THE VERY DEEPEST.
The Deepest Artificial Hole Made in til
World.

The Deepest Artificial Hole Made in the
World.
The deepest hole in the world is loca-
ted at HomewOod, Pa. The drill is now
over six thousand feet below the sur.
face, which is unquestionably the deep
est artificial hole made by man in the
world. The search for natural gas as
well as oil is leading to the sinking Of
tens of thousands of wells in this and
other countries. Natural gas, by the
vay,is creating an industrial revolution.
1t is taking the place of coal in large
sections of the country, for heat and
light. Spectators have seized upon this
apparently new development of natural
forces. and it threatens to be another
petroleum craze. Many of these gas
wells seem practically permanent. Some
have been in operation in Pennsylvania
for twenty years with no sign of diminu-
ton in the flow. 1t seems there are gas
wells in China over one thousand years
old. The gas is conveyed through bam-
boo pipes with the MOBILES of baked clay.
and many of the flames have been kept
burning literally for hundreds Of years.

, PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.
The present condition of the law relating
to the succession to the Presidency in the
event OF the death. disability or removal of
both the President and vice President is
such as to require amendment. This subject
has repeatedly been considered by Congress,
but no result has been reached. The recent
lamentable death OF the Vice Presi-
dent, and vacancies 1t the same time in all
