A special term of court has been call
ed for February 2G.


Among the late decisions Of the Su
preme Court were two in the cases of
Young Va The Forest Oil Co and Of
Colgan Ys The Forest in which 1t was
held that the lessee, after entering upon
n lease and producing oil in paying
quantities, could not be forced by the
lessor to make further developments,
but could use his own best business
Judgment as to further operations This
is contrary to the former court decisions
under which if one operator refused to
develop part of n lease he could be
forced to give that part up. Paying
quantities" was defined to be sufficient
production TO leave any profit, however
small above the operating expenses re.
gnrdless of money expended in drilling.
In another decision the court hold that
the operator could use n gas pump or
any other improved method of extract
ing oil or gas from the earth, no matter
whether it drained adjacent territory or
not All the decisions were in favor Of
the Forest Oil Co.

CURE FOR IVY POISON.
OF the Many Remedies Suggested
None Are More EficaciOus Than
the Simple Ones

Probably no poisonous plants are
more dreaded than poison ivy and poi
son sumach, and probably no other
one plant has so many remedies, said
to be good, recommended for it. The
poisoning principle in these two
plants is the same and can be COM
bated with the same remedies. But
few of the people who are poisoned
take this into consideration. They
use often the first thing that suggests
itself.
The cause of the trouble is a re-
Gently discovered non-volatile oil called
toxicodendrol. 1t is very irritating to
the skin in a manner only too well
known. Since it cannot be dissolved
in hot water, washing is of little use.
1t can, however, be dissolved and con-
verified into a soap by the action of al
kalies such as ammonia, washing soda
and caustic potash or soda. 1t is also
readily dissolved in alcohol. All these
NAV be used in case poisoning should
occur. but there is a better remedy
which may be made as follows; In
| bottle of alcohol put and shake as
much acetate (sugar) of lead as will
dissolve; then add a little more lead,
so that when shaken the mixture is
milky. When needed rub the shaken
mixture upon the parts affected sew
eral times a day until all irritation
ceases. If too strong the mixture may
be diluted with water, but more. lead
should be added. Should poisoning
occur and this preparation not be OBJ
| tainable, hot soapsuds, with some soda
or other alkali added to it, may be
used. This should not be relied upor
unless the poisoning is very fresh: ad
yanced cases should be treated will

TestiDr Balls of Steel.

Cast steel balls when made require
to be examined in order that faulty
ones may be cast aside. This eNamlna-
ton involves much time and labor,
and even then faulty balls are not al
ways detected. A German has devised
an apparatus for testing them in ac-
cordance with physical laws. The balls
are placed on the top of cylinder in
which works a piston rod; each ball is
struck with the same force by the rod
and falls on an inclined surface; at the
end of this plane it strikes against an
impact surface. If ball is perfect 1T
will have enough elasticity to rebound
beyond fixed barrier, but if it imper-
feet it has an inferior degree of elas-
ITCHY and falls short. All balls which
do not pass the barrier may safely be
rejected as faulty.

QUEER BIRD HOMES.

AUToM ATTIC BOOTBLACK.
Slot Machine which SHINES s""eS
quite as Thoroughly as the
PrOverbinl Small Boy.

The latest slot-machine is for black
ing boots. 1t comes from Paris, and
is thus described in Cosmos:
I'VE have automatic vendors of all
sorts; but until the present time there
has been none to aid in the details OF
the toilet. This want is now filled; we
can not yet, it is true, have our hair
cut or be shaved by dropping nickel
in the slot; but we can have our boots

'srhe automatic bootblack has three
rotary U-shaped brushes, which IN
close the top and sides of the shoe;
these brushes are contained in metal
cylinder having two openings for the
introduction of the foot. In the lower
opening the shoe is attacked above and
on the sides; in the upper one (see Illus
tration) the heel is treated by the
brush. The stages of the operation are
as follows:

the slot, takes hold of the horizontal

to reside in their chosen home for the
rest of the season.
Still another robin tried housekeep-
ing in a disused teaketttle, which had
been flung out in a corner OF. the gar
den.
Birds who shirk their natural duties
are quite as apt to suffer as their hui
man brethren.
The cuckoo makes no nest OF her
own. but watching her chance, lays
her relatively small eggs in the nest
of a more industrious member OF the
bird family. Once mother CUCKOO
managed to insert an egg in the nest
of a redstart which was in small hole
in wall. The aperture was large
enough for the redstarts To go IN and
out of. but when the baby cuckoo burst
from his shell and was strong enough
20 try and shift for himself, he found
ne was too big to get out and SO was
prisoner for life. His foster parents
fed him till they thought he was old
enough to earn his own living and then
they left him, so the poor cuckoo
through the laziness of his mamma
persisted miserably.
Perhaps the most absurd place for
nest ever discovered was in cannon
box, located at an army post. A spar
row was the bird to make this choice
| and though the cannon was fired twict
a dav, it did not deter her from bring
ing up a healthy family of yonne

bar, introduces his foot into the first
brush-hole, and turns handle. Az
once a small electric motor sets the
axle of the rotary brushes in motion,
and in the twinkling of an eye the
shoe is cleaned.

ceeding. The only care he has to take
is to turn up his trousers, an important
1 precaution when one thinks what the
machine might do to them if this were
omitted"
In closing. the writer of the notice
remarks that there is a great future
for slot-machines of this general type
for use in hotels, colleges, etc. Many
of the offices now performed by serv'
ants may in certain cases be rendered
expeditiously and well by such de-
vices as these
