PENNSY'S HARD WORK

Pennsylvania $ football team was given
a hard and grueling practice yesterday.
There will be another today. and then sig
nal drill only will be the program until
Saturdays game. That the coaches were
disguised with the showing the men made
against Lafayette was easily seen from
the way in which they drove the men
today.
Greene was the only man given COM
plete rest. All the lanky halfback was
asked TO do was go through the signal
practice. Folwell and Stevenson were
sent in the training home after half an
hours scrimmage work. Capt. Torey re-
lieved Rookie near the end OF the practice.
Bankart was at centre all day.
As far as condition goes the Pennsyl-

OF them have bruises and some or them
are near the fine edge. But all OF those
men Mike Murphy will have In good con-

I GOOD MAN UP.

It's hard to keep good man down. That's why "spotty'' Mcbride, of Pitts burg, is up. For thirty-five years he believed that he was destined to strike oil'' in the Pennsylvania fields. He was only a bootblack and general roustabout in a country hotel, but he had grit and a sublime faith in his lucky star. Thirty years ago he drilled his first well. It was 8 "dry hole" and he was laughed at for his verdaney. Then he returned to his native town and worked as bootblack nntil he had enough money to make another venture in the oil fields. This venture failed, and so did many other ventures, but he never abandoned hope, although every well that he tapped was dry. Two months ago he scraped together a small sum and started again for the oil regions for his last attempt to win the favor of the fickle goddess of luck He had offered to sell an interest in his claim for a paltry sum, but nobody would buy. He had failed so often that his name was almost a synonym for i'll fortune. But his day had come at last. He secured a lease on the most un- desirable-looking territory in the oil section, paying only a song for it. Within a hundred yards of this spot wells had been drilled previously that proved worthless. But this was sit- uation in which the unexpected was to happen. "spotty'' Mcbride struck oil'' at last and "struck it rich.'' His well is turning out 2,4OO barrels day and "spotty' bids fair to become a million aire at a very early day.
 Good for "spotty," who will find that nothing succeeds like success. Prob ably his long struggle has so leveled and hardened his head that it wont swell now. +-

 Johnnie Worland has been credited with turning the trick in the old Fore paugh show in 1893. But Dan o'Brien said that WOrland made only two and half somersaults in his flight over five elephants and two camels-"
 All of which is of interest to John nie Worland's'' friends in Corning. be- cause Worland was the circus name of John Comosh, who was Corning boy, and who is now a successful coal deal CT here and one of this city's best known business men. John Comosh learned to tumble in Corning, and in his teens he jioned a circus, and for over fifteen years was in the sawdust arena, touring the world under the name of John Worland with the big gest shows and rising to the top of the profession as performer. He could do and did many acts brilliantly, but as a

coon HUNTING iN AFRICA.

. The German newspapers are publish ing accounts of the great damage done to native settlements by lions in Ger man East Africa, and thus attention has been directed to the fact that there is rare sport in these regions for the hunters Of big game. It appears that there are only about five hundred Ger mans in the province, most of these military or civil officials, and that few of them are ardent Nimrods. As rule, they confine themselves mainly to the coast towns, whereas the center of the sporting district is Dar-es-Salaam
 There is plenty of big game in British East Africa also, but there are also game laws. For instance, in the British possessions the visiting sportsman has to pay $250 for a license, and the set tier $50. Even then, in a calendar month no man may shoot more than two elephants, rhinoceroses, hippopota- mi, zsbras, antelopes, or fur monkeys, or more than ten of the smaller ani- mals, such as wild pigs, wildcats and jackals. Lions, leopards and crocodiles may be shot in any quantities. In Ger man East Africa there is no restriction whatever as to the amount of game that may be shot. The best time to

NOT BENnFionALIY BusY.

