Presently, as often happens on q

Rock OIL. Not Coal OIL.

There IL widespread belief that
the oil generally known as coal oil
was discovered within comparatively
short time. As matter Of fact, II
has been known for centuries. There
IL a well, or spring, on the island OF
Zante that has been flowing for two
thousand years. The Greek historian
Herodotus, speaks Of this we'll. I,
Ii said, also, that the people Of India
have used the oil from time immemor
ial. The boys and girls should remem
Der that coal oil 10 not the right name
for It; 1t is really rock oil. its scien
tific name being petroleum (from tn,
Greek petra, rock, and the Latir

,, cause many people believe that /
comes from coal down In the earth
Some of 1t does, but moot Of 1t come

those In which coal Is found. Tn
best authorities say that 1t has beel
made by the decay Of seaweeds ant
animals. The oil as 1t comes from tn
earth Is one Of the most disgusting
substances known, 30 far as appear
ance goes, but it is of the creates

Taking Care of Goldfish.


Many boys and girls have goldfish
as pets, and would like to know, per.
haps, the best way to take care Of them.
They should be kept in broad
mouthed glass vessel-a vessel with
straight sides Is best-which should al
ways be nearly full Of water. A few
shells and a small quantity Of gravel
should be put into the vessel. Many
persons are in the habit Of dropping
bread crumbs into the water for the fish
10 eat, but that is very bad for them, as
the bread soon sourE Regularly pre-
pared fish food may be had, which
should be given to them every DAY or
two. 1t Is q good plan, too, to keep
a piece Of water-weed in the jar; II
will grow floating on the water, and
the fish like to nibble at It. The water
should be changed at least twice q
week, and 1t should be siphoned out
not poured. The best way to do this
IA to use a piece Of rubber tubing, say
| ls inches long. Put one end into the
water, and the other end in your
mouth. After sucking the water part
| ly up In the tubing. grasp the lattel
| tightly with your thumb and finger
take the end out Of your mouth, and
still holding 1t tightly, drop 1t init
the vessel into which the water is b
be drained, which should be lowe
than the fish-jar. The water will a
once begin to flow. and will continu
to do 80 as long as the drain end o
the tube Is kept lower than the en-,
In the Jar.

DESTROYED BY FIRE
Ranch Home Northeast of Town
Burned at an Early Hour
Yesterday.

The country home of Henry Sew
ers, located one half mile east of the
city in the Fruitvale district was com
pletely destroyed by fire, with all It's
contents, at an early hour yesterday
morning.
1t is believed that the fire started
froom a defective fue. One of the
young daughters of Mr.. SEWERS was
first to detect the fire. The pres
ence of smoke caused her to make in
vestigations and she found that the
ceiling of one of the rooms was in
flames. Just then the fire burst out
in all its fury and the family barely
had time to escape from the burn
ing mouse with few articles of cloth
ing. The neighbors responded to the
alarm but efforts to save the house
or its contents were frultless.
However the property is covered
by insurance and the net loss Will not
be heavy.
Some time ago Mr.. Sewers sold
his ranch and residence to F. H.
Perry, of Trumbull. Nebraska, but
had not yet given possession.
Mr.. Perry and family expected TO
leave Nebraska for Grand Junction to
take possession of the ranch about
February LIST being almost ready to
skip a carload of household goods
to the valley. As the residence had
been formally transferred to him
the loss. save the insurance. will prob
ably be his.
The house was a two-story five
room frame building.
The loss is about $4,000 nearly
covered by insurance,
The fire created a good deal of ex-
element in the community.

Mr.. Martin Succeeds Mr.. Barr as
Exposition Head


After a four.hour session, which
was attended by about 60 OF the
1O5 members, the board of d.
rectors of the Jamestown EXPOSE
ton Company on Saturday accept
ed the resignation of James M.
Barr as director general and ap
pointed to the position Alvah II.
Martin, first vice-president OF the
Exposition Company, member OF
the the old beard of governors,
president of the Merchants and
Planters Bank of Norfolk, clerk OF
the Norfolk County Court and the
leading Republican politician OF
eastern Virginia.
Following a telegram from Act
ing Secretary of the Treasury
Edwards requesting TIE continu-
ance of Mr.. Barr as director gen.
eral, the directors voted down a
resolution asking him to reconsid-
ed his resignation. A resolution
calling fos acceptance of the resig
nation was adopted after a heated
controversy.
Mr.. Barr resigned on September
IA as result of friction with
President Tucker, of the exposi-
ion, growing out of the admins
tretion of the social features of
the tercentennial.
Mr.. Barr was subsequently ask
ed to withdraw his resignation.
and a committee on ceremonies
was appointed to take charge OF
social functions under the direct
ion of the executive committee
and the board Of directors, all es-
Inmates of necessary expenses thus
incurred to be subject to the ap-
prevail of the director general. Mr.
Barr, however, declined to with
draw his resignation at that time.
When it became known that Mr..
Martin had been elected director
general of the fair, in opposition
to the wishes of the national gov
ernu emit TO which the exposition
owes 5000. 600, storm of criticism
was directed at the Jamestown tx"
position management.
A committee CO imposed OF Presl'
dent Tucker, Secretary Sheppard,
Treasurer Beaman, Director Gen
eral Martin and George A.Schmelz
a banker of Richmond, has beer
appointed for the avowed purpose
of patching up matters with the
government.
At the time that Mr. Barr wa:
N ade director general G. Brooks
Johnston chairman and others Of
the defunct board Of governors
sounded the Treasury Department
on the election of Mr.. Msrtin to
the place. Mr.. Cortelyou wo1lc
not agree to it, and practically
dictated the naming CT Mr.. Barr.
