amounting to about eighty barrels per

hydrogen gas, which barps readily and

throughout the structure is certainly evil
deuce of the presence of gas in very COD
siderable quantities. Mr.. Amsdell states
that as the presence of gas had not been
noticed until after the earthquake, he
was led to associate the two facts, and
thought that perhaps a pressure had
heen opened by the convulsion connect
ing the shaft Of the well with natural
gas reservoir. The question of utilizing
the fluid for fuel purposes has not
yet been considered, as no tests
have been made to ascertain the

He was only dog, but very smart
dog indeed. He belonged to the class
known as Shepherd dogs, which are not
ed for their sagacity and fidelity. Hi
master was little italian boy, calico
Beppo, who earned his living by selling
flowers on the streets. Tony was very
fond of Beppo, who had been his master
ever since he was puppy. and Beppe
had never failed to share bis crust with
his good dog. Now Tony has grown t.
be large strong dog. and took as much
care of Beppo as Beppo took of him
Often, while standing on the corner with
bis basket on his arm, waiting for CTS
toner, Beppo would feel very tired, and
as he lived near, he would 80 home for 6
little while to rest. One day he wat
really i'll, and, having filed the basket
he:tied it around Tony's neck. Then he
looked in tho dogs eyes and said
"Now, Tony, you are the only fellow
have to depend on. Go and sell my
flowers and bring the money home safe
and don't let any one steal anything
Then he kissed the dog and pointed to
the door. Tony trotted out in the street
to Beppo's usual corner, where he grave
ly took his stand. Beppo's customers
soon saw how matters stood, and chose
their flowers and put the money i'm the
tin cup within the basket. Now and
then, when rude boy would come along
and try to snatch flower from the
basket, Tony would Rrowl fiercely and
drive him away.
So that day went safely by and at
nightfall Tony went home to his master,
who was waiting anxiously to see him,
and gave him a hearty welcome. Boppc
united the basket and looked in the cup,
and I shouldn't wonder if he found more
money in it than he ever did before
That is how Tony sold the rosebuds;
and he did so well that Berpo never tires
of telling about it.
