OH, Tor fire meant complete disaster
ior everything within reach. Had &
c0nfiagrati0n occurred it would have
extended TO the spouting geyser anG
would have been burning to this day
An armed patrol of men, mounted on
borses, kept guard of the lake night
and day, and special care was taken tC
see that no sparks were dropped by
| passing trains.
The great problem then before the
mining engineer was how to control the
How and thus save the precious fluid
Finally he hit upon scheme. a long
section of eight.inch pipe was secured
ard mounted Oh a movable carriage.
One end of 1t was fitted with valve.
llalf way up this pipe a T-ioint was
made and Il branch of sixinch pipe
was run out, also fitted with valve.
thls structure was then moved up TO
the side OF the geyscr, and the eight
men pipe slipped into position over the
old six-inch tube. The openings of
the smaller pipe were filled up with
oakum and other material, so that the
Oil was escaping only through the top
or The main pipe AMI out of the side
section. The valve at the top of tho
main pipe was then closed, thus divert
ing the entire stream off to one side
through the branch section. This
made it possible for men to work
about the base of the well. A dccp
trench was dug all around the base of
the gcyscr and then filled in with a
bed OF concrete. From this concrete
heavy supporting lines were run to the
top OF the pipe, so that the whole ap
paratus was securely anchored to the
concrete foundation. When it was
certain that everything was ready, the
valve on the branch pipe was closed
and the stream was cut off. This
operation consumed nine days, and in
the meantime the oil was pouring out
at the rate Of anywhere between IS 900
and 100000 barrels day. The csti-
mated value of the crude product is
between 40 and 50 cents barrel, so It
Will be seen that each days product
was worth in the ncighborhood of
800, 900. After The flow had been
checked lire occurred in one Of the
oil lakes and 75O, 900 barn els were de-
stroycd, representing a loss of about
$300,000.

be built in the most substantial and
modern manner, conforming in every
respect to the finest steam railway
road.bed. The track will be laid with
95-pound rails and the cars will be of
the latest and most improved pattern
seating sixty people, and will run nt a
speed OF AT least fifty miles an hour.
There will be no grade crossings SO
that the cars will go with uninterrupted
speed. The fare from the heart of
Philadelphia to the heart of New York
will be fifty cents, but for distances OF
twenty miles the fare will be only five
cents. There is talk of trolley line

@lS CONVERSATION A LOST ART @
Conversation calls for training of two

Now, listening is a platonic occupation
out OF fashion on this side of the AT
lantic. Watch carefully a group of
our compatriots chattcring together and
you will notice that the speaker ls
rarely allowed TO finish a sentence.
His companions will snap the thread of
talk away from him, unconscious of
any incivility-just from sheer nervous

lave you ever been in born-yard
when a hen mole fortunate than the
others unearthed a nice fat worm?
Long experience having taught the
fowl that she will not be allowed TO
enjoy her prize, she starts to run with
it, pursued By the other chickens, who
snatch the tidbit from each other until
the manglcd dainty disappears. When
our inpatient compatriots discuss q
topic Of interest it gets much the same
treatment Al the worm. Intcrrupting

Riding down the sharpshootcrs
clearing the woods, out IN the oper
field they were met by tempest O.
grape and canister from the artiller,
and of mimic balls from the infantry
Many n gallant rider and his horse
went down under tho storm Of shot
and shell. But nothing could stay the
hcadlong course Of the fearless leader.
Passing between the battery and the
infantry, he sabrcd one gunner, drove
them all from their guns and caused
the whole line of infantry next the
artillery to waver.
Had tins gallant charge been follow
ed Immediately by that of our whole
command we undoubtedly would have
won the day at that moment. But it
was not done. Capt. Dunlop dashed
on after cutting through the line of
battle to the rear, and when ont of
range OF their shot halted to see who
were left of his command. Seven men
had followed him through, and were
all that were left. Turning to them,
he said, with grim humor Boys,
the command was to reform and charge
back" One of the men replied ::
Well, Captain, we have followed you
Ibis far, but if you are going back
through that limo of battle you will
have to go by yourself. We have hal
enough Of it," Of course he had no
thought of doing so. He was only
putting his men to the test Riding
around their line and out of range of
thcir~"hot, the heroic little band re-
joined their command.
1t is not my intention to continue
the history Of the battle. My only pur-
pose was to recount the most desperate
charge 10 ever witnessed during my
four years experience in the war. Suf-
licent to say that by sundown we had
captured the whole force of the enemy.
The boys threw away their shotyuns,
replacing them with improved arms.
The battery we kept till the war closed
and good service it did against its for
mcr owners. That night we started
back for McMlnnvillc, halting only
long enough TO parole our prisoners,
with whom Forrest did not wish to be
burdcncd. We reached our camp at
Nc Alinnville about noon on Monday,
having been in the saddle about forty
eight hours. That battle secured For
rests promotion to the rank of gen.
cral, and our gallant Capt. Dunlop
afterwards became colonel of his rcgi-
nlcnt, and was loved and admired by
every man IN his command. Long
may he live to do valiant service to Tie
army of the Lord Of Hosts under the
leadership of the great Captain Of our

