OIL IN CALIFORNIA.
An Interview with a wen Known eli
Expert.

~ InNeINAtA WIN = NNaa A.nVAA III
Expert.
A well-known oil expert has the fol-
lowing 20 say about the California oil
industry:
The oil production Of California Is
now about 4, 500, 600 barrels annually.
This output is being increased very
materially each month by the product
Of the new wells drilled to oil in the
different districts.
The question most frequently asked
me, especially by capitalists and those
interested or likely to be interested in
oil investments is: us there not a
possibility Of overproduetion Of oil in
California;"
There are two main belts extending
through the state, located on the east
ern and western shores Of ancient, pre-
historic seas. One Of these produces a
black and essentially fuel oil, and the
other a green or gas oil.
The black OF heavy oil makes an
ideal fuel as has been proven by 90
wears Of experience in Russia and in
this county.
In using oil as a fuel it is necessary
to exercise considerable judgment, and
10 know what kind of oil as we'll as
what kind OF a burner to use.
The two oils. the black and the
green, lie almost in two parallel belts
in California extending on the west
side Of the San Joaquin valley and run
ming north and south into northern and
southern California There is likewise
a similar condition on the east side OF
the san joaquin more OF less in evil
dence as Is shown by the outcroppings
and geological formation. The east
side OF the valley. however. has not yet
been prospected for oil as has the west
side, where developments have already
been, and where by far the largest
amount Of the oil output OF California
is at present obtained.
1t is true that many isr-seeing capt.
talists have entered into the oil bust
ness and have reaped rich financial re-
turns already. others have been too
conservative and are losing Opportuni-
ties which are fast being taken up by
Eastern capitalists, who are'rapidly sp.
preciating the chance California gives
for investments.

When aphides attack trees the best
remedy is strong soapsuds made OF
whale oil soap. Strong tobacco water
is aslo said to be excellent. The use OF
kerosene emulsion is sure remedy,
but it should be sprayed on the trees
so as to saturate all the branches, twigs
and leaves. In winter painting OF the
trunks and limbs with crude petrol
cum has given excellent results.

some dairymen have a measure and
give each COW the same quantity Of
iood. There can be no uniformly in
the allowance Of food. Some cows con-
sumo more than others. and cows that
are in full flow OF milk require more
food than the producers. The only
rule TO follow Is TO give each animal as
much as it will eat up clean if il is

Perfume and Disease.

A French physician has decided that
perfumes prevent people from taking Ger
tain diseases. During an epidemic his
attention was attracted 70 The fact that
persons who constantly used perfumes es-
capped taking the disease. But he found
that the more delicate perfumes, like vio-
let, lavender, altar of rose, when more
eficacious than musk and strong, rank es-
sences
Beeearia, the famous Italian botanist
long ago advised city officials to plant trees
and shrubs with odoriferous blossoms or
fragrant leaves along the highways, courts
and parks of cities, because these strong
odors produce ozone, and thereby purify
the air and make the city more healthful
to human beings confined to city streets or
narrow, sunless courts and alleys
Indeed nature teaches US some of her
delicate mysteries and farreaching pro
eesses when she plants tuberoses, orange
trees, the night blooming cereus and other
shrubs and blossoms with such rich and
oft well nigh overpowering odors in tropic
lands TO neutralize the danger of feyers
and malaria arising from dense vegetation
or damp. unwholesome marshes and rivers.
Who of us can resist the charm to the
senses Of great masses Of white and purple
lilac with countless bees murmuring round
the fragrant spikes of blossoms pure,
delightful perfumes not too strong in the
open air under the radiant sun of May
And lilacs are so vigorous, are easily grown
on any soil and very long lived. Only an
expert could tell how old some hlacs on a
great grandfather $ old place are, with the
gnarled trunks and vigorous masses Of
green and blossoms in May.

Orange buds and blossoms are the first
choice, but now and then are replaced by
small showing of lilies of the valley.
Chiffon or lace are the favorite garnitures
OH wedding gowns, and lace wells, espe-
cially if heirlooms, may of course replace
tulle.
Furs become now of special interest, and
view of c. C. Shayne' elegant styles,
some of which have been copied in Paris
and elsewhere in Europe, afford variety
sufficient to satisfy all tastes and require
ments. Jackets, in Persian lamb or seal,
are the delight of young fashionables, and
they are shown in jaunty Elton shapes,
reaching to the waist, or with short ad-
dition. Longer jackets extend over the
hips. Capes are the best selection for
matrons, particularly if inclined to en,boR
point. Desirable capes are in silk or fine
cloth. lined with squirrel lock fur, but the
choicest, of course, are shown in Persian
lamb or mink. Automobile coats have
great style, and are suited to both young
and elderly.
BoaS are in extraordinary sizes ana
lengths of three yards, the fluffy furs used
affording, of course, additional apparent
dimension Not iufrequently, however,
the boa proper may end at the waist or
sooner, and be finished by successive tails.
Collars and collaretteS are IN great demand
for wear over jackets, and have the ad-
vantage Of being useful in the summer.
They come in delightfully."- graceful shapes,
in both short and long haired furs, aud
many have heightened out ends in front,
though this is matter Of taste. Ermine
collars, collarettes and long capes are pur-
chased for evening wear .Mufs are usually
very large and are trimmed with tails, or
plain.

were chiefly worn and have not been quite
laid aside, but heavier goods, such as satin

choice of all, both formerly and at present,
being lace, that for quite youthful Lrides
is in lighter qualities than that selected for
brides Of twenty-five and upwards. The
extreme favor accorded to yokes is made
evident by their frequent Introduction in
