GEO. WYVELL
Leaves the Oil for the Show Business at the
Pan American Exposition.

On Saturday morning a deal was
concluded by the terms of which Geo
Wyvell disposed of his interests in the
firm Of Meisenhelder & Wyyell, oil
producers, dealers in leases and drill
ing machinery.
The purchasers are w. C. Ward, w.
l.. Corham and Chas. Meisenhelder
The property consisted of 115 acres Of
valuable oil property situated in Nor
gan county in the Buck Run develop
ment. At present there are several
wells with an average daily production
of six barrels. The holes have not
been cleaned out or shot and by taking
such action the purchasers believe
they can increase the production TO 80
or 40 barrels per day. Other wells will
be drilled and the leases, which ar
considered good property by the pres
ent owners. will be developed during
the summer. The consideration is
private.
Mr., Wyvell will go to Buffalo and
open show on the exposition grounds
during the Pan American fair. His
attractions will consist for the most
part of curosities in the animal an,
natural kingdom. One canvass viii
show a wonderful two-horned giant
another painting will represent a dew
man mot native in these parts) while
other progidies too numerous to men
ton, win attract visitors at the Pan
American. Mr.. Wyvell has packed VI
his household goods and will leave
this morning for Buffalo to prepare hi
show and get together his monstrosi
| ties.

INCREDIBLE SPEED.
Attained by balloon on a Recent
Trip Without Anyone to
Guide 1t.

1t seems incredible, yet it is a fact,
that in Germany few days ago a
balloon Travelled 100 miles in 75 min
utcs. The balloon eft Strassburg at
II a. IN. and arrived at Biberach at q
quarter past 12 p. m, being stopped
there by the branch of linden tree,
which held it fast. When it was eX-
amined a note was found saying that
il had left Strassburg al II "A. m. of
that day, and that any information
as to its subsequent movements would
be gratefully received by the Strass-
burg authorities. The news of its safe
arrival at Biberach, 100 miles distant
from Strasburg, was at once sent
to them, and on the following day
Prof. Dir. Hergesell arrived from
StrassbuTg and took charge of the bal
loon, says the New York Herald.
According to him, the first intention
of himself and his colleagues was to
send out a regular balloon with one
or two passengers, but on account OF
| he storm they were unable to do so
They then tried to send out large
| balloon fitted with a barometer and
other instrument, but the storm pre-
vented it from making any headwaS
and so finally they equipped a small
balloon with Instruments and sent il
| forth.
One of the Instruments, barometer
combined with thermometer showed
that the balloon had attained height
of 1000 metres, and another indicated
that the lowest temperature which il
had met was 25 degrees II, The bal
loon was made of vanished paper and
vas filled with coal gas. A basket
hung from it, and III order to shield
the sensitive instruments from the
rays of the sun it was covered witt
silver pnper.

How Royalty Pays Twice,

1t is not out of place to mention,
especially as the fact is never suffi.
GENTLY remembered when royal in.
comes are discussed, that royal per.
sonages have the dubious privilege
of paying at least twice as much for
nearly everything they buy as ordi'
nary murtals are charged. From a
diamond tiara to a breakfast roll, al.
most every article they order is
charged for by the royal purveyors
at double the price at which it can
be bought by private citizen. 1t is
not only that kings and princes can
not chatter and bargain, but it IS q
tradition with them-almost point
of etiquette, at any rate in this coun
try-not to inquire too curiously the
price of anything they wish to pur
chase. Practically, the only excep
tions to this unwritten law are wheI
the princess of Wales, for instance
goes shopping privately, in which cast
it is etiquette for tradesmen to ad
dress and deal with her as a private
person. But even then the royal per
sonage, if recognized, is usually out
rageously charged. For instance, tive
Christmases ago the princess of Wales
bought two or three of the little sill
yer "Trilby" feet that were so popu
lar that year. For these she wa
charged two pounds each, while tn
price marked on them in the windoy
was 22s. Gd.-Free Lance.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance OF
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appe-
tite, or to get tired easily, the least
imprudence brings on sickness, weak
ness or debility. The system needs Il
tonic, Graves it, and should not be de-
med it; and the best tonic of which
we have any knowledge is Hoods Sar-
saparilla. What this medicine has
done in keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even bal
ance of health, gives it the same dis
tinction as a preventative that it en-
joys as a cure. Its early use has il
lustrated the wisdom of the old saying
that stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, and en-
duIance.

FORESTS AMONG GLACIERS.
Long BeIt OF fTrccs Growing In Field
of Ice in Alaska on Thin
Layer of Soil.

Layer OF SOL.
In the ice-bound Businesses of
Alaska, visited only by the hardest
explorers. exists one OF the most GU
rious phenomena which q freakish
mood of nature has ever conceived.
1t is well-known fact that many
forms of vegetation, particularly sew
eral members of the tree family viii
exist and even thrive in spots appar-
entity incapable of supporting plant
life. Some of the curiosities in this
line which travellers report from time
to time are in themselves remarll-
able, vet when compared with what
Alaska has to show they seem COM
monplace. For Alaska lays claim to
nothing less than vast forest grow
ing in foundation of ice, says the
Philadelphia Record.
During recent years many explor-
crs who have penetrated to the most
| inaccessible parts of Alaska have
brought back with them accounts of
forest found growing at an alti-
| tude of several thousand meters, sur
rounded by glaciers and ice peaks
whose frozen surface is unrelieved
by particle of vegetation. These
accounts were met with considerable
skepticism until finally photographs
and other indubitablc evidences were
