Deepest Well.

The deepest well ever drilled was by
The Forest Oil Company, at West Eliz-
abeth Pa, twelve miles from Pitts
burg, Pa, when completed will be
5000 feet deep. 1t was started 100
feet below what is known as the Pitts
burg coal vein. There was only ono
string of casing in the well, 6H and
nine hundred feet deep. At the depth
of 2,2S5 feet flow of gas was struck
which was sufficient to make steam to
drill the rest of the hole. At $500 feet
the temperature was 120 degrees, at
that rate the heat was equal to the
boiling point of water-212 degrees
would be found at the depth of 5000
feet. At the depth of $500 feet the
crown pulley broke and cut the rope
and dropped the tools 100 feet, which
caused stay of proceedings.
To drill well to this depth it was
necessary to have extra heavy machin-
cry. They used two 25 horse power
engines, two 25 horse power boilers,
three bull ropes 16-inch belt, 1872 foot
band wheel, 8 inch forged shaft and
crank, Az foot fianges, two brakes on
bullwheels, and two cables spliced to-
gether making about 5000 feet. One
cable, "a inches in diameter, and
weighing 5000 pounds, was used
at the bottom of the well, and the
cable that was used at the top of the
hole was 2M inches in diameter and
weighed S,400 pounds, making a total
weight of $4,000 pounds and cost about
$1,7O0. The tools used to drill with
were the ordinary size. Approximate
cost of the well is about $4,000.

TendereSt Tribute.

The most touching story have heard
in connection with the death and fun
eral of the late Queen Victoria con.
Germs the three of the most important
little personages in England-her great
grandchildren, the daughter and two
sons of the Duke of Cornwall and York.
While the body of Victoria lay in state
at Osborn house these little ones
watched with interest and curiosity the
arrival of floral tributes from Kings
and Queens and Emperors, from public
societies and private subjects, and by
questioning learned their significance.
The day before the funeral they came
to their mother with bunch OF shorS
stemmed flowers, which evidently had
been picked by themselves in the con-
servatories, tied awkwardly together
with an ordinary string. A card at
tached bore this inscription: From
Edward and Albert and Baby writ
ten in childish hand with the name
of the first, the writer. misspelled.
Three attepmts had been made to cor
rect the error, and as a natural result
the card was blotted and soiled, but
this little tribute was given the place

coon WEATHER FOR CORy.

The hot wave seems to be general
 all over the country, and special in this
 region. The efforts of the fair Com mencement women to look their pret- | tiest have been strenuous, but not en- tirely successful. Of course they have looked pretty enough, but not as pretty as they can look under the most fav- orable conditions. Ninety degrees of
 heat Is not most favorable condition. But while they have been wilting there is that which hasn't been willing. It is
 corn. These are just the days that
 corn has been waiting for. It has
 struggled persistently through a rather
 cool and backward springtime, and now it is having it's reward. While we
 who bear fardels grunt and sweat un-
 der weary life corn Is rejoicing In
 the sunshine and waving in the glee of it's chance to grow. How different this from the partisans of the Yale
 baseball nine. They didn't get a chance to rejoice in the sunshine or wave in glee, They rooted fiercely in the sunshine and waved in anxiety, and all to no purpose. Is it, then, better to be corn? No, but it is good to re- member that while sweat flows corn grows, and that some things work to- gether for good to those who like john ny-cake. Let us then, with our eyes patiently endure that which is good for it's green time. Of course we are of more value than much corn, but much corn is worth having.

HELPING HUMANITY.

How English Royalty Does It-The | May Meetings--County Clergymen l and Their Wives and Daughters | Great and Enthusiastic Gatherings 1 The Aristocracy Following the Lead | of the Throne.
 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: London, June 12.-To one specially in-
 terested in movements for helping hu-
 manity, there is hardly any line of ob-
 servation more pleasing than to note the relation to these movements of
 English royalty, and of those standing next to royalty, who in good things, as
 we'll as In some things not so good, take
 their cue from the reigning family and
 in turn pass it on as a guide to that
 great English middle class, which fur
 nishes just as much money to such re- forms, and even a greater amount of
 brains, but which still, lacking the pat ronage of the very highest classes, could not in country like this insure the full success of these movements. One of the papers has just given us an editorial admission of the dependence of Englishmen upon royal initiative, at which, l am sure, every American will smile, if he doesn't happen to be too much disgusted with 1t The picture it draws is that of all properly dressed Britons sweltering these hot days be- heath what 1t calls ''the fiery furnace uf q silk hat" and still nowerless to make any change. Only the king, it says. can relieve them. With an inde pendence of thought which seems al- most reckless this editor admits that "straw hats and flannels' are the pro- per thing for such weather as the last fortnight has brought. "But what use is there in preaching?" he asks. ''The king alone has any power in the mat ter, and until he moves, unhappy men, with that British stolidity which is the foundation of our national greatness, will still try to appear comfortable in clothes that were suitable to the weather of two months ago"

IORTABAE CHURCHES.

