opposition from Christian people, they have been encouraged to proceed, since such a change in the geography of Palestine would be regarded as 8 remarkable and almost lite ral fulfllment of prophecy as found in the forty seventh chapter of Ezekiel.

pretences, but also damage the market for the standard American fabric by giving the consumer the belief that the article he sup posed he was buying, and which he has tess- cd by use previously, is of variable quality and some of it not so good as it's reputation. In the same market Consul Stevens finds that dealers in petroleum fill empty American cans and cases with Russian petroleum of poor duality and sell it to the simple natives as the genuine product of American oil wells.
 A curious experiment in pile driving has been made at Pssth by M. Pradamovic, city engineer. Circumstances made 1t necessary to erect most of the constructions on the quay of Pesth on piles. and Pradamovic con- ceived the idea of driving these piles by series of explosions of dynamite cartridges. The head of the pile was first cut off square and on 1t was placed circular plate of cast iron sixteen inches in diameter, five inches thick, and on the center of this plate was placed dynamite cartridge of one and one third pounds in the shape of a circular disc wrapped up in parchment; it was about six inches in diameter and three-quarters of an inch thick. The explosions were effected by electricity. The effect produced under these conditions corresponded with those obtained by five blows of drop weighing three thou sand two hundred and fifty pounds falling through height of ten feet. The metallic plate used would stand from twenty to txen- ty-four explosions. This process does away with the necessity of erecting pile driver, as well as the difficulty and delays resulting from the collection of the material and put ting it in place.

My dear sir, don't you understand

the complexion is benefited, but that

krupp's ErOn-WO.ks.

Herr Paul Dehn has written short
account of the immense iron-works of
Krupp, in Essen, for the Industrie
Batter. Krupp's were founded in
1910; in 1855 the number of his work
men rose to 693, and soon afterward
he felt obliged to build dwellings for
them. The number of his workmen in
1882 was 10, 598, and the number of
houses 3,20S, in which lived 16. 200
souls. The houses are built contain
ing from two to five rooms, the rent
running from a about "a to Gil year.
One successful experiment was a
boarding house for 200 single men.
and later for 500 men, providing din
ner with meat four times week, sup
per, coffee, and butter; the bread they
must provide themselves. A large CO
operative store, started by T. Krupp,
has developed enormously, and mon
Opolized the retail trade of the district.
The sick club has existed since 1856,
and in 1882 had II. Oil members, and
a fund of G62,69S. The pensions in
1882 amounted to 92,O42, and the
death liability to 9477; some alterna
tons will probably be made IN the ar
rangements in accordance with the
new laws. Sick clubs among the
workmen's families also exist. There
is a sanitary committee in the works.
The works have had fever hospital
since 1871, an infrmary since 1872.
The former was transferred to the
town of Essen in 1882 for smallpox
cases. A distinction house and ap-
paratus has also been instituted on
Dittmar's plan. Baths were put up
near the entrance of the works in
1874. In 1876 a life insurance fund
was started, and has risen to 1, 525
members. A high school, with twenty
class-rooms and a private school with
sixteen rooms are among Herr Krupp's
foundations, and since 1876 five tech
nical schools have been in existence,
in which classes for women in house
hold work, etc, are also held, which
are now better attended than at first
Secondary schools, both in Essen and
Altendorf, near to, are supported by
the firm. Work for disabled men and
invalids has been instituted since 1876,
such as broom-making for the cooper
ative sores, basket-making, ETC., in
which widows and children are also
employed. In one week in September,
1882, the number of people-men,
women and children-connected with
and dependent on Krupp's works was
