NATURE TOLLS FOR HIM.
Good Luck Of an OIL King with
Modest Ambition.
How Michael GFRth Struck = fortune
lie Simply watches His Well
and Lets the Market Take
Care Of Itself.

From Bradford, Pa, James Tucker
man writes to the Louisville Courier
Journal that in these days Of Klondike
finds, when the earth is giving up treas
ure for the asking, and Siberia, Texas
and Alaska are all calling out for people
TO come and be millionaires, one stops to
wonder where 1t will all end and to ask
If nature, after all, does not intend TO
make millionaires of her children.
But If anyone doubts seriously that
nature does not oftentimes encourage
lazlness In her children he should make
little journey into the oil fields OF
Bradford, Pa. There is q man down
there whom nature in her most gra-
cious mood simply has compelled to be
lazy. All he does day in and day out the
year round is to sit upon the bank Of
one Of her little creeks and watch ma
ture slave for him. If he were TO raise
his finger he might undo all the skillful
plotting that has been done by her in
his behalf.
Long ago this favored child-he's an
Irishman by birth and his name is
Michael Grath,-discovered the folly of
toiling for his living. Before the dis
covery he owned little tract Of land
that was as sterile and barren as a
strip Of the Jersey coast, He. titled and
plowed until he was wrinkled and bent,
and all he got was barely enough to
keep body and soul together. But one
day he found that that barren little
strip of land was oozing with oil. He
said nothing about 1t, but he redoubled
his efforts, and after awhile he had
enough money saved to put down a

the beginning of the natural gas crazs
in 1888, and began buying gas-produc-
ing property. He was careful and
shrewd and soon amassed another lor-
tune. When the gas wells began TO
show signs of "petering out" Mr.. Gutfy
turned his attention to mining in the
west. In this business he was also sue
cessful. He has mining properties in
Montana worth $1,000,000, He is at
present reputed to be worth $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Guffy has never held any office and
says he does not want any. His desire
is to be recognized in the councils of
the party, and as he is constant and
liberal contributor, he is always recog-
nized. In 1876 he was u candidate for
congress from the old Twenty-ffth dis
trict against Judge Harry White, but
was defeated. Mr.. Guffy was delegate
to the Chicago convention, and was one
of the first boilers. What he said when
he arrived home was picturesque. Aft
err Harrity had declared he would not
support Bryan Mr.. Guffy changed his
mind about the ticket andplatform and
swallowed them both. He made a big
contribution to the national campaign
fund and proceeded to "go after" Mr..
Harrity. Mr.. Guffy is married, has q
family and lives in mansion at the
corner of South Highland and Fifth
avenues, in the east end residence Sec
ton of the city.

and was selected for that place by Mr..
Platt when Col. Fellows died. In 1894
Mr.. Olcott became the republican lead
err In the board of aldermen, and his
intense republicanism and his inor'
dinate desire TO be doing something at
tracted the attention Of Mr.. Platt.
While an alderman he was chairman OF
the finance committee and ex-ofiicio
chairman of the sinking fund. When
Mr.. Olcott took charge of the districtat-
torney's Office the democrats fed from
him as from q pestilence. The Tam
many men were replaced by men whom
Platt named. They represented every
political element. Mr.. Olcott is by no
means a machine man. He has often re-
belled, and carried his point, at the
methods OF the machine, and it is said
that be is in some sympathy with the
reform movement. That accounts, as
much as anything else, for his selection.
He is graduate of New York college
and Columbia law school, and is a ma
tive New Yorker.

Mrs. Julia Clark, ~ years old, OF Dali

men and women who hocked TO Califor-
MIA In 1s49 when gold was discovered
in that country. With her husband, Jo-
seph Clark, who died six years ago, she
lived for IA years in the various mining
camps on the "sunset slope" In the
search for the yellow metal. In de-
scrIblng her experiences, reports the
Chicago Chronicle, Mrs. Clark says that
she was the only woman in q party
which left New Orleans in the month
of July OF that memorable year. Two
male relations were with the party,
however. She says;
my husband made the trip to Califor-
MIA by sea, going round the Horn. That
trip was considered too dangerous and
inconvenient for women to take, and /
was left at homo TO accompany q party
that would start a few weeks later.
The most severe part Of the trip was
crossing Panama. Our party arrived
earlier than did my husbands. Wewent

mining region, somewhere near where
Folsom is now located. We remained
there and in a number of mining camps

self, after leaving the mines, lived at
Sacramento, San Francisco and other
places for II years and then returned
to Kentucky. We had probably as much

Hot water ADplicntIonn,

Locally an application of warm wa
ter irritates the nerves OF the skin, and,
owing to the contraction produced in
the vessels, which afterward dilate, ex-
cites cutaneous circulation. A strong
er current of blood is induced toward
the periphery and "decongests" the In
ternal organs. Warm baths in cases
of bronchitis, pneumonia, rheumatism,
and sciatica give good results. Pru-
dence in the use of warm water is neces-

POOL OF INK PHENOMENON.
Situated in Southern California in a
DesOInte Spot.

