It Got Away.

It was a big fish, but It got away.
Perhaps It would be better to say that
the fishermen got away. The fish was
shark, thirty feet long, and 1t al
most pulled the fishing schooner, AL.
bert willard, on a dangerous shoal.
The boat was. near Georges Bank, off
the New England Shore, when the
shark came alongside Capt. Frank
Dougherty ordered his men to throw
harpoons into the sharks back, and
they did so. They threw five har.
poons and an icepick, and all held
fast The shark started off at great
rate, dragging the heavy schooner at
the ends Of the harpoon lines as If II
we're a toy boat After a two-hours'
fight with the "sea lawyer" the
schooner was in danger of being
drawn on a shoal, and so the lines
we're cut and the shark allowed to go.
He took the harpoons and the icepick
with him, and the crew of the Albert
willard had to chop ice with a
hatchet.

To one who desires a very artistic
and attractive house, yet one OF sim
pie and unpretentious appearance, the
design Illustrated herewith win appeal
strongly. II would be hard TO design
a more home-llke appearing cottage.
II possesses all the elements at their
best which have made presentday
American home architecture world
famous.
II is a story and a half cottage Of
almost square outline, being 80 feet
in width and 40 feet inches long
The feature which one notices first is
the porch recessed back under the
main roof. In fact, part OF the second
floor Is over this porch. With this
kind Of an arrangement there is moth
ing to disturb the unity Of the archi-
tectural composition. The porch IS an
intimate part Of the structure, not
something merely tackled on" as
seems so often to be the case A heavy
double pillar at the corner supports
the roof,
This cottage IS designed IN the
spirit Of the Swiss chalets. The low,
simple roof with wide extending cor.
nice, the second story projecting
slightly beyond the first the support.

an characteristic Of this style The
outside finish IS also in harmony with
It and presents an extremely artistic

The Worlds Greatest Oil Well

put might be saved-for much was
! being lost by scattering, and by evap-
Grafton and percolation-and to he
move the danger to adjacent property.
The tubing or casing that is put down
! from top to bottom of an oil well can
ordinary be capped by the use Of
valves at the top Of the well, but with
the Lakeview that was impossible.
There was no practical method of ap-
plying weights or force sufficient to
restrain the great pressure coming up
from the depths of the earth; and had
1t been possible to do so, the destruc-
tion of the casing and the ruin Of the
well would probably nave resulted
Such problem had never been pre-
sented to oil men before. But, after
many efforts, 1t was solved, and the
solution seemed as simple as it was
efficient.
Working in a shower of oil, large
number of men built rapidly around
the top of the we'll huge bank, which
was buttressed with stones and with
sacks of sand and earth. This tank
filed quickly with oil, into which the
stream Of petroleum from the well was
shot With all it's speed and force,
the outflow could make its way but a
few feet above the springy mass of
impounded soil
Thus the monster was fettered. The
conquered pressure now expands its
final energy in kissing and writhing,
making the oil tank boil like some
huge caldron. A small river of oil
flows as gently as a brook from the
well to the reservoirs.
At first it was impossible to ap-
proach the well nearer than mile
without being spattered with oil Peo-
pie who Travelled from all parts Of the
state to see the gusher watched it
from adjacent hills. Now visitors can
20 within few feet Of the well. They
are watched constantly by more than
score Of guards whose principal
business it is to see that there are no
lighted cigars or matches that might
start confagration.

Diary Told Of Deaths.

A grim diary was revealed to
searchers amongst the ruins Of Mes
sina, who have brought to light the
bodies of FIVE people, members Of one
family, named Arrigo. Beside them
was a diary, which tells how the un.
fortunate individuals spent so days
after the earthquake entombed
amongst the ruins Of their home.
They lived on salt bread and dried
fish, which they found in the larder,
washing the unpalatable meals down
with wine, which they were also for
tunate enough to find. The writer Of
the diary, a son Of the family, who
was a college student, outlived the
others, and the diary closes with
phrases which show that at length he
had to lay aside his writing and await
the end with what fortitude he could
muster.

