THRILLING SIGHTS.
PennsyIvanla Natural Gas Wells Fired by
FLASHES of lightning.

EiasutS Va h'Sh'h'hE'
The burning of natural gas wells in
Pennsylvania are sights as thrilling to
the beholder as they are dangerous to
adjacent property. Recently ono of
these wells took fire. and n volume Of
flame shot up into the air for several
hundred feet with velocity that was
astounding. showing that the pressure
of Gas from beneath was something be-
yond comprehension. This well burned
for long time in spite of all efforts to
shut of the flame. 1t was finally done
by means of huge extinguisher.
which was advanced slowly to the
mouth OF the well and then raised ver-
tically, thus shutting of the air and
smothering tho flame.
A few days since, one Of these wells
was set on fire in very curious man.

until gas in small quantities was found

storm came up, the atmosphere became
thick and prevented the gas from ris-

trouble, and hastily departed from the
well. They had scarcely got to safe
distance when fash Of lightning ig-
nited the gas in the atmosphere over
the well; flames instantly communi.
Gated to the well itself. the result be-
Ing that the gas in the lower regions
was released, and shot upward with

Another well was struck at the same
time in another section of the oil re-
gions, and was burning for long time,
threatening adjacent property. Fires
occurring in the products of the oil re-
gions. whether gas or oil, are extreme

She Visits and Cause. y Disturbance n
the Sunday school.
It was q pretty church, and al
about 1t were fields Of daisies, and
sweetsmelling clover. Now when
Buttercup went to this church. she did
not 60 to the regular service, but to
Sunday-school. Buttercup was large.
yellow COW, who belonged In a field
next to the church. In which she ought
to have staid. There was plenty OF
nice grass there for her breakfast din
ner and supper. But Buttercup. like
q good many people. wanted change,
and when she saw all the boys and
girls going into the church door. she
thought she would like to go. She
tried all the rails of the fence till she
found one that was loose. Then she
jerked her head up and down, till she
unfastened 1t so she could crawl
through on her knees.
The Sunday-school had begun by
this time. but Buttercup did not mind
that. She walked into the church
quietly. and as the children and their
teachers were all singing. no one
noticed her at first. The children
were sitting in the pcws nearest the
chancel, so Buttercup got half way up
the aisle before any one saw her.
Then ono little boy turned his head.
He was 80 frightened his hymnal fell
on the floor; and he cried out: "Oh,
see the cow!" Then it seemed Is II
every body screamed. One OF the
teachers got on top Of the little cabinet
organ, and two or three stood up on
the seats.
Bu,tercup. however, paid no atten-
ton to them. She saw II nice red apple
sticking out of boys pocket. and she
thought she would like to have 1t. The
boy. who was Jack Nichols. did not
know what she wanted, 80 when she
came near he jumped over into the
next pew and knocked little Daisy
Finlay's hat of. and that made Daisy
cry.
What Buttcrcup would have done
next | don't know; SO many people
cried: "Shoo!' and there was SO much
noise. she might have got frightened
herself. and frightened cow can do
great deal Of damage In a church; but
Miss Lloyd, who was the superinten.
dent, called to every one TO be quiet
Then two or three Of the bigger boys
said II they had stick they thought
they could get her out But Miss
Lloyd spoke again:
"If there Is any boy here whom the
cow knows" she said, "I think she
would follow him out, and that would
be better than trying to drive her"
"She's my grandfather's cow" said
Bruce Smith, "and 1 guess she will
follow me-" So he went In front Of
her and called "Buttcrcup. Butter
cupr and, sure enough, she went after
him.
Now the vestry door was open. and
just opposite that was another door
opening out on the grass As soon as
Buttercup caught sight OF the nice
grass, she ran out and began to nibble
the fresh bits around the doorstep.
Then, as much as to say goodbye"
she kicked up her feet, tossed her head
and trotted off to her own feld-LttsIe

Tho primitive method Of making loo
cream by tho confectioner Of tho TO-
volutionary days was vastly different
from the way 1t is made now. First tho

Then It was found that crosn alone

to 1t the cream increased nearly twice
in quantity. Tho trade fell entirely
into the hands OF the bakers and con-
foctioners, and the first work at which
the bakers apprentice was put In those
days was beating up ice-cream with q
wooden paddle. The ice-cresm season
had no pleasures for him, for he spent
his days, and frequently his nights,
agitating tho frozen sweetness with
his wooden paddle, while his COM
panions. with their girls, helped to eat
the fruit Of his labors
As the demand for the delectable dish
increased the old paddle method was
found TO be too slow, and machinery was
devised by which the work could be
done by steam. water and horse power.
and now the beaters revolve within the
closed can while revolving blades cut
the frozen cream from the sides OF the
vessel.
The growth and development Of the
trade has brought so much machinery
into use that upon 1t depends q vast

was discovered almost simultaneously
with the discovery Of this great conti-
nent, and stranger still 1t was made by
an Indian woman of oae Of the tribes
in Northern Pennsylvania. The ab-
origincs in that part Of the State used
the milk of the cow elk, and thoy kept
their milk In jugs hewn out Of stone.
The milk frequently froae and was
generally thrown away as useless; but
one of the squaws took to eating 1t and
found 1t good, and she took to freoz-
