The greatest oil fire in history is
supposed to have been the fire which
by a conservative estimate destroyed
more than 100000 barrels of oil last
year in the San Geronimo field near
Tampico, Mexico.
The oil stra .um was struck at q
depth OF 1,S40 feet in six inch cased
well. The torrent of oil burst forth
and was quickly followed by blow
out of gas which opened a big orifice
in the earths surface, swallowing up
the derrick and whole drilling outfit,
including the engine and boiler The
gas and oil were ignited from the fiIe
under the boiler and the great fire was
in this manner started.
1t burned for sixty-two days. The
vortex or crater through which the oil
poured was gradually enlarged until 1t
was more than 500 feet wide. A rim OF
rocks and earth was formed around its
outer edge resembling a volcanoes era
ter. According 20 the Techinal World
the blaze extended to a height of from
1,4O0 to 1900 feet and the column of
black smoke arose above 1t tosa height
of about 5000. On top of the smoke
rested a great white cloud of vapor
which was estimated to extend sky
ward to an additional height of 1000
feet. The blaze could be seen 200
miles.
The great oil fire was extinguished
by means of six centrifugal pumps
which We're kept constantly busy for
two weeks throwing mud and water
into the crater. Heavy discharges OF
dynamite around the rim of the oriflce
also aided in the extinguishing work.
Shortly after the flames were put
out the oil burst forth again in greater
volume than ever and its output was
estimated at 100000 barrels a day. It
has been difficult problem to care
for the oil The Mexican Government
sent several hundred soldiers to the
scene to assist tho owners of the well
in building earthern reservoirs for tenn
porary storage of the product The oil
overhowed these reservoirs and large
quantities escaped into the San Ger
onimo River and Lake Tamiahua.

HOME TREATMENT
FOR STRAINED EYES

A soothing tonic for the eyes is necessary
on every dressing table, for as soon as
these organs of sight become tired they
are apt to smart and have a heavy,
droopy feeling. A tonic made from five
grains each of powdered alum and sui
phate of zinc, with a gill Of boiled and
cooled water, is excellent for this feeling.
The liquid is shaken until the powders
are dissolved, then filtered through coarse
brown paper One cannot be too careful
to have all preparations for the eyes free
from any particles, however minute, or
they will cause irritation.
The eyes may be wet with this. or the
liquid may be poured into an eye cup,
and the lids open and shut in the bath.
In the latter case there SHOULD be an
empty bottle in which to keep the tonic
which has been used once or more, add
ing fresh to it when needed.
To Prevent Eyes From Watering.
When the eyes water easily and the lids
are red a prescription recommended is
one compounded from half Il gram of
borax, five grams Of ounce seed mucilage,
two and one-half grams of cherry laurel
water and fifty grams Of boiled and fil-
tered water. This must be mixed and fill
tered through paper. When using, three

times the quantity of water is added and
a few drops are put into the eyes.
That unpleasant condition of crusts on
the lids after sleeping is caused some
times by general physical condition, and
occasionally by defect in the sight with
which the lids sympathize. For this
trouble a preparation of white of egg. in
which a bit of alum is rubbed until the
egg curds, is considered soothing. The
eyes, or rather the lids, are coated with
the curd at night, a bandage being tied

Remedy for Styes.
Styes almost invariably indicate a

external applications relieve and better

made from -four grams white vaseline
and five cintigrams each OF white precipi-
tate and oil of birch. This is applied at
night. A drop of belladonna on a lump OF