the well was spouting oil at the rate
Of 10000 barrels a day This was on
/ March Is. In "a hours the flow in
creased to 10000 barrels daily, and in
a week the average output was 4O,-
000 In another week the average
yield rose to $4,000 barrels, varying
usually from $4,000 to $4,000 Occa-
sionally, for a few hours, the well
produced at the rate of 10000 barrels
a day. This enormous production fol-
lowed the election Of rock and shell
from the tube, these having formed
distractions that temporarily checked
the flow.
The oil came from the earth with
a roar like that Of a great conflagra-
ton. Forced by tremendous pressure,
it shot as high as $50 feet into the
air the black, smoky-looking col
umn being visible miles away. Tt was
scattered In spray for a long distance
around the well, making it impossible
to continue operations on adjacent
properties, owing to the danger of
fire
A hundred-barrel well is a good one,
and a well that yielded 1000 barrels
daily had been regarded as a phenom-
enon Such a gusher as the Lakeview
was beyond all previous calculations,
and the problem Of saving and stor-
ing its enormous output was no easy
one. The tanks that had been pro-
vided were like infantile clothing for
giant. AS many men and teams as
could be secured at double rates Of
pay were put to work night and day,
building earthen reservoirs.
Finally, a dam was thrown across
canyon mile from the well, and a
million-barrel reservoir formed For
tunately a pipe line Just completed
between the interior oil fields and
tidewater passes near the well, and
soon oil was running through it to
tank steamers.
Controlling the output.
| In the meantime there was another
problem, that of controlling the flow
of the well, so that more Of the out

sic quite aside from that contributed
by the band As might be expected a
floating community of from 500 to
900 men includes many musicians
and they are seldom loath to display
their accomplishments for the benefit
of their shipmates. Among the boys,
banjos, guitars and mandolns are the
favorite instruments but there are a
number of violins and other iHstru-
ments on some ships the boys have
formed glee clubs, whose songs, usu-
ally specially composed, are distinct
aid to the program at the minstrel
shows and other entertainments held
on shipboard from time to time
After all, however, the greatest en-
thusiasm aroused by any form Of mu-
sic on shipboard is that evoked by the
comparatively new mediums, the
phonograph and the player piano
There is scarcely a ship in Uncle

that Jacks pastlmes are Of the
wholesouled healthul sort that
refresh him in mind and body
as well as amuse him. Music
plays a most important part In the
lighter side Of life IN the American
navy, both as the accompaniment OF
the frollcs Of all kinds and as an en-
teftainer In itself
] The foremost factor in the musical
. resources Of a o. S. warship is, o..
course, the ships band which may
number anywhere from a dozen to six
teen pieces and is made mp of men
regularly enlisted as musicians. The
bandsmen, perhaps because they de-
vote their entire time to the musical
vocation and have ample opportunity
for practise are almost invariably
skilled musicians and their ensemble
work is excellent. Not only do they
play on all festal occasions on ship
board and in the parades on shore but
their music is also brought into re
quisition at times TO hearten Jack for
his work, notably on the occasion Of
the always arduous chore of "coaling
ship" While the blueiackets, hot and
grimy are hosting the fuel aboard,
the band is stationed on deck dis
coursing the liveliest airs to keep
their spirits from tagging.
The band also gives daily concerts
on board, sometimes several times
day, but probably the one that is en-
joyed most by the Jaches is the re
cital at the noon hour for half an hour
following the midday meal The Sc
lectlons are almost always Of the most
enlivening character,-waltzes and
two steps,-and numbers of the boys
dance on deck during this interim. In
deed there is no more picturesque
spectacle In the routine of naval life
than that afforded by the tars in their
white duck uniforms circling round
and round the cleared space on the
forward deck, the smooth boards of
which make an ideal dancing floor.
The bluejackets have their own mu-

castings, to the cornice, the brackets,
etc, or it could be confined to the
window sash alone. In either case,
moss green stain for the shingled roof
would be very appropriate and attrac-
tive.
The interior Of this dwelling makes
good the promise of the exterior. You
would expect to find such a compact
appearing little cottage as this to be
the acme Of coziness within; and so it
is in this case.
Opening from the end of the porch
is a reception hall quite different from
the ordinary. 1t is 12 by feet in size
and is partially divided through the
middle by an attractive square arched
opening with two wood columns This
gives a certain privacy to the part of
this room away from the entrance
door, shutting 1t off quite effectually
from the living room
The living room is Is feet by 13
feet inches in size. The broad cased
opening connects 1t on the left with
the dining room of almost exactly the
same dimensions. These two rooms
are naturally used together and will
be found to be very comfortable and
homelike. Directly back Of the dining
room is the kitchen, connecting with
1t by means of the buffers pantry.
A door off the living room opens
into a small rear hall A bedroom of
good size opens from this, as does
also the bathroom and large clothes
closet. A bedroom on the flrst floor
Is always a great convenience and is
feature very much to be desired,
provided 1t can be secured without
obtruding in any way onto the rest Of
the first floor rooms. The arrange

Booth Harrington, the novelist, was
being driven with party of friends
through the Yellowstone park by an
old Irishman. They passed a drain
age ditch which was carried across
the road by means Of square, wood

a flume.
Harrington could not recall at the
moment the word "fume," and he
asked the Irishman what the boxlike
pipe was.
