GOOD OIL IS FOUND

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1.-Analy

Fernando property shows it to be OF
excellent quality. The oil is 90 per
cent pure, with a specific gravity of 80

taken from the Corcicana field. There
is no sediment in it. and a practical
oil man has pronounced the fluid OF
the highest quality. and much better
than that found at Beaumont.
The we'll in which the oil is found is
not a gusher, and seems to lie in the
center of stratum which has given
up traces of oil for some time during
the sinking of artesian wells on its
boundaries. Investigation by a geo.
logical expert has shown that the main
oil-bearing stratum had not yet been
reached when the oil was found
While no gusher is expected, drilling
will be continued in the hope that a
large supply will be struck.

Paris, Jan. lone of the most timely
and at the same time practical chart
ties, of particular interest to American
women who may become i'll in Paris, is
that which has just been announced liz
the establishment of free bed for STU
dents in the new American hospital
here. Under the patronage of a nam
Der of the best known women of the
American colony, a fair was held al:
which various useful articles were
sold and refreshments offered, result
ing in the receipt of reasonably large
sum with which to endow the bed.
What blessing this will prove to
the American girl or woman compar-
atively friendless, alone, and with but
little means, in Paris cannot be over
estimated, for scarcely a week passes
that the case of a worthy, but helpless
American woman is brought to the at
tention of members of the Americ IN
Colony. with the object of giving aid to
such sufferers.
Queer sights, indeed. are to be Seen

The law of France provides, that the

auction and it was for this reasc.l
that the effects of the late Sibyl Sar-
derson, the we'll known singer, were
disposed of in that way. The wigs
she used in various theatrical parts
numbered into the hundreds, while the
collection of boots, shoes and slippers
almost filled small room.

And just the thing for fighting. -
Speaking in his work of Yankee
Doodle" Sonneck says: For 80 years
Yankee Doodle has appealed to our
people, and the tune shows no sign OF
passing into oblivion.
Surely, tune of such vitality must
have some redeeming features. This
remarks is directed against those who
have ridiculed the musical merits of
Yankee Doodle or treated it with con-
tempt. 1t frankly appeals to our
sense OF humor.' Critics, pedantic or
flippant. have overlooked the fact that
every nation has it's humorous, even

are just as natural and useful as SOL

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.

How the Paving Value Of Asphalt Was
Brought to Notice.
All forms of bituminous pavements.
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt, are in fact artificial
stone pavements. The industry started
with the use OF the natural rock as
phalt from the mines In the Val de
Travers, Canton Neufchatel. Switzer-
land. The mines were discovered in
1921. but it was in 1S49 that its utility
as a road covering was first noticed.
The rock was then being mixed for the
purpose of extracting the bitumen con-
tanned in it for use in medicine and
mated with bitumen, of which it yields
on analysis from 8 to II per cent.
1t was observed that pieces Of rock
which fell from the wagon were crush
ed by the weight of wheels, and under
the combined influence of the traffic
and heat of the sun a good road sur
face was produced. A macadam road
Of asphalt rock was then made which
gave very good results. and finally in
laid in Paris Of compressed asphalt on
a concrete foundation. In 1853 a still
larger sample was laid. and from that
time it has been laid year by year in
Paris. From Paris it extended to Lon.
don. being laid on Threadneedle street
in 1869 and Cheapside in 1870 and In
successive years on other streets. and
then its use in street and road making
extended to other countries. - Ex-

A Welcome Visitor.
Prosecutors in Alaska who spend

Prospectors in Alaska who spend the
long winters up there sometimes are
incredibly lonely, says the Saturday
Evening Post. A man named Hart
ford was left in charge Of a mine one
winter. He was all alone and at the
end of the third month was signing for
companionship. One morning he left
his cabin to get some wood and met
an enormous black bear that reared on
its hind legs and stretched out its
front paws as II to hug the miner.

A Clam That Pearl Divers Fear.

RACING PIGEONS.
Their Wonderful Speed and Mystsrieus

Their Wonderful Speed and Mysterious
homins Instinct.
Racing pigeons are the neetest Of al
creatures. They have maintained a
speed of a mile and a half a minute
for 4 hundred miles. according to a
writer in Golfers. and they have
flown 700 miles between the rising and
the setting Of the sun.
Pigeons have down a thousand miles
back to the home loft. In 1904 a bird
covered that distance in days 2
hours Is minutes. proving how un-
erring is the mysterious homing in
stinct that will drive pigeons across the
continent without swerv1ng. But this
test is not true sport The birds SIM
ply hurl themselves against time and
space till they are played out They
can never race again.
The racer rises into the air with
heavy, slow wing pulsations: then.

there is a swifter, shorter beat. and
the time is hit up" to the third and
permanent wing rhythm. rapid and
steady as a pulse beat. which carries
it home.

low over water. Their enemies as they
ly are wind. rain. gunners and hawks.

The homing instinct is lifelong. Dur.
ing the Franco-Prussian war the Ger.
mans caught homing pigeon which
was on its way into beleaguered Paris.
The bird was kept prisoner for ten
years. 1t was then released. 1t imme-
diately returned to its old home.
