Antiquity of Petrolc um, ,

Petroleum has been known since the
dawn of history. For a number of years
it was known to the Indians and early
settlers as Seneca oil. and used as medi-
cine, chiefly as a liniment.
The first systematic boring for petro-
leun. began about 1857 to 1850, and in a
few years the product increased enor-
mously. At present the yearly output
is between 10000, 900 and 10000, 900 of
barrels, and new fields are constantly
being opened. Russia has q great oil
field in Transcaucasia, near Ragu.-
Golden Days.

it first became public. They rewrote

Tie Wood of the Cross.

The cross of Christ was discovered in
A. d. 326 by the Empress Helena and
Macarius, patriarch of Jcrusalem-an
event which conyulsed Christendom,
and which is still commemorated by the
Christian church on May 8, the feast Of
"The Invention of the Cross" as it is
called i'll the calendar of our "Book of
Common Prayer"
The Holy Rood remained entire until
A. D. 63G, when, to provide against the
possible calamity of it's total destruction
by the intidels, it was decided to divide it
into nineteen portions. This was done,
and the parts were distributed in the fol-
lowing proportions:
Constantinople. .......8 Jerusalem
Cyprus ls................2 Georgia. ...............2
Antioch ...............8 Alexandria ............l
Crete. Ascalon. ..............l
Rohault de Fleury calculates that the
total volume of the wood of the cross
was somewhere about 17e, 100000 cubic
millimeters. He has made careful list
of all the relics of the true cross known
to exist in Christendom at the present
day, with their measurements, and finds
the volume to be about 3,942, 900 cubic
millimeters, SO that, as might have been
expected, the greater part of the holy
rood has disappeared. He also had the
opportunity of making microscopical
examination of different relics, and
comes to the conclusion that the wood
was either pine or something closely al
lied to it. 80
OF places where relics of the holy cross
have accumulated, Mount Athos stands
pre-eminent, with total volume of S7S,-
800 cubic millimeters; then Rome, with
1881; Brussels, $4,000; Venice, 445,-
$50; Ghent, 436,450; Paris, with 237,731.
Hardly anything is left in England, and

when it was made to equal that of the

Every lover of pie-and almost every
person, either secretly or openly, does
love pie-will be interested in the fateful
fact that ''pie timber" under which gen
eric term is comprehended dried apples,
peaches, plums, squash, pumpkins, etc,
is scarce. Evaporated apples have gone
up 25 or 80 per cent. since the beginning
of the year. Canned apples, pie peaches,
and the product of the golden skinned
pumpkin and the sober squash are all
higher, and have an upward tendency.
Tho raw material for an important and
adult American industry may not he in
the bony clutch of famine, but it is in q
condition which every thoughtful lover
of pie must regard with serious concern.

A sLAUsHTER HOUSE LIoErsE

Asked for by 8. Il. M ervvin of the Come
mIttee ON Licenses-OsherB Business.
There was large delegation of citizens
from the vicinity of East street near Grand
avenue before the committee on licenses last
night to speak in relation to the petition of
General s. E. Merwin for q license to estab-
fish slaughter house on New street near
East street. General Merwin himself appear
ed in favor of his petition. He said that he
was not directly interested in the matter
from business point of view as he had re-
tired from business. He wanted license to
slaughter hogs in a new building to be built
on New street. He said the reason for doing
this was that the high freight rates gave but
little or no profit in the business. The general
stated that he did not wish to begin
this if 1t would be of any annoyance or dam
age to anyone in the vicinity and he intended
it to be Objectionable to no one. He said he
had been urged to 60 on with the building
without procuring license, but he consider
ed the most manly and honorable thing was
to first ask for license. The s. e. Merwin
company has done no Strengthening in Ave
years. The new building will be so connect-
ed with sewerage and the river that he con-
sidered nothing disagreeable could result.
Among those who appeared were Morgan
mOOuoy, chmc6 0In01oy 3OOAu Aokuu, nAiCuool
Began, Michael Boucher, Michael Farrell,
Thomas Carroll and John Doyle. Most Of
these had no objection to the granting of the
license provided they were assured that no
annoyance should result from the conduct of
the business. General Merwin stated that if
the board of health considered his establish
ment at any time q nuisance he would abol-
ish it.
Thee were four members of the commits
tee present, Aldermen Gesner and Kelly and
Councilmen Dooly and Nichols. It was
found that section "a of the city ordinances,
page 70, states that no slaughter house of
any kind shall be established in the city linz
its without a special license from the COM
mon council. It was decided to refer the
matter to the corporation counsel for his
opinion.
The application of John Fitzgerald for q
hack license was recommended to be referred
to>the chief of police. 1t was recommended

withdraw. It was recommended to grant a
license to John Kurtzenacker to cart night
soil.
