OH Productions in West virginia.

The prodigions progress Of oil
production in West Virginia is best
shown by the following fgnres, Civ
ing in round numbers the barrels Of
oil produced each year from 1890 to
1900, inclusive:
1890, 100000 barrels.
1891, 100000 barrels.
1892, nearly 1000, 900 barrels.
1898, 8,500,00O barrels.
1894, about the same.
1896, 5000, 600 barrels.
1896, 100000 barrels.
1897, 100000 barrels.
1899, 100000 barrels.
1900, nearly 100000 barrels.
West Virginia now produces the
greatest quantity Of the best petro-
leum in the world The @white
sand Of West Virginia is the purest
oil known. The total product before
1890 amounted toless than 5, 900, 900
barrels. Since 1890 West Virginia
produced nearly Ioo,o00,0o0 barrels
of petroleum.
The production OF natural gas has
gone along with that of petroleum,
until now the state stands first also
in the yield Of this unequaled tuel.
All of the towns West of the noun
tains are now supplied with gas,
with the result that their industries
are growing at great rate. Prac-
tically all the power used in drilling
wells, in pumping the pipe lines, in
the water supply and in all the
works connected with the petroleum
industry, is obtained BY the con-
sumption of gas.-Manufacturer's

the pressing necessity OF the case.

vertisement made of it SO that any
who may desire to be heard on the
matter may have chance to come
before council with their state
ments.

iod OF twenty years and is for the
purpose of supplying gas for fuel,
light, heat and manufacturing pur-
poses and for lighting the town if a
contract shall be made with the
company to that end. The gas If
sold by meter is not to exceed TWEEN
ty Gently thousand feet. II by the
fire the cook stoves are not to ex-
eeed SI25 and other fires 81. Lights
for houses are not to be more than
ten cents a month.
The city is to be given twenty
lights fer lighting the streets free Of
charge so long as the franchise
shall be in operation. The company
agrees to furnish additional lights
at the rate of forty cents light a
month il open lights are used or ten
cents month if city lights are
used. The city is to pay for keep
ing the lights in repair but the com
pany is to make all necessary re-
pairs.

The Tailor Bird.

This wonderful bird lives in India. 1t
has n beak shaped very much like a
shoemaker's awl. The little bird Is en-
tirely yellow in color and Is only three
inches long. 1t derives its name from
the way in which 1t makes it's nest. 1t
selects Il large leaf hanging from the
end Of a twig, then it pierces n number
Of holes along the edge of 1t with this
awllike beak and then gets h long
fbers Of plants, which make excellent
thread, and carefully sews the edges to-
get{,er like Il purse or bag, using its bill
for a needle to carry the thread through.
The ends of the thread are knotted so
as to entirely prevent them from slip
ping through the leaf. The stalk end Of
the leaf is bent and crushed so IS to
form Il hood over the opening of the
nest, protecting it from the sun and the
rain. But what is very strange, when
the leaf is not large enough to make
the nest this bright little bird gets an
other leaf, pierces it with holes II
pieces the two leaves together. The in
terror Of the nest is lined with cotton
and silky grass, making q very snug
and comfortable home for the little
birds. The bird and its nest full Of eggs
are so very light that they can be sus-
pended from the end Of a slender twig.
Would it not be interesting to watch
this little tailor selecting the leaves and
the thread and then piercing the holes
ready to sew the leaves together to
make for itself a comfortable little
home?

FOR H CHILDREN
Rat Catching on Board ship.


Chatting with some friends recently
the captain of a big freight steamer
now taking on cargo at this port told
scme queer stories about rats. says q
reporter of the New Orleans Times
Democrat. Il have the ship cleaned
out by professional rat catchers when
ever we touch at Liverpool" he said,
"and between times we try to keep
them down by trapping, but It's hard
work. We don't dare to use poison.
If we did, the hold would be full Of
dead rats, and the stencil would breed
a fever. Our traps are Of the wire
cage pattern, and considerable craft
has to be used in setting them, for a
ship rat is a very cunning beast. and
he will steer clear Of decoys that his
landlubber brothers walk into with
their eyes wide open. If we simply
baited the traps in the ordinary way
and left them about in the hold, we
wouldn't catch a dozen in n year. Our
plan is this: On the first night we open
the trap doors and tie them in that po-
sitlon with bits of string, SO they can't
possibly spring shut. Then we put
scraps of old cheese inside and leave
them until the following evening.
That's to reassure the rats that the
strange wire contrivances are perfectly
harmless End that they may enter in
with Il certainty of getting out again.
The next night we renew the bait and
take off the strings, and. as a general
thing, we catch all that the cages will
hold. l have seen them so full that 1t
seemed impossible to get another rat
inside, which is pretty good evidence,
as l take it, that they can't communi-
cate with each other and give the
alarm. There is nothing new about the
trick l describe. 1t is practiced or all
big ships when the rats get too bad"
