GORST EGYPT'S REAL RULER

The famous speech which Col. Theodore Roose-
velt made in London, following the one which he
made In Egypt, has attracted attention to that
country. and to Sir Eldon Gorst, British agent and
consul general in Egypt who was the real ruler
In that part Of John Bulls domain.
Sir Eldon Gorst succeeded Lord Cromer in
Egypt little more than three years ago, but
previously he had had much experience in that
country. He first went to Cairo in 1886 as an
attache and has been promoted gradually to his
present position. The criticism against him is
that he is too conciliatory; that he has not been
sufficiently firm in dealing with the Nationalist
press which even goes far as to advocate as

TO HEAD MONEY HEPTARcHY

J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr, whom Thomas Ryan
says is to head an American financial heptarchy,
recently has been visiting some of the vast prop

Morgan marveled at the huge steel plants in
Pittsburg, a part of the United States Steel cor

father. He also visited the mills at Gary, Ind.
which are growing rapidly. and found much
to ponder over there.
Although the impression Is far from general,
young Morgan is in many ways much like his ia.

genius; that remains to be seen.

The Dead Mans Hand.

Charms as cures for sickness were
common in England a century ago.
Lady Wake, who was born in 1900,
tells of a grewsome cure adopted for
the removal of some birthmarks which
disfgured her face. Her mother was
persuaded that "a dead mans hand
laid upon my check and hands would
effectually remove the Marks" she
writes. GAS a man could not be killed
for the occasion, it was necessary to
wait till some one died. An old man
at last did die In one Of the nearest
cottages, and was taken there in my
sleep. 1 remember afterward being
constantly stopped by the widow who
always examined my cheek in order to
ascertain the state Of her husbands
body, as the marks, she told my nurse,
would certainly fade away as he turn
ed into dust. Whatever the cause of
the cure, the marks in time disap-
peared."

How to Open a Can OF Corn.

One of the smallest of the little girls
in a West Philadelphia family had of
ten assisted her mother in preparing
the meals. She observed that her
mother, who was rather hasty, always
talked to herself when she had any
difficulty in opening cans of vegetables
The little girl thought that the hasti-
ness was a part Of the operation.
zone day she was visiting neigh
Dor and went into the kitchen to help
prepare a meal.
She watched the neighbor fake a can
of corn, apply the opener and remove
the top.
That's not the way to open can of
corn" said the little girl.
"Why, what other way is there?'
asked the neighbor.
"Well, you take the can of corn and
start to open it. and then you bear
down and the opener slips. Then you
say Darn this cam and finish it.
That's the way my mother opens a can

Mystery of the Eco,

An egg for one thing is a succession
Of bags, bagged up in one another,
series Of envelopes enveloped in one
another, bags and envelopes without
joints, seams or openings. Puzzles,
ships built up and full rugged in bot
ties, flies in amber, are simply simple
ity itself as puzzles when it comes to
how these bags wrap one another up,
bag in bag. In a hens egg there are
eight or nine or ten of the sacks in
sacks ensacked. Everybody thinks he
knows what an egg is. and after weary
reading and study in many languages
he only begins to learn that nobody
knows 4 tiny fraction of all the world
of secrets and mysteries hidden in an
egg. GAS full Of meat as an egg is
not the true comparison, but "as full
of mystery as an egg" is nearer the
truth. Eggs are the greatest puzzle in
all nations.-New York Press.

Diamonds TO LampbIaek.

You may purchase equal quantities
of carbon for cents or a million dol
lars. A bargain hunter might invest
a nickel and get a package Of pure
lampblack. The million would secure
blazing diamond, easily turned into
lampblack; not so easily-intense heat
would be required. However, coal
and wood are really more valuable
than diamonds. They surrender life
giving heat while the only use so far
discovered for diamonds is to cut
glass, and for this carborundum is a
good substitute. All diamonds in eX-
istence could be apnihilated without
loss to mankind; but. then, to vapor-
lie diamonds would be costly. as the
enormous heat of 12.632 degrees F..
in the concentration of an electric fur
mace would be required, and then you
might get enough graphite to make a
lead pencil or a-little fine stove polish.

