LowELL's WATER SUCCESS.

We have before us the twenty-first an
nual report of the Lowell (NIass.) Water
Board for 1893. Lowell has now deep
driven we'll water supply, company. as
in the case of Sacramento, being con-
tracted with to sink the wells, put in the
pumping plant and furnish the tubes and
pipes, at its own proper cost, sufficient to
furnish at least 100000 gallons of water
day.
The quality of the water found was ex-
cellent, and still continues to be, no de-
terioration by use following. In all,
Lowell has fifty-nine six-inch wells, and
there are evidences that the tapped water
supply is inexhaustible.
The board says 1.-THE success of the
undertaking means a benefaction of un-
told worth" So will be that of Sacra-
mento's new system if it is not knocked
out by blundering and stupid opposition
born of unwillingness to abandon water
that is reproach to the city.
The Lowell well pipes were at the out
set connected with the old pipe lines of
the city. the only change being the source
Of supply-just as it will be in Sacra-
mento if justice obtains. 1t is worthy of
note that at Lowell the driven wells are
located very much nearer to living
stream than is the case at Sacramento,
but the quality of the supply was not
affected by contiguity to flowing water on
the surface. Moreover, the Lowell wells
average but 54.6 feet in depth, while the
Sacramento wells are over 40 feet. The
water rose in the Lowell wells nine feet
above the bed of the flowing stream.
Last September the first water from the
new source was forced into the Lowell
mains, and the satisfaction of the public
is pronounced, for by it Lowell will not
use filtered water as heretofore, for do
mestic purposes; she gets a greater fire
pressure and decidedly better water, clear
and pure, and besides the city makes
decided saving.
The success of Lowell ought to GO far
towards convincing the doubters and OBJ
structionists in this city. There is as
good subterranean water in California as
in Massachusetts, and as near to this city
as to Lowell. There is no oreason-geolog-
icsl, sanitary, financial or other-why we
should not take and use the vast bodies of
subterranean water lying or flowing just
east of the city and abandon speedily the
river supply, which, though it has
''served US for forty-four years." is not at
the end of the forty-four years, now
reached. good enough for the people of
the present or the generation coming on.

The outrages in West Virginia con-
tinue, and are scarcely paralleled in the
history of things unreasonable. Here
we have men employed banded together
to prevent other men also employed from
working. To this end the gun and the
torch have been used, the officers OF the
law defed, and now the Governor has
been compelled to call out troops to pro-
tect men in their rights who have work
and wish to continue at their work. 1t is
to be seen whether this insane idea which
appears to possess some men. that no one
shall have employment except they are
branded with particular mark, is to
dominate. and the laws, equity and COM
mon regard for human rights GO down
before the rule of the mob. Governor
McCorkle, speaking of the situation in
The record-union., 1894-03-05
West Virginia, has we'll said:

Any man who wants to work shall have
full and absolute protection, no matter what
were the original causes of this trouble 1t
has ceased TO be a question between the
operators and the miners. 1t is the strikers
on one side and the law-loving people of the
state on the other. l have told the operators
they should take the responsibility on their
own hands. The State does not propose to
keep troops there indefinitely. We only de-
sire to lend military aid in enforcing the civil
law.
Labor is finding in such turbulence as
that in West Virginia its worst enemy,
its deadliest foe. 1t cannot afford to and
will not stand the champion of lawless-
ness and anarchy. Here and there, as in
West Virginia just now, some may seize
labor's livery to riot in, but the great
masses of the wage-earners of the land
will not endure the wrong of having such
sin paraded as the policy of honest labor.

