OIL IN SOUTH PASADENA
Good Prices Paid for Land Which
Promises Well
A Large Quantity Of Machinery on Hand With
Which to Prosecute the Work.
What 1t Promises

SOUTH PASADENA. April 4.-As
usual our big neighbor to the north
of us is stealing our thunder 1t
springing up within its territory
while the fact is the only oil de-
velopment in sight is in the hills just
south of Lincoln Park station, which is
part of our city limits. 1t is true that
the company organized to furnish the
motive power-the cash-developed in
Pas3dena proper, but the more desirable
element in the business exists in South
Pasadena, perhaps; at least that is where
big prices have been paid for many acres
OF land, and where, yesterday, over 1000
pounds OF oil-pumping machinery were
put off the Santa Fe train and thence
hauled back upon the hill purchased
week ago of Mr.. Green. This morning
the superintendent of development, G. E.
Bacon, former Pennsylvania Oil worker,
domiclled in Mr.. Larkin's handsome
white cottage at the foot OF the hill,
climbed to the top and proceeded to
locate the first WELL
1t is understood this company. of which
G. H. Coffin is president, has purchased
some 500 acres in addition to the first two
tracts bought ten days ago, lying south
ward towards Alhambra.
The uice-like people of our town have
been considerably worried over this oil
business for fear our clean streets and
houses would soon become sUoty and
smeared with oleaginous deposits that
would depreciate the value of property
and render the beautiful suburb undesir-
able as a place OF residence. But, since
everything OF this offensive character will
be confined to the hlls-no oil ever being
found beneath the level valley soil they
are beginning to become reconciled to
their fate. Already there are good results
appearing from this new enterprise, the
first being several thousand dollars put
into circulation among US by the parties
who sold. and the second being the build
ing OF new residence by Mr.. Green, one
Of the sellers, thus giving employment to
a good many men. And with success in
bringing up oil viii come an increased
number OF homes for employees increased
patronage for the merchants, etc.

MISS KELSO AT PASADENA
She Gives an Interesting Lecture on
Books and Library
A Naughty Boy Who Paid for His
1ischief-Insurance Gslore-The
Rings of the Earth

PASADENA, April Awhile the men
of Pasadena. that own anything capable
OF being insured, from a cowshed to
business block on Colorado street, are dis
cussing the insurance question and spec
ulating on the prospects of still lower
rate, the ladies are listening to lectures,
generally very far removed from such
mcrcenary topics.
One of the most interesting of the
Lcnten course at la Solano, was given
this morning by Miss Tessa Kelso, libra
rian OF the public library at Los Angeles.
Miss Keso spoke of the tastes OF differ
ent classes OF readers; first of the boys,
who, aside from books of travel and ad
venture, give most OF their attention to
books treating of the great Inventions
and appliances in electricity and in SCI
ence generally; while the girls ike such
reading as the Pansy books until they be-
gin to approach the matrimonial age,
then their thoughts turn to COOK books
and treatises on domestic economy, decor
alton and furnishing of q house, that 1t
will perhaps be surprise to some to be
told that the novel tiends' are found
among the men, not the women. The
'new woman that we hear so much
about. seems to be giving her attention
to Other matters, while Miss kelso is
authority for the statement that the
greatest demand for novels comes from
the men. generally elderly men, however,
for the average business man does not
allow himself the time necessary to read
many long novels, though when he does
indulge, it is generally in such authors as
Besant, Weyman and Conan Doyle. His
reading is principally confined to maya
zine articles the newspapers claiming a
large share of his attention.
Mrs. Kelso says that by far the greater
demand for the best books is by
women rather than men, though elderly
ladies like novel that can be laid down
ut almost any time without losing tho
thread of the story when it is taken up
again.
The lecturer spoke of the we'll known
tact that good book often serves 70 make
a ready sale for numerous others not in
themselves worthy by the same author
After his reputation is once established by
the first good book, the others sell any
way even though inferior.
The Prince of India and Marcella were
instanced as being of this class. Certain
authors are read by nearly all classes. and
are seldom to be found upon the shelves
such as Louisa NJ. Alcott, Captain King
and Marion Crawford though the latter
is much more read in the East than in the
West.
Many amusing examples of new names
for time honored volumes were given.
among the rest "Sheep that Pass in the
Night" Red Letter" (Scarlet letter.,
End of Our Mind (Endymion), by Is
rael. being perhaps the most verdant.

THE RINGS OF THE EARTH
Professor Walls Lecture on His AnnuIar
Theory

PASADENA, April AT the Univer-

Vail gave the first of his lectures on scen-
ttic topics, the vestry OF the church be-
ing fairly we'll filled with an audience
which was interested enough in such sub
iecis TO give its attention for over an
hour while the Professor expounded the
theory, presenting a really remarkable
array of facts in support of the idea.
Mythology was brought into requisition,
as well as all the knowledge of geological
formations. ETC., to prove that the earth
once had Saturn-like rings of aqueous
vapors surrounding it, which have been
the cause OF the great geological changes,
