salt water 40 feet over the derrick ..
The days are growing shorter,
the stocks of oil are growing
shorter and the oil producers are

the price is anout so cents per bar

The operations for July did not
improve conditions and as a matter
OF fact were less than those of June.
Present prices will work their own

drill small territory (unless 1t be
shallow at profit.
The report reaches us that NIL.
Lockwood who Is one of the most
prominent stockholders and Is a
trustee and director In the Pure
Oil company has sold his produc
ing interests to the South Penn OH
company. That the Standard OH
company should become purchas
er of oil producing property at
tached to the independent pipe line
system Is not new or strange, but
that one of the heaviest producers
among the Pure Oil company
stockholders should sell his inter.
ests to the Standard where the
former are said to be purchasing
producing properties does seem g
trihe Inconsistent. Recent actions
of the independent inter-
ests In keeping strictly within
the market bounds of the
Standard and the evident indiffer
ence of some of the most prominent
independents seems to confirm the
beliefthat an arrangement has beer
made.
The report of the gigantic OF
merger of American and Russian
oil interests Is denied by M. F
Elliott, attorney for the Standard
Oil company.

SPEAR POINTS.

The light from heaven can never
lead astray.
The world must read the gospel In
living epistles.
Resignation is putting God between
ones self and ones grief.
The most momentous truth Of re-
ligion is that Christ is In the Christ
ian.
The time to show your Christian
manhood is when 1t Is put to the sore
test.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character; you must hammer and
forge yourself into one.
The light Of the Christian shines
brightest for Christ, when he Is least
conscious that 1t Is shining.
Not all Gods messengers are angels.
Any hand that knocks at the door
may bring a call from the King.
1t is better to build a life than to
make a fortune. Character IS a great
err accomplishment than riches.
He who manifests humility. love
and gratitude when told Of his faults
has made large attachments In the
Christian life.
Spiritual sustenance cannot be eff
fective in an abstract form. as pure
Truth: 1t must come to us through
the energy Of a spiritual life.

FOUND IN THE ORES FROM

Company Asked BY a jersey City Con-
Germ To Fix a Price and Give In
formation Relative to the Produc-
ton Of Palladium-Prlce 10 High
and Supply Is Limited.

DR.. A. B. Hamilton, the secretary OF
the Rambler Copper company. this
morning received u letter from The
Portable Electric Power and Light
company of Jersey City, N. j., signed
by Valentine Robinson, which shows
the value Of the rare metals found to
exist in the ores taken from the Ram.
bier mine.
DR. Hamilton says the presence OF
palladium in the ores has been demon
strated beyond question, and that 1t
can be forwarded to the New Jersey
company in the form Of concentrated
copper pig and afterwards separated
by the electrolytic process. Mr. Rob.
inson's letter is as follows:
Dear Sir: We are indebted for your
name to Prof. E. F.. Slosson who tells
us to write to you on a matter on which
we are interested.
In a copy Of the Engineering Journal
some weeks ago. we saw that your
mine contained an ore which was rich
in palladium. II this material could
be produced at a moderate price say
something below that OF platinum, we
think we could use 1t in our business.
At present the supply is 80 limited and
uncertain and the price is 8 % high, that
We are using platinum black in its
place.
II you are producing palladium, we
should be glad to know at what price
you could supply it to US, either I. o. b.
Laramie or here. or IL you could not
produce the metal In It's chloride, but
could send us the concentrate. we think
we could arrange to extract 1t here.
Ii would simply be a question with us
as to the price at which 1t can be pro-
duced.
We shall be glad to hear from you,
and II we can assist you, in any way in
giving you information on this point,
we shall be pleased to do It.

Chinese Anatomy.

Chinese physicians have some curious
notions In regard to human anatomy.
The truth is they know nothing about
anatomy as that word is understood by
American physicians, their principal
authority OH the subject being work
entitled Netting" of which Huang
I'll. who lived from 2G97 to 2597 Il. c.,
Is said to be the author.
According to Chinese physicians, the
human heart occupies almost the same
position as is assigned by European
and American physicians to the stom-
ach, and bile, they maintain, has its
origin in the back of the head. They
also claim that human being has 365
bones, which correspond to the 365
days of the year; that man has
twelve ribs and a woman fourteen and
that a mans skull is composed of eight
and woman's six pieces.
Moreover they say that in every hui
man body there are twenty-five parts
which are important and fifty-six
which are unimportant, and they lay
great stress on the necessity of taking
good care Of the important parts.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-12-26

In peeling potatoes it Is often OBJ
served that the outer flesh Of the tuber
contains brown slivers extending from
the surface inward to the depth of
about one-eighth Of an inch. These sliv-
ers do nOs harm except to slightly injure
the appearance of the cooked potato.
Usually their location Is indicated ex-
ternally by a minute puncture in the
skin. In some cases each silver is sur
mounted by pronounced elevation,
and tubers so affected are called pim-
ply potatoes.
The sllvers and accompanying pim-
Piles are caused by minute white
worms, the larvae Of the common flea
beetle, which bore into the tubers while
they are growing. Naturally slivers
are most common in potatoes in locali-
ties where flea beetles are most abun-
dant 1t is likewise plain that to pre-
vent the appearance Of slivers in the
tubers 1t is necessary to prevent flea
beetles from attacking the tops. This is
best accomplished by spraying the
plants very thoroughly with bordeaux
mixture containing paris green Mt the
rate Of about twelve ounces to fifty gal
Ions Of bordeaux. The same treatment
prevents blight and the ravages Of po-
tato bugs-F. G. Stewart in American
Agriculturist.

"MercuriaIe Swords"

When was it usual to insert running
mercury in the backs of swords?
This was comparatively common
practice among the Italian, French and
Spanish swCrdmakers of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, but it was
more o. fancy than anything else, for
it never came into general use 1t was
not of course, used for rapiers or the
lighter kind of swords, but for the
heavier cutting swords.
The method was to cast the blade
rather broader at the back than usual,
with a hollow running down it. This
was half filled with quicksilver and
sealed up. The idea was that when a
blow was struck with such a sword
the quicksilver would fly to the point
and so increase the weight Of the blow.
This theoretical advantage, however,
did not at all counterbalance the gen.
eral clumsiness of the weapon and its
unhandiness In guarding, and so the
mercuriale swords, as they were called,
from which their ingenious inventor
hoped so much, were rather military
curiosities than practical successes
