BURMESE OIL MILLS.
Primitive and Dangerous Method
Of Securing Petroleum.


Of Securing Petroleum.
DR.. Noetling, OF the Indian Geological
Survey, TO whose report on the Pc
troleum deposits OF Burmah reference
has already been made, gives an in
teresting description of the native
method OF digging the wells. AS soon
as a native has made up his mind
where he is going to have a new well,
the workmen, usually four in number,
begin to dig a square shaft, the sides OF
which measure between feet and 4
feet inches. Over this pit "a cross
beam, supported on stanchions at either
side, is placed, in the centre of which
is u small wooden drum or cylinder,
which, with its axis, is made OF u
single piece OF wood, the latter running
on coarse fork-shaped supports. Tho
leather rope used in hauling up the oil
passes over the drum, and on u Is
fastened the workman who is going TO
be lowered down, as well as the COM
mon earthenware pot in which the oil
is drawn up. II possible the we'll is SO
placed that the men or women drawing
the rope walk down an inclined plane
along the slope of hill. The tools
employed in digging are quite primitive
and can only be used in soft strata.
Timber is used TO support the walls Of
the shaft. and the latter is lined with
wood. This wooden wall has considerable
strength, but is has TO be carefully
watched lest it should give way.
The workmen are lowered in an in
genious way. The man sits on two
sings formed of strong rope running
between his legs and knotted over his
left shoulder. To prevent sliding, a
thin rope runs down from the knot,
across the breast, underneath the right
shoulder TO the back, where it is fast
ened TO the rope forming the sings.
A second rope for the same purpose is
fastened around the hips. On account
of the explosive gas filling the shaft no
light can be taken down; the work.
man, therefore, ties up his eyes pre-.
viously to descending so as to enable
him To see during the short time he is
in the we'll, otherwise it would take
him longer to accustom his eyes to the
darkness than he is able to stay down
on account OF the gas. which renders
breathing difficult. The data obtained
by DR.. Noctling as 10 tn time occu-
pied in the ascent and descent, and the
period during which the laborer can
remain below. show that not % per
cent OF the total working time is really
spent in extracting the oil. Two hun
dred and ninety seconds is the longest
time any man, however strong, can re-
main below without becoming uncon-
scious, while in some he can only re-
main sixty seconds. With increasing
depths the difficulties in obtaining the
oil after the Burmese methods become
insuperable. Hence the limit is 3l0
feet and the workers object TO more
than 250 feet. The drawing up OF the
oil is rs primitive as everything else.
The rope is fastened round the neck OF
the ball-shaped pot and, being lowered,
is allowed TO fill by sinking in the oil
below. The oil thus raised is poured
into another pot OF the same shape, but
much larger. and twelve of these are
packed on each country cart

all the clatter OF comment, gossip and

Athletic sports, If INDUCED in judi
ciously, are TO be commended, but
when from the ruthanly practices that
TOO often degrade them into mere eX-
hibitions of brute force, there is dan
ger to life and limb, they cannot be
too severely denounced. An instance
in point was the game OF football in
New York a short time ago between
the clubs of Yale and Princeton col
leges in which several Of the players
received severe injuries from the bru-
tally OF their fellows. Grant that
these games are necessary for the
equal or coordinate development Of
mind and muscle, which is widely
received idea we have received from
the ancients, there can certainly be
no defense for carrying muscular de-
velopment TO such an extreme. Foot
ball, which is at present taking pre-
cedence OF all others in our colleges,
as il has long held the first place
among the college games in England,
is most vigorous exercise, calling
for all the energy and activity at the
command of the participants, but the
muscular effort should be directed by
discreet judgment, and not exercised
as mere brute force. There is need OF
better discipline in this particular
but it may not be secured until few
college boys have been killed by their
more ferocious fellows.
