A Handy Truck.

In the year 1898, having spent con-
siderable money for trucks to handle
oranges with without getting one that
suited me or that my men were con-
tented to use, [ went to work at my
bench (every farmer and horticulture
ist should have bench) one day and
in a couple of hours completed what
[ believe to be an entirely new and
improved orange box truck.
The old trucks soon found their
way to the junk room while this one
was caught up and used whenever
box was to be moved, even though it
be but few feet. 1t was used always
in loading and then taken along to the
depot to be used in unloading. 1t has
through continuous use proven itself
one of the handiest tools ever used in
a packing house. Deeming it too val
liable tool not to be put into general
use [ send you, Mr.. Editor, the fol-
lowing description for publication,
that others may make and use them
and that I may not be bothered fur
ther by applications from those who
have seen or heard of it and desire to
possess one. Let me say here that [
am not making them for sale and one
of my objects in writing this is to
head off further correspondence in
reference to it.

more space than the head of box oc-
cupies, will pick up box from snug
up in a corner, or between other box
es in a row, without the necessity of
moving it out to where it can be top
ped away from the truck to allow of
getting under it and it will drop
box gently into such position with
out touching a hand to it or pulling
it out of place while getting free from
it as with the ordinary freight truck.
ANY man with a mechanical turn can
make them and unless some patent
covers the idea, which I think is not
the case, can sell them to his neigh
bors.
Referring to the accompanying cuts

of truck with orange box in position,

MELTING oLD OIL WELLS.

How the Iushers of Former Days Are Re-
stored to Thor Former Vigor.
T. w. Young, of Washington, has in
vented all electrical heater TO be lowered
into an oil we'll The idea is,; says the
Mining and Scientific Press, to generate
eiectricity.in large quantities so that
the refuse matter which clogs the pores
of the oilstone will be melted and run
ont. causing fresh upward flow OF
OIL. The theory as to the exhaustion of
% many wells is fhat the oil, in passing
upward through, the stone, has clogged
The porous stone with paraffin in such
quantities that the further fows 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 tne exit is. stopped. " It has been
common to Use tofpedoes TO shatter The
stone ateths bottom OF the we'll, thus
breaking up thetlokged matter, but this
is an expensive process. BY the Young
method the .machipe, which, is about
three feet long and resembles an iron
cartridge, is placed at the bottom Of
the well and electricity used of suffi-
cient 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 rock In ali directions,
the paraffin and other refuse is soft
ened and melted 50 that it runs, and

occurs just as strong as when IT was

Kate never made practice of going
with folks who followed any branch

"McGregor, who at this time was

mentO street, in San Francisco, knew
Kate well by sight, and he also knew
or the holes she was drilling in the
purses of wealthy men whose money
he would rather have taken in at his
bank. He was rather curious to meet
her and to find out what sort of poker
game she played to Go such remark
able winning.
Byron McGregor was himself su-
preme master of the game of poker,
and he always played the game on the
level, even with strangers; but he
knew how to play crooked, too, if he
wanted to, when he stacked up against
people who, not knowing him, thought
to rub it in on him.

was a quiet, gentlemanly-looking man
OF 50 at this time. He went TO San

with her. He registered under an as
sumed name, played his points well,
and was soon in the coterie about to
be plucked by the woman whose game
he desired to know

caro- playing, when Kate, thinking she
saw another good thing, invited him
into the game.

or, but she persisted, and he sat In.
He told us afterward that he never felt
SO elated in his life-not for the MON
ey, but for the experience of seeing

deepiy into the pockets of men who
were pretty good themselves.
