They returned home, cut down the
brambles from around the old hole,
pulled out the plug and found that
the smell was the same. They applied
a match. It burned and from that
three-foot blaze which ieaped from
the old stand-pipe came 1ndiana's
greatest wealth.
1t was in the following spring that
Old Vesuvius came into being. The
drill was sent down under the city of
Anderson and the roar announcing the
opening of we'll that took all before
it awoke the city early one morning.
The pressure from this new well was
astounding. The roar Of the escaping
gas could be heard several miles and
when put on full force and lighted the
pressure was so great that it would
blow out the flame. For this reason
and because of the deafening roar it
became necessary to pipe it 20 White

creased it leaped into the air, white,
seething foam, surging aud plunging
until geyser was formed, reaching to
a height of twenty-five feet. Then
when burning newspaper was foated
down the current and came within
twenty feet of the place there was
flash and the great fountain of soeth-
ing foam became fire, leaping far above
the surrounding trees and spreading
out until it was thirty feet across.
Like great candle it lighsed the sur

IS no more. The greatest and most
remarkable gas we'll of them all was
packed a few weeks ago and from q
thing of splendor, attracting sight
seers from almost every State IN the
Union-drawing the American Asso'
citation of Scientists all the way from
Boston in q special train-it has sunk
to the level of a common, every day,
deep-water we'll. 1t was all expensive
thing of beauty. Figuring on basis
of coal at ordinary market prices, 1t is
estimated that $4,000, 900 worth OF
natural gas WAS wasted every year that
old Vesuvius might rule as one OF the
greatest gas wells of history.
The Indiana natural gas fields we're
opened in 1886, and Vesuvius was
brought into activity in the following
year. The discovery of the Indiana
deposit was due to the gran deur fthe
Korg we'll at Findlay, Ohio, which up
to the time of the discovery OF Yes
uvius, was the greatest of them all.
So wonderful were the illuminations
from the old Korg we'll that excur-
sions were run to that point from
every section OF the central States,
while many went even a greater dis
tance to witness the display. 1t was
this, iu fact, that started the great
natural gas fever which spread all
over the country between 1884 and
1888.
Among the ezcursionists from In
diana were a dozen or more from
hamlet called Eaton. Eaton, then as
now, was only a speck on the map,
while many maps did not even give it
recognition. Twenty years previous
to this q party of Fort Wayne capital.
lists had drilled at Eaton in search OF
coal. After getting down 600 feet,
they were compelled to abandon the
driller because of opening deposit OF
''most maladol GUS vapor. They gave
up their search for the coal vein and
in order to shut off the "stink" they
drove o long wooden plug into tho
opening. Then the we'll was forgot
ten.
The e1cursionists from Eaton who
went to Findlay to witness the great
Korg we'll display, notice the peculiar
odor of the escaping gas. 1t struck
them that there was some similarity
between that peculiar small and the
smell which they had found around
the old we'll, twenty years before.

Rudynrd Klpllns on Temperance.

Rudyard Kipling tells US how, In n con-
cert hall in America, he saw two young
men get two girls drunk and then lead
them, reelln2, down dark street. Mr..
Kipling has not been total abstniner, nor
have his writings commended temperance,
but OF that scene he writes: "Then, recant-
ing previous opinions, I became prohibit
ZIONIST. Better 1t is that man should 20
without his beer In public places and con-
tent himself with swearing ut the narrow
mindedness OF the majority; better 1t is to
poison the inside with very vile temper
ance drinks and to buy lager furtively at
back doors, than to bring temptation to
tho lips OF young fools such as the four
had seen. I understand now why the
preachers rage against drink, I have said,
there is no harm in 1t, taken moderately
md yet my own demand for beer helped
directly to send these two girls reellng
down the dark street to-God alone knows
what ond. Ifliquor is worth drinking 1t Is
worth taking little trouble to come at
such trouble as a man will undergo to COM
pass bis own desires. It is not good that
we should let 1t lie before the eyes OF chill
dreu, and have been fool In writing to
the contrary."-Th Young Man.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

SSSSSSSSSSSSSS
A simple classification OF the Philip
pine Archipelago's population may be
made with the assistance OF the accom-
panyiug ethnographic map taken from
Harper's Weekly:
l. The Moros, or Sulus (Mohamme-
dan Malays, occupy the small southern
islands, the southern and western
coasts OF Mindanao. and the southern
extremity of Palawan. Their capital
is Sulu. AS for their number, the
estimate in the Nouveau Dictionnaire
de Geosrapraphie Universelle, BY n.
Vivien de Saint Martin, is 200, 900 to
800, 900.
-. The islands of the central group
are inhabited chiefly by Visayaus
(Roman Catholic Malays). OF the
Visayans proper there are about .
500, 900; but if we include the cognate
tribes scattered from North eastern
Mindanao to Mindoro. and the Calami-
anes Islands, the total number is prob
ably much greater.
8. The Tagals, Tagalogs, or Tagalos
(Roman Catholic Malays}, from whom
Aguinaldo has drawn the larger part
of his forces, inhabit central Luzon.
Their number is uncertain, though for
the present we may accept Saint-Mar-
tins estimate-1,2 100000.
4. Tribes of Malays, which are
numerically of less Importance, are
not always clearly distinguished from
Tagalogs and Visayans--e. s., the I!o.
canos, Pampangos, and Zambales OF
Northern and Western Luzon, the
Bicols Tor Vicols) in the extreme south
east OF Luzo1 and in adjacent islands,
the Subanos of Southern Cebu, etc.
5. Non-Malayan savages, remnants
OF On earlier population which was dis
placed by the Malays, are widely scat
tered, and the common name "Indo-
nesiens" is given to these tribes by
the writer's, who regard them as repre-
sentatives of race which the Malays
drove into the mountains, somewhat

