BIGGEST OIL BAROMETER
STANDS 81 FEET HIGH

y A huge oil barometer has been
constructed in the city of Faenzo,
Italy, as q monument to its dis
tinguished citizen, Torricelli, the
Inventor of the barometer, the ter
centenary of whose birth Is cele-
brated this year. The liquid col
umn In such a barometer stands
normally at about 81 feet, and its
fluctuations are read in feet, where
those of the ordinary mercury
barometer are in inches. This is
due. of course, to the fact that as

sphere.
1t was at first intended to use
water as the liquid. in which case
the column would have stood nor
mally at about 80 feet; but this
plan was abandoned, owing to the
ease of evaporation, Glycerine was
next tried, but the normal height of
The column was only 81 feet, and It
was desirable to have It much

antitrust activities as they have

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 26.-
Efforts of Standard Oil to take
hand In the selection of the attor-
ney general of the Taft cabinet
have thrown this town into a fer
ment. The. real reason for Presi-
dent Roosevelts announced visit to
Georgia is to be found in his desire
to talk with Judge Taft on this
topic.
When the president-elect passed
through Washington few days
ago he told some friends in close
confidence that he was thinking of
appointing as his attorney general
either Mr.. Nagel of st. Louis or
Mr.. Wickersham of the firm of
Strong & Cadwalader of New York.
Both these gentlemen, it is now
learned have close Standard Oil
connections, and their indorse-
ments to Judge Taft are Standard
Oil Endorsements. Mr.. Nagel is a
partner of the man denounced by
President Roosevelt recently for
his Standard Oil connections in the
southwest. Mr.. Wickersham has
been attorney for numerous cor
porations in New York which are
closely allied in their business in
terests with Standard Oil.
The campaign of Standard Oil
begins with an announcement that
Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota
shall not under any circumstances
be appointed attorney general. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. KEEL
logg has given evidence of his
abilities and purpose Ito put the
Standard Oil trust where it be-
longs. and some of its members
possibly behind the bars. Mr. Kel-
logg likewise conducted the Haa-
riman investigation. There is no
doubt about Mr.. Kelloggs ability.

Miss Sara Edna Lavell and w. P.

morning by Rev. Verhagen at the

The ceremonies were elaborate, as
the bride is the daughter of

nearly having a bad fire in his
store this morning about $50.
He lighted a fire in the Stove
in the storeroom and believes
that part of the match flew
over into a pile of clothing,
causing the blaze. A fine au-
tomobile coat belonging to Mrs.
Cramer was practically de-
stroyed, and several piles of
suits are badly damaged by fire
and water. The department.
responded to the alarm but
they did not turn on any water,
as Mr.. Cramer had put out the
fire. The large gasoline tank
for the lights in the store were
near the stove and had the fire
gotten started an explosion
would have occurred, which
might have resulted in consid-
cradle damage.