POINTS OF HUMAN ANATOMY
The Differences Between Men
and Women -Eycs, Ears, Ton.
CUES, Height.

The two sides Of PERSONS face arc
never alike. The eyes arc ont Of line
in two cases out of five, and one eye
is stronger than the other in seven
persons out Of ten. The right ear is
also, as rule, higher than the left.
Only one person in fifteen has per-
tcct eyes, the largest percentage of do
1ects prevailing among fair-haircd pcO-
pie. Short sight is more common in
town than among country folk, and Of
all people the Germans have the larg-
est proportion of short-sightcG per
sons. The crystalline lens of the eye
is the one portion Of The human body
which continues to increase in size
throughout life and does not cease with
the attainment Of maturity.
The smallest interval of sound can
! he better distinguished with one eur
than with both. The nails of two
fingers never grow with the same ra-
pidity, that of the middle iingcr grow
ing the fastest, while that Of the thumb
grows the slowest. In Gfty-tour cases
out of hundred the left leg is stronger
than the right. The bones of an aver
age human male skeleton weigh twcni Y
pounds; those OF woman arc six
pounds lighter.
That unruly member, the tongue of
woman, Is also smaller than that of
man, given man and woman Of
equal size and weight. 1t may be ap-
palling to reflect, but it is nevertheless
true, that the muscles Of the human
jaw exert force of over 800 pounds.
The symmetry which is the sole in
tclligible ground for our idea Of beauty,
the proportion between the upper and
lower half of the human body, exists
in nearly all males, but is never found
IN the female. American limbs arc
more symmetrical than those of any
| other people. The rocking chair, ac-
cording to an English scientist, is re.
sponsiblc for the exercise which in.
creascs the beauty of the lower limbs
The push which the toes give to keep
the chair in motion, repeated and re,
peatcd, makes the lnstep high, the cali
round and full, and it makes the ankle
delicate and slender.
British women arc said to average
two inches more in height than Amcli
cans. Averages for the height Of wo
men show that those born in summer
and autumn are taller than those bOrl
in sprlng and winter. The tallcst girls
are born in August. AS far as boys
are concerned, those who first sec The
light during autumn aud wintcy arc
not 80 tall as those born in spring ant
summer. Those born in Novembc
the shortest; in July the tallcst.
An average head Of fair hair consists
of 143 ,040 hairs, dark hair of l05 900
while red head has only 20 200. Fair
haired people arc becoming less numcr
GUS than formerly.
A person who has lived seventy year
has had pass through his heart abou
675, ,920 tons Of blood, the whole of tn

The Fluke at Scranton.

Ellisyille News.
Tho trial OF the Scranton lynchers,
just as We expected, proved a rank
hasco. An orderly lynching, where
the lynchee is considered by the pub
lie generally to be fit subject, is gen.
orally upheld by public sentiment in
every State in the union. 1t is where
the lynchers 80 wild and make out of
themselves greater brutes than the
one to be lynched, that the fear and
disgust OF the community is aroused.
Governor Longino should have made
his fight on those Gulfport rowdies
who shot down innocent negroes and
burned the negro church at the time
when the town marshal was shot not
long ago, had he desired the backing
OF the great body Of the people. The
Scranton affair was very quiet and
orderly; nobody suffered save the
guilty party, and the cost OF long
and tedious trial was saved the coun-
try. That man would have been
lynched in every State in the union,
Tor his crime in wantonly shooting
down a child to spite his wife, placed
him outside the pale of consideration
as human being. The governors
nrst attempt has proven most unfor-
tunate, as its moral effect will be just
che reverse Of what it should be.
