In the salt wells on the upper Cumber-
land, about Burkesville, Kentucky, in 1929,
was opened the first of the great fountain
wells which have constituted the most
wonderful phenomena in the production of
oil. In Niless Register for 1929 will be
found short notice of this fountain well,
which was described as one of the wonders
of the world In boring for salt, at a depth
of about 300 feet, reservoir of gas and
oil of great dimensions was struck By
the elasticity of the gas the tools were
thrown out of the well, and a jet of oil was
produced which rose as high as the tops of
the trees This formed a rivulet, which
ran down TO the Cumberland river, where
the oil covered the surface for many miles
About forty miles below Burkesville the
film of oil was accidentally ignited, and for
some days the strange and interesting spec
tacle was there seen of burning river.
The inhabitants were naturally greatly
alarmed for that task of proverbial diff
Guilty, setting the river on fire, had been
there accomplished and supposing that the
conhagration which had attacked the river
would naturally spread over the more com
bustible shores, a general panic was pro
duced, and it was thought that the end of
the world had surely come. Fortunately,
after about three weeks, the flow of oil
stopped, aud no more damage was done
but no one regarded the loss of millions of
barrels of oil, since it was then entirely
valueless. Some years after an enterpris-
ing citizen pumped oil from this well, and
sold it over the country as an embrocation,

Dutch WindmiIIs.

You scarcely can stand anywhere in Hol-
land without seeing from one to twenty
windmills. Many of them are built in the
form of two-story tower, the second
story being smaller than the first. with a
balcony at its base from which it tapers
upward until the cap-like top is reached.
High up near the roof, the great axis iuts
from the wall aud to this are fastened two
prodigious arms formed somewhat like
ladders, bearing great sheets of canvas,
whose business it is to catch the mischief
maker and set him at work. These mills
stand like huge giants guarding the
country. Their bodies are generally of a
dark red; and their heads or roofs are
made to turn this way and that, according
to the direction of the wind. Their round
eye-window is always staring. Altogether
they seem to be keeping a vigilant watch
in every direction. Sometimes they stand
clustered together sometimes alone, like
silent sentinels; sometimes in long rows
like ranks of soldiers You see them rising
from the midst of factory buildings, by the
cottages, on the polders (the polders are
lakes pumped dry and turned into farms };
on the wharves: by the rivers; along
the canals. on the dykes; in the cities
everywhere, Holland wouldn't be Holland
without its windmills, any more than it

Few people appreciate how Washington
was slandered during his administration.
The papers then called him the stepfather
of his country and the American Caesar
They accused him of wanting to become a
king, and in 195 the New York Journal
had an article on Washington as a thief
This was written by the clerk of the House
of Representatives, and accused Washing
ton of having overdrawn his salary So, 100. -
80, 1t was John Randolph of Roanoke who
proposed the toast at dinner, George
Washington, may he be damned, and one
of the leading writers of the day even ac-
cused Washington of having committed
murder during the time that he was in
Braddock 5 expedition 1t was at this time
that the noted scene occurred in Washing
tons private office which Jefferson records
in his annals in which he got into tower
ing rage, and said He had never repent
ed but once of having slipped the moment
of resigning his office, and that was every
moment since, and he went on, "by -
he had rather be in his grave than in his
present situation. He would rather be on
his farm than the emperor of the world, and
yet they were charging him with wanting
to be a king" Even Congress went back
on him during his last day, and would not
pass complimentary resolutions to him, and
when he finally lefs the executive chair the
opposition papers were full of rejoicing
