A man who is interested in one of
the biggest gushers in the Beaumont
oil fields of Texas thus describes how
one of the big wells starts:
We knew some time before the
gusher was brought in that what we
hoped for was coming. The drillers
were prepared for it and had removed
their tools from the deep hole. If they
had not done that everything IN the
well would have been thrown into the
air. We could hear the throbbings of
a great force below. The noise was
like the puff of a monster engine,
dying away and then growing louder
than before. The puffs soon increased
to mighty roar. and we knew that
the climax would come soon. | was
standing near the well with my watch
in my hand. 1t was exactly 10: 25
o'clock on the morning of October %
when the first substance was thrown
out. First there was only sand, as it
is called in California, or oil rock as
they term it in Pennsylvania. Then

The Democratic minority in the
House of Representatives has leader
of conspicuous ability. He was elected
Chairman of the Democratic caucus of
the House for the fifty-slXth congress-
and has just been reelected for that
position for the fifty-seventh congress.
He is James ID. Richardson of Ten
nessee.
Mr.. Richardson has served continu-
ously in the House of Representatives
representing the Fifth Congressional
District for 16 years, and is now en-
tering on his ninth congressional term
He is a close observer of events
which transpire hourly during the ses-
sions of congress. and never fails to
take advantage of every opportunity
that presents itself to strengthen the
minority He is strong and faithful
leader, and although he has been high
ly honsred by his party in the past. he
will rise to greater heights as time
progresses.
Mr.. Richardson always te Ies an ac-
tive hand in national and congressional
political contests. In 1896 he was tenn
porary chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional convention; in 1898 and 1900 he
was Chairman of the Democratic Con
grSssional Committees for those years
In 1900 he was elected permanent
chairman of the Democratic National
Convention at Kansas City, a position
which he filled with credit to himself
and benefit to the party. AS a par
liamentarian he has few equals.

NEW USE FOp ZEBRAS
To Replace Horses in African Transport Service

The British war department has de-
tcrmined upon introducing zebras into
the army in Africa for military par
poses to take the places of horses and
mules of which there is an ever in
croasing shortage Experiments which
have been made with these animals
show that they can be utilized to-day
as satisfactorily as they have 'eeu in
the past by the Abyssiniau and others.
They will till the existing needs of the
British transport and cavalry services
In way that It would otherwise seem
impossible to meet them. 1t is e.
tremely probable that in the breeding
stations to be established in Mashon-
aiand and Somaiiland a hybrid animal
will be produced for the purpose of
cavalry mounts by crossbreeding with
English hunting stock, it having been
proved by experiments that good re-
suits can be obtained in this manner.
The imperial zebra. sometimes found
as tall as fifteen hands, is a result OF
breeding the largest average for any
of the native African breeds not being
over thirteen hands. Zebra and zebra
hybrids have been bred in Europe lcr