Situated in Southern California in a
DesOInte Spot.
Without doubt the most remarkable
body of water In the world lies in the
vicinity Of the Colorado river, in south
ern California. In this region of ugly
volcanoes, desolate wastes and Shiny
swamps, says the St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, the strangest phenomenon Of
all is what the naturalsts call "lake of
ink" No other description fits so well.
The strange black fluid that forms the
lake bears no resemblance to water. 1t
must some day have been q flake of
fire." and even now 1t tallies excellent
ly with the familiar description of the
internal regions. Thick and viscous
and foul-smelling, it seems altogether
unfit that it should deface the surface
of the earth.
The pool of ink is situated about half
a mile from volcano. 1t is about an
acre in area. The surface is coated
with gray ashes from the volcanoes to
the thickness OF about six inches, thus
concealing its real nature. A traveller
not prepared to avoid its treacherous
depths might easily walk into it. Ex-
pertinent has proved that the black
fluid of the lake is not poisonous. 1t
acts as dye, and cotton goods soaked
In It keep their color for months, even
when exposed to the sun. They also
acquire q stiffness similar to that pro-
duced by weak starch. The fluid has
been analysed, but its component parts
have mot been made known.

reeds on CrocodiIe Erna,

The monitor" lizard owes it's name
to its habit of whistling to warn of the
approach of crocodiles. 1t is said that
it is very hard to kill, a naturalist hav-
ing tried in almost every way to de-
prive one of life without mutilating it.
The Nile monitor (varanus niloticus),
of which live specimen has just been
brought to the London ZOO from South
Africa, is supposed to be the largest
member Of the family, having BEEN
known to attain the length of six feet.
1t more nearly resembles crocodile
tits enemy than other lizards. 1t fesds
upon crocodile eggs or young crSeo-
diles. 1t is common on the Nile, near
Sierra Leone, Senegal, and in the riv-
ers of South Africa.

threatened to quit unless they received
their pay.
The well was not gusher; 1t was
what is known In the oil regions as
"snall producer" and yielded on an
average of IL barrels day.
While Grath was looking about for
some method to pipe his oil the rains
came and swelled the tiny creek which
passed throughhis farm until its course
was changed and 1t flowed by his we'll.
That was all the Trishman needed. At
practically no expense beyond the cost
of cutting a little timber from his land,
he rugged up a water-wheel, and soon
nature was merrily pumping her treas
ures into a neighboring tank owned by
one Of the big pipe lines, and Grath was
charging her work up to the company
at so much q barrel.
When she had shaved long enough for
Grath to save some money he put down
another well, which, Like the first.
proved to be small producer. The sup
ply from this we'll was pumped by the
same wheel into the same neighboring
tank, and the only increase In the Irish
mans labor was to charge double the
sum for the work nature was doing.
A. small producer" is q fortune, al
most the same as big producer, be-
cause it takes so much less labor to run
it. Grath sometimes employs a man
and sometimes he doesn't, but he gets
rich just the same. On q rainy spell he
can sleep most of the day and wake up
to find himself just SO many dollars
richer, and when he goes off on three
days fishing he comes back to find mis-
fortune is just so much greater than it
was.
1t matters little to him what the
price Of oil may be. The cost of produc-
ton worries him not at all. Even with
it down to so cents a barrelhe assure of
an income OF $12 day, and that is
enough to meet all his needs. When
there is dollar oil he wakes rich fast,
and his slave does the work for him at
the same rates. For years he has
watched her, and never once has she
gone on strike or asked for shorter
hours.
Capitalists have again and again tried
to buy the Grath place, but this new
Rockefellerof Pennsylvania thinks he is
doing very we'll just as he is. He does
not know just how much he is worth,
but thinks it is considerable"

The value which the car sets upon the

The train was stopped immediately3and
