Among the latest to join the ranks
Of those who think that i abucolic ex-
sistence is conducive to the best results
of civilization is Rider Haggard. He
is now busily employed, not in the Gre
alton of new novel, but in trying to-
master agricultural problems. Mr..
Haggard is now living on his farm at
buckingham, in Norfolk, and will
shortly start out to make tour of
Ireland and. Scotland for the purpose
OF studying agricultural methods and
conditions in those two countries. A
tall, handsome fellow is Rider Hag-
gard, in his forty-first year, bearded
and powerfully built, with the appear
ance of a man capable of doing many
years OF good work yet. Mr.. Haggard
may be considered as anything but a
lazy man. Besides looking after his
200-acre farm, he is chairman Of the
local bench of magistrates, and at the
same time is probably doing more lit
erary work than at any previous part
Of his career. His country house is
an ancient, red-brick UNCOVERED

Mud Is Forever
Boiling

Among the wonders Of the Yellow
stone National Park none excites more
interest than what are known as "the
paint pots" or boiling mud springs.
Into one Of thes caldrons two women
tourists recently fell and were seri-
ously .,scalded. There are several
groups Of these springs in the parks,
one tof the largest Of which occupies
a space 800 yards in length by rs in
width, In what is known as the valley
OF Alum creek, near the Crater hills.
A second group Is near the wall of the
grand canyon Of the Yellowstone, four
miles below Yellowstone lake and six
miles from the Crater hills. This
group occupiesfa space three acres in
extent and it. is said the springs pre-
sent a magnificent sight when in the
course of eruption.
The principal spring is called the
Blue Mud Pot: and is IS feet in diam
eter. It is near 1.-THE large sulphur
spring and when in tranquil state
looks like q lake of blue mud. The
contents Of the spring are more like
muddy water than thick mud, although
,at times the mud has a consistency Of
mortar. In some portions Of the
spring various degrees of consistency
are found, ranging from the muddy
water state to a thickness of common
mortar.
There are no particular times Of
eruption from these springs, and al
though they are in groups or are very
close together, not more than two feet
separating some of them, there seems
to beno connection between them, and
they arc oof different colors. Various
fshadeslof brown, red, pink, blue. Law
ender and gray are to be found, and
when all Of them are spouting together

times mount as high as 40 feet, and
IN falling form an edge around the tur-

take their names. In the valley Of
the Alum creek, where the Blue Mud
pot is found, tourists observe puffs Of
mud rising from the surface for over
300 yards.

In these smaller springs there IL

suit AgaIn.t Ru..oII sage.

New York, June 19.-In the supreme
court of this State suit for $4,000
has just been brought against Russell
Sage, who introduced the business Of
trading in puts" and calls" by Rob
ert d. Vroom, who for years has been
accustomed to buy these privileges
from him. The action is an outgrowth
of a difficulty which occurred on May
8, the day of the panic. Mr., Vroum
came into Mr.. Sage's Office on the
morning of that day, having among
other puts" sold 500 shares of Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific. The
stock which Mr. Vroom had then been
selling so low according to the tape
that if he could buy them about those
figures he could then deliver them to
Mr.. Sage at the figure named in his
puts" and make net profit of many
thousands. He handed his privileges
to Mr. Sage-who has them yet-ond
asked the financier to buy in the stocks
for him as broker, whereupon he
would then sell them to Mr. Sage at
the put" price. From this point the
stories diyerge. Mr.. Sage said re-
Gently in discussing the matter:
Rock Island was selling at 100 when
Mr.. vroom who held my puts" on
500 shares at prices ranging from lao
to 1853 gave me an order to buy it at
the market turned the order in to
my brokers' But the tape was twenty
five minutes behind time and the prics
they had to pay was 155. OF course
this showed no profit to Mr.. Vroon.
but could not help it,"
j. H. Miller, the plaintiffs attor-
ney, said in the course of an inter-
view, explaining his clients side OF
the case "Mr. Vroon demanded
back the privileges, but could not get
them Now those privileges were
worth more than the actual profit that
could have been made on them in the
transactions he authorized Mr.. Sage
to make. We think we have good
case"
Mr.. Sage. through his counsel, has
obtained an extension Of time until
June 80 in which to file his answer.

New York, June 19-"The st. Louis
exposition of 1908. in commemoration

The senator is a member of the ST.
Louis exposition committee which
was chosen to represent the interests
of the United States government at
the fair. He continued: What makes
me think that the fair will be I'M

New York, June 19.-The Tribune
says: Horatio S. Rubens, formerly
counsel to the Cuban junta in this city.
who came here a few days ago from
Cuba, will return to Cuba this week
to report to the friends of General T.
Estrada Palma on the possibility OF
General Palma's accepting the nomi-
nation for the presidency of Cuba.
General Palma came down from Cen
trail Valley, N. ", to talk with Mr.,
Rubens and although he said that he
did not want to run, Mr.. Rubens thinks
he can be persuaded to accept the nom
nation. Mr.. Rubens said; General
Palma is not seeking office, but l do
not think he will be able to resist the
demands of the people of Cuba. They
are almost a unit for him. Palma
made himself popular with the Cubans
by the way he conducted the affairs OF
the Cuban junta in this city. A genius
is not needed as president of Cuba, but
an honest. man. The only possible OPP
ponent of Palma is General Barthol-
omew Masso, the vice president Of
the revolutionary provincial govern
ment in Cuba. The election probably
will be held in autumn and the inaug-
uration of the president in January"

Sour Lake, Texas June 21.-Eha
well which was tapped by the Sucey
Petroleum company last week came in
as gusher yesterday afternoon. II
was not expected and when the stream
of oil rose in the air there was gem
eral stampede on the part of the resi-
dents and visitors to get a sight of it.
There was no doubt it was a gtlsher.
and the stream of oil went fifty feet
above the pipe; not a solid stream, be-
cause there was a four-inch pipe in
side the siX-lnoh and this gave the APP
pearance of spray rather than of a
solid stream. 1t is also probable that
this also prevented the oil going as
hight as it would have done had it had
full play
No effort was made to test thu
strength of the flow. but it was the
general opinion that the capacity OF
the well as it was then flowing was
about 10000 barrels. The exact man
ner in which this result was arrived
at cannot be told but there were sew
eral prospectors who claimed to be ex-
per toll men and who had seen the
Beaumont wells gush, and all Of them
agreed on 10000 barrels.
AS soon as the fact became apparent
to the people in charge of the well
that it had gotten beyond control.
they began the work of trying to shut
1t off and prevent gushing, forcing
water down the inside pipe at as high
pressure as they could command in Or
der to stop the oil from coming up.
This partially succeeded and the flow
rapidly diminished but it continued
to spout long enough for several scores
Of people to give evidence as to the
height attained
Some time ago when the first vein
was struck the company had fence
put up to keep people away from it.
When the second vein was reached
and drilling was stopped guards were
placed at the well to prevent any tam
pering with the cap. 1t is the general
opinion that the gas, which was very
strong, prevented perfect control Of the
flow and that the oil came before the
men expected it. The drill pipe was
not blown out though the gas was
sufficient to send the oil through the
pipe despite the water pressure.
