The Beginning Of y Millionaire's Wealth.
Prom the Baltimore American.
The richest man in West Virginia is ex-sena-
tor johnson N. Camden. His wealth is esti-
mated at between eight and ten millions of
dollars. Few know anything about the nucleus
around which grew Mr.. Camden's vast posses
sions and how he obtained it.
1t was the year 1860, when oil was first dis
covered in West Virginia. Mr.. Camden had a
few acres of land in the Burning Springs dis
trict. about thirty miles north of Parkersburg,
on tho Little Kanawha river. In this land Mr..
Camden bored two wells. They were the Sec
ond and third wells bored for OIL only one hav-
ing been sunk "a few weeks previous to them and
that one was only partially successful, NO far rs
striking oil was concerned, and wholly so as re-
CARDS profit. for its owner didn't know what in
the world to do with it. The question of saw
ing the oil and storing it, instead of letting it
ooze out and run off into the rivulets and
streams, became one of grave concern.
However, necessity was the mother of in
vention then as now, and Senator Camden de-
not 60 to waste. His exchequer was mighty
slim at the time, but, with tho assistance of
some good friends, he bought a big old fiat
boat and moored it to q tree on the river bank.
From his two wells he troughed the oil into
the boat.
In the meantime Mr.. Camden had made q
contract With Gen. Sam Carnes Of Boston, who
was the pioneer oil refiner. to deliver 1000
barrels at Parkersburs in bulk at tho rate of
20 eents . gallon The capacity Of Mr.. Cam
denis Sat boat was just about that amount, and
ethe prospect of Sz0.000-all his own-was to
him at that time something prodigious
When his boat was filed he set out for Par.
kersburg, thirty miles away, with his precious
cargo. He driftod with the stream, and, after
many hardships. reached his destination. Gen.
Carnes was there with his empty barrels
They transferred the oil from the hatboat to
the barrels with scoops and pals. and when the
work was finished Mr.. Camden received S2O,-
600 in cold cash.

LORE ABOUT HORNS.
Facts About the Appendages Which Some
Animals Garry on Their Heads.

Facts About the Appeadages which Some
Animals Garry on Their Heads.
serTHERE ARE A GOOD MANY QUEER
Il things to be told about horns" said
Osteologist Lucas to SrAR writer. Take the
horn OF the rhinoceros, for example. 1t is
nothing more than q protuberance composed
of agglutinated hair. You cutit in two. and. ex-
aiming its structure under the microscope,
you find that it is made up entirely of little
tubes resembling hair tubes or course these
tubes are not themselves hairs, but the struc-
ture is the same. The horns of African rhinoc-
eros sometimes grow to the length of four
feet From them the Dutch Beers make ram
rods and other articles. You may remember
that the handle of the ak used by Umslopogsas
IN Allan Quatermain' was a rhinoceros horn.
In old times rhinoceros horns were employed
for drinking cups by royal personases the
notion being that poison put into them would
show itself by bubbling. There may have been
some truth in the idea. inasmuch as many of
the ancient poisons were acids and they would
decompose the horny material very quickly.
HoRNLEss RHINoCERos.
Several species of rhinoceroses, now extinct
aud only found in fossil state, used to exist
which had no horns at all. The NAME mean-
ing as it does horned nose is rather mis-
noiner IN their case. Several kinds OF rhinoc-
eros in Africa have two horns, one behind the
other, but the extinct rhinoceros, known as the
dyceratherium had pair Of horns on Its nose
si''e by side. Many of tie giant reptiles Of long
ago had enormous horns. The great lizard
known as the triceratops had big horn over
eacn eye and Il little one on its nose. The di-
noceras and the tinoceras. gigantic mammals
OF the tertiary epoch, had three pairs of prom
inences on their heads which are be-
heved to have supported horns. However the
maternal OF which horn is composed quickly de-
Gays, being largely composed of gelatine and
other animal matter. SO that these uppendages
are apt to be found absent when the fossil
bones Of beasts which had them are found.
HORNED FISHES.
Some fishes have horns which are actually
outgrowths of bono on their heads. The box
fish, which inhabits the warm waters Of the
globes little fellow six or eight inches long
has hosas an inch in length. Birds have horns
also sometimes The horned screainer (Which
Is related to the duck) has a single horn q
Iached TO ats skull, springing from cartiiagi-
nous oaae and curving upward. 1t is really O
modifed feather, though q true horn.
Plenty OF reptiles have horns Lizards are
very commonly provided with them. There
are chanieleons with three horns like the
ancient triceratops. Horned toads have a sort
OF crest OF four horns on the back Of their
heads. There is a small African snake which
mas two horns No horned tortoises now exist,
but fossil specimen was found a while ago on
Lord Howe's Island in the southern Pacific
which had four horns on its crest and re-
swapping turtle. Doubtless you have often heard
OF human beings with horns Such APPENDICES
In their case are abnormal developments Of
bone"
