Fitting Retort of "Mad Poet' to
UnRentIeman1y Remark.
Many stories are told of Mcdonald
Clarke, known fifty years ago in New
York as the mad poet" which show
that he had a vein of great shrewd-
ness, such as is often possessed by
people who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at a table
in q New York hotel quietly eating
his simple dinner when two young
men took their seats at the same table.
Mcdonald Clarke was a well-known
figure, and the young men at once
recognized him, though he did not
know them.
They were not gentlemen in the best
sense of the word. and 1t occurred
to them that they might have some
sport with the poor poet Conse-
quently one of them said in an IN
necessarily clear tone:

Would Float a Big Fleet.

According to a report of the geo.
logical survey of the United States
government, now nearly ready for
publication petroleum was first dis
covered by Colonel Drake less than
half a century ago In Pennsylvania
near Titusville. Men in those days
had no notion that petroleum was
among the necessities of existence.
A tallow dip or a wax candle illumin-
ated sufficiently the nights activities,
and a blazing log wood fire left no
room for desire for another kind of
heater. Petroleum might have been
counted a superfluity, but instead it
sprang into immediate favor, and now
its list of popular byproducts grows
longer every year.
The total production of crude petrol
cum from 1859 to the end of 1902 has
been no less than 1,165, 2S0, 727 barrels.
That means that if two and one-half
feet were allowed for the height of q
barrel. and if these barrels filed with
all the domestic oil that has been pro-
duced were laid so that their heads
touched they would encircle the earth
! two and one-quarter times.
OF this total Pennsylvania and New
York produced $50 per cent; Ohio, a.:
per cent; West Virginia, lib per cent
Indiana, 80 per cent; California, 81
per cent; Texas, 81 per cent, leaving
o per cent to be supplied by the States
of Kansas, Colorado, louisiana, I'LL
nois, Missouri, IndiaA Territory
wyoming, Michigan and Oklahoma.
