finding of a gold mine Of honey IN ~.

finding Of gold mine Of honey In tho
rocks banks near Sapulpa.
NJ. L. Kelley and John CLANCY, two
prominent oil men Of Sapulpa, are the
parties implicated in the story. Mr..
Kelley and Mr.. CLANCY started out
Monday morning from Sapulpa to drive
to well they are drilling on the Doggy
land, seven miles west of Sapulpa.
The men were about half way to the
well when suddenly they were attacked
by a large drove of bees. The bees
swarmed about the buggy and stung
the men and horses until they were
compelled to seek refuge. They
whipped up their team and drove 10
the cabin Of an Indian named Wata-
hee. Here they told Of their adventure
and had the pain alleviated By the In
dian, who put some kind Of prepare
ton on their wounds.
In conversation with the Indian con-
corning the occurrence they were told
Of the many bees in the hills ana
caves about three miles west of Sapul-
pa. They did not believe his story at
first. He said that the Indians around
his cabin were getting gallons of honey
in the caves every day. This set the
oil men to thinking. That afternoon
they went to the place he told them Of.
On their way they met an old Indian
woman who was carrying two pals Of
sparkling strained honey. This en-
couraged them.
They came upon big post oak In
the field. This had been hacked In
several places and the honey was drip
ping from the cut In the tree into reg
ular pools on the ground. They did
not stop at the tree, but went on TO
the caves. AS they neared the rock
cliffs they could hear a droning like
that of signing pine trees, SO many In
number were the bees As they came
closer they could see kind Of black
cloud lowering before the rocks There
must have been fifty big swarms Of
bees around the rocks.
When they were close up to the
cliffs they noticed huge cracks in the
rocks, and large holes. In these the
honey was dripping almost In small
streams. There were some twenty
buckets and pals setting in the rocks
catching the honey. The Indians are
said to break the combs of honey with
sticks, and let the honey run out into
pals. A pail will fill In two days
time. 1t is said that the finding of
this great bee industry by the oil men
account for the great amount Of
strained honey the Indians have been
marketing. 1t was thought before that
the Indians raised the bees.
The oil men say that the sandstones
In the cliffs are just saturated with
honey and little piece of stone in q
bucket Of water will sweeten It, The
discoveries are at loss to know how
the bees came to be there. 1t Is said
by Indians and other old timers In
this section that about ten years ago
an old Indian who had few bees was
killed. 1t Is thought by them that his
bees went wild and multiplied and in
creased in number until at present
there are millions Of honeymakers.-.

PlutO's Safety Valve,

This is the grewsome and sugges.
tive name given by the people in that
region to hole in the ground, out in
Arizona. The hole is in low. sandy
valley, fianked by high mountains, and
Is about three ieet in diameter and OF
unknown depth cloud of vapor is
constantly rising out of it. The ground
about the hole is quite damp, and by
digging into it peculiar water may be
obtained. A slight draught of the
water will make a man so wakeful
that he cannot go to sleep for more
than two days and nights, and If he
washes his feet in it, they will turn
the color of brass and feel as If they
were paralyzed. Every evening, regu-
larly about seven o'clock, great vol
umes of sand shoot up into the air
from the hole, preceded sometimes by
loud noises! at other times, the yapor
stops coming up for ten minutes before
the sand-spurt. The people In the
neighborhood do not attempt to ex-
plain the phenomenon. but there is no
reasonable doubt that it is due to some
volcanic force.

He Must Not Talk,

1t Is a good idea to teach the small
boy that he should not talk while his
father is reading, but here is a case
n which the prohibition was carried
% disastrous extent. Harry had
been lectured so many times about his
inopportune talking that he usually
asked permission to speak. He saw,
one evening, that his father was bur
led in the newspaper" SO he asked his
mother If he might not say something.
His mother told him that his father
must not be disturbed Harry mildly
insisted, however, asking leave to say
lust one word" but the mother was
firm and would not give the necessary
permission. Finally, the father laid
down his paper and said:
Now, Harry, what is it that you
wish to say?"
"Oh, nothing" answered the boy.
Except that the bathtub is running
over"

