Truth Mt the Bottom OF a Well.

There are thousands of people who
have desired to see what the bottom Of an
oil-well looked like after hundred
quart torpedo had been exploded in it,
says the Philadelphia Times. But no
ordinary mortal could crawl down six
inch hole TO the depth of two thousand
feet if he wanted to, and no sane one
would want to If he could. So the curl
Gus oil-seeker has heret ofore been COM
PEELED to guess as to the effect of the tor
pedo shot.
An oil-country photographer has fur
nished the desired picture. The sue
cessful experiment was made at Warren
on Thursday. The instrument was let
down to the bottom of !, 700-foot vel
which had been subjected TO torpedo
explosion. When the camera touched
bottom bright flash lit up the cavity,
impressing a perfect picture on the mega
tive. cavity fourteen feet broad and
seven feet deep below the oil sand was
revealed. Into this cavity, enlarged by
the force of glycerine explosion, from
the ordinary six-inch drill hole the oil
sand was revealed. Into this cavity, en-
lsrged by the force of n glycerine explo-
sion from the ordinary six-inch lole, the
oil tiickled mi accumulated, ready 10 lie

secret as that of frost and ice, and IS re-
sistless. Professor Ansted describes
what he saw going on in the Ionian
Islands
A curious instance of the effect of veg
citation in lifting stones is seen in one of
the fragments of the Cyclopean wall of
Leu ada. An olive-tree has planted it,
self, or has been pl ,nted close 10 the
wall, and its roots and two OF the princi-
pal branches have pushed their way
through some little crevice, or through
the grouting between the stones.
In growing they have succeeded in dis
placing the gigantic stones of which the
wall was built, and one stone, about
three feet long tn rty inches wide and as
much deep, is altogether removed from
its original position in the WALL and, in
the course of years. has become built
into the tree, and raised n foot higher
than 1t was originally placed.
