PETROLEUM IN BURMAH.
In Use There Long before the First
Well Was Driven In
Pennsylvania.

The use Of petroleum seems new. but
it had been used in Asia for long time
before the first well was driven in
Pennsylvania. The following descrip-
ton, published in 1929, is from the ac-
count of Crawford's embassy TO Ava.
Petroleum wells supply the whole
Burmah empire with oil for lamps, and
also for smearing timber, to protect 1t
against Insects. and particularly the
white ants. Its consumption for burn
ing is stated to be universal, until its
price reaches that of sesamum oil, the
only other kind used for lamps.
The wells, which occupy Il space OF
about 1G square miles, vary in depth
from 200 TO $50 feet; the shaft is square,
not more than four feet each side, and
is formed by sinking frame OF wood.
The oil, on coming up, is about the
temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
1t is thrown into large cistern, in the
bottom OF which are small apertures
for the aqueous part to drain off, when
the oil is left for some time TO thicken.
1t is then put into large earthen jars.
placed in rude carts drawn by oxen,
and carried to the banks Of the river,
from whence it is sent by water-car-
riage to every part OF the empire.
BY the number and burden of the
boats employed in this trade, and the
number of voyages they are supposed
to make in the course OF year, the ex-
portation from the wells is estimated
10 amount to 17,56S,O00 Wis, Of 2th
mounds each.

Is species of birds Of prey, OF which

immense eagle called "the monkey

There are five species Of eatable ducks

quets. The bird called swift"
known to ornithologists as the Colo
Gala Troglodytes, which constructs the
nests so highly priced by the Chinese
for food, are quite plentiful, and in
several of the islands large numbers
of natives are engaged In gathering
the nests, that are worth more than
their weight in gold, and shipping
them over to Chinese mandar1ns. They
are made of sea moss cemented To-
gether by a gelatinous secretion from
the salivary glands of the birds, and
are usually hidden in the hollows Of
steep cliffs along the seashore. The
business Of hunting them is dangerous
but profitable.

Frame Work.

St. Louis, November 14.-An accident
brought the test fight of the Francois
slrship to an abrupt termination today
after the flying machine had been in the
air fifteen minutes, during which its
dirigibility was not satisfactorily demon
strated, owing, the inventor said, to the
absence of rudder. The ascension was
made at the end Of rope.
The sirship progressed slowly in west
erly direction and NJ. Francois attempted
to turn the flying machine around. He
stopped the tight hand fans, but although
the pair on the left hand side revolved
swiftly, there was no perceptible change
in the course of the airship, and it was
dragged around by those holding the
ropes.
Shortly after this sharp breaking noise
was heard and few seconds later one of
the stern propellers struck the upper frame
work several hard blows, breaking the
propeller and spllntering several of the
under supports. Francois signalled to
those on the ground and the airship was
pulled down and taken into the aero
drome.

About Clothes.

The ladies of the New York Society
For Political Study discussed the ques-
ton the other day whether 1t is dress
Or brains that counted most In women's
clubs.
One lady declared 1t was brains; an
other took the Fabian line of argument
and said, Nobody thinks the more of
you for being shabby" Stlll others
thought that, while intelligence was the
most important, 1--WE can't make guys
Of ourselves" After adjournment,
when they all talked at once, 1t was
decided that, 'other things being equal,
the woman with the prettiest hat viii
get there first
The informal conclusion is unques
tionably correct.
Brains count most. But one of the
uses of brains mot the least importantly
is to construct tasteful and becoming
dress.
No woman has brains enough to sup
ply the lack of becoming dress. and no
woman of the least intelligence viii
neglect to dress as tastefully as she
can. Shabbiness is not virtue. II is
a disability which brains may over
come, but it is a disability which
ought to be avoided. No sensible wo-
man win handicap herself.