"Eatind Crow.U

The term "eating crow" comes from
an ante-Revolutionary story. A soldier
of an English regiment stationed in
Virginia shot a pet crow belonging to Il
farmer. The latter entered a COM
plant with the colonel, who sentenced
the soldier to eat the crow. The farm
er was left alone with the soldier TO
see that he did it. After the soldier
had consumed a portion of the bird
he took his gun. presented it at the
farmer and told him to eat the re-
mainder of the crow or be would shoot
him. This was the origin Of the eat
ing crow story.

dts the Cut"

An aged country rector who had an
old tailor as his clerk, returning from
his church one Sunday with the lat
ter, thus addressed him:
Thomas, I cannot think how it Is
that our church should be getting
thinner, for l am sure I preach as
well as ever. I did and ought to have
far more experience than had when
L first came among you"
Indeed" replied Thomas. "Pll tell
you what; old parsons nowadays are
just like old tailors, for I'm sure sew
as well as ever did in my life, and
the cloth is the same, but it's the cut,
sir All, it's the new cut."-Pearson's

THE OIL WELL SHOOTER.
sometimes Blown Into Eternity With
His Own Ammunition.

800 OWh
In certain OF the petroleum produc-
Ing districts 1t becomes necessary some
times In opening an oil well-sometimes
when the well has become clogged or
apparently exhausted-to begin or re-
new the flow by exploding nitroglyc-
erin at the bottom of the well. This
explosive is employed because it is ex-
plodes readily by the dropping of
weight upon it. A man who carries
n1troglycerln from well to well for this
purpose is known In the oil regions as
shooter"
The shooter has wagon in which to
carry his explosive. A square box I'm
der the seat is carefully padded. and
when 1t has been solidly filed with
cans Of nitroglycerin, which is mo-
lasses-like fluid, he fastens down the
cover and drives slowly away to the
well that he Is to shoot. Usually he
makes the trip very early in the morn
Ing to avoid the customary travel and
80 diminish the chance of danger.
For the most part the roads are bad.
and the wagon jolts along in q way to
make any one but an old shooter de-
cidedly nervous. If it is dark there
is great danger that a wheel may drop
into hole with force enough to deto-
nate the explosive. Several wagons
bearing shooters and their loads have
been blown up, but no one ever lived
to tell what sort of jar caused the ex-
plosion
In such a case little is ever found ex-
cept the great hole in the ground which
the explosion has dug, with possibly a
wheel of the wagon a quarter of a
mile away in one direction and another
in the opposite direction.
The shooter generally takes from
so to 240 quarts of nitroglycerin In
his wagon. The smaller amount is
quite enough If it should explode to
leave no trace of the driver of the
vehicle.
When the shooter reaches the well
which is to be treated long torpedo
tubes are placed within the casing Of
the well, and the nitroglycerin is poured
carefully into them. The well may be
1000 feet deep and is seldom less than
thousand. When one Of the tubes is
filed 1t is lowered with the utmost
care to the bottom Of the we'll. This
operation Is repeated until the shoot
er is satisfied that the load is heavy
enough to accomplish the purpose.
When al Is ready a bar Of iron. known
as a ''go-devil," is dropped into the
well. The instant it leaves his hand
the shooter takes to his heels, seeking
a place Of safety.
Suddenly the earth trembles; there
is crash, followed by a snap; a muf-
fed sound arises and becomes louder
and louder until column of oil and
water shoots from rs to 100 feet into
the air. The country for hundreds of
feet around is filed with clouds of
spray floating to leeward. When this
subsidies the well IS in operation and
the shooter receives his fee and drives
away.-Harper's Weekly.
