JEALOUS OF. IMMIGRATION TO
NORTH DAKOTA.

The Breeders Gazette, a publication
which has a general circulation
through the middle west and the
northwest, has on several occasions
taken advantage Of an opportunity to
discourage immigration to North Da,
kota- The natural inference from the
Gazette's attitude il that 1t dislikes te
see the large migration OF settlers
from the middle west, Illinois, Indiana
and adjoining states, to the Drairies
OF North Dakota, where men may bf
land owners instead OF land renters
and obtain good land at a little mors
than the rental they are compelled e
pay in the older settled states. Ths

The public is not aware that the
great rock of Gibraltar is tumbling
down-that it's crumbling, rotting
masses must be continually bound
together with huge patches of ma
sorry and cement.
Yet they who sail past Gibraltar
cannot fail to notice on the eastern
slope of the fortress enormous sill
ver-colored patches cleaning in the
sun. These patches In some cases
thirty or forty feet square. are the
proof of Gibraltar's disintegration
OF thick, strong cement they keep
huge spurs of the cliffs side from
tumbling into the blue sea.
Sea captains. cruising in the Med
iterranean, say that Gibraltar has
been rotting and crumbitng for many
years, but that of late the disintegra-
ton has gone on at faster rate than
heretofore.
They say that the stone forming
this imposing cliff is rotten stone,
and that in a little while the phrase,
the strength of Gibraltar" will be
meaningless Chronicle.

ANCIENT USAGE OF THE FORK.
On Being Invited Out One Furnished
His Knife and Fork.

The first mention of the use of
forks in history was at the table of
John, the good Duke of Burgundy,
and he only possessed two, one Of
gold and the other of silver. At that
period the loaves of bread were
made cylindrical. They were cut in
slices and piled upon a trencher and
placed beside the host, who carved
the meat with pointed carving
knife, holding the joint with skew
er of wrought gold or silver, which
he stuck into the joint to hold it Sc
cure while cutting the meat. Hav-
Ing cut the meat in slices, he took 1t
on the point of the knife and placed
It on slice of bread, which was
served to the guest This ancient
custom of serving meat Is still prac-
ticed in some hamlets on the CONT
nent of Europe. This decoration is
still the vogue in our delicatessen
stores. When 1t first became custo-
mary to use forks a gentleman on re-
ceipt of an invitation to dinner
would send his servant with his
~
no servant. he would carry them In
his breeches pockets, as a carpenter
carries his rule to-day. This an
cient custom still obtains among the
peasantry of the Tyrol and some
parts of Germany and Switzerland,
they carrying their knife, fork and
spoon in case. Sometimes all three
are found together, with a rivet
through the extreme end of the
handle.
This form of feeding, I understand,
is generally used in all places in
Italy, their forks being for the most
part made of iron or steel, and some
of silver; but those are used only by
gentlemen. The reason of this their
curiosity Is, because the Italian can
not by any means endure to have his
dish touched with fingers, seeing all
mems fingers are not alike clean.
Hereupon | myself thought good to
initiate the Italian fashion of this
forked cutting of meat, not only
while | was in Italy, but also in Ger
many, and oftentimes in England
since | came home.
The use of forks was at first much
ridiculed in England as an effemi-
nate piece of finery. In one of Beau
mont and Fletcher's plays your
fork carving traveller" is spoken of
with much contempt, and Ben JON
son has Joined in the laugh against
them in his Devils an ASS. New

HALF THE WORLDS COAL OIL.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The United
States supplied more than half of the
petroleum produced in the world in
1904. A statement of the worlds I ro-
duction of petroleum, prepared by the
British Board of Trade, which has just
reached the bureau of statistics of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
puts the petroleum production OF the
world in 1904 at 9,303 600, 900 gallons,
of which 1876 900 gallons were
produced in the United States, $780,
600 900 gallons in Russia, 202, SOC, 900
gallons in Austria, 206, 100000 gallons
in Java and Sumatra, 135,0O0,000 gal
Ions in Roumania l05 100000 gallon
in British India principally in Bur
MAJ 40 100000 gallons in Japan, 2o,-
600 900 gallons in Canada and 1S,5O0,-
600 gallons in Germany.
The world production for 1904 break
all records. In 1908, which made ths
highest record of any year prior toe
1894, the total production was but s.
504 900 600, and in 1902 it was 1885,
100000. The increase in 1903 and 1904
occurs chiefly in the United States.
Tho United States and Russia produce
practically nine-tenths of the petro-
leum of the world.

Underground Wonder.

At Medina, Italy, Is a large tract
in which, when the well-diggers got
sixty-three feet from the surface,
they came to bed of chalk. Through
this they bored with an augur Just
five feet. They then withdrew from
the pit before the augur was re-
moved and upon its extraction the
water burst through the aperture
with great violence, and quickly
filled the newly made we'll, which
was afterwards affected neither by
rain nor drought. At another point,
at the depth of fourteen feet, were
found the ruins of an ancient city,
paved streets, houses, floors and dif-
ferent pieces of mason work. I'm
der this was earth made of vegetable
matter, and at twenty-six feet large
trees entire, such as walnut trees
with the walnuts sticking to the
stems. and the leaves and branches
in perfect preservation. At twenty
eight feet chalk was found mixed
with shells, the bed being eleven feet
thick. Under this vegetables were
found again.

