Peruvian Petroleum.

Efforts are being made to develop
more extensively the petroleum re-
sources Of Peru. The known deposits
Of oil occur in a very narrow strip Of
land between the foothills of the
Andes and the shore of the Pacific,
and much Of this is flooded at high
tide. Piles of railroad iron driven in
the pure ocean sand. which varies In
depth from five to fifty feet, are used
as foundations for the derricks The
shallowest Of the driven wells is 1,7GO
feet in depth. There is very little gas,
and the oil is very heavy. so that it
can be put into buckets with shovels.
and it is carried direct to the furnaces

The Sage foundation does not give
charitable aid to individuals under

this enterprise to create an example
which may be adopted in other parts
of the country.

did his best to weed out the corruption
that has been the bane Of the empire
and was willing enough to work with a
douma packed after his own fashion.
But he was very far from being an ad-
vOcate of the revolution, and his ruth
less executions made ''Stolypin's neck
fies'' a byword among the popular
party.
To estimate the place that Stolyp:n
deserves in Russian development mus
be the work of future historians, bu
they may perhaps find the key to h
character in the fact that amid all t.:
heterogeneous influences that rla.,

It might have made serious trouble for

So he rode safely through two min

understood that the czar was negotiat-

the jubilation Of the liberal press at
the approaching fall Of the hated pre-
mier made the czar pause, and In the
end not only was Stolypin continued
in Office, but the zemstvo bill was
made law by imperial ukase.
Toward Finland the premier acted
with characteristic ruthlessness in
steadily cutting down the autonomy
which the czar had restored as late as
1905 till last year almost the last YES
t1ges of Finnish self government were
taken away.
Stolypin paid for his attitude by the
ceaseless fear of death. He rode to
