ENORMOUS OIL esYseRs.
Russian Wells That Produce More Than
"a whole American Field.

Nholc AmetlCah tlclus
Statistics Of the oil business In Russia have
Just r,ached this country, aud American oil
men arr studying them with II great deal oi
anxiety, The output of many OF the Rus
sian wells is prodigious and far eclipscs any
thing ever heard OF in this country, There
is no better way to bring this fact to them
tuan by few comparisons Take n we'll at
Baku called thc"Wct Nurse" IL has been
yielding oil for twelve years, and in that
time has averaged $1,000 gallons day,
These figures are amazing to an American
oil producer They mean that the we'll has
produced l40, 600, 900 gallons of oil, or over
3,OOO,ON barrels These figures are startling
to the people OF this country when they turn
to the statistics Of their own industry and
find that this one we'll has produced three
times aS much rs Pitholo in year OF its
wonderful business, IL lacks less than 400,
OOO barrels OF producing as much aS the IA.
'NouS oil Creek district produced IN 1869, its
lost prolific year The Washington district,
among the richest ever discovered in Amer
ica, in 1887 its banner year, produced but
100000 barrels This is but 10000 barrels
moro than the output Of this ono we'll in
Russia The wonderful Thorn Creek pool, in
Butler county, produced in its best twelve
months hut 26S, 600 barrels more than this one
Russian gusher The "Mirgocr No. s." also
at Baku, has for six years produced 10, 900
gallons n day This is above 2,OO barrels,
and the production OF Coglcy Tarkill and
Red Valley, three prolific Nenango county
pools produced but l,tdi barrels in 1885, their
best year
The record is given of well driven by the
Nobel Brothers, called the "Droojba we'll. ~
1t cost $500 to drill The record OF the well
is thus stated.
This well Spouted for ll5 days, the yield
being S,IOO tons a day for (orty-thrce days,
800 tons for thirty and 100 tons for eleven
days The well was then plugged and the
supply kept under ground for further wants.
The total amount OF oil Spouted by this well,
according to the lowest estimate, was 1900
tons, or 5000, 900 gallons; according to the
highest estimate 800 OlO tons, or I25,OOO, 900
gallons
The spray from one of these geysers was
blown through the air for eight miles. Five
hundred wells have been sunk in the Baku
districts, 200 of which, irrespective OF the
enormous fountains ara now producing 500.

Matthew Arnold,s Street Courtesy.

Matthew Arnold was not quite in harmony
with our American ideas of ordinary behav-
ior, or what, at least, used to be our Ameri-
can ideas. His standard of courtesy was
European. The story was told by Boston
lady at the time of his first visit that, being
bound for fremont temple to hear Mr.. Ar
mold lecture, she got into street car that
passed down fremont street, and found the
seats all occupied. She happened to find her
self, as she stood grasping a strap exactly in
front of a rather tall foreign gentleman of
somewhat-to her-uncouth appearance. She
had stood there some little time when the
foreign gentleman leaned for ward and asked
her whether the car went past fremont tenn
pie. ut does. sir" she said "Ah, thanks"
said he. "And how shall know, please" he
went on, ''when we have reached fremont
templep' 81 am going there" the lady said,
"and | will let you know when we arrive"
"Ah, thanks" he said again, and settled back
into his seat.
The lady hung to her strap until the car
reached fremont temple She beckoned the
conductor to stop, and then said to the for
eign gentleman: "This is fremont temple"
"Ah thanks, +" said he They got off to-
SeCneT, anu Iue lduJ SOOn discovered, upon
the lecturers appearance at the desk, what
she had already surmised, that the gentleman
who had questioned her was Matthew
Arnold himself. She thought it little odd
that, having ventured on the inquiry, he
should not have returned the favor of her re-
sponse by offering her his seat; but the
thought probably never entered his head.
And the usage in this matter in Boston is as
similating SO completely to the European
standard that the lady, for that matter,
might fare just the same today with an out
and out Yankee lecturer. Boston Transcript.
