SCIENCE GOES AsTRAY.
lChicago News.)

tChiCagO News.)
Mister Percy Pumpkinhuller had a scien-
tific mind.
He devoted his attention to the study of
his kind;
And his observation taught him that a
mortal is astute,
And love of lazy loafing is d human at
tribute
So he sat and sadly pondered on the ten
dencv of man
To desert his honest labor and to rest
him when ne can.
Till happy idea struck him to eliminate
the shirk
And to turn the lazielopher germ to one
OF restless work.
He retired unto his study-it was up a
winding stair
And he smudged his classic features, and
he rumpled up his hair:
Then he took some nitric acid and an
ounce Of paris green,
And q peck Of picked pretZels and q
pound of paraffine.
And he boiled them in a kettle till he
thought the mixture right.
Then he seasoned the decOction with a
stick Of dynamite:
Then he added sulphur matches all ac-
cording to his rule
And he placed the panacea meath an
apple tree to cool.
Now it happened that a donkey was the
humble instrument
Fate selected as victim of the scien-
lists intent;
And he wandered. idly browsing on the
sunny, grassy green,
Till he spied the tempting mixture, then
he licked the kettle clean
So the shades Of evening left him, resting
quietly at ease.
But a quick, gslvanic tremor shook his
Enaried and knObby knees
Then he tuned his vocal organs with a
few emphatic bars.
And he voiced indignant protest to the
white and silent stars
He awoke the sleeping echoes for a dozen
miles around
With a rasping. thrOaty bellOw-'twas a
masterpiece Of sound
And he Weakened more than echoes, for
the scientist arose,
And he hustled out 10 chase him in his
striped slumber clothes.
Percy hit him with q shovel. Then the
balmy summer night
Was alive with little pieces-f0r he struck
the dynamite.
And the sulphur matches settled TO the
earth around a bone.
TIL they formed the blazing legend. Just
let well enough alone

cALVEsToN's sEAWALL.

Galveston citizens are being congrat-
ulated upon their escape from repeti-
ton OF the horrors of the night of Sept.
S, 1900. when the Texas city was we'll
night obliterated by the storm which
swept in upon the city and left thou
sands of mangIed corpses in the wreck
age. The stout-hearted survivors upon
recovering from the shock of the ap-
palling disaster set about to protect
their lives and property from future
Gulf hurricanes, and constructed a sea-
wall to hold back the waves. The EN-
gineer in charge of construction gives
the following facts concerning it: The
length of the wall is 1883 feet. It
rests upon a piling foundation, driven
fOTty-thTee feet in the ground below
mean low water. The wall is sixteen
feet at the base, sixteen feet high and
FIVE feet wide at the top, curving from
top to base, and protected on he Gulf
side by a double thickness of sheet-pil-
ing and by a rip-rap of granite twenty
seven feet wide and from three to seven
feet in thickness. The cost including
the purchase Of a I5O-foot right of way.
was Sl.5OO.OOO
In addition to building the seawal It
became necessary to regrade the entire
city of Galveston. The top of the sea
wall is seven and one-haif feet above
extreme flOOd-water mark, prior to Sept.
8 1900, and something more than d foot
above the flood mark Of that year. As
establishing a proper contour for the
city, and as furnishing a most substan-
tial backing for the sea wall itself, Gal
weston was raised from eight feet above
mean tide on the bay side to seventeen
feet at the seawau on the Gulf side.
The barrier thus raised has proved
effective. and viii doubtless continue to
withstand the fury of wind and wave.
1t stands as a monument to the enter
prise of the citizens Of Galveston who
refused to remain cast down in the face
of one of the most awful catastrophes
of modern times

The ROAD 10 MANDALAY
VOL FIELDS OF BURMA.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

