Restoration of OH Wells.

The general theroy concerning the
exhaustion of so many oil wells is that
the OIL in passing through the stone,
has clogged the porous stone with par
affine in such quantities that the fur
ther flow is stopped and the we'll
ceases to produce. In many cases, says
the Age of Steel, the supply in the
earth is not given out, but only ceases
to flow when the exit is stopped. The
stone through which the oil passes is
of very porous nature, and, as the
liquid is in crude state, the thick
matter becomes as dregs, settling in
the rock near the edges of the bottom
of the well. Torpedoes have been
used to shatter the stone at the bottom
of the well, thus breaking up the
clogged matter, but this method is ex-
pensive. new method consists in
lowering peculiarly constructed
electric heater into the we'll The ma
chine, which is eight feet long and re-
sembles an iron cartridge, is placed in
the bottom of the we'll and the current
regulated SO that the heater receives
just enough to produce an enormous
heat without melting the metal. BY
this peculiar construction of the carb-
on-packed chambers the intense heat
is radiated about into the rock in all
directions. Thus the paraffine and
other refuse are softened and melted
up so that they run, and when the we'll
is started fresh flow takes places,
just as strong as it did when the well
was lust sunk.

Eject of Fugue Music.

Sentiments Inspired by au Oid Church -
Effect of Fugue Music.
Any old and beautiful church give us
all that is most moving and noblest-
organism, beauty, absence of all things
momentary and worthless, exclusion
of grossness, of brute utility and mean
compromise, equality of all men be-
fore God; moreover, time, eternity. the
past and the great dead. All noble
churches give us this; how much more,
therefore, says the Contemporary Re-
view, St. Marks, which is noblest and
most venerable!
1t has, like no other building, been
handed over by man to nature; time
molding and tinting into life this struc-
ture already so absolutely organic, so
fit to live. For it's curves and vaultings,
its cupolas mutually supported, the
weight Of each carried by all; the very
color of the marbles, brown, blond, liv-
ing colors and the irregular symmetry,
flower-like, of their natural patterning,
are all seemingly organic and ready for
vitality. Time has added that, with the
polish and dimming alternately of the
marbles, the billowing of the pavement,
the slanting of the columns and last,
but not least, the furnishing of the gold
and the granulating of the mosaic into
an uneven surface; the gold seeming
to have become alive and in n way
vegetable, and to have faded and shrunk
like autumn leaves.
One Sunday morning they were sing
ing some fugue composition, by know
not whom. How well that music suit
ed st. Marks! The constant inter
change of vault and vault, cupola and
Icupola, column and column, handing
on their energies to one another; the
'springing up of new details gathered
at once into the great general balance
of lines and forces; all this seemed to
find its natural voice in that fugue, to
express, in that continuous revolution

About Schools.

Mr.. EDIToR-Our schools are now
open and teachers are busy teaching
our children-what? To commit the
printed page to memory and recite its
contents by rote, or to have some COM
prehension of the principles and ideas
there set forth? Better an entire term
spent in securing the mastery of an i'm
portant and useful fact than the cram
ming of five hundred facts into brain
only to lie disordered and confused in
a useless mass.
An oyerproduction of ignorance,
A sight too many schools,
Too many poor, too many rich,
And lots too many fools.
The writer was put through chem
istry at the rate of 20 pages a day
only think of it; and has about as much
comprehension of that useful and i'm
portant study as farmer has of navi-
cation. Recitation takes entirely too
much, the place of demonstration, and
the scholar having good memory has
the valedictory awarded him, while the
learner makes the greater success in
life
Reading, too, is not sufficiently
looked after. How few good readers
do you find! A man may not become a
a great orator. but prime essential of
public reading or speaking is that the
hearer shall hear and understand every
word delivered. No matter how learn
ed the composition, if it's delivery,
whether spoken or read, is stumbling,
halting, or in timid tones, loses it's
forte, and proves distressing to the
auditor.
Matthew Arnold, when in New York,
read in such subdned, muffied voice
that he could not be heard or under
stood forty feet from the platform.
The learned geographer, Peterman,
and the great explorer, Nordenskold,
both held their man anuscripts SO closely
To their eyes and read in such indis-
tinct tones that it was painful and ex-
asperating to listen to them.
On the other hand, Adelaide Nelson,
the actress, uttered every wordso clearly
and distinctly that her whisper could
be heard in great theatre, and her
distinct and clear enunciation proved
one of her greatest charms.
The art of reading and speaking we'll
is not difficult of requirement 1t is
mostly in oral practice and is so use
full in life that the greatest attention
should be paid to it in the early train
ing of our youth. X.

The Decline of Silver.

There is a simple and unanswerable
reason for the decline of silver. Take
the worlds product of silver and gold
since 1855. that is for 40 years. The
worlds product of gold Sin 1856 was
9, 10000 ounces, and the highest pro-
duction OF gold was in 1895, when the
world produced $500, 900 ounces. Thus
in 40 years the increase in the produc-
tion OF gold has been but $500, 900
ounces. The worlds product of silver
in 1856 was 81, ,400. 900 ounces. The
worlds silver product in 1895 was 1885,
100000 ounces, being an increase of
133, 900, 900 ounces, or over 500 per cent.
The world has not had use for it as
money it is not needed in the arts, and
it has therefore declined In price from
$1.29 an ounce to about so cents.
