There was quite slump in the oil
market yesterday, and the price OF
credit balances went down two cents
on all oils except the Limas and In
diana. The quotations are as follows:
Tiona 95: Pennsylvania So; GAINESVILLE
70; Corning 6S; North Lima %; South
Lima As; Indiana 45. The slump IN
the price of credit balances has had
the effect of knocking the ambition
out of the operators The hot weather
was bad enough, but when the price
of the commodity goes down 1t floors
them completely.
The Henry Oil Company, which is
drilling a well on the Farrell farm. ut
in the Elk Fork territory in Tyler coun-
", should reach the sand not later
than Sunday morning. This well is
located directly between the big wells
recently drilled in on the Asher and
Williams farms, and cannot help be-
ing a big producer. AS soon as this
we'll is drilled in, and should it be the
producer expected, this company has
made arrangements to put three more
wells down on the lease at once.
A test well of some Importance and
which is attracting not a little atten-
ton, is that Of a Sistersville company
which is drilling on the John Moore
farm near Proctor This well is To-
Gated up the creek from the town Of
Proctor, and has been getting along
nicely until the early part of the week,
when a fishing job delayed them a
couple of days. This company has a
large acreage in that section, and will
thoroughly develop their holdings be-
fore they give it up.
There is a great deal of work being
done in the new territory recently
opened up at Willow Island. When
the Preacher Oil Company put down
their first we'll in that section the gen.
eral opinion was that it was a foolish
venture, but when the first well came
in and the succeeding ones have all
been producers, the opinion has chang
ed. There are four good paying pro-
ducing sands at that point and in
every one of them big wells have been
drilled in. The first sand is the Cow
Run at about 500 feet, then comes the
MaXson sand at about 1,200 feet, fol-
lowing this comes the Big Injun at l.
500 feet, and the Berea Grit is found
about 500 feet below the Big Injun.
In each of these sands wells have been
gotten which produce oil in paying
quantities, and the talent is commence
ing to see that it is a good field. The
territory there is being leased up rapid
ly and nearly all of it has been taken
at good prices. Quite number Of
wells are being drilled.

FATE OF A BILLIARD BALL.

Did you ever know what becomes
of old billiard balls?" asked well
known expert, who keeps billiard
parlor on Chestnut street well, it's
rather interesting. Billiard balls, of
course you know. are made Of ivory
that is, the best of them are. They
don't last more than year or so with
constant use; after that they get
cracked or knocked out of shape bit.
The bali has to be turned over again
and after undergoing that process a
couple of times it gets to be too small
for a regulation game. Its days as a
billiard ball being over. it is now col
ored, and for several years more does
duty as pool ball. Naturally, in
course of time, 1t gets badly Clipped
or cracked. and is then usually sold
to an ivory worker. An ivory ball can
be cut up into buttons, electric bell
pushes, tips for conductors batons and
numerous other little things of the
kind. Even the tiniest chips aren't
wasted, for they can be used in fancy
inlaid work can assure you tina,
small firms OF ivory workers are only
too glad to purchase seasoned ma
terial secondhand. and. as a matter
Of fact, there is hardly a more salablt
article in this world than a wornout
billiard ball. "-Philadelphia Record.

ullMANITY'S DEBT TO SIR LISTER

Sir Joseph Lister acknowledges his
supreme indebtedness to Pasteur for
the discovery that putrefaction was
fermentation due to microbes, which
could not arise de novo from the de-
composable substance. With this as
a basis the great surgeon persisted, in
the face Of much opposition, in per-
fecting simple antiseptic dressing
that is. one which would destroy any
microbes that would fall on the
wound, and purify the surgeons hands
and instruments His success ac-
complished a veritable revolution in
surgery To select a single instance:
the great general hospital at Munich
hAd come to such q state Of unhealth
that fully eighty per cent of all wounds
were infected by the poisonous gan
creme A surgeon was sent to England
TO learn the new Listerism. and after
his return not a single case of hospital
gangrene appeared in the Munich hos
pital. Many allied dangers were totally
destroyed by this gospel OF cleanliness.
and in addition the suffering of pa
tents during necessary operations was
vastly relieved owing to the absence OF
ir fiammation. The most conservative
savants estimate that the Lister anti
sepsis has increased the field of re-
medal surgery twentyfold. and that
the mortality of hazardous operations
has been reduced from probably fifty
per cent to something like on" pei
C. mt With antiseptic treatment the
skull, even the viscem, can be safely
entered for operation, and it is literally
true that modern surgery can without
danger remove and part of the human
organism which Is not itself essential
to life-Scribner's Monthly.