The little busy bee improves each shining hour, and does some good.
 There are other little busy insects that improve each shining hour, and don't do much good. Some impressive facts regarding the annual losses sustained by farm crops as a result of the depre- dations of beetles, borers, plant lice, Hessian flies, billbugs wireworms. grasshoppers and other insect pests
 have been gathered by c. L. Marlatt, an entomologfst in the Department of Agriculture. He declares that the de- struction to various crops by these in- sects amounts to $7OO 100000 a year. or more than the entire annual expentli- lures of the government, including the pension roll and the cost of maintain ing the army and navy. MT. Marlatt
 says that to one familiar with the work of these insects it is an easy matter to approximate the probable shrinkage in crop values due to their activities. He places the tax which they impose on growing and maturing crops at $5O0,- 0O0,0OO and adds $2o0, a0,0OO to cover the losses suffered by cereals and forage crops in storage and destruction to nat
 ural forests and forest products.
 MT. Marlatt. says that very consid- erable item of loss, properly chargeable | to insects, is the annual expenditure
 devoted to their control. He has not included this in the $700,000,0OO estimate
 Another legitimate class of losses not included is the secondary losses which
 necessarily result from diminished pro-
 ducts. For example, the excessive re-
 duction in winter wheat due to Hessian fly ravages in 1900 put a serious check upon milling operations throughout the region worst affected, and caused very heavy loss in this field of industry.
 l And so forth and so on. Fortunately there are some insects that don't work all the time. For instance, that devas- tating bug which, during period of
 stock market stress, was found to be eating LID the rails of the railroads.

horses, in two of which he landed on his back. His third attempt was more successful, as he landed on his feet. The next time he tried was at St. Louis in 1876. with Howe's London circus. Bob Ellingham was the ring master, and he made the announce ment to the audience. This time he landed on a bed in a sitting posture. He did it again at Eau Claire. 1881, with Adam Forepaugh's show, also, a few days afterward, at La Crosse, and on both occasions at the afternoon show, s. s. Smith making the an- nouncement. On this occasion all the members of the company made affidavit to the fact. The last time that he accomplished the feat was at New Haven in 1884, with the Forepaugh show, in the presence of the Mayor of the city and many newspaper cores pondents. James Melville. the Aus trailian bareback ride, made the an- 1iouncement On this occasion he had a performer run down the board and turn single somersault, then another performer to turn double somer- sault, after which Worland ran down the board and threw triple somer- sault, landing on a bed on his feet, as straight as any double he ever turned. Charles, Davis, agent for Forepaugh, saw him do the feat.
 Tt has been seriously doubted that a triple somersault was ever accomplish ed before circus audience after due announcement, and under the same conditions as double somersaults are performed. It requires a performer who has a great command of a double, which MT. Worland had in a better degree than most performers had over a single. For years he did nothing but a double, and would not attempt 3 single so that when he attempted 2 triple he did not run as great risk as others who attempted the feat."- Corning Daily Journal.

A PETROLEUM THEORY

a < < F3 7
 B. F. Halcomb a geologist of Boston,
 who made thorough examination of
 the Kansas and Indian Territory oil
 fields for eastern capitalists last July,
 and in his report predicted that the main oil strata would be found under lying the Mississippi limestone, is
 spending few days in Kansas City. MT Holcomb came here from bust
 ness trip through the Indian Terri tory As a result of his studies in the oil fields he has found q new theory ing this theory MT. Holcomb said.
 "That petroleum Is iii any wise due to decay of marine life is to my mind un- scientific, if not absurd. The origin of the various grades of petroleum, and in fact coal as we'll is certainly the re- suit of condensed gases under various physical conditions. Once an ocean of diversified depths covered the surface of the whole earth, when suddenly the bottom was uplifted, principally through internal heat, caused by lat eral pressure, and mountains uplifted their heads. The paxxyms caused
 among other things, colds and frac- lures throughout the strata of the var ious geological ages. Tie fractures act ed as vents for hydrogen and acety- lene gases, which formed as soon as water met the alkali earth minerals. These two we'll -known gases uniting, attracted the cobalt ores and more or less dissolved their nickel, iron, arsen- ic and sulphur. Thus fortified a reac- ton took place and the hot compound soon finding itself hemmed within perius rock, was condensed. If the con- densation was sudden owing to the ex-
