OIL LAKE ON FIRE.

AS has for some time been feared
the oil which flowed from the Beau
mont oil gusher caught fire, but it was
extinguished before it did any dam
age. The fire was discovered by ire
mendous cloud of smoke of intense
blackness which rose like huge chain
of mountains in the neighborhood of
the well and hung there for several
hours The sight of the cloud filled the
people with awe, for it was feared that
it would spread all over the country
over which the oil from the Lucas
gusher has spread. The fire was not
in the lake proper, but in some oil
which had overf1own the lake and it
would have soon reached the main lake
had it not been extinguished. How it
started is a mystery and how it was
extinguished is not stated in the re-
port.

TEXAS swINDLER CAUGHT.

A dispatch from Paris says that
Thomas Woodson, under sentence of
the Paris federal court. for using the
mails to defraud. who broke Jail three
years ago. has been captured at Shreve-
port, La. There was a government re-
ward for his apprehension.
Although a green country boy, only
90 years old. and innocent in appear
ance. he perpetrated the most extern
sive and successful swindling OPERA
lions for awhile ever conducted in this
section. His plan was to start in bus
mess, buy goods on credit sell them
for whatever he could get and pocket
the proceeds. He succeeded in estab-
fishing credit with New Orleans, Mem
phis. st. Louis, Chicago, and other
wholesale houses and jewelry manu-
facturers throughout the east. He new
er did business in one place longer
thana few weeks. When his credit
played out. he bobbed up somewhere
else to repeat the process under an
other name. He victimiZed the Sim
mons Hardware company and several
other st. Louis houses at different
places under different names. and
sometimes at the same place under an
other name. Sometimes he had the
freight shipped to stations where there
were no agents, and the victims had to
pay the freight beside losing Their
goods.

PREPARING FOR WORK.

The company which has the contract
for constructing the interurban cleo
trio line between FIT. Worth and Dallas
is getting every thing ready to COM
mence the work the first of next week.
Forty teams have been engaged so far
and others will be engaged. The plan
is to work in gangs of about twenty
teams each. The electric line will be
built near the T. & P. track all the
way and may cross it once on the way.
Routes on each side of the railroad
track have been surveyed and 1t has
not been definitely decided which
will be used.
A DEEPLY BURIED LOG.
While man was boring a we'll near
Paris he encountered log at depth
of sixteen feet. 1t was twenty four
inches thick. Bits of wood which the
drill pulled up indicated that the wood
is cottonwood. 1t was not petrified or
rotton, but in a good state of preser-
walton. Forest trees half century or
a century old are growing all around
the spot. The mystery is how the tree
could have gotten SO far beneath the
surface After the drill passed
through the log it struck quicksand
in which was an abundant stream of
water.

MOTHER OF PEARL CLOUDS.
Celestial Phenomena Observed b,
the Danish Polar Expedition
Scientists.

The last Danish expedition which
was sent to the polar regions to study
the aurora borealis observed the So
called mother of pearl Clouds which
are described in the reports of the
Danish Academy of Sciences. These
clouds resemble the so-called Shining
Clouds" These formations were given
their singular name by the Norwegian
meteorologist, Prof. Mohn. The Dan
ish twice had an opportunity of seeing
such celestial phenomena. Once they
succeeded in measuring the distance
of these clouds above the earth, which
was found to be about 40 kilometers,
says the London Standard.
The second time measuring was not
possible, because all the members of
the expedition were in on place, but
they were able to make some remark
able observations about the movement
of the cloud. At first it looked like
horizontal band in the southwestern
horizon at height of 80 or IS degrees.
Then it moved slowly toward the east,
stopped and finally returned to it's
original position. During its retro
grade motion part of the cloud was
torn off, the fragment assuming cir
cular shape, and floating alone with
rapidity of one degree in four seconds
toward the south. Having passed
through seven degrees of the frma-
ment, this small cloud was dissolved.
It is evident that these motions are
peculiar to the mother of pearl
Clouds" because another cloud which
was in the same tract of sky at the
same time remained motionless. The
color of these formations at the edge
was mostly red, but toward the middle
it changed from rose color to green.
The clouds were visible in broad day.
light about noon. An observation
through the spectroscope gave only
the#lines of the common spectrum of
the#sky at daylight, together with
some absorption lines, which indicate
great quantity of vapor. TWAS, per-
haps, the strong sunlight which pre-
vented the observation of any pecu-
liarities in the spectrum of these
clouds.
Their motion cannot be caused by
anywind. Prof. Pou1sen, the head oE
the expedition, is rather Of the opinion
that the mother Of pearl clouds" are
moved by other forces, partly. per-
haps, by electricity. Poulsen explains
the formation of such cloud by cur
rents of negative electricity, by virtue
of which the atmospheric vapor is con-
densed. The clouds probably move
in the direction Of the electric cur
rents.