A Simple Expcriment,

simple Experiment.
Here is charming little experiment
with which you can entertain a party
of friends for good half hour and
which you will find full Of interest for
yourself.
All you need is spool, pencil, q
knitting needle, some thread, a cork,
and tumbler of water-things which
any of our readers can easily find
about the house, with the possible ex-
ception of the knitting needle, which
you can replace by hatpin, If you
wish. and If your big sister Is not wear
ing hers.
Fill the tumbler with water nearly
to the brim. Stick the pencil. point
first, into the spool and stand the
spool by the glass. Trim the top of
the pencil with your Jack knife, so that
its top is half inch higher than the
rim of the tumbler.
Get a card or bit of pasteboard,
and from 1t cut triangular piece with
sides each two inches long. In each
corner make a pin hole, and pass the
end Of piece of thread through each
hole. Now knot the other ends Of the
thread together.
Stick one end of your hatpin into
the side Of the cork near the top, and
lay the knitting needle across the top
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1909-01-22

Of the pencil, with the bottom of the
cork resting on the surface of the
water in the glass. You would better
have tiny groove In the top Of the
pencil.
On the other end of the knitting
needle suspend the triangular bit of
pasteboard, as the picture shows. Now
you are ready for your experiment
Ask each of your friends to guess
how many matches can be laid on the
pasteboard without overbalancing the
needle and drawing the cork from the
water. They will guess absurdly low
numbers-two, three, four, ETC., for
the weight Of the card alone will make
the cork bob up and down and look as
II 1t might be lifted from the water at
any moment.
Now pile match after match on the
cardboard, and you will find that a
good sized pile will be required before
the cork can be lifted from the water {:
pile weighing much more than the
cork.
This is due to quality of the water
called surface tension" which holds
on to things with a very real force,
and by weighing first the cork and
then the matches on a small scale you
can find out just what is the surface
tension of the water in the glass: it
will be just the difference in weight be-
tween the cork and the matches.

leads to conversation.
"You are led subtly up to the touch.
There is an inquiry as to how your

A SURPRISING EFFECT.

~~O~~ON~@>

An old gentleman in one of the large
Eastern cities was asked to buy ticket
to f1reman's ball, and good naturedly
complied. The next question was what
to do with 1t. He had two servants,
either of whom would be glad to use 1t,
but he did not wish to show favoritism.
1t therefore occurred to him to buy
another ticket, so that both could at
tend. A writer In the st. Louis Re
public tells what happened.
Not knowing where the tickets were
sold, he inquired of a policeman, and
the officer suggested that he go to the
engine house. So the old gentleman
went to the engine house that evening,
but there was no one in sight. He had
never been in such place before, and
stood for a moment uncertain how %

Presently he saw an electric button
on the side Of the room, and put his
thumb on it.
The effect was electrical" in every
sense Of the word. Through the cell
ing, down the stairs, and from every
other direction fremen came running
and sliding. The horses rushed out Of
their stalls, and, in short, all the ma

Amid all this uproar stood the limo

Then he said, mildly, II should like

Rain Poor Substitute for Irrigation
And irrigation is better than rain,
infinitely better. That also sounds
like a paradox, but instead 1t is almost
a truism. What is better-to give a
plant just as much and no more water
than it needs and just when 1t needs
it: or to parch it or drown it accord
ing to the whim of the clouds? The
rain falls upon the just and upon the
unjust alike; upon your Strawberries
that cry for it and upon your sugar
beets that want uninterrupted sun.
shine. Rain Is all right in Its place,
but 1t is very poor substitute for ir-
rigation. Otherwise why would the
lawns of our cities be sprinkled or irri-
gated, instead of leaving them to the
tender mercy Of the clouds7 No. Arid
lands are more fertile than ordinary
lands, and irrigation is better than
rain.-Success Magazine.

Engineer Olsen's Mistake.
While nothing has been given out as
to the cause of the wreck, it is said to
have been due to a misunderstanding
of orders on the part of Engineer
Gustaf Olsen of the passenger train.
Olsen, however, claims he understood
his instructions perfectly. but that he
misread his watch, thus encroaching
on the time of the freight, which was
being drawn by two locomotives, the
first of which was in charge of his
brother, Sig Olsen.
Conductor Edward McCurdy Of the
passenger realized that Engineer Olsen
had either forgotten his orders or was
disobeying them as the train flashed
by Dotsero and he jumped for the bell
cord and signaled for an immediate
stop. Whether Engineer Olsen paid,
or attempted to pay, any attention to
his warning is not known, but in any
