A. Gigantic Geyser OF Gil.

The Kirkbridge No. 1 oil well, Of
which we give an illustration, Is To-.
Gated in Madison Township, Sandusky'
County, Ohio. The flow of oil COM
menced November 1s. The spectacle
is described as one Of the most mag
niAcent ever witnessed in that part Of
the country. First appeared col
umn of water rising eight or ten feet
in the air. This was followed by 9
black stream OF mud and sand, which
gradually changed to yellow. Then,
with deafening roar, the gas burst
forth in an immense volume, hiding
the derrick from view.
AS this cleared away solid golden
column foot in diameter shot from
the derrick floor 100 feet in the air,
there breaking into fragments and
falling in shower of yellow rain for
quarter of mile around. For a
period of five hours this great column
of oil shot upward. In very few
moments the field about the well was
covered several inches deep with
petroleum. Within three or four
hours the bitches for miles around
were overfowing with oil. Dams were
constructed in order that the product
might be estimated, but these were
overhowed and swept away as rapidly
as built. Some persons living in the
vicinity, alarmed at the spectacle,
packed their household goods and fled.
The Buckeyesspumping statienssa,nnite
distant, was compelled to e1tingulsh
it's fires on account of the gas, and all
other fires within the district were
put out.

nsspiration upon this subject is fur

inspiration upon this subject IS fur
4nishea by the accompanying double
column illustration. Here You have
80 moire antique silken skirt which
hangs smoothly from the waist, and
in case of being caught suddenly in
Einclement weather the wearer can fold
it gracefully about her and defy
storm, mud and even slush. The
beauty of the silk is that no matter
how much dust or rain falls on it the
surface remains SMOOTH glossy and
lntarnished. Should any chemical
seriously change the color for the in
slant q little Peruvian bark juice will
revive the old time beauty. For q
3Siacket fashion princess waist, with
3shirred belt and yoke and large
sleeves. This should be trimmed with
French braid. The over-jacket is of
plush. It can be of any dark rich
tint The wide Directoire collar gar
nitnre makes the plump woman as thin
as IA Bernhardt. A reader who enjoys
BY nature these slender proportions
should widen the collar at the waist
md shoulders. The dainty vest can
ssest be manufactured Of passemen-
4 ssies s.ie and: Of this trimming there are,
no less than twenty different kinds
this season. Jet passementerie, how
ever, is always rich, graceful and ele-
CANT in appearance.
The costume is surmounted by ajet
toque, simple in fashion but very
fetching and natty. The novel gloves
are ornamented with jet. This last
foible is the fancy of that clever Eng
lish dame, Mrs. Beerbohm Tree, who
has arrived in New York from Lon
don. 1t may be said in regard to this
costume that social leaders are deeply
interested in the creation of artistic
wear for inclement weather, and are
oil models of grace, culture and fash
ion in this particular field.
The hats this year form the chief
food of comic literature and CLUB gos-
sip, 80 it seems women ought to re-
form the fashion of the chapeau. If
they do not the men say they will be
neckless, for, whether it be in opera
seat, horse car, elevated road or as
sembly hall, man has to make his
neck into an elastic stretcher in order
to see or hear anything in front OF
him when women are present. We
show two specimen lats here which
are examples of the medium fashion
and are yet fashionable and fascinat-
ing. One is the "Toreador" of felt
velvet and feathers, to be worn at
evening functions; tie other is the
"The Nethersole, and is creation OF
wire frame, velvet, satin rosettes, dia-
mond buckles and feathers.
