4 GrGAYrIc GEYSER OF OIL.
Flowed Fourteen and Half Million Gal-
 Ions in Twenty -four Hours


 IFrom the Chicago Times.l
 The Kirkbridge No. 1 oil well, of which we give an illustration, is locat- ed in Madison township, Sandusky county, Ohio. The flow of oil commence ed November IS. The spectacle is des- criibed as one of the most magnificent ever witnessed in that part of the coun- try. First appeared column of water rising eight or ten feet in the air. This was followed by black stream of mud and sand which gradually changed to yellow. Then, with deafening roar, the gas burst forth in an immense vol ume, hiding the derrick from view.
 As this cleared away a solid golden column foot in diameter shot from the derrick floor 100 feet in the air, there breaking into fragments and falling In a shower of yellow rain for quarter of a mile around. For a period of five hours this great column shot upward. In few moments the field about the well was covered several inches deep with petroleum. Within three or four hours the ditches for miles around were overfowing with oil. Dams were con structed in order that the product might be estimated, but these were overflowed and swept away as rapidly as built. Some persons living in the vicinity, alarmed at the spectacle, packed their household goods and fled. The Buckeye pumping station, mile distant, was compelled to extinguish it's fires on ac-

 The democrats of this state who are merchants can console themselves with the idea that this decision supports, in a measure, the noble old Democratic doctrine of free trade. But they, as well as their Republican brethren, really want more rather than less protection against the transient traders.

 Beside this there is very attractive jacket, made glove fitting with strapped seams and piped edges. A fancy vest of brown cloth shows in front, and the medici collar is cut in one with the fronts. Fancy buttons and fur edging trim the front and wrists. the basque is pleated in the back and the whole is lined with brown satin.
 Six months ago 1t was in buckles that rich women displayed their reckless ness of expenditure, but now the imita- tions of these jeweled fastenings are so close that the costly ones have little show. So now the women who can af- ford it have broken out into a barbaric frenzy for ofnamentation. Even in a high necked hack silk gown, they wear as many diamond stars as they can muster. One at each side of the collar to hold the inevitable side rosettes is in lovely taste, and if you have another little star of diamonds or other jewels clash it right under the chin. Still an other can go on the front of the gown under the bust line and you can find place for one or two at the belt. Nc jewel is too big, too costly or too con spicuous to be worn. Women whc want to initiate this fad will have tc rob the chandelier of it's prisms and yank off the glass door knobs.

The court holds that the law against tran sient traders is not a regulation of a business dangerous to the public, and does not come within the special prfn- ciples applicable to such regulations. The defendant is punished for selling boots and shoes in the conduct of a temporary and transient business. There is nothing in the nature of such business more dangerous to the public when called temporary" than if called

The court holds that the legislature has full power to regu- late such a business, but its regula- tions must be governed by very differ ent principles from those which may govern the regulations of a business in it's nature dangerous to the public, and it finds no escape from the conclusions that the legal effect of the act is to

The people of Idaho have learned something. Two years ago they enacted a law that all money obligations should thereafter be payable in their State in either metal, notwithstanding any con- trary specifications in the contract. Now the legislature has repealed it, the experience of the intervening time having been that it did not help silver and tended to drive capital out of the State.

Lime for Poultry,

The Country Gentleman condemns
the advice which has been given by
some writer's laying claim to knowiedg,
on the subject, to soak grain in lime
before feeding 1t TO poultry. in order
to furnish them with the mineral con-
stituents that they need. The best
form In which to give chickens the
lime they need Is In the form of bone
ash. The waste bones of the household
may be burned in the kitchen stove
and then placed in an open vessel,
where the fowl will have access to It.
In this way flock Of fifty hens will
consume all waste of good-sized fam
lily. For large focks a contract should
be made with local butcher. In this
form the lime is digestible md the
phosphoric acid In the bones will also
be valuable. 1t Is very certain that no
indigestible matter given to hen can
help her in any way to make the shells
for her eggs, oil the material of which,
must necessarily pass through the
blood before 1t can reach the ovary.
1t is q common experience among
poultrymen that ripe and hemp seed
are useful to the laying hens and in
crease the number Of eggs. Now both
these seeds are rich In lime, the ash of
the former having IA per cent Of 1t and
that Of the Inter u per cent. And in
this regard 1t might be mentioned that
the seed Of the esparcet, which ID
eaten by fowls with great avidity, has
more than third Of its ash lime. Thus
the culture Of this plant, one Of the
laguminoseae. may be recommended
MS very useful to poultry keepers. II
is a common crop on the small French
farms. under its common name, sau.
foin. and the fowls eat the whole pant
which, like all its family (the clover,
has a great quantity Of lime In It
Glover itself is thus useful to fowls al
q green crop on this account. This ID
the only way In which lime can be
given to fowls BEAUTIFULLY.

Tic BOY King Of spain.

There are many points in the court
etiquette Of Spain that make 1t hard
to be a boy king and harder still to be
the boy kings loving mother. As he
was born king little Alfonso had to
have household of his own, with his
own suite Of rooms. He cannot even
dine ut the same table with his mo her,
nor can she perform for him those ten
der little offices that mothers delight
in and children find so comforting.
The little king has also to go through
with tedious state receptions, which
weary him sadly and sometimes try
his childish patience beyond endurance.

baby sat upon his nurses knee all

could be. A bishop had been holding

MINING DIAMONDS.

a System By Which the smnllest
r, Gems Are Secured.
The diamond Is one Of the things
that the public Is never tired Of hear
Ing about. ana Ia ever anxious to sec.
discuss, and, above all, to possess; but
few have any idea Of the tedious and
lnborious process by which the precious
gem Is mined and brought to the light
Of day. All the entrances to the mines
are rightly guarded, and only the writ
ten permit Of the manager will enable
the visitor to descend the huge shaft
which pierces the working level, say,
1000 feet below. In the tunnels of the
mine. which are about seven feet high,
the miners are hard ut work drilling
holes in the adamant ground with q
large crowbar. which they use with
both hands. After making six holes
each, which may Take three hours. or
six, or longer, according to the hard
ness of the stratum they arc working
in, they are allowed to retire to their
homes in the compound, and rest for
the remainder Of the day. Dynamite
cartridges are placed in the drilled
holes and exploded, and the blue
ground which has been dislodged ia
shoveled into trucks. each Of which
holds ton, run along the level and
taken uD the shaft. It Is carried in
large Jumps as hard rs granite to "thc
floors" where 1t is spread out and left
fronn three to six months to be pulver-
lied by the action of the sun, air and
rain, steam harrow being run over it
from time to time to assist the process
Of disintegration. In due time II Is
taken to the washing machine. the
work of which is to sift out MI the
light deposit, called "tailings," In
which no diamonds are found, and to
clean the ground" which Is then
placed in hopper and carried by the
revolving buckets to the top Of un
elevator, whence 1t is dropped into
cylindrical pan. AS the pan is rotated
water is thrown OH Its contents and
the mass is Clipped and sliced by iron
knives, the light mud OVERLOOKING the
celter, and the heavy deposit contain
ing the diamonds passing into II pulls
ating receiver, from which 1t is graded
into three different sized sleeves. Water
is then pumped through the bottom,
and the light deposit Is forced over the
top, the heavier substance falling
through the sieves. 1t Is then passed
by means of valves into tubs, and the
important work Of searching for the
diamond commences. -Four times do
the searchers examine every particle
Of the material. and so carefully and
thoredghlyf isr the work done that 1t is
said that 10 half carat diamond might
be. mixed with q couple Of hundred
