TO EXPLORE THE EARTE's SURFACE.
A Well to Be Sunk as Far as Human Skill
Can Penetrate.

WHEELING, w. Va, April 24.-An
eight inch we'll which is being sunk
near this city by the Wheeling Improve
ment Company in a search for oil or
gas has reached, after several months
Of boring, depth Of 400 feet. Both
oil and gas have been struck through
out in paying quantities. 1t has gone
through several thick veins of coal and
has traversed layers Of gold quartz,
iron and numerous other minerals.
Professor J. C. White, Stat; Geolo-
gist, who has watched the drilling
closely. has succeeded in getting the
government interested in it. The re-
suit is that after the we'll has teen
sunk to the depth Of one mile the gov
ernment will take up the work, and
under the direction Of two expert OIL
GERS of the Geological Survey drill into
the earth as far as human skill can
penetrate.
The temperature and magnetic c)h-
ditions will be observed as far as posi-
bic, and by means Of an instrument
constructed for the purpose complete
record of the drilling and all discover
les made will be kept. This record
will be placed in the Geological Sar-
v.v's exhibit at the Worlds Fair and
afterwards preserved at Washington.
Professor White and the government
officers say this Will be one Of the most
novel and important exhibits at the
fair and will attract the attention OF
the scientists of the world.

Burned-Losses AcSreGating
Quarter of a Mil icn.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 29,-A
fire, which started at , O'Clock this
morning in Campbell & Co.'S furniture
factory on King street, ragged four hours
and destroyed property covering twenty
acres Of ground and valued at $3.50, 900.
Of which there is Z total insurance of

900; G. G. Lilly's new unoccupied

000; other small buildings, $4,000. The
newly erected Mountain City Touring
mill, valued at 5000 600 was barely
saved.
During the fire several carloads of
fireworks and other combustibles ex-
ploded, terrifying the spectators and
those working to stay the fa:les. The
fire department has only three engines
and could do but little effective work,
especially as a second fire occurred
while the first one was still in progress.
The second blaze destroyed few cot
tages on East Montgomery street, with
loss of $4,000. The citizens organ
lied volunteer brigades and helped the
firemen battle with the flames. In
cluded in the property destroyed was
quantity of lumber near the depot and
part of the contents of the Morrison
Lumber Company's yard.

Why Some Marriages Are Failures.
1From the Someryille Journal.

from the Somerville Journal.
One reason why marriage is so often
failure is that the average man falls
in love with a woman because she has
two or three of the qualities which be
attributes to the Ideal woman, and
never gets over blaming her afterward
because she doesn't have the rest. Wo-
men don't make any such mistake.
They don't expect to find in the aver
age man any of the qualities possessed
bv their ideal, and they are very sell
dom disappointed.

MORNING APPEAL
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER IL
is He A WIZARD.

This is little late in the century
Tor the appearance OF a boni fide
wizard, but if one is to be found
the boundless West is the place be
would naturally err rm his optr-
atoms. Consequently when Frank
Melbourne engaged in the bust
ness of producing rain by super
natural agency at 800 the half
inch he showed sense of the fit
ness of things by selecting Chey-
enne as his theater of action.
Government agents have been
exploding giant powder among
the clouds, and dynamite along
the ground in Texas for the pur-
pose of shaking reluctant showers
out OF the clouds. Reports of the
success of their experiment are
mixed as facts are likely to be in
travelling from West to East; but
their experiments aroused consid-
cradle interest and some hope in
the hearts of those who are wag-
ing war with the elements in the
parched districts.
None of tn m have succeeded
as Melbourne has. He just turns
himself loose and inside OF a stip-
ulated time has a guam ity of rain
falling.
Here in Nevada Melbourne
could do a rattling good business
and would have little trouble in
finding capital to back him.
When the river mills shut down
for want of water he might get a
good shower in CONDITION at the
head Of the river to fall at inter-
walls as often as required. When
rain was produced in Cheyenne the
SKY was cloudless and the weather
expert in the signal station de
clared that not a drop or rain was
anywhere in sight. The wizard
threw a shawl over the window of
the building he had engaged and
went to work. He knocked off for
luncheon without having produced
any effect and the groups which
had collected on the sidewalks,
making bets on the result, began
to doubt his power. But at > 80
P. NJ. clouds began to collect in the
northeast and, after a little pre-
liminary thunder and lightning,
about a tenth of an inch of rain
was precipitated; but the wizard
sent out message'that he would
cause a hard shower presently to
fall and he was as good as his
wo-d. About 4 so the rain began
again and this time the contract
half-lnch was provided. Suisse
quent inquiries showed that the
storm had covered an area OF
about forty square miles with
Cheyenne as the center and that il |
was brought on by the necroman-
tic Melbourne nobody in Cheyenne !
doubts. The Sun of that city |
said on the following day.
Melbourne filed his contract to |
the letter. He not only delivered |
the goods, but gave full measure. |
He was to drop one half inch
OF water over 100000 acres OF |
land. 1t was the heaviest rain OF |
the season and extended in all di- |
rections from Cheyenne distance
OF over twenty miles. It is n dis
covery of so much Importance to |
the arid region that no trouble or |
expense should be spared to dem
onstrate the practicabil,ty of Mel
bourne's' methods. If it proves a |
certainty the is no estimating it's
value.

