FISHING FOR OIL
Curious Spectacle on the csass o,
California.

Curious Spectacle on the csask 81
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 seen In the
world before. 1t is nothing moro o,
less than a 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 derricka
constructed for such q purpose, but In
stead Of being used to bring up oil
from the dry land they are made to
serve for fetching the nuid from BE-
meath the waters Of the oea.
The piers described are, many of
them. Of great length. stretching Z quar-.
ter Of q mile or more out into the Pa.
cf1c, IN order to tap the OIL bearing
strata under the sea. Derricks arc Get
all along the beach ITSELF, upheld by
piles, In order that the breakers mas
dow back aud forth beneath them.
One might imagine that the discovery
Of the oil under the sea came about
through observation Of petroleum noat-
ing on the waves. Such does not seem.
however, to have been the case. Pros.
pectoes for the precious duid, having
come upon a productive on field on
terra drma in the neighborhood OF
6ummerland. were naturally led down
to the ocean beach by the circum-
stance that the oil producing area ap-
peaxed to extend In that direction.
Finding that there was On beneath the
very breakers. It occurred 70 them to
seek It farther out.
The petroleum obtained from undss
the sea is remarkable. like all the oil
In the neighborhood, for containing q
great deal of asphalt. It Is, in tact,
very impure and thick owing to this
admixture of an extraneous substance.
But the asphalt itself IL decidedly val.

Wyoming. When Bob left he was
clad In buckskin and spoke only his
mother tongue.
He remained at school during the
stipulated time, gradually becoming q

was manifested when he returned to
his own people than that of his name
