a CaIIfornis Well.

Cutler Salmon of French Camp, not
far from Stockton. CAL, sank well
with a seven-inch tube to q depth Of
about $40 feet, and struck a copious
stream of excellent water. Desiring to
learn whether be could increase the
flow by going deeper, and fearing that
should he continue the well the same
size, he might injure the quality Of the
upper strata of water, Mr.. Salmon hit
on the plan of sinking four-inch one.
and thus making what might be called
the experimental well four inches in
diameter. This inner one he bored to
a depth of $50 feet, and then came to
water again. This lower stream came
to tbs surface, and, indeed, rose il a
tube twenty-five feet above the ground.
The last water found was unfit for
drinking, and but for an accidental dis
cOvery of its properties might have been
considered nuisance. 1t was found
there WAS large amount of gas in this
waller from the lower depth. This came
bnbbling TO the surface, making one
think of gigantic soda fountain.
Some one suggested the idea of seeing
if the gas would burn. A coal Oil can
was put over the top of the can, and
having few holes punched in it, an
improvised gas fixture was at hand.
Only match was required to complete
the preparations. The match was
lighted and applied to a hole In the can
and the flames sEot up three or four feet
INTO the air and burned steadily. The
gas would burn. Mr. Salmon had fire
and water coming out of the same hole
in the ground. The tube of the outer
well, that which was only $40 feet deep
and furnished the good water for all
domestic uses and for stock, ETC., was
Leu off in pipes TO the house and other
localities. 4 curbing was built around
the twin wells in such way tnat it
formed reservoir Ior the wafer from
the l go foot level, and that portion
from ABOVE which was not conveyed
away III the pipes. All through this
water i'll the reservoir came bubbling
up the gas generated somehow son g.
where down below. When Mr.. Salmon
next went to Stockton he had a gaso-
meter made with stop-cock In the top,
and this he took home and fastened
over his wells. The bottom was beneath
the surface uf the water in the reservoir,
aud the gas speedily filled the bell-shaped
receiver. Tue next thing was to attach
a gas pipe and connect his home-made
Gas machine with the house.
de put pipe perforated with small
holes across his large, open fireplace,
turned the gas, applied match, and
the problem OF cheap fuel was instantly
solved. After that gas-pipe was put
into the fire-box of the kitchen stove,
and now the meats are prepared with
the new fuel. Mr.. Salmon has also used
the gas FOR illuminating, but it does not
seem to entirely ill the bill, although
II Is great improvement on a tallow
dip. II has been suggested that, as
this gas seems TO be almost pure hydro
gen, 1t might be carburretted and its
illuminating power improved. The gas
throws OFF a great amount Of heat, and
without doubt such well would supply
a large number of families with the
meaus of waIming their houses and
preparing their food.

No More Frontier.

Bill Nye says the system of building
railroads into the wilderness and then
allowing the wilderness to develop
afterwards, has knocked the essential
joy out Of the life of the pioneer. At
one time the hardy newer of wood and
drawer of water gave his lifetime
willingly that his son might ride in the
vanished cars" Now the Pullman
car takes the New Yorker to the
threshold of the sea or the boundry
line between the United States and the
British possessions.
1t has driven out the long handled
frying pan and the flapjack of twenty
years ago, and introduced the conden-
Sod milk and canned fruit Of COM
merce. Along the highways where
once the hopeful hundreds marched
with long handled shovel and pick and
pan, cooking by the way thin salt pork
and flapjacks and slumgnlllon, now the
road is lined with empty beer bottles
and peach cans that have outlived their
usefulness. No landscape can be pic
turesque with an empty peach can in
the foreground any more than lion
would look grand in red monogram
hOrseblanket and false teeth.
The modern camp is not the camp of
the wilderness. 1t wears the half civil
hzed and shabby genteel garments of a
sawed-Off town. You know that if
you ride day you will be where you
can get the daily papers and read them
under the electric light. That robs the
old canons of their solemn isolation
and peoples each gulch with the odor
of Goldfish balls aud civilization. Civil
lZati0n is not to blame for all this, and
yet 1t seems sad.
Civilization could not have done this
all alone. 1t had to call to its aid the
internal fruit can that low desolates

"a Calamity SIR

On an incoming Vandalia train was
q family of five-a fat, good-natured
man, his wife, pretty but nervous
lady, AMI gracious knows, twas enough
to make her nervous, the trouble she
bad with their three children. The
eldest, boy of six, mashed his hand by
pulling a window down on it. A little
later, the three-year- old, at a sudden
jerk of the train, turned somersault,
bruising and gashing his head. Then
the half-year-od baby upset the alchO-
hol lamp from the window sill, which
frightened the mother nearly inte hys-
terics, which was signal for all the
children to set up in chorus. But during
the next five minutes, when that half
distracted woman was trying to stop
the music, that fat man, from the seat
back of ber, looked on with never an
effort-he was really charming in his
complacency. When quiet reigned again
the wife said with sigh:
81 do know have more trouble than
any woman on earth"
''Oh, no, my dear; don't say that, {"
answered Benedict, not moving his eyes
from his paper.
''l do say itl' she replied more stout
ly. "There's no calamity could befall
a woman which l have sot suffered. !"
''Oh, no, my dear; not 50 bad as that
For instance: You are not a widow, 4"
he answered sweetly.
She held her breath two seconds and
then retorted-and it made the Sentinel
man laugh the next hour to hear the
shot:
81 said calamity sirI"

She Was In Hts Debt

A tramp struck Detroit the other
day who will grow rich where others of
his class will freeze AMI starve. 1t has
long been a wonder that none Of these
men seemed to know how to take hu-
man nature, but here is man at last.
He was yesterday working several
streets in the northern part of the city.
He made his calls at the front door.
Selecting his house, and when his ring
was answered he would remove his Tat

"No. sir"
"Ahl excuse me. l was told it was

"Yes, l think So"

A Typical Texas Town.

The hour of 8 P. NJ is fitting one
to arrive at Fort Worth, for this Is the
Texas city which never sleeps. The
census Of 1890 gave it the population
Of a good-sized village. About that
time the Texas and Pacific pushing
westward reached "the Fort" as 1t is
still known in common parlace. and
growth set in which has been so rapid
that the legitimate uses OF the night
have been forgotten Probably this
wakefulness is just as well, for tran
sient arrivals increase faster than the
hotels do, and every evening the haras-
sed clerks wrestle with the problem OF
finding beds enough to 90 around.
Single rooms are impossible luxuries.
or all Texas cities this takes the palm
for liveliness and peculiar combination
of metropolitan and frontier character.
The street cars run until midnight, stop
two hours, and then resume trips.
When most honest merchants are abed
the two long business streets, which
run parallel from the railroad mile
and half to the bluff overlooking the
Trinity, are ablaZa with lights from q
still open shops. On the main thorough
fare one of the most conspicuous
structures is sThe White Elephant"
The sum of S27, 900 has been laid out
in mirrors and interior decorations to
make the cowboy feel at home as he
takes high priced drinks over the mas
sive counter. Behind the saloon there
is billiard hall as large as any in ST.
Louis. Adjoining is restaur ant OF
metropolitan size and elegance. DOWN
the broad, richly carpeted staircase
streams flood of light from the second
floor. No closed doors muffled the
click of chips and the monotone OF the
roulette roller as he sings:
Round and round the little bail goes
Low, even. the black win1.
All paid and here we roll again,
dime, quar- ter, half q dollar,
Everything goes IN Texas
