IT'S FIRST OIL FIRE.
Pittsburg, Jan. 22.-Scio was intro
duced to its first oil fire yesterday af-
ternoon, and for a time the widest ex-
cltement prevailed and the inhabitants
were we'll nigh panic stricken. The
fire originated in the Caldwell & Boy
or well, on the Mincks lot, which was
shot yesterday. The flames, which en-
veloped everything for hundreds of
feet, seemed impossible to control, and
soon an adjoining derrick caught fire.
These, with two barns, which were to
windward, caused the greatest excite
ment, for the manner in which the
derricks were crowded made it seem
almost impossible to avoid a general
confagration. The loss of two barns,
derrick and-a $50 barrel tank of oil
is placed at $4,000 with no insurance
The fire was caused by some turning
shavings.

PICTURES OF SOUND.
May Be Photographed In
Simple Manner.

To take a picture of your voice it is
only necessary to tie sheet Of thin
strong paper over the faring end of
an old tin horn. Hold the horn with
the sheet of paper upward. Take a
little pinch of fine sand and place it
in the center of the paper. Then hold
the horn vertically above your, face and
sing note into the lower end Of the
instrument. Do not blow, but ,sing the
note. Now lower the horn carefully
and look atthe sand. You will find that
the vibrations Of your voice have scat
tered the pinch of sand into beauti-
full sound picture. Every note in the
musical scale will produce a different
pictures So you may produce "a great
variety of them. Some of these pictures
look like pansies, roses and other flow
ers, some look like snakes, and others
like flying birds; in fact, there is no
limit to the variations The pictures
of the notes of musical instruments are
made. by holding the horn as near as
possible to, them. s..
As stated above, sand may be used,
but lycopodium powder will produce
even better effects. Lycopodium pic
lures may be fixed" by first dissclying
the powder in alcohol and then placing
3 drop Of the fluid on the paper. But
YOU must be quick about it. The alco-
hol evaporates in few seconds, soyou
must make. the sound in. the horn as
soon as you have deposited the drop
The small amount Of liquid VIII not
prevent the powder in it from spread
ing. When it has spread, however, it
will stick the picture in it's place en- the
paper, which may then be taken off the
horn and preserved.
You may thus obtain pictures Of the
voices of all your friends. Common;
gum tragicanth with a little alcohol in
it also makes good pictures. If you
wish to see the pictures while they are
being made, you may employ an old
daring bell-shaped ear trumpet, or you
may use your old horn with short
piece Of rubber tubing on the mouth
! piece.-N. Y. Sun.

TWO STORIES OF SPIRITS
One Of Which Might Have Been cutie
Easily and Naturally ~Ac-
counted For.

When spirit was comparative
~ new and we were youngsters, we
used to hear delightful spooky stories
about mysterious actions Of furniture
and things, which one never seems to
hear nowadays rem efnber one about
some people who had guests invited5tosa
grand dinner The table was spread
with all the Dishes but the meal had
not yet been served. The family had
great store Of beautiful glass and
china, and it was all on the table. For
a moment the servants were all out of,
the dining pom, and just at that mo-
5ment all the people III the restsof thess
house heard a deafening crash of fall
ing dishes; from the dining-room there
came the sound of glassware precipi-
,tated upon the floor and crushing into
fragments, and in the midst Of the roar
ofsthis wreck there rosesto the terrified
ears Of the host and hostess the high,
clear ,l!E ar notes of the smashing Of much
thin china. Every body in the house
family, guests, servants rushed to the
dlning-room door at,the same moment, :.
expecting to see, nothing less than the
table overthrown and every precious
dish on it broken, and what did they be-
hold? The table set in perfect order
with not thing on it disturbed. What
had made the awful crash? Nobody
ever knew. Not dish was even nicked
IN that house that day. The spirits so
the story ran to us-had just made a
terrible ghostly crash for the fun of it
and the alarm of the household.
"Iremember that this story impressed
me great deal more than it would
have impressed me if the dishes had
really been found smashed, though it
could have been proved that no human
being had been in the room at the time.
| had never before heard of ghost that
was crash and nothing more. I fancy
the establishment of those alleged peo-
pie was not greater than that of
friend of mine over an episode not at
all similar. This gentleman's wife and
daughter were out shopping one after
noon, and he reached home ahead of
them. So far from feeling grieved and
outraged at not finding them there to

pleasantly to give them surprise by
getting them their supper. He hadn't
much in the house, but he set out what
ne had, and placed on, each of three
plates a nice lot of sardines, and then
went out to make them some tea. He
got it made and came back, and looked
At his table in astonishment. His sup
per was gone The plates which he had
put on the table were there just where
be had placed them, but they were as
clean as when he put them on. He knew
that there was not another human be-
ing in the house. What sprite had
waited away those sardines?
This is a true story. There was not
another human being in the house, but
the gentleman owned two delightful
cocker spaniels, and they were in the
house. Who can doubt that, as they
licked the plates which had contained
the sardines, they had said to them
selves: 60 to; we will make it unnec-
essary for our dear master to wash
these plates?' Boston Transcript.

CAME AS A SHOCK.
Opening of Hostilities Not Anticipated
by the administrations.

by the decentralization.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Admiral
Dewey on Sunday cabled the navy de-
partment that hostilities had begun be-
tween the American army and naval
forces in and about Manila, and the
Philippine insurgents. The insurgents,
he said, had been the aggressors, and
had been repulsed.
Admiral Dewey's cablegram is SIS fol-
lows:
Manila, Feb. 5.-To the Secretary OF the
Navy, Washington: Insurgents here inau-
gurated general engagement yesterday
night, which has continued to-day. Amer
lean army and navy generally successful
Insurgents have been driven back and our
line advanced. No casualties to navy.
DEWEY
The news came like shock, for the
administration, though apprised that
an ugly, situation prevailed in the Phil
ippines, had clung steadily to hope
that by tact and patience actual fight
ing might be averted, and even those
public men who felt that hostilities
would follow, should the treaty be rati-
fed and the United States attempt to
occupy the islands, believed that Aguin-
