at Gefle. The conference lasted
from two to three hours.
King Oscar and his party will re-

4 NEW OIL TERRITORY
Spindle Top District to be Wideaed by
Drilling Near Gladys Civ.

Beaumont. July spindle Tor
territory will be widened and extend
ed by new well in the territory To
the west of the railroad tracks
which is commonly known as the
Flats.
Yesterday 1t was announced that
the well which has been drilling to
the west and somewhat to the south
of the Gladys City depot by Rube
Andrews will be brought in as a good
producer. The strainer was set IN
the well Wednesday night and il is
said that oil flowed above the top
OF the pipe. 1t is stated. however.
that the well will become a good
producer and can be operated sue
cessfully under the pump.
The well is distinctly a wild cat
proposition and will widen the Spin
die Top producing territory by from
$50 to 800 feet
It's coming in carries additional
significance from the fact that there
has always been a theory. since the
discovery of the field, that the Spin
die Top pool extended away from the
field in some direction and perhaps
in similar stratum and the new
well is expected to test the correct
ness of this theory. The new we'll
is something less than 1000 feet
deep.
The developments at the well win
be watched with eager interest 0y

MccuLLoCH MANSION SOLD.
Old Holly Hills Has Been Purchased by
Local Business Firm.

The home OF the late Hugh McCulloch
who was well known as one of the public
figures in this city in former years. where
his services in the Treasury Department
and finally at the head Of that great branch
of the government gave him national rep
utation, has been sold. 1t is known as
Holly Hills" a large farm in Maryland, be-
yond the borders of city on the northeast.
1t has been purchased by Woodward &
Lothrop, through Anton Heitmuller, real
estate broker. who represented the McCul-
Tough heirs. The farm lies at the juncture
OF the Riggs road and the Colesyille pike.
In the vicinity are the Hutchinson, Rapley
and Metzerott places and country places of
other residents of this city.
Holly Hills contains $50 acres and the
price paid was less than $1OO per acre. The
place contains a house with twenty-five
rooms. with hot and cold water and steam
heat; ten-room cottage and ten large
barns, Ice house and carriage house. The
arrangements of the buildings suggests en-
old English estate.
1t Is stated that ex-Secretary McCul-
loch spent about $4,000 upon the place,
and the number of rare trees and the shrub
berry that adorn the grounds give evidence
of the interest which the famous financial
authority took in his home in the country.

vide place of supply of vegetables and

FINALS OF LAKEWOOD
GOLF TOURNAMENT

1t is a case of New York VS.. Pittsburg
for chief honors in the annual open golf
tournament in progress on the links of the
Country Club of Lakewood The quartet
to reach the semi-final stage are George T.
Brokaw and NJ. K. Waters of the home
club and w. C. Fownes jr.. and j. o. H.
Denny, both of Oakmont.
Considering the high wind yesterday the
scoring was creditable, some of the
matches being keenly contested. One of
the most interesting had w. ]. Evans and
F. C. Jennings as the principals. There
was never more than a holes difference,
Evans eventually winning by [ up thanks
to dropping a 20-foot put OF the home
green. The winner went round In 10 to so
for Jennings.
After James G. Patterson, Lakewood.
had disposed of E. Z. Giles of Pittsburg,
in the first round, the former ran up
against Fownes. With a little good luck
Patterson might have won but Fownes laid
him stymis on the fourth and fifth green's
both of which proved costly to Patterson
Even at that Fownes only won by up and
l to play.
Brokaw won a good match from Evans
in the afternoon. After being 3 down at
the tenth Brokaw took the next six
straight holes in AS. giving him the match
by up and to play.

FEAT OF ANCIENT ENGINEERS.
Bored Tunnel, Similar to Simplon, in
Palestine 1880 Years Ago.

