Petroleum In Illinois.

The production of Petroleum In 1908
was the largest on record. The increases
came from the steady growth in Illinois
and California. Neither field showed phe-
nomenal development. California re-
sponded to the highest prices consistent
with depleted stocks, and Illinois showed
the continued effect Of the great invest
ments of the previous year in the new
territory, The gain In number of bar
rels and In percentage was greater In
Illinois than in any other State. Dur
ing the last half of 1907 the rate Of pro-
duction was more than twice as great as
In the first half and this increase con-
tinued throughout 19OS, with u, gain Of
fully 80 per cent in the product, or over
100000 barrels beyond the output II

Some Valuable ston.a

The Emperor Francis JOSS 2h owns
the Florentine, which has a. event
full history. To the King of Portugal
belongs the Star of the South, valued
at &3,000,000; while in the Russian
sceptre is the OrloT which once
adorned a Brahmin idol, says Home
Chat.
Such stones as these are so large
that they are practically unstable.
No one person is rich enough to pur-
chase them. Again the expense Of
cutting ts enormous. The CulIinan
diamond will require at least E10. .00G
TO be spent on it for this alone. Even
then, the gem now 1924 carats, will
weigh some 1900 carats, while the
sections cut away will themselves
form valuable stones, ranging from
twenty carats downward.

THE WINDOW SILL MIRROR
Rarely Seen in New York But PienEs
1fui in Philadelphia.

Every once in a while you see one
Of them in New York but not often.
They're commoner in Brooklyn,
but are nowhere seen in the pro-
fusion that you find them in Phila-
delphia. Meaning of course, those
mirror devices people have on the
sills of the second floor windows to
give tip on who is coming up the
street or down the street, or more
important, who is at the front door.
They strike the average observer as
rather provincial in idea because he
thinks instinctively of the shut In
person who's only pleasure is in see
ing who's on the street. But
they're very helpful in telling when
a caller is getting near, so that the
woman of the house has time to
make a hurried toilet and be calmly
waiting IN her very best when the
visitor comes IN. Also they give q
chance to sound the n6s at home
warning to the servants New York

Singing Pigeons

The queer Chinese change pigeons
into sOng-birds by fastening whistles
to their breasts. The wind OF their
fight then causes a wierd and plain
tive music that is seldom sileneed in
the pigeon-haUnted cities of Pekin
and Canton. The Belgians, great
pigeon-fyers, fasten whistles be-
meath the wings of the valuable rae.
ing carriers, asserting that the shTill
noise is sure protection against
hawks and other birds of prey. AS
a similar protection, reeds, emitting
an odd wailing sound, are fixed to
the tall feathers of the dispatch
beaf ring pigeons of the German army.

The GingkO Tree.

lent family. of whic4. 1t Is now, ap-
parently. the last surviving repre-
sentative. At one time 1t seems to
have bssA widely spread. A singu-
