by linen or cotton fabrics. Hence we find
the very general Use of flannel garments by
athletes and BY members of cricket, boat
ing, bicycling and other sporting clubs; also
in those who are called upon to engage
in all kinds of vigorous physical exercises
likely to cause profuse perspiration, which
is simply an intensi6cation of the action of
the skin, which 10 necessarily going on, with
more or less activity, and ceasing only with

cause, fat and water accumulate in the tis-

lowered and weakened; and the flesh, which
should feel elastic, firm and hard, becomes

A Few of the Advantages of Wool.
Wool gently stimulates the skin" to
thst degree necessary to excite and main
tain its normal activity in secreting and
throwing off the waste matter, surplus lat
and water of the BODY. Compared to linen
and cotton, wool is q non-conductor of heat
and electricity. and therefore tends to pre-
serve to the aninal body its proper measure
of these vital energies. Again, wool, by
reason of its being of hollow fibre. allows
the moisture and the vapcrous exhalations
of The skin to permeate through it, and so
promotes the elimination of the effete mat
tiers and regulates the heat of the body.
The electrical quality of wool is an estab-
lished fact. It generates electricity, but
does not conduct n. Thus 1t is apparent
that wool is specially beneficial to those
whose bodies are deficient in heat and elec-
tricity.
The feeling is instructive that wooden
underclorhing is hot in warm weather, and
that if we wear wool in the winter to keep
US warm we must wear something different
in summer to keep us cool. The reply to
this is obvious in the practice we have of
wrapping ourselves in a blanket to keep us
warm, and at the same time wrapping n
piece of ice in the same blanket to keep US
cold. or in other words to exclude the heat.
There is no doubt in my mind that nature
intended that wool should be worn next to
our skin, T. M. BLEYER, NJ. D.

Spare Moments
The OK can be put to greater number of
uses than any other animal. 1t is utilized
in the following wayx:-Its flesh for food;
its blood for clarifying wines, sugar, etc,
manure, and in Sweden for food. Its horns
for lanterns, combs, handles for umbrellas,
drinking cups, etc. hoofs tor buttons, and
also made into glue; bones for margarine.
and by potters, cutters. glue makers, sugar
refners, and assayers and by farmers Tor man

used in Sheffield annually for knife-handles,
etc. Hides and skins are tanned into
leather, the offal for goldbeaters' skin. blad-
ders, sausage skins, tripe. etc. hair Cor plas
ter, felt roofing covering boilers and steam

sold to families and hotel keepers; the stom

The whale can be put to . great number
of uses when dead, as also the horse, the

THE OIL IN MISSOURI.
The Sand Is Too Fine and the Oil Too Thick
-. fc, Ile of Anr Material IIsa-

The Sand Is Too Fine and the Oil Too Thick
to Be of Any Material Use.
st. Louis Globe Democrat
The only oil produced in Missouri in 1889
and $780, concerning which it has been pos
sible to secure any information by the Geo.
logical Surrey. was in West Boone town
ship, Bates county, near the X ansas State
line, southeast from Paola, where the oil
produced in Kansas in 1888 was found. The
oil comes froEa. sand 220 feet, deep. fsfs
similar in every respect to the Kansas oil
1T is sold to local dealers for lubricating
purposes In 1889 20 barrels of oil, valued
at $40, were produced. The cost of operat-
ing the well in that year was $3.50, the total
capital $780, The territory consists of 600
acres, valued rs oil territory at S210, the
rigs, wells, engines, etc, being valued at
$500 and tank at $50. There was but one
producing we'll and one tank. The cost Of
drilling the well was but 81 80 foot.
An Interesting history is connected with
the drilling of some wells at Adrian, Bates
county, Mo. Oil was discovered here in
1889 at depth of 80 feet while prospecting
for coal. The oil sand was some 25 feet
thick, OVerlalu Win SOapstOne shhie 10 .
thickness OF eight feet The oil oozed from
a rock into the shaft and was bailed out.
The, shaft was in the creek bottom, and be-
ing flooded BY the first high water, the we'll
ceased to produce. Several drill holes were
then made. Three of these yielded about
six gallons in 10 hours but the holes were
not cased and we're soon drained out by
water In 1888 a derrick was erected,
proper oil tools procured and we'll sunk
over 500 feet ALI the oil secured in this
we'll was found at from SO to go feet in depth.
The well was pumped but once, and then
only Tor 10 hours, the product being 20
gallons of oil, with large quantity Of
water.
The oil is similar to that found at Paola
Tn report to the Geological Survey, R b .
Marshall. of Adrian, states that he has done
a great deal of prospecting for oil In that
section of the country, and finds q strip Of
territory some ten miles long and from one
to three miles wide underlaid with gas and
oil, but that the difficulty with the region
as a producing territory is that the sand 10

the strong desire to fool the public, that
will get people to look upon star boxers as q
lot Of real swindlers. Champions have no
right to make rules for themselves as Cor
bett is doing, and if he persists in his de-
termination not to fight for II months, but
tour the country, then the public can only
look upon him as spurious champion.
I do not believe that Mr.. Corbett wants
TO fight anybody. His wild talk about
Mitchell would collapse if the latter were
here, just as Mr.. Corbett's wild talk about
McCaffrey ended as soon rs the latter's for
felt was put up in The DISPATCH Office.
Mr.. Corbett may find one of these, days
public sentiment will get wearied of his
posing as ''moral young man" and a
champion, while he is only deceiving every
