His Hard Luck.

It is not unusual for persons indict-
ed for crime in this jurisdiction to
plead guilty, but very seldom does it
happen that a prisoner who admits that
he has been rightly accused is COM
PEELED to enter a plea Of not guilty.
Such an incident occurred here re-
Gently.
1t was desired to make a test case in
order to secure a ruling from the Ap-
pellate Court on a knotty legal propo-
sition. A certain colored individual
who was in the tolls was selected to
furnish framework for the Issue. He
was escorted into court for arraign-
ment. Prior to that formality, how
ever, the prosecuting officer took the
precaution TO remark: "Of course, you
are going to plead not guilty" Such
a plea was essential in order to take
the matter before the higher court.
The response was a surprise and
somewhat disconcerting, for the attor-
neys and the court were anxious to go
ahead with the test proceeding. The
prisoner declared: Use guilty, an
wants 20 be sentenced right here an
now" This dlsarranged the program
very decidedly.
1t required the combined persuasive
efforts of the prosecuting officer and
the counsel assigned to represent the
defendant to induce the latter to con-
sent to plead not guilty. AS ne was
led from the court room he shook his
head dublously and murmured: "I
didn't want to do it, cause Use guilty
all right. Don't know what they're
up to, deed l don't" -- Washington

George S. Boutwell,, in his "Gixty
Years in Public Affairs says that
there is no form of education that moro
fully justifies it's cost than the educa
tion which is gained in Presidential
canvass. The newspapers, the maga.
zines, and, more than all, the speakers
--"stump orators" as they arc called
communicate information and ,stlmu-
late thought. Tho voters are con-
verted into a great jury, and, after
full allowance is made for weakness,
corruption and coercion, are greatly ad-
vanced in their knowledge cf men,
in their abilities to deal with measures
of policy and in comprehension of the
principles of government. If the losses
in business were as great as is ever
represented, the educational advantage
of a presidential canvass are an ade-
quate set-off.

Modern Methods of Drilling Have De-
veloped Petroleum Industry.
Mr.. Renters of the British consular
service in Japan has submitted to the
British Board of Trade 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 Arnase, where the
largest oil company in the country has
been at work since 1883 with machin-
cry imported from the United States.
Here wells were dug in the sea and
carried above the sea level by double
ring of piles filled in with earth. In
the northern part of the province oil
fever of speculation.
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 great
scale and with imported machinery.
Hand boring has almost ceased to ex-
ist, and with Improvement in methods
Of winning the oil came Improvement
in the transport Of the oil to the re-
fineries. Pipe lines were introduced
to convey 1t from the wells to the re-
finereis and from the latter to the rail-
way stations, and 1t 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 1t Is be-
lieved that the supply there is as rich
as 1t Is in Echigo. In one place in the
island wells have been dug and worked
by hand for some years. Here the oil
overfows into the sea, and In stormy
weather boats take refuge there on
account of the smoothness Of the wat
er. In 1899 the total production Of the
oil in Japan was 1S.S33,9 ,915 gallons, of
which 1S,713.230 gallons were produc-
ed in Echigo.-London Telegraph.

such details as its size, its rate of rota-

atmosphere clothing it's surface are not
yet ascertained with certainty. The
latest measurements of the diameter of
Mercury, by DR.. Il. J. j. See of the

the planet considerably smaller than do
the estimates hitherto generally re-
