THE WEEK IN PETROLEUM.

The surprise Of the week and the topic Of in
terest the unexpected cut in credit balances
from s. 30 TO 81 Is for Pennsylvania oil and to So
cents for Lima and so cents for South Lima and
Indiana. The reason for this sharp cut Is a
mystery to ali producers 1t certainly was not made
because Of any overproduction of oil or falling
off in consumption. The fact is, the field cond-
tions have not been paralleled in years Not single
new purchasing territory of any Importance has
been discovered anywhere, and the actual produc-
ton from month TO month has fallen far short of
the consumption. Nevertheless there has been un-
usual activity among operators in their efforts to
find new production. They have extended over a
wide range in their efforts but not single new
pool has been found, aggregating as much as a
thousand barrels day Producers now believe
that the day OF dollar oil is coming again There
is no cessation in the efforts to find more output
there Is even the slightest announcement oner-
ators have had to fall hack their old producing
wells which they have stimulated by shooting
This practice Is now being followed more than ever
before in the history OF the business ana some
times Is productive of good results. but quite as
often results in little nothing ~
In the Little Germany district in Marsbau
County, there is more activity than anywhere else

ELECTRICITY as A GERNICIDE.


question even more interesting-Is electricity
gernafcidaI?-has given Graham Ansen the oppor-
tunfty Of disclosing some suggestive experiments.
The germs with which he experimental were those
which under circumstances that occur very fre-
uuentIy are found in beer casks. A brewer sends
out a good sound. and perhaps new cask. II the
customer puts a cork into the taphole when the
cask is empty. and takes other precautions that
no free air may enter. then the cask returns IN
good order to the brewery, and II thoroughly
washed will be fit for use again. If this duty IS
neglected. then almost certainly the cask Will be-
come foul, and in certain circumstances no
amount Of boiling. washing OF steaming under press
ure will make IL fit for again Mr.. Ansell tried
hot and cold solutions Of alum. boracic acid and
borax. permanganate Of potash chloride or lime,
bisuphate of lime, caustc soda and diluted sui
phuric acd-and all IN vain. Like Macbeth's stain.
the fouIness would not come out Even chlorine
gas. nitrous acid fumes and concentrated air Of
yitriol left IL calm. Mr.. AnSeli then tried what
electricity would do. He filed foul tub with
dilute suIphuric acid, and then, having immersed
if in a tub Of acfdulated water, gave the tub the
benefit Of an electric circuit of 100 volts. The cur
rent was about half ampere. and after eight
hours treatment the cask was cured Mr. AnseIl
candidly adds that it was not one OF the worst
tubs, and that in the worst and most tncurable
specimens the treatment did not answer.

CAR FERRYBoAT FROM MILWAUKEE,
WRECKED ON BAR-oNE LIFE LOST.

WRECKED ON BAR-ONE LIFE LOST.
1,udfngton, Mich. Dec. 22.-While entering
Ludington Harbor last midnight, in a heavy
southerly gale, Pere Marquette car ferryboat No.
16 struck a bar. disabling her machinery and
breaking the main feed steampipe. Great vol
umes of steam escaped. Mike Taft a coal
passer whose home is In Chicago scalded
to death, and two other coal passers. whose
names are unknown, were also terribly scaded.
They now lie in the Marine Hospital here be-
tween life and death. Many others who were
in the hold of the car ferryboat, received burns
from the steam, and suffered great hardship in
the nine hours which followed the accident.
After the accident. for the remainder of the
night, there was neither light nor heat. The
night was bitterly cold. Great seas rolled across
the deck, and ice formed wherever the water fell.
The No 16 arrived off the harbor from Mil
waukee at midnight after a tempestuous voy-
age, In spite Of the heavy sea and a strong
wind from an unfavorabe quarter, Captain
Charles Thompson decided to hazard an en-
trance TO the harbor. He would have succeeded
had not his boat at unfortunate moment
sunk low in the hollow of big and struck
the bar with terrific force. The shock COM

When day broke the life saving crew, by

| Great banks Of ice surround the boat al
