THE RUSKIN COLLEGE.
Movement Started by Walter vroo-
man In Interest of Labor Making
Satisfactory Progress.

Walter Vrooman, founder of Ruslin
Hall, the labor college at Oxford, Eng
land, has returned to New York from
Trenton, Mo-, where he has secured
complete control of the old Avalon
college and has changed its name to
Ruskin college. The new college starts
with building worth $4,000, entirely
free of debt, 1,60O acres of land ad-
joining, and $4,000 in cash, $40, 900 of
which was contributed by the trade
unionists of England and $4,000 given
by friends of the movement here. Prof.
George d. Miller, late president of Av-
alon college, has been retained as pres
ident of Ruskin college. Prof. Thom-
as viii, late president of the Kansas
state agricultural college, has been ap-
pointed general secretary of the la
Dor college movement.
The college of social science, organ
lied at the Buffalo conference of So
cial reformers last year, has also con-
solidated with Mr.. Nrooman'E move
ment and turned over its headquarters
in the Unity building in Chicago, from
which the western extension work will
be conducted,

course will cost only S1O0, but the stu
dent will have to work, under skilled
direction, being considered one of the
most valuable features of the train
ing.
Mr.. Vrooman is now at work raising
"merit fund" of 500, GOO, which will
be used to provide scholarships. Tren-
ton, Mo-, has promised to raise $4,000
and Kansas Sity and st. Louis $1,000
each.
In New York it is expected a resi-
dence college will be established soon
at which young men can live for three
dollars week and pursue their
studies while going on with their reg
ular work.

B. c., 10000 perished by shock in Ju-
dea. The day of the crucifxion a great
earthquake occurred, accompanied
with darkness. The same phenome-
non was repeated on January 22 1895,
when the volcano Conseguina, in Cen
trail America, became active.
On various occasions about 100000
have perished in earthquake shocks at
Antioch--25O, 900 in one day. On Feb
ruary 20, 1885, the city of Conception,
in South America, was destroyed. for
the fourth time. There were 300
shocks in two weeks. On that occa-
sion a wave 30 feet high broke on the
island of San Fernandez and fire came
to the surface of the ocean through 400
feet of water. The sea turned black,
had a foul odor and millions of fish
were killed.
Japan and South America have been
shaken so often and so violently that
an earthquake there is hardly worth
notice. In 1854 wave traversed the
Pacific from Japan and broke on the
An erican coast. Sailors say a wave
over so feet high is an impossiblity,
but a wave 80 feet high destroyed Cal
lao, Peru, in 1856. Mexico, the East
Indies, China, Argentine, Hawaii, the
Philippines, California--these places
have been the scenes of FEARFUL disas-
ters from earthquakes and volcanoes.
But in spite of these terrors men live
calmly on. Most men never study
nature, and so do not know these
things. Others read of them in their
school books and forget them along
with their Latin and mythology. On
ly the professional scientists keep
them ever in mind, and these are not
alarmed, for they know there is really
no safe place on earth, anyhow.

the Nations Capital,

ticn, made speech bristling with
sound business reasons for the re-elec-
tion of President Mckinley, in which
he said of his opponents: "The mod
ern democracy, composed Of populism,
anti-imperialism and socialism, Is a
wonderful production. 1t is politl-
cal phenomenon of ignorance, hypoc-
rlcy and deceit hitherto unknown in

WhseIman'S Athletic Club.

Everyone who has ever ridden
bicycle has wondered why some in
genious person has never invented a
puncture-proof tire.
The inconvenience resulting from a
punctured bicycle tire-the necessity
fer repairs and pumping in air again
hos led to the invention of a great
variety of expedients for preventing
suuh accidents. Some of these schemes
,.e more meritorious than others, but
all of them addd slightly to the weight
Of the machine. L. A. Osborn, of Say
brook, Ohio, proposes the following
plan: Along the lower surface of the
tire he would apply a very thin strip of
shcc. steeel or brass, half an inch wide,
across this, and +! Seted thereto, there
would be short strips of steel or brass,
little over an inch long and bent to
the form of the tire. The cross strips
would be placed close enough together
TO overlap slightly and would be plac-
cd alternately above and below the
longitudinal strip. Mr.. Osborn would
have this metal so thin that it would
not affect the elasticity of the tire, and
hardly increase its weight, Toughness
and resistance to puncture should be
the essential features. Mr.. Osborn
would apply the metal to the inner
tube of double tire. and not the out
side of single tire. He does not re-
port any actual test, however, to show
how we'll his plan would work.

Something About Them.

The Oil City Derrick contains the
following letter and answer.
Knowing you are authority on all
matters concerning oil production, l
take the liberty of asking you the fol-
lowing questions for the purpose of de-
Gliding bet. Was there ever an oil
well owned by the Kirkbride Bros. at
Gibsonburg, Ohio, that produced over
10000 bbls. of oil in "a hours? Was
there ever a well in the Mcdonald field
that produced $4,000 or over in any "a
tcars? Pipe line receipts to decide
in both cases. Thanking you for the
trouble in advance. H. A. Quay.

Murray we'll in Ohio, reported at 49,
600 bbls. day in June, 1891, but it
would be difficult to get an actual
guage of any such strike. In the Nc
Donald field, the Mevey we'll was cred
tied with a production of 900 or 700
bbls. an hour 1891, and the famous
Matthews well flowed for several days
at the same rate. On October II, 1891,
the Matthews we'll was making 720
bbls. an hour by actual guage. If this
rate could have been maintained it
would have given daily yield of over
1900 bbls. There were a number Of
wells in the Mcdonald field that made
all the way from 10000 to $4,000 bbls
a day. There is no doubt that $4,000
bbls. is not too high an estimate for a
days production of either the Mat
thews or Mevey gusher