From the Scientific American.
Unmistakable evidence exists that $500
years ago certain Hebrew engineers Gin the
time of King Heze-Kiah executed exactly
the same kind of work which was carried
out In the Simplon tunnel, though perhaps
on a slightly smaller scale.
DR.. Bertholet. professor at the Univer-
sity of Basic, Is the gentleman who claims
to have made this discovery. The Jewish
records state that King Heze-Kiah, or Eze-
klas, who reigned at Jerusalem III B. c.,
was much troubled at the bad state of the
water supplied to the people of that city.
He accordingly had vast reservoir made
at the gates of the city, to which water was
fed from various springs lying at greater or
less distances from the reservoir in ques-
ton.
At first his project seemed doomed to
failure. as there existed between Jerusalem
and the springs from which the water was
to be derived a high chain of hills, over
which 1t would be impossible to convey the
water. 1t was therefore determined to- open
a passage for the water through the solid
rock. One of the Sirach MSS dating from
this period states In this connection: "Heze-
Kiah fortified his city by bringing water
thereto, and he bored through the solid
rock by means Of bronze, and he collected
the water in reservoir"
Recent explorations have enabled this
predecessor of the Smpion to be thoroughly
identified. 1t is said to be the Shioah tun-
mel, by means of which water was brought
down from source to the east of Jeru-
salem, and poured into the Pool of loam
mentioned in the Bible. This conduit is 36O
yards long. The distance as the bird flies,
between the two mouths of the tunnel Is
also only 800 yards, which proves that the
work was not executed in perfectly
straight line-due doubtless to the diff
culties which the engineers encountered in
their task, which (for the period was of a
really marvellous nature.
That the work was commenced from both
ends of the tunnel is not only proved by
the inscription, but also by the fact that
the marks of the boring tools, picks, etc.,
may still be seem all bearing in opposite
directions. The direction of the tunnel was
altered several times during the construc-
ton thereof, as there are several short gal
leries, which were evidently abandoned as
soon it was noted that working was
being done out of line The floor of the tun-
mel is finished with the greatest care, and
the workings vary from f1ve-eighths of
yard to one yard in width by from three
feet to nine feet in height, more or less ac-
cording to the hardness of the rock.
In the light of modern engineering science
the following questions suggest themselves:
How did these old-time engineers gauge
their direction, recognize and remedy their
errors In alignment? What tools did they
use to execute a piece of work which has
remained without equal or rival for 1880
years?

HUMIDITY WITHIN THE HOUSE.
Heating Problem is Well Worth Elk
haustive Study.

From American Homes and Gardens.
There is a most mistaken notion that hu-
nudity is a source of discomfort and annoy
ance. That much suffering is caused in
summer by an excess Of humidity is I'M
questionably true; but the relationship be-
tween temperature and humidity is far from
being understood, and particularly the part
humidity takes in the heating economy Of
the house In the winter.
That the average American house Is too
highly heated in winter will be admitted
without qualification; 1t is characteristic
OF almost every American interior where
coal can be had for consumption. 1t Is, of
course, necessary to keep warm in our cold
and trying winters, and the commonplace
way of doing SO is to burn up as much coal
as possible.
Scientific study of the heating problem
has, however, demonstrated that the best
way to heat a house, the safest way in
which to keep warm, is to burn coal in a
scientific way, using 1t properly, getting the
most out of it, and conducting the perform
ance with the aid of scientific apparatus
contrived to secure the best results
Some very curious effects have been noted
from the study of heating conditions.
Rooms in which the temperature Is higher
than that of other rooms on other days feel
colder to the occupants than when the room
thermometer reads less. Investigation has
brought out the remarkable fact that there
Is direct relationship between the effect
of temperature and the moisture in the air.
In other words, given two rooms of equal
temperature, the one with the greater hui
Nudity will feel the warmer; or, put 1t an
other way. the room which has the greater
humidity will require less temperature as
recorded by the thermometer, than the one
which is drter. The obvious conclusion
from such observations is that proper re-
lationship must be maintained between the
humidity and the temperature of our
houses DR.. Henry Mitchell Smith who
has given much time to the investigation
or this subject, suggests about 60 per
cent never less than 90 per cent nor more
than 10. With such a percentage of humid
lty temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit
is found amply sufficient and comfortable
Two results follow from proper adjust
ment of the relationship between tempera-
ture and humidity. There is greater per-
sonal comfort and less danger from dis
ease, because with this adjustment comes
a more healthful atmosphere. The hu,nid-
lty within the house bears more scientific
relationship to that without, a condition
quite essential to good health in winter.
