Scottish Nanes

No country has experienced the diff
Guilty arising from the commences Of
one surname in a district more intense
ly than Scotland. With a whole coun-
tryside populated by Campbells, Fra
sers or Gordons, some more distin-
gushing nomenclature had to be
found. And no doubt this was the
chief reason why at one time men
were always known by the name of
their estate or farm. Dean Ramsay
remembered an old cowherd who was
always known as Doggy. His real
name was Sandy Anderson, but he had
once owned a wretched farm called
Boggendreep, and he was Doggy to the
day of his DEATH

The x Raw.

The x ray, so called, was discover
ed on Oct. 8, 1895, by Professor W. c..
Roentgen. The professor was expert
menting with Crookes vacuum tube,
electrically excited, and enveloped in
black covering, when he noticed that
some of the rays proceeding from the
tube passed through the black paper
and affected fluorescent screen some
two or three yards away. In such
way did his great discovery come to
him, when he was least expecting it.

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

In certain of the petroleum produc-
ing districts it 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 a
weight upon it. A man who carries
nitroglycerin from we'll to we'll 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 it 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
we'll that he is to shoot Usually he
makes the trip very early in the morn
ing to avoid the customary travel and
so diminish the chance of danger.
For the most part the roads are bad,
and the wagon jolts along in way to
make any one but an old shooter de-
c1dedly 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 u
mile away in one direction and another
In the opposite direction.
The shooter generally takes from
80 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 we'll
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 we'll may be
1900 feet deep and is seldom less than
a thousand. When one Of the tubes is
filed it is lowered with the utmost
care to the bottom Of the WELL This
operation is repeated until the shoot
er is satisfied that the load is heavy
enough to accomplish the purpose.
When all is ready 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
place Of safety.
Suddenly the earth trembles; there
Is crash, followed by snap; a muf-
fed sound arises and becomes louder
and louder until column of oil and
water shoots from IS 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 we'll is in operation and
the shooter receives his fee and drives
away.-Harper's Weekly.

THE JUNIOR ORDER

The Menaee Ia glad 10 note that
the Junior Order United Ameri-
can Mechanics is breaking into
Missouri. This is one Of the most
progressive and patriotic fraternal
insurance orders in the country,
and has a national membership Of
over two hundred thousand at the
present time. The Missouri or
ganizer Is now in Springfield. just
east Of us, and he has promised
to put in council az Aurora AZ
soon as he has finished his work
there. That the Junior Order
stands for something more than
an ordinary ritualistic program Is
evidenced from their declaration
Of principles. The whole platform
is too long to publish here, but the
three first paragraphs which ap-
