when we first. instituted our tests for

surgeon who was recently in New Orleans
on a visit. according to the Tmes-Dsmo-
crat. some curious things occurred at the
examinations. and In that connection I can
tell you rather an interesting little story.
I had given orders for the men to report

pipe. with valve at the bottom. The
bailer is let down Into the well. where
1t is filled with oil through the bot
tom valve, and is then raised by n
hoisting engine until Just above the
top OF the well. The operator then
places a wooden cap over the top OF
the well, lowers the bailer gently so
that the valve rests on the cap and
opens. allowing the oil to flow out in
all directions. being conducted by
means OF trenches to receiving pool.
The operator then draws the bailer up
few inches. removes the cap from the
we'll and lets the bailer, drop down
again to near the bottom OF the we'll.
Care Is taken not to bail from near
the bottom. on account Of the SAND
and salt water, which are apt to ac-
cumulate there. The time consumed
In lowering. raising and dIscharging
the bailer OF 1000 foot well is only
about one minute for round trip. and
the whole operation is conducted by
one man. who starts and stops the
hoisting engine. controls the brake on
the drum and empties the bailer.. Many
experiments have been tried with
pumps on the American system. and
tosta are now boing mado on n larger
scale by using air lifts. but the great
quantity Of sand In the oil and the
danger Of losing tho whole apparatus
by an explosion Of gas make the bailer
system more favorable from practi-
cal and economical point OF view.

The most productive oil fields In
Russia are to be found in the vicinity
Of Baku. The field at All, Baba is
nearer to the city. but 1t is not SO
large in extent nor SO productive as
Balakhani. which lies ten miles to the
northeast. says Z. II. Foster in Cas-
sier's Magazine. Both of these towns
are one mass OF derricks and engine
houses and everything about the place
appears to be saturated with petro-
ieum. Borings are constantly being
made and oil is generally found at a
depth OF 500 to 1000 feet. A
few years ago 1t was common to open
up large spouting wells. but these have
fallen on considerably during later
years: occasionally. however, a foun-
tain is produced. and It sometimes
happens that an explosion OF gas in n
we'll that is being pumped not only
blows all the apparatus out OF the tube.
but produces q natural flow Of the oil
to the surface. Well tubes are usually
started from l6 to IS Inches in dame
ter. being much larger In this respect
than In American practice. These d.
nmeters are reduced as tho depth In
creases, the last section OF tubing bo-
Ing hardly more than from eight to
ten Inches In diameter. The most sue
cessful system Of working the wells
In this district is by the use of the
bailer. which consists Of thirty or

For year many thousands of un-
fortunate Porto Ricans have been liv-
ing on an extremely meager diet, and
in spite Of all the aid given by the
United States. the number who have
died from starvation has been fright
ful. The chapter Of misfortune did
not end here. for many other thous-
ands were left In such an enfeebled
state that disease claimed them ns
easy victims. and the death rate all
over the island and particularly In
Ponce has been shocking. 1t was the
lower classes among whom the high
rate of Immortality existed. These peo-
pie were Of small endurance. badly
infected with a disease which stifYens
the joints. their surroundings were un-
hygienic to the last degree, and they
always were on the verge OF sickness,
30 1t needed only the last straw to
break them down. The breaking point
came in the fearful hurricane which
swept over the island. killed and
MANNED the population. devastated the
fields. and caused stagnation of busi-
ness. Many Americana who came
promptly to the relief OF the new
wards of the nation undoubtedly be-
lieved that the charitable efforts first
put forth would be sufficient to set the
natives of the island on their feet
again. With a more vigorous people
perhaps these measures would have
been enough. But nature had Joined

with mankind in producing this IN
ferior class of Porto Ricans. and the
people were not Of the kind who can
lift themselves above their surround
ings. About 40 per cent Of the deaths
credited to Ponce occur In the outside
districts, and these cases seldom are
seen by physicians. Even the re-
naming so per cent do not represent
properly the city's proportion, as large
numbers. which 1t is impossible to es-
Innate, come in on their last legs from
every nook and corner in the island
and die in the city. Ponce is known
all over the island as being charitable
on account of Its hospitals and various
charitable institutions. 1t leads In
private systematic work along the line,
and thus becomes the Mecca OF the
sick and destitute. The lower classes
are a mixture OF Spanish, Indian. and
negro blood, the latter predominant
