with Mr.. Peterson, they relied upon his
making a true and accurate report to
them concerning the property and all
relating to 1t, and for furnishing the
information that his brother, the said
W. +. Peterson, the younger, had
failed to supply" 1t is further said
that upon consideration of said re-
port and letter of May 9, 1889. and act
ing upon the faith of the same, ano
relying thereon, and relying also upon
conversations and representations
made by the said B. Walker Peterson,
they accepted his offer for the said
property. and made and executed to
him the deed Of conveyance which is
mentioned and set forth in the first
paragraph Of this amended bill, with
the belief, induced by the said report

tons. made by said B. Walker Peter
son, that said sale was expedient and

The plaintiffs further aver that II

that the report made to them by b.
Walker Peterson, dated May 8, 1889,
was not true, and was, on the other
hand. false and untrue, and contained
misrepresentation and false state
ments that were fradulently designed
to mislead as to the condition and
quantity of land for the purpose OF
obtaining the said property at an
under value.
And this claim is backed up by nu-
merous detailed allegations, which are
set down at great length. The plain
tiffs allege that the development OF
oil on the land was entirely unknown
TO them, and alIege sthat it was the
duty of B. Walker Peterson to have
disclosed this information to plain
tiffs, and that it was a fraud to with
hold such knowledge, notwithstand-
ing which, said B. Walker Peterson, IN
his report Of May 8, 1889, treated the
land as of small value, and stated
therein, that it will not pay any one
not in actual occupancy to attempt TO
hold land in this portion Of the State
with a view to increased value for
timber or agricultural purposes.

Gently ascertained that said B. Walker
Peterson. at an early date after re-

from persons who had previously
bought or held contracts Of purchase
for parts Of the same.
And the plaintiffs further aver ,that
they have recently ascertained that

the above mentioned lease from B.

CANDLE-MAKING IN SWEDEN.
Some Are Made from Stearin OBJ
tanned From Insects.

w. S. Harwood has an article in the
"St. Nicholas" on "A Giant Candle y
describing one of the unique features at
the Stockholm Exposition Concerning
candle making in Sweden, Mr.. Harwood
writes:
The candles of Sweden are not dipped
in the old-fashioned way. but are made
on what might be called scientific prin-
ciples, after the experience of good
many centuries has told the makers just
what materials Will produce the best re-
suits. They are not run in hand-held
molds, at the risk of burning somebody's s
fingers or spotting the kitchen floor with
splashes of tallow. TalloW in its crude
state is, indeed, used in the manufac-
ture of these Swedish candles; but 1t
must pass through a long treatment be-
fore it yields up the pure stearin from
which the snowy candles are made.
Some of this tallow reaches Sweden
after long ship-journeyings from South
America, while some of the stearln does
not come from tallOW at all, but from
palm-oil gathered by the natives OF
South Africa; and still another supply of
secured in a curious way-from insects
shipped from China. The insects, in
drying, turn into q wax very rich III
Stearin.
When the stearin is ready for the mix
ing it is nearly pure white in color, a
clear liquid that has the hue and consis-
tency of melted white sugar. In the
factory the attendants fill their large,
wide-lipped zinc pitchers with the liquid
stearin, step to a long row of candle
molds, and pour in the melted stearin.
The molds are in sections, twelve can
dies to a section of the smallersiz9d I'd can
dies. The wicks for the candles have
first been twisted from threads into the
proper size and threaded through the
molds BIZ machinery.
AS soon as the stearin has cooled
around the wicks a keen knife passes
under and cuts the ends of the Wicks,
the candles in the section are lifted out,
and another set Of Wicks, all threaded
through another set of molds, stands
ready for the next pouring. Swiftly

dant passes them on III box to am

/ watched a young woman who was
at work one day in a factory in Sweden
(and the factory, by the way, was To-

were making, perhaps five inches III
