STRIKING OIL IN ARIZONA.

Phoenix, Ariz,, Aug. Is CspeciaD.-The California
oil excitement has passed into Arizona. The
Sun Kissed Territory now boasts three oil fields,
though, IT is cheerfully confessed rot a gallon Of
petroleum has been taken yet from the ground
But the Iocators full of confidence, and rigs
have been ordered from Los Angeles for several
claims in each of the different fields.
One field is Yuma. in the bottoms" Of the
Colorado River at a point where gas bubbles so
steadily that it may be ignited with match An
other of the fields Is eight miles east OF Phoenix
and north of Tempe, in a clump of sandstone and
granite buttes along the northern bank of Salt
River. 1t is the line OF the Maricopa and
Phoenix Railway. The third field, discovered with
in the week. is on plain northwest of Jerome, not
far from the line of the Santa Fe, Prescott and
Phoenix Railroad. In all three fields the enthus-
asts, too eager to wait for the drills sinking
shafts the oil indications. The reports are
alike, throughout OF crumbling rock that reeks
with oil and that smells to high heaven The
formations declared correct by oil experts from
the Southern California oil fields. Already are
speculation and dickerng over the claims taken up
and several have been sold at high valua tions.

WATER FILTRATION IMPOSSIBLE
WHOLE SYSTEM OF PIPES WOULD HAVE TO BE
CHANGED TO PURIFY SUPPLY.

The specifications for the filtration plants which
to be erected Long Island at Baiselys and
Sprnghed's ponds now In the hands of the
printer 1t is expected that they will be made
public by the end of this week The water supply
of the two ponds concerned averages about four
five million gallons a day. and is part OF the
general water supply of Brooklyn. Some time ago
the ponds condemned. owing to the thick
growth of poisonous vegetation which grew
their shores and polluted the water. The Water
Board decided to erect filtration plants to remedy
the trouble.
At the time it thought that the plants to be
erected would lead eventually to the filtration of
the entire supply of the city of New-York.
But that this Is not likely to be the case Is made
plain by the fact that the water supply of Man
haitian is carried in lead pipes. Filtered water in
lead pipes would lead to greater evils than those
from which the city at present suffers. At the
office of Water Commissioner Dalton yesterday it
was said:
1t would be out of the question to attempt TO
carry filtered water through lead pipes; To in
the laying Of an entire new pipe system an un-
dertaking which makes iltration SO far as Man
p%OSterous posters The he present water supply of the city

yond description but It is this very filth which

stead OF bits of dirt there would be little flakes of

said before. No city IN the world has
complete system of filtration. What is more fltra-
ton is never used where the water supply is fur
nished through tin pipes
It is not possible to say what kind Of filtration
will be practical in the Long Island plants when
they are finally erected Each bidder will prob
ably present system OF his own. The gravity
system" is the one most commonly used and it
is probable that if any satisfactory opportunity of
adopting this system presents itself II will be
seized. this system having. far, given the best
results wherever 1t has been used.

congress this year at Paris from July 16 TO July q.
John p. Haines, the president of the American
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals.
returned Wednesday from his trip taken to rep
resent his society at the congress. and expressed
himself as being pleased at the work accomplished.
In speaking of the congress, he said:
There are about five hundred societies in existence
for the benefit of animals OF these two hundred or
so were represented at the congress The attention
of the delegates directed chiefly to passing
transportation the protection of birds. cruel forms
of so-caed sport, and the suffering of animals on
well meaning persons to care properly for animals
on railway cars. The congress approved Of a COM
petition for nventing a form of railway carriage
that shall provide for the supply of food for the
cided to urge that all animals should be put into
cars by number and not by weight.
that the various governments be brought to
take International measures for their protection,
forbddng the wholesale capturing of birds by nets,
finding out the exact of birds in their terri
tory seeing that children taught the value or
birds. and
Governments will be urged to enforce more strict
ly the existing laws against cruel sports. making
the punishments more severe where they seem In

of animals on the field of battle. or to terminate
their existence.
Il was interesting to find that a French society.
the Societe d'Assstance Animaux, has just been
formed to help horses in old age and sickness.
There is society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals but there is plenty Of room for this new
organization TO do good work.
