The Oil We'll at Vint0n.

The oil we'll has become quite an
old story, but it is none the less
important for all that. Work goes
right forward, the new crew are
working early and late, and an ex-
pert driller is in charge. New
methods are being used, for one
very muddy water is being sent
down, instead of the clear water
used under the old management.
The muddy water is said to prevent
the gravel slipping down into the
pipe and to facilitate the work IN
other ways. This field has proven
itself to be an unusally difficult one,
but everything that money and
brains, reinforced by hard work :,
can do, is being done to develop it..
There is not a question in the minds
of the promoters but that in due
time they will attain all they wish
for. ViatOn Herald.

Fine Screws in Watches.

The minuteness of some of the
screws made in a watch factory may
be measured by the statement hat II
takes nearly $50, 900 of a certain kind
to weigh a pound. Under the micro.
scope they appear in their true char.
acter-perfectly finished bolts. The
pivot of the balance wheel is only one
two.hundredtEs of an inch in diane.
ter and the gauge with which pivots
are classified measures to the ten.
thousandth part of an inch. Each
jewel hole into which a pivot fits is
about one fve-tnousandth of an inch
larger than the pivot to permit sufi'
cient play.
The finest screw for a small.sized
watch has a thread of 260 to the inch
and weighs one ~one'hundred and
thirty thousandths of a pound.

l-st OF TIE senate's Snufttakers.

On either side of the United States
senate chamber is IN ancient snuff'
boy-one for Republicans and n Tor
Democrats. The boxes are a survival
of the old-time habit of snufftaking,
which was almost universal in the
lStl century among persons OF fashion
ana public men. The habit persisted
wei through the first half of the 18th
century. but during the past fifty
years snuff has gone out of style. The
senate boxes, however, remain, and
ii appears they are kept filed. Sena'
tor Vest of Missouri, and Senator
Harris of Kansas. who formerly used
the boxes occasionally, have broken
off the habit, and Senator Pettus Is
now their solitary patron. He Is the