history. As is known, the young
Vlscountess occupies an enviable posi-.
tion in English society. She has been
twice received by Queen Victoria, and
she has won many friends by her
charming personality. She was first
known to English society as Miss
Virginia Rpnynge, the daughter of G.
W. Bonynge, California millionaire.
Virginia Bonynge became the init!
mate friend of Princess Christian,
and was ,patronized by all of the royal
social leaders. Shortly after her
presentation she became engaged to
an English nobleman. and after all
the arrangements had been made for
the wedding it became known that she
was not the daughter of Mr.. Bonynge,
but the daughter of California
miner who committed murder, by
name William Daniel. William
Daniel was an English gardener who
married housemaid and emigrated
to America. The Daniels journeyed
from the East to Illinois, where they
began farming on q quarter section OF
land, and it was during their soiourn
in this State that Virginia was born.
When a mere babe her parents started
for the Rockies. While in q
mining camp on the Pacific
slope Daniel quarreled with num-
Der of reckless men and killed
his man. He was tried apd convicted
and sentenced to life Imprisonment.
Soon after Bonynge, also miner, met
Mrs. Daniel and persuaded her to get
q divorce from Daniel, which she did,
and married him. Thereafter Virginia
became known as Virginia Bonynge,
The Bonynges prospered and became
rich, and eventually went to London
to live. When the facts of Miss Bon
ynge's antecedents were made known
to the prospective bridegroom the en-
gagement was broken off by the scion
of the noble British house. The
Princess Christian, however, re-
NAMED the fair hciress's friend, and
she challenged her right Of entire into
the most aristocratic British society.
The chances are that Virginia Bon-
ynge cared little for her first noble
love, for she soon forgot him and mar
ried the Viscount Deerhurst, who,
loved her in spite of the fact that She
was the daughter of miner and
convict.

Man Alone Responsible.

God is continually loaded with responsf-
bilities that belong to'men. There Is per-
petual throwing Off Of burdens, a constant
resignation of trusts, a. daily shirking Of
duties. 81 is the Lords will," says the
unsuccessful man in the same moment that
he casts away the tools or the material which
the Lord gave him to achieve success with.
God Is responsible for the manner OF mans
success, because that is largely determined
by his surroundings; bpt. for the success it
self the man alone Is always and everywhere
responsible. Talents, gifts, opportunity, are
very unequally distributed, but the posi-
bilities OF energy, industry, persistence, are
shared alike by all men, and these are the
qualities which not only win but command
success. To have the power OF trustworthy
thought and yet be superficial thinker, TO
have the faculty Of persuasive speech and
yet deal out RECONSTRUCTED sentences and
hastily arranged ideas, to have the power OF
the artist and yet paint weak pictures or
carve soulless statues, Is to fail without
shadow OF excuse to throw that failure
upon God Is to add ingratitude to unfaith-
fulness.-Lyman Abbott, D. D.

Seeing God Fass, to FACE.

Each of us is set in very small cleft OF Q
very large world, and no one OF us can see
the whole horizon, but as each days glory
goes away the light of 1t illuminates our
memory and suggests our hopes. And 80
the Insignificant life gets meaning. and the
darkened life gets light. and the lonely
life. gets companionship, and We walk,
as the Bible says, not by sight, but by
faith. That is the meaning OF the limita-
tions and mysteries Of life. They are
the hand of God held gently before the
eyes. And that may be the difference be-
tween the life OF earth and the life Of heaven.
Here" says Paul. I'VE see In mirror, by
reflection imperfectly;" there, we may be
strong enough to see God face to face, and
to know as we are known. Here we are in
the cleft of the rock; there, We may survey
the whole horizon. Here, faith; there,
sight. "On earth the broken arc; IN heaven
the perfect round" Here, the departing
glory; there, the promise OF the Book Of
Revelation. that We shall see His face and
be satisfied, when we awake, with His like
ness.-F. G. Peabody. D. D., in afternoons

tions of the archipelago, by hordes OF
Asiatics coming from the Malay PEN
insula by way of Borneo-the first
incursion being lei by Tagals, and
the second by Visayans. The third
and last wave of Malay invasion cul
minated about the middle of the six
teenth century, not far from the time
when the Spaniards arrived upon the
scene and established themselves in
the Visayss and Luzon.
The editor CT the Dictionnaire de
Geographic Universelle estimates the
total population of the archipelago at
about 5000, 900, but fails to give con-
viacing reasons for this opinion. In
view of the statements which have
been repeated day after day for the
last ten months, that the Philippines
support population of 5000, 600 to
100000 persons, it may not seem
that our question is too pointed if we
ask, How is this information derived?
A little scrutiny of figures given in the
foregoing paragraphs will show that
perhaps 100000 or 5000, 900 have
been accounted for. Within limit.
ed area, conditions which allow half
million of people to live by hunting
are not usually such as to allow s.
100000 or 5000, 900 more to live by
agriculture and commerce. Why,
then, does it seem probable that the
population of the Philippines is so
dense? How has it been possible to
secure trustworthy information on this
head?-Marrion Wilcox, in Harper's
Weekly.

Insanity Caused by Drink.

AneLabls paper was recently read be-
fore the British Medical Society In which
the author maintained that insanity ca2
be largely traced to the incorporate use OF
intoxicating drinks. He held that "tha
public Is responsible for allowing men and
women to continue In the Incorporate In
diligence OF alcohol to such IN extent as to
become burdens to the State. He took the
ground that the habltual inebrlate has for
fslted the right OF personal liberty, and he
intlmated that the freedom OF the will, as
a natural right, Is dependent on the abil-
ity to control the will. When any man or
woman reaches the point where the desire
for alcoholic liquors Is not controlled, hs
should be treated as public nuisance. -
