MELTING OLD OIL WELLS.
How the Gushers of Former Days Are Re-
stored to Their Former Vigor.

How the Gushers of Former Days Are Re-
stored to Their Former Vigor.
T. w. Young, of Washington, has in
vented an electrical heater to be lowered
into an oil well. The idea is, says the
Mining and Scientific Press, to generate
electricity in large quantities SO that
the refuse matter which clogs the pores
of the oilstone will be melted and run
out, causing fresh upward flow Of
oil. The theory Is to the exhaustion of
SO many wells is that the oil, in passing
upward through the stone, has clogged
the porous stone with paraffin in such
quantities that the further flow is
stopped and the we'll ceases to produce.
Some think that it is because the sup
ply in the earth has given out, but the
generally accepted idea is that the oil is
still abundant and only ceases to flow
when the exit is stopped. it has been
common to use torpedoes to shatter the
stone at the bottom of the well, thus
breaking up tie clogged matter, but this
IS an expensive process. By the Young
method the machine, which is about
three feet long and resembles an iron
cartridge, is placed at the bottom of
the well and electricity used of suf1i-
Gent voltage to produce an enormous
heat without melting the metal. The
current goes down the wires, and, by
the peculiar construction of the carbon
packed chambers, the intense heat is
radiated into the ro9k in all directions,
the paraffin and other refuse is soft
ened and melted so that it runs, and
when the well is started a flesh flow
occurs just as strong as when it was
first sunk.

THE BOSTON WOMAN.
Valued Socially in Proportion to What
She Knows.


She Knows.
In Boston woman IS valued socially in
proportion to what she knows and can
do well-or, to put it correctly, what
she has the reputation of knowing and
doing well, says the Forum. If it could
lie n pleasant thing anywhere for a
woman to grow old, it would be so in.
Boston. In that city spinsters and
widows, if they are ambitious and even
tolerably healthy, never consider it too
late to find a vocation. They would
take up botany, china painting, sloyd
or political economy at GO with n re
freshing Independence of their age. I
have seen a pupil Of 70 at one of the
prominent schools of oratory, her fell
low students, mostly in the teens, treat
ing her with beautiful comradeship,
instead of staring at her with sup
pressed smiles as if she were a kind of
freak They recognized only her
plucky defiance of Father Times limi-
tations by larger measure of applause
when she recited her pieces than they
usually accorded to the younger mem
bers of the class. \ Boston man for
gives and may even forget a woman's
advancing years if she is bright and in
teresting AID can make him feel al
ways that he knows more than she does.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 5.-Governor
Scofield and state commissioner of
lands have decided to foreclose a
mortgage the state holds on the state
fair grounds near Milwaukee. The
governor has been investigating and
found that the State Agricultural SO
ciety owes the state $l64,44S and has
never paid any interest. This fact
has led the governor to decide on fore
closure. The Eau Claire guard arm,
Dry company will also have foreclos-
ure proceedings commenced against
it for a debt of $4,000 and interest,
none of which has been paid.

MILWAUKEE. Feb. 6 August Rasch
living at S65 Twenty-first street, cut
his brothers throat with razor this
morning about 3 o'clock. The wound
ed man, it was said, could probably
live only few hours.
August Rasch went home drunk in
the early hours of the morning and
created disturbance. William who
had been awakened by the noise, arose
and attempted to quiet his brother
when the latter drew a razor and
slashed him several times.

Geology.

The scientific beginnings of geology
are said to have been treated OF in
Chinese works long before the Chris
tan era. Some degree of geological in
formation is displayed in the book Of
Job, several passages of which have
been held to indicate an exact knosyI-
edge of the different strata of the earth.
The science is treated of by Aristotle.
Pliny, and Theophrastus. Geology did
science until the present century.

LOS ANGELES THBATER.-Fanny
Davenport will appear at the Los Ange-
les theater Ave nights and Saturday
matinee, commencing Tuesday. The
| first four nights and matinee of the en-
gagement will be devoted to Sardou's
latest and greatest play. "Gismonda.' y
which has created a furore wherever
presented, and is the most magnificent
production placed on the stage, either in
Europe or America. Miss Davenport is
the only artistic in America today who
is constantly striving to give the public
new material and big productions. and
this latest effort has stamped her as be-
ing the greatest producer of the age. In
speaking of "Gismonda." French and
American critics say: 1T is work of
high literary merit, as well as OF high
dramatic power" The play is in five
acts, all of which are laid in Athens in
1851, just before the fourth crusade,
when accommodation had more terror
for the people than death. Gismonda is
the duchess regent, ruling during the
minority of her son. Her court. like
that of Penelope, is filled with suitors for
her hand One of the foremost of these
is Zaccaria, a cousin of the late duke,
ana an unscrupulous villain. To rid
himself of the young duke he has one of
the attendants drop him into den of
tigers. The agonized mother who was