A queer moth-catching plant. called
the Araugia Athens, liouri,hes in New
Zealand. Wherever the climate is
mild the plant is an exceedingly free
grower. 1t twines and climbs with
great Inheritance, and produces i'm.
mense numbers of white or pinkish
flowers, which have Il very agreeable
scent. These flowers att act innumer-
able moths. On a summer evening a
hedge of "Araugia" will be covered by
a rerfect cloud of moths, and in tho
morning there will not be a single
flower that does not imprison one or
two, and sonnet mes as many as four,
insects of varic us sizes and genera.
The action of the "Araugia" is purely
mechanical. The calyx of the flower
is rather deep. and the receptacle for
its sweet juices is placed at its base.
Attracted by the powerful scent and
the prospect of honey, the moth dives
down the calyX. AMI protrudes its pro-
boscis to reach the tempting food. But
before it can do so the prObOscis is
nipped between two strong, hard,
black pincers. which guard the pas
sage, and once nipped there is no es-
eape from the moth, which is held as
in wise by the extreme end OF the
proboscis, and dies ~miserably. The
rationale" OF the process Is not yet

A UNIQUE
How Lubricating Oil Is Obtained in Penn

The lrbricating oil fed of French
Creek, in Ncnango County, Pennsylva-
mia, is one of the most curious s. OTIS in
all olldom. The business had it, start
in the we'll of Blacksmith Evans, at
franklin, in the los. md since then
$l2,O0J., 90 worth of oil has been taken
from the few miles square Of territory
where this oil alone is found. ArCun1
its prescribed limits wells that vie d
largely of tho regu ar illuminate z oil
nave been drilled, but none of that
KIND OF oil has ev been found within
the lubricating OF limits. This small
but rich oil district extends into the
village of Franklin, the equity seat of
Ncnango County, ard there arc wells
IN many private yards in that place.
The production has fal en- off greatly,
thoJgh. and the price also. The
monthly yield now Is not more than
100 barrels, and the price i below II
q barrel. The oil is refined at Oil
City, and eiyhty different commercial
products result, lie ides the Gil itself.
Franklin en- oys Il monopoly CT the
heavy oil trade. but TIL business is
conducted on Il much more economical
basis than when Blacksmith Evans
was getting his 90 barrels a day from
hi pioneer we'll and rec living So a
barrel for it. There is little or no gas
III the lubricating oil rock, and every
well has to be pump d. AS many as
fifty wells are pumped by II engine.
This is accor.pli, shed by an ingenious
device cal.c l,he mping rig. Tho
wells to be ps-lp d are cOnrectel with
sucker rods screwed together, reach
ing out in all directions, frequently
more than a mile from the engine. In
the woods around | IA kiln these suck
er rods may be encountered. working
slowly back and forth with the regu-
lar motion of q piston. and no engine
within sight or hearing. The same
thing may be seen in the streets of
Franklin, wner the long arms reach
in to connect with the wells in the vii
lage boundaries.
The we'll. are not pumped regularly,
but by heads" Twice Il day there is
suific. ent accumulation Of oil in the
wells to be pumped cut, and then the
many-armed engines are started and
k pit going until all the oil of that
head is pumTel out. Sometimes a
new we'll will start Off with a vie d of
ten o. fifteen barrels q day. but this
phenome al yield does not last long.
Taking it all in all. the lubricating oil

Story OF Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Story of Oliver Wendell Holmes.
An English parer tells the following
story about DR.. Holmes: When he
was in England in 1906 he found him
self on one occasion at a crush" in
London among a great mass of people,
including several royal personage5.
He sat quietly in a corner, but pres
emily feeling u lit g amt. and Observ-
ing refres hments in the distance, he
turned to an elderly parsonage stand
ing near whom he supposed to be a
butlerOr something of that kind, and
asked for a harmless leverage. The
supposed servant brought this with
great alacrity, and remarked:
i am very glad to meet you, DIR.
Holmes"
The "Autocrat of the breakfast
Table" was a little taken aback, and
the stranger added:
Il am Prince Christian
Dear me-" said Holmes, alive at
once to the .oke, Il have not had much
acquaintance with Princes, and do you
know | took you for the waiter::"
AT this Prince Christian went off
into a burst OF merriment.
where is my wile?" he said. Il
must tell Der this. She Gdmires you
immensely"
Off went Prince Christian to fetch
the Princess, and the genial American
philosopher was soon the center of a
circle of royalty, greatly delighted by
the incident.

No Substitutes

For Royal Baking Powder The "Royal"
is shown by all tests, official scientific, and prac-
tcal stronger, purer, and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
mrers, and we'll known by all dealers.
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the Royal" it is because of
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the
same, give less value to the consumer.
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off
upon you any baking powder in place of the
"Royal." There is no substitute for the Royal"