But this. of course. proved too eXpen-
sive and experiments have been ndue ll
pipe lines, one to RangOon having Deeh
finished recently which is nearly gu miles
long. Too few pumping stations were
provided al first and the lire was not
altogether satisfactory, but this defect
will be remedied in a short time.
The Burmese oil is remarkable for the
great proportion Of paraffin wax Wnicn
It contains, and for its extraordinary
low flashing point, which is under 40
degrees Fahrenheit. 1t is refined in the
country and the candles made from the
wax have an extensive sale Throughout
the Orient and Australasia. Very little or
the oil has been used for fuel, but with
increased production and a cheaper meth
Cd of bringing the oil 20 the seabOard
this feature is expected to take on great
Importance within the next few years
Side by side with the up-to-date meth
DDS employed by the big company, the
ancient Burmese pit-WellS are stiH OPP
Grated by a remnant Of the 1Oya- But
the greater part or the native prOduc-
ton. which is also taken by the Burma
Oil company, Is derived from the wells
at Cheduba. The method OF gathering
oil in that section is most primitive. The
earth is spaded to d depth Of about two
feet and a rough bank thrown up around
a space about twenty yards square. Inc
rains soon transform this into shallow
pond, and the oil well is ready for bust
ness. Each morning the owner goes out
to his pond and finds it covered with
q thin scum of thick, rich oil. He skins
It off with a c0coanut-shell dipper tied
to a bamboo rod. and puts it into a re
filming pot The pond is constantly bub-
bling with escaping gases and the daily
crOp OF oil from a new prospect is con-
siderable. The close of the rainy season
puts an end to the harvest, as the pond
soon dries up. In the dry season the
oil-farmer digs the soil in the bottom
of the pond, and the deeper he can ioos-
en- il the greater will be the harvest OF
oil when the rains come again.
Aside from the native pits operated by
the ancient monopoly and the springs
which really furnish a small portion Of
the annual production, there are seven Eu-
ropean companies engaged in oil produc-
ton in Burma, having a combined capt.

INVESTMENTS.

The wealth of the United States has
found more profitable investment at
home than abroad in times past. but
the capitalists of the country are be-
ginning 10 look 10 foreign countries To
md place for the employment OF their
idle dollars. Il is estimated by writer
in the North American Review that
every year in Europe and the United
states. the saving for investment in
newly manufactured or old established
securities amounts to $500. 600 600. The
nations with a surplus 60 invest either
at home or abroad. i'm their ranks. are.
United states. $500. GOO 900; Great Brit
ain. $3.50 100000; France, $+O0. 900, 600:
Germany. $31OOO9.O 600: Holland. Belgium
and Switzerland $2500OO.000, Austria

600; Italy. $6O0OoO0O; Spain and Portu-
sal S60O500CO. and Norway and Sweden.
S1OC00O00.
The foreign investments Of the United
states are estimated az between 8. $50. e.
ooo.000 and $2.0C0,00O.C00 According 10
the article in the Review. the strongest
appeal FOR American capital comes from
the Latin countries south OF the Gulf
of Mexico. Tt has not been ignored. Al
though Europe holds one billion dollars
of TIE debts of South American repub-
lis, the United States is taking her
phase Wei up toward the top Of the ma
hoas Who are financing that country.
american investments in Brazil are now
so large that there Is a demand there
for an American bank TO compete with
these which English. German and
ltIiian enterprise has established. Two
OF the most important banking houses
OF New YORK arc behind the S25. 600 600
railroad project I'm which the govern
mcnt OF Bolivia IS concerned. Tw-
large banking firms in New York have
supplied capital fo- a S12.O00,O0O nitrate
DEVELOPMENT scheme in Chile. and still
another has $4,000 COO i'm Brazilian COT
fee valorizat!on. American capital 10
the extent of Sl0000.000 is represented
in the construction of a Peruvian rail-
road. Argentina has $4,000. O0O of Amer
lean money; Ecuador. $1,000 600; Colon
bia, 100000; The Dominican Republic,
Sl5,O0o.000; and in Central America the
American investment is reckoned at
s5O.0o0.0o0. of which the larger part is in
Costa Rica."
That the government takes an interest
in the placing of American capital
abroad is evidenced by the protest re-
garding the Chinese railway loan. Com
merce follows capital and the immigrant
as well as the flag, and if the United
States is to gain and hold its share Of
the worlds trade we must keep pace
with the other great nations in making
investments abroad.
