A Plunge in Oil.

There is a story told of Mr.. Rookie
feller's first venture in the oil business
Indeed, he has been known to tell the
story himself, with evident apprecla-
ton of its humOr. 1t was away back in
the early sixties, when he was engaged
in the grain business in Cleveland
Ohio
One Of his customers, a Mr.. Breed
was the owner Of an oil well at Titns'

is being used to make steam, which in
turn runs an engine to pump water.
Famous John Ericsson devoted years
of thought and experiment to his sun
motor, but it was never perfected. The
motor shown in the illustration has,
however reached the stage of success
full application, and is now on exhibit
ton as a practicable machine, working
a 15-horse-power engine capable Of
lifting 1,400 gallons of water a minute
The main feature of this sun motor is
huge affair like a glass umbrella
minus the handle. 1t is furnished with
1,S00 mirrors, each about two feet long
and three inches wide. 1t swings on
circle thirty-fve feet in diameter and
concentrates the SUMS rays on a boiler
having a capacity of 100 gallons. 1t

EXPENSES OF AN AMBASSADOR.
Sixty Thousanl a Year Required at the
European Capitals.

Sixty THOUSAND a Year Required at the
European Capitals.
Unlike other governments, ours
makes no extra allowance for the liv-
ing expenses of its representative. Thus
it is that many times an important for
eign mission has been declined-for
financial reasOns-by the able states
man to whom it was proffered. If one
accepts such a post he naturally fees
in duty bound to live up to the stand
ard set by his predecessors. AMI this
usually means that he must have a
large private fortune to draw upon
There have been few instances where
such positions have been held by men
unable to maintain great establish
ments. but who have unwisely at
tempted it by mourning obligations
which they could not meet, thus bring
ing themselves and their government
to humiliation. Diplomatic agents are
without the pale of the common law of
the countries where they are stationed.
and If bills are left unpaid creditors
have absolutely no recourse.
There is a large financial advantage
to diplomat if he is bachelor, for
it Is then understood that he has no
special obligations in a social way. If
he be personally popular he viii he
overwhelmed with invitations, but
need never use any in return except to
such small parties of friends as he may
care to entertain in his chambers or at
a restaurant. The most of the diplo-
matte corps, however. are married
men, for their governments know that
upon the social administration by the
mistress of the household depends in
no small part the success of the official
side of the residency.
A diplomatic residence in any of the
larger European capitals may easily
mean an annual expenditure of from
forty thousand to fifty thousand dol
lars. Only rich men are therefore ELI
gible for these posts, and thus n false
standard of wealth is being raised as a
test for diplomatic preferment. 1t is
likely that before long our government
will lease and furnish permanent
houses for its ambassadors and minis
ters in the principal foreign countries.
and this will go a long way toward
correcting a grave fault in the present
system. Our ambassador to st. Pc
tersburg had to do house hunting for
six months, and was almost In despair
of finding a suitable residence. AS il
is. he pays more in rates than even
the ambassador in London, and it is
said the rental is more than a thou,

kissing and Non-Kissing Families.

Kissing and Non-Kissing Families.
The New York Sun says that kissing
among relatives goes by families, and
it is quite true that certain households
are known to all their friends as great
kissers." The members. men. women
and children, kiss each other the first
thing in the morning and the last thing
.at night, and on any other occasion
that they consider sufficiently emo
tiOnal.
Still one may go too far the other
way. A woman who came of a kissing
family married a man who came of
non-kissing stock. At one time her hus-
band went to the railway station to
meet son who had been absent from
home for two years, and on his return
the wife said:
What did you do when you first saw
Jack? aid you kiss himT'
''NAIesz faltered the husband and
father, ''of course didn't kiss him"
I'm tell you what he said to me. =
volunteered the son. "He said: We'll,
Jack, was your train on timer"

Alexander of Caesar who ever lived

how to make steam with sunshine, but
the discovery has hitherto taken an ex-

Perhaps this should have been expect

He sank into the tarry mud nearly

happened to be new and light-colord.
1t took us half an hour, working with
barrel-staves, to scrape off the tar, so
that he could walk. His first remark
after he was out of the bayou was:

1t is n singular fact that the only le-
CATION buildings owned by the United
States Government are those in the
capitals Of China and Japan. In capt.
tails of other countries Uncle Sam pays
rent, although it is believed that he
does not save money by the operation.
This country would not own It's lega
ton real estate IN Toxic and Pekin,
doubtless, had not the sites been pre-
scented by Japan ana China respective
ly. Even with the free land to begin
with, Congress would not build home
for the American minister to Japan.
He was therefore compelled to erect
legation building at his own expense.
1t was good Investment, however be-
cause for thirty years or more he rented
II to his successors at n rate that paid
him an excellent rate of interest. Two
or three years ago he refused to make
the necessary repairs, and Congress
appropriated the money for a new
building. The legation building at
Pekin was erected by the United States
Government at small cost and since
then other Inexpensive houses nave
been put up for offices, but the accom-
modatons have been inconvenient and
unnecessarily humble. The late Con
gress authorized the erection of a lega-
ton building at Pekin commensurate
with the prominent position this coun-
try has taken in Chinese affairs. Forty
thousand dollars will be spent in ac-
quiring additional ground and laying
the foundation for the new building.
1t is characteristic of American deal
ings with weak nations that the Presi-
dent has instructed the PelSin legation
to pay a fair price for the land, al
though the European governments
have simply conhscated the property
they want.

The increased interest which wom-
en- Of the present day take in public
matters is well shown by the number
Of "Current-Topic Glasses" which
have come into existence within n
few years. The purpose Is to gain a
reasonable knowledge of the great
questions of the day. There may be
few members or many, and wide DIFF
ferences OF opinion may, and, In fact,
usually do, exist within the class; but
that does not matter. Once n week.
or once in two weeks. the members
meet, and Il teacher, or leader, pre-
sents matters of public interest and
Importance as clearly and extensively
as possible. Afterward questions are
asked and answered. and the discussion
becomes general. The success Of such
an association depends much upon the
ability Of the teacher, who may be
some one hired for the purpose, or Il
member who has enjoyed greater edu-
catiOnal advantages and has more
leisure than her fellows. 1t is not nee
essary that the presentation of matters
under discussion be cOlorless. Quite
as good results are often obtained
when the leader expresses his or her
own convictions. The object is not
merely to form an opinion on such evil
dence as may be presented at the meet
ings, but to learn what Is the prevail
ing opinion of those who have given
the subject most attention and are
best qualified to judge. Nevertheless
the leader should be fair and capable
of seeing both sides of the matter