They are using portable schoolhouses out vest and the Reformed Church in Pennsvlvania is thinking seriously of using portable churches for congrega- tions not yet financially able to erect permanent buildings. These movable churches are made of corrugated gall vanized iron. fastened to wooden framework, which framework is covered on the inside with Q wainscoting, lining the whole side and ceiling. Between the iron and these match boards is a space of four inches, which keeps out dampness; the sides and roof are lined with heavy felt which gives warmth in winter and protection from heat in the summer.

The government has plenty of money, and for that and other reasons it is pre- pairing soil map of the United States which the officials say will be one of the great national achievements of the twentieth century. It will cover the entire United States and will be on such a scale that every ten-acre patch in the country will be represented by an eight inch square on the map. By the color in which these eight-inch squares are printed will be indicated the exact na- ture of the soil of the ten acres of land which they represent. The government intends to distribute gratis sections of the map to farmers in the various To- calities so that it will be possible for every farmer to know just what crop will bring him the greatest return. If he has a forty-acre cornfield and has noticed that one portion of 1t yields much heavier crops than another all he will have to do will be to look at his soil map and see what the difference in the soil is Then next year he can plant some other crop in the land which is not adapted for corn. It Is expected that it will take some years to complete the map, for 1t is stupendous under taking. Agents of the government will be assigned to townships and they will carefully ascertain the character of the soil. Then these will be placed togeth- CT into counties and counties into States until finally the entire country is map ped.

FNTERPRTSTNG CANADIANS.

| All the enterprise isn't in this coun- l try The Canadians are planning to
 make 8 new canal via Georgian bay,
 French river, Lake Nipissing, the Mat treal, a distance of 430 miles. The l level will rise sixty feet from Lake Huron to Nipissing and fall thence 621 feet to Montreal. The depth is to be
 nineteen feet so as to accommodate the large freighters of the lakes and
 avoid transhipments. Canada will thus
 have an all water route greatly su-
 perior to the existing American water
 route via the Erie canal. The distance
 by 1t from Chicago to Montreal is but
 905 miles, whereas the distance from
 Chicago to Buffalo is 900 miles, and the
 Erie canal mileage is so much extra.
 As to the cost of transportation by
 the Canadian route. it will be so much sure to take the business. If the cal culations of the promoters of the Geor- gian bay project are correct they will be able to deliver grain at Montreal for three cents a bushel less than it can be taken to any of the Atlantic ports of the United States. That is to say, grain can be delivered at Montreal, exclusive of any toll, for 1 12 cents per bushel, as against a rate from Chicago to Buffalo of 1 IA cents per bushel. From Buffalo to the seaboard it is claimed that at least IA cents per bushel must be added, so that the Mon treal rate would be one third of the present cost.
 It is figured that to construct through the State of New York a waterway that will accomplish for the commerce of the lakes as much as the Georgian bay route proposes to do would cost at least $2O0, ,00000O. As that isn't much money for these times perhaps such will be made.

STILL FOR PRINCIPLE ES.

President Mckinley has said that he
 is not candidate for third term, and would not accept a nomination for it if
 it were rendered him. William Jen-
 nings Bryan says he is not candi-
 date for a third nomination, but he doesn't say that he wouldn't take just one more nomination if 1t were tender ed him. What he does say is this: T am not only not a candidate for any for any office. My interest centers in principles, and men are important only as they aid in carrying out these prln- ciples. The Democratic party stands for definite, positive principles, and un- less I mistake the sentiments of the masses the voters will insist upon ad- herring to these principles in spite of the threats of reorganiZers. Those who argue from the standpoint of expedi- ency will not have influence with the voters, because no one can say what Is expedient. We may deserve to win and yet lose, but 1t still remains that to de- serve to win Is the surest road to sue cess.'
 This doesn't indicate much change in Brother Bryan, and there are those who think that he intends to take another nomination for himself, or name the man to whom it will be given. And they think he can do it too. If this is correct the poor old Democratic mule is indeed heavy-laden.

Baron Kanda, of Tokio, who is trav- cling through Europe Investigating the different school systems, reports that in Japan great efforts are being made to teach the pupils of the public schools the English language. He says that already the study of English is an obli- gatory subject in the Japanese middle schools, to which boys go at about the age of twelve for five-year course. During that entire period in these schools at least one hour day is de- voted to English He further said that so far the methods of instruction have not been entirely satisfactory, and this was the reason for his making such a careful study of the way English was taught in the schools and universities of Europe. Already Japan has adopted very largely the system by which Eng fish is taught in India, and Baron Kan da Is quoted as saying that the text books edited for use in the Indian schools have been found most apt in Japan.

H. s. Ralston, Scotchnan, who Is a member of the Board of Curators of the University of Edinburgh, is visiting in Kansas City, and tells the Journal
 of that city, that the recent offer made by Andrew Carnegie to endow the edu- cational institutions of Scotland creat- ed the most unparalleled excitement among the Scot tish people. He declares that on giving the matter sober consid- eration himself and his brother cura- tors had decided that the unmodified gift would create revolution in Scotch educational circles and would tend to cheapen the value of an education in the eyes of the people. 'Consequent- Iy," adds MT. Ralston, i've advised MT. Carnegie that his munificent gift would have to be modified before we could &C., cept it.
