These gentlemen believe they have

for drilling five more wells. The
material will be shipped direct from
Pittsburg and hauled out to the To-

before bad weather, and the wells
will be started as soon as possible.
A number of gentlemen in this
city have leases up that way, and
are watching these developments

wells at once.

Undeyeloped Wealth,

A recent report on the OF
British Guiana and the British West
India islands by the assistant director
OF the Royal Gardens at Kew indicate
that immense sources of wealth are
there neglected, or ~undeveloped. Yet
the British colonies in Guiana, Trini-
dad, Barbados, Jamaica and the other
islands are distressed by hard times.
The report argues that the cause of the
distress is the fact that the colonists
have heretofore practically given them
selves over to the production of sugar
alone, neglecting the other sources of
wealth lying at their doors. Coffee,
cotton, rice, bananas, cocoanuts. and.
in fact, every kind of tropical produc-
ton can be successfully cultivated
there, and the forests abound in gutta
percha, India rubber and valuable tim
Der; but all these lie almost
undeveloped. The colonists of Jamai-
ca are said to have learned a lesson.
and in recent years have improved
their condition by c%ultivating fruits
and spices, for which their soil and
climate are well suited.

Honor BE Unto Mark Twain.

Mark Twain's success in carrying out
the great project to which he dedicated
himself on the failure of his business
will be matter for satisfaction to all
his very numerous friends. He has
worked hard to amass the necessary
funds and has done so single-handed,
and we are proud TO congratulate him
on a noble achievement. It will be re-
membered that early last year, when
sick at heart and in poor health, Mark
Twain accepted the offer of a public
subscription which was made by a
New York paper. But in the course of
a few days that acceptance was revok-
ed and he determined that not from
without but from within should the
debt be paid. Honor to him for such
a decision. Mark Twain has told as
that his favorite motto is: BE good.
aud you will be lonesome" He must
be very lonesome now.-London Acad-

THE LIFE OF A GUN.
OefSserioHs Effects of the Capitalization
of Metals by Concussion


of Metals by Conclusion.
The life of a gun is one of the most
unsatisfactory things about it," re-
marked an ordnance officer in discus
sing the war question, land though o
number OF experiments have been made
IN connection Herewith, there is ne
absolute certainty as to results. A gen.
erai rule has been arrived at which is
thought to be on the safe side of the
matter, and that is that the modern
steel gun should not be fired more than
lOO times. After that it matters not
what the emergency may be, it is safer
10 dismantle the gun and send it back
TO the shop than to risk firing it, for
the explosion of a gun is a decidedly
n extensively dangerous occurrence
TO all In its immediate locality. The
hiring of a gun causes the steel to crys-
tallize, and thereby become brittle as
a ME. So far as has yet been discov-
cred, there Is no remedy for 1t. 1t is
not exactly a total loss after a gun has
become dead, for the steel can be used
Tor thousands of things in the way of
bolts, braces and the like for new work
n for repairs. AS is generally known
a modern gun is an expensive affair,
running from SIS, 900 way up 1t is
equally expensive to keep it in opera
ton, the cost for each cartridge sent
from 1t being owe 81 900 which does
not include the putting of the gun on
Its emplacement or taking it down, for
tho fhnItunn1r 80 I-1l.
expended in paying salaries and sub
sistence of the officers and men who
operate it. This disqualification of the
metal Is one of the mysteries of the
science of ordnance. The gun could
be revivified to some extent by heating
1t to a white heat and allowing it to
cool off slowly, but the treatment is
no exactly satisfactory or ever ap-
proximately certain as to results. It
has been said of us as of other nations,
that If we kept every gun we own in
actual firing operation for ever TWEEN
ty-four hours the powder and shell
Dill would bankrupt us, and there Is
some truth in 1t. This capitalization
of the metal is not confined to gun
however. The same thing occurs in
the journals or axles used on the rail-
road cars. 1t is for hat reason that
careful railroads put on new axles
every five or six years. In Europe
there are laws upon the subject, though
1t Is customary with us. In Germany
1t is unlawful to use an axle on pas
senger cars more than four years,
though the limitation on freight cars
Is not SO rigid. AS with the oftfired
gun, the steel in the journal becomes
so brittle by the crystallization in con
sequence of its use that it Is liable to
snap into a dozen pieces any time after
its life is ended"

The commonest sound of pleasurable
emotion, the ordinary purr, has no
purpose to serve; it is an outcome of
pure satisfaction, and is thus slightly
distinguished from a chirrup-the
nearest approach a cat makes to re-
spond in utterance when 1t is affec-
tionately addressed. The by
backward movement of the ears is
more frequent. The chuckle of pleas
urable excitement Is Used when the
cat ia mite unawora Of the prrsvury
OF people, or other cats, as much as
when 1t is playing with a person or an
animal companion. Again, a cat news
to itself when it is bored or hungry;
but If it is making a direct appeal for
food, does SO, unless 1t is painfully
hungry, with a very small voice or a
mouth silently opened. Except. per-
haps, for the chirrup of esponse the
call appears to be the only real an
proach to language; and here 1t seems
possible that the cat does really listen
for a response, and call again.-Lon-

Branding Seals by Electricity.

The surgeons electric cauterizing
wire has been used by the United States
fur seal commission with much success
for branding female fur seals. A
dynamo, driven by a gasoline engine,
supplied the current, which heated a
platinum wire to incandescence. By
moving this once over the animals
body the hair and fur were virtually
moved away. A second sweeping of
the wire across the surface destroyed
the cells so that no fur can grow there.
This destroys the value of the pelt, and
thus operates to prevent the killing
of female seals at sea.

A FAMILY
The struggle with Heredity.
The Right Side of the Color Line.

E.FS hcredity, to the transmission of
TRAITS from sire to son, we owe most of the
possibilities OF growth and development
II each newly born being started out anew,
without tie force of heredity the level
OF life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushnan. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Peculiarities
OF feature, excentricities of speech and
manner, birth marks, ETC., are handed
down just as surely as manual dexterity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and he mental and moral qualities in
general. A curious example of his de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
> "Gray hair is hereditary in our family.
AS long as l can recollect, my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago,
my hair began to show signs of turning.
I resolved to try Ayers Hair vigor, and
after using it only a few times my hair
was restored to its natural color. 1 still
use this dressing occasionally, a bottle
lasting me quite a while; and though over
forty years of age, nay hair retains it's
youthful color and f~u11ness. To all who
have faded and gray hair. 1 would heartily

Among the many expenses borne BY
railroad companies the ice bill figures
quite prominently. For instance. on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad it Is
expected 1t will take over $4,000 tons
OF ice this year to meet the require
ments of the service. The greater
portion is used in connection with
shipment of perishable goods; the bal
ance in the passenger train service. A
great deal of this ice is put up by the
company In its own ice houses, but as
the past winter has been so warm a
very large proportion will have to be
purchased.

A Peculiar Fish.

Trumpet fish or snipe fish are a
genius OF fishes remarkable for their
elongated and tubular snout. The only
British species-rare on the British
coast, but abundant in the Mediter-
ranean-attains a length of about five
inches, the snout projecting about al
inch and a half in front of the eyes.
The color of the back is red, of the
sides lighter red; the sides of the head
and belly silvery, tinged with a golden
hue. The mouth is destitute of teeth.
This little fish is esteemed a delicacy,
and Is often to be seen in the markets
of Italy.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

A prominent business man recently ex.
pressed the opinion that there is one thing
that will prevent women from completely
filing mans place in the business world

are sick too often. This is refuted by Mrs.

me awake nights and wore me out. Icould
get no relief from medicine and hope was
slipping away from me. A young lady in