Weak-Oats Quiet-Provisions Strong.
CHICAGO-Wheat surprised the trade
this morning by opening I5@2c higher than
it closed Saturday, showing much strength
for time and quickly selling at 211<c ad-
vance. The strength was due TO Liverpool
cables, which quoted that market Id higher
on spot and I'd higher on futures; consols
were quoted about 216c lower, and this,
taken in connection with the reported desti-
tuition in parts of Germany and an estimate
by the american A5TicUJtI1iSt that the worlds
supply of wheat and rye whould not be less
than 20O,O 900 bushels short, and might
reach 400 1000 0OO, even granting an export
surplus of 225, 600 600 bushels for the United
States and Canada, made traders nervous
and bullishly inclined.
December started at 81 OOsS91 OoE, against
9Slz lz699S1Sc at the close on Saturday, and
drop 10 81 0O1s. but another buying squirt
carried it TO 81 00H. There was slight re-
cession toward noon, but firmness was the
prevailing feeling during the last hour, with
fluctuations between 81 0O1f and 81 0Osz, with
the close at 81 00sS.
Corn was fairly active and strong early, in
sympathy with the strength in wheat, but
there was vigorous selling on the advance,
Al oHui VOOO NOdbbOi
and the belief that the crop is now virtually
out OF peril was a weak factor. October sold
early from 5011c to 5lzc, against 5essc at the
close on Saturday. Then it began to break
reacted to 5015c, and in the afternoon rallied
TO 5lssc; broke to 5056c, but rallied and closed
at 5l3sc.
Oats were quiet and steady to weak, clos
ing within &c of the bottom, with
fluctuations confined 10 range Of hQ3sc.
Provisions were inclined to be strong early
on the recession of GIG in the price Of British
consols, as indicating some nervousness
over the European situation and the ad-
vance in the price of cereals. Later the
market fiuctuated frequently in sympathy
with corn. The fluctuations were narrow,
however, those in pork being confined to
range OF 716@l0c, with the close at the
top and at an advance of l214020c over
Saturdays close. Lard closed at from 215c
lower TO DC higher. Ribs are 214@5c up.

nc the second call: At the third 40 shares OF
Luster changed hands at l29S and ut 12l.
Bidding was slow and offers were slower
There were some good features and no bad
zones. All of the Westinghouse interests
were strong. Electric finished at good
fraction better than the opening on news
of an expected bull movement in Boston.
Pittsbnrg Traction advanced to 40 at the
first call, against 3S on Saturday, but fell
back a point and closed steady. The busi-
ness OF the road is said to be improving, and
earnings are consequently making a good
showing. Central and Pleasant Valley were
steady.
Duquesne Traction bonds were offered at
g. the first public quotation since they were
offered at SIS about ten days ago.
The sale of Chambers-McKee Glass Com
pany stock, 500 shares, was indefinitely post
poned. This, in connection with what is
known about the meeting to-day, is accepted
as a sign that an amicabfe settlement will be
reached.