Stockings of Human Hair.

They are black stockings, thick.
stiff, lustrous, and the price mark on
them was SIS.
From China" said the dealer.
From Northern China. Every fam
lily has a few pairs of human hair
stockings there. They are worn over
the cotton stockings-they are too
prickly to be worn next the skin
and, properly treated, they last a
lifetime.
THE Chinese exporter who sold
me these stockings said when Il
child's hair Is shaved in Northern
China the hair is preserved in a spe-
cial hair box Of lacquer. AS soon as
the box Is full enough the hair Is ia
ken from 1t and pair of stockings
is woven. Such stockings have a
sentimental, almost religious
value. and they are rarely parted
with 1t would be safe to bet that
there are not six other pairs q hair
stockings on sale in America.-Bos-

SECRET OF BREATHING WELLS.
Due to Changes In Atmospheric Pres
sure or I'm Ternpevasups.

The United States Geographical
Survey has on hand the investigation
of curious phenomena known as
blowing" or breathing" wells. In
the course of collecting well records,
the hydrologists of the survey have
observed many wells that emit cur
rents of air with more or tess toTce,
sometimes accompanied by a whist
ling sound which can be beard for
long distance.
The best known examples of this
type of we'll are found throughout
the State of Nebraska Blowing wells
are also known to occur in Rapides
Parish, in Southern Louisiana. The
force of the air currents In one of
the Southern Louisiana wells is suffi-
cient to keep mans hat suspended
above it.
The cause of such phenomena is
mainly due to changes in atmospheric
pressure or to changes in tempera-
ture. During the progress of low
barometer storm over these regions,
the air is expelled from the blowing
wells. With a rising barometer the
blowing becomes rapidly less until
the current Is finally reversed.
Differences in the temperature Of
the surface air and the air In the soil
also produce similar effects. When
the interstices between the grains of
sand, gravel, etc, in which the well
is driven are filled with water, the
phenomena of blowing is much less
noticeable.-St. Louis Republic.

EDISON'S OBVIOUS INVENTIONS.
Why He Would Like the Aid of Some
Judges.

Thomas A. Edison recently made a
suggestion by which a common fail
ing of judges may be turned to ac-
count. The patent law demands that
an invention shall show more evil
dences of imagination than are re-
quired in the ordinary makeshift i'm
provements that are made every day
In machine shops; and yet the sim
plest devices are the most effective
and the most profitable. The Fed
eral courts have several times inval-
idated Mr.. Edison's patents on the
ground that the improvements made
by his devices were Obvious" solu-
tons of the mechanical problems.
and. therefore, not patentable. AS
in many problems that require hard
study, the solutions did seem obvious
enough-afterwa
Not long ago Mr.. Edison was try
ing to work out a new piece of mech
anism. 1t seemed a simple enough
problem when he began 1t, but 1t
proved to be extremely difficult. At
ter several days exasperatingly flu
tile work his attorney happened to
ask him how 1t was coming along.
"No good, yet" replied Mr.. Edison.
but of course the thing is perfectly
obvious. l wish you'd bring COM
mittee of those fellow judges down
here that are always saying that. If
this thing is so almighty obvious per-
haps they can tell me how to make
it. "-Harper' Weekly.

The Englishwoman may not un-
reasonably claim to be the best look

she would not pretend for a mo-
ment that all the essentials OF good

COOKING FISH IN CLAY.
Improves Flavor and Keeps Flesh
Firm and Hard.

THE natives of the North Woods
have more appetizing ways to cook
fish than any other class of cooks in
the world, believe" said Leonard
Kehoe, of Tomah. 1T surprises peo-
pie who come into the fishing coun-
try to learn that there are SO many
ways of cooking fish. The universal
favorite, however, seems to be the
clay method.
This is SO simple that it Is nearly
always used when the cook can Sc
cure some good. firm clay. The fish
Is wrapped in the clay without hav-
ing SO much as scale ruff1ed by the
cleaning knife. He is not dressed,
and the only seasoning Is a pinch of
salt placed in the mouth. When the
fish is done up in the clay the pack
age Is placed in the embers Of the
camp fire to bake When it is done
the clay Is cracked open, and the
scales of the FISH are found to be
sticking in the clay, and the head Is
of the fish cooked in this way can
not be described. Some OF the cooks
have habit of cutting long cash
along each side of the dorsal fin and
inserting a slice of fat bacon. This
adds greatly to the favor of the fish
Another thing which makes the
fish so fine in the woods is that they
are generally cooked in a short time
after coming out of the water. The
cold streams keep the flesh firm and
hard, making them far superior to
the fish one gets in the cities. Mill
