he was no cipher there either. Un'
less Clements drugs kill us off too

to emulate the example of Gov. Hol.

fitted for governor than any man who

Mr.. Renters OF the British CONSULAR
Service in Japan has submitted to theI
British Board of Trade a report on
the petroleum industry, which has of
late attracted much attention and
reached considerable dimensions in
that country. The only place In Which
the oil is produced in large quantities
is in the province of Echigo, on the
west coast. the center of the-industry,
being the town Of Afnase, Whefejthei
largest oil company in the country has
been at work since 1888 with machin5

Here wells were dug in the sea and
carried above the sen level by a double
ring of piles filled lnowith earth. In,
the northern part Of the province OH

fever Of speculation. '2l =
In 1892 there were between 600 and
700. speculative companies with small
capital at work in Echigo, and most of
them failed. On their ruins arose
large companies working on a great
scale and with imported machinery,
Hand boring has almost ceased to ex-
list, and with Improvement in methods
of winning the oil came Improvement
in the transport of the oil to the re-
fineries. Pipe lines were Introduces
to convey it from the wells to the re-
finereis and from the latter to the rail-
way stations, and it has been proposed
to construct pipe line all the way TO
Tokyo, the capital, about twenty miles
away
Petroleum has also been found IN
Yezo, the northern island. and it is be-
lieved that the supply there is as rlen
as 1t is in Echigo. In one place in enc
island wells have been dug and workeu
by hand for some years. Here the on

of twenty-eight guns. Now. the Sybille
a few days before, in drawn fight

ALPHABET ON A PINHEAD.

Wonderful Achievement of Baltimore
Engraver Excites Surprise.
II. A. Houseal, an engraver employed
by George Walter, jeweler, has accom-
plished a task in the engraver's art
which eclipses the engraving of the
Lords prayer upon a silver dollar,
which was supposed for long time to
be the triumph of fine work in engrav-
Ing. He has managed to engrave the
alphabet complete on the head of a
common pin. Mr.. Houseal, who rarely
uses glass in his work, can read the
letters with the naked eye. and al
though there are few persons whose
eyesight is so strong, a common mag
nifying glass serves to make them east
ly distinguisbable. The letters range
