curious spsotssls On the coast Of
California.
In the neighborhood OF Summerland,
on the coast OF California, ten miles
south Of Santa Barbara, the visitor
may behold at the present time a
strange and interesting spectacle the
like Of which was never seen In the
world before It is nothing more or
less than fishery for petroleum.
Out from the smooth, sandy beach
and extending at right angles there
with into the ocean are many long
docks or piers supporting old derricks
The latter are like any other derricks
constructed for such purpose, but in
stead Of being used to bring M oil
from the dry land they are made to
serve for fetching the fluid from be-
meath the waters Of the sea.
The piers described are, many OF
them, OF great length, stretching a quar-
ter OF a mile or more out into the Pa
ciHc.- IN order to tap the oil bearing
strata under the sea. Derricks are set
al along the beach itself, upheld by
piles, In order that the breakers may
low back and forth beneath them.
One might imagine that the discovery
Of the oil under the sea came about
through observation Of petroleum float
ing on the waves. Such does not seem,
however, TO have been the case. Pros
peetors for the precious fluid, having
come upon a productive oil field on
terra frma in the nelghborhood Of
Summerland. were naturally led down
% the ocean beach by the circum-
stance that the oil producing area ap-
peared 20 extend in that direction.
Finding that there was oil beneath the
very breakers, it occurred to them to
seek 1t farther out.
The petroleum obtained from under
the sea is remarkable, ike all the oil
IN the neighb0rhoOd, for containing q
great deal OF asphalt 1t is. in fact,
very impure and thick owing TO this
admixture Of an extraneOus substance.
But the asphalt itself is decidedly val
liable when separated and is being
utilized for paving and other such pur-
poses.-Saturday Evening Post.

INTERESTING The TEACHERS
Teachers Being Entertained and Amused at
County Expense.

The up date institute for teach
ers is not like the ones held in the
good old days. Now. examinations
are held before the institute, and the
sessions are devoted to hearing lee
lures from distinguished men. In the
days of old. institute lasted two and
three weeks, and instruction was
given. recitations heard. and at the
end, examinations held. Of course
the first method is best liked by the
superintendent, who thus only has one
week of institute. by the lecturers
who earn money going from place to
place, and lastly by the teachers who
do not have to spend much board,
money ana need not labor any harder
than they like. for the certificate does
not depend on institute work done.
The institute so far has been a sue
cess. There is large attendance of
teachers, DR.. Search gave on Mon
day and Tuesday six lectures and
these were uplifting and educating.
His lecture on winter in Switzer-
land describing winter sports and
dangers was very interesting. The
lecture on Tuesday evening on the
leading points of interest in the great
cities of Europe and America allowed
him full play for most instructive
talk. There was chalk talk on
Wednesday evening. Prof. Storms of
Ames speaks Friday night and on
Saturday morning Prof. OFT gives his
famous lecture ON "Sour Grapes. -
The public is invited to all lectures.
Prof. Fellows and President Van Ness
are among the working force.

times have CHARACTERIZATION.
