Peruvian Petroleum.
Efforts are being made to develop
more extensively the petroleum re-
sources of Peru. The known deposits
of oil occur in 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 shall
lowest of the driven wells is 1,760 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
1t is carried direct to the furnaces to
serve as fuel.-Scientific American.

SUPREME COURT WORK.
How the Justices Prepare Decisions
and Dissenting Opinions.

and Dissenting Opinions.
On Saturday evening each Justice re-
ceives from the chief justice an en-
velope containing the names Of the
cases the chief justice has decided to
allow the justice to write the opinions
on, and the chief justice also notifies
the justices Of the hour of the confer
euce on Monday morning. The confer
ences are usually held in the confer
ence room under locked DOORS The
chief justice presides. and cases are
taken up or postponed according to the
wishes of the justices or their readi-
ness to consider them. Each justice
is furnished with a lock book. in which
he may enter the details Of a case. the
record of the vote on conference and
the final disposition. On case be-
ing assigned by the chief Justice to a
Justice to write the opiniOn Of the
court the opinion when written must
be agreeable to the justices. If not
the dissatisfied justice will promptly
write a dissenting opinion. In some
instances four of the justices have
each written a dissenting opinion. but
the usual custom is for one to write
1t and announce that the others con-
cur.
Before a case is reached for argu-
ment the justices familiari2e them
selves with its records and briefs. and
when one is directed to write the opin-
ion he makes n study Of the case, long
or short. as its gravity demands. This
may take a few days or months The
opinion is dictated. and after being
typewritten it is corrected. boiled
down and revised; another copy is then
made, further revised and sent to the
printer In order that the COM
positors who set the type may not
know the decision Of the case the
foreman sets up the last few lines of
the opinion, locks them in a safe, and
after the opinion is set up he adds
them to it. takes two proofs and for
wards them under lock and key to the
justice. 1t is again read and revised
and sometimes completely altered and
returned to the printer, corrected by
the latter and nine revises sent to the
justice.
If the opinion is now satisfactory to
the justice a copy is mailed to each
member of the court. These are re-
turned to the justice with the nota-
tons of the justices. and the opinion is
revised or changed. If need be. to con-
form to their views. If there be a
dissenting opinion the justice writing
the majority opinion holds it until the
dissent is completed.
Then on some Monday, the court be
ing in session, the Justice announces
an opinion In the case. giving its num-
Der and title, and then proceeds TO
read it at length to the dozen people
who may be present. If there be n
dissenting opinion the justice writing
the dissent reads 1t and announces the
names of the justices who concur with
him. Afterward the official reporter
of the court sends verified copy of
the opinion to the publishers Of the
United States supreme court reports,
and the case finally becomes one Of
thousands In the law libraries to be
read and reread if Of moment or to be
forgotten If mere detail.-Independent.

Chicaso's Cigaret Law.

Chicago has taken firm hold of the
cigaret habit among school children
and propdses TO abolish it. Public
sentiment condemns the sale of ciga-
rets TO school children, condemns the
habit, and usually stops just there.
With adequate laws, vigorously en-
forced, there ia no good reason why
cigarets should not be kept out of the
hands Of school children entirely. 1t
may, perhaps, be impossible to do just
this, but it is not impossible 20 SO re-
strict the sale as TO prevent children
from purchasing these poisonous little
things. The Chicago ordinance i'm
poses license fee of 500 upon all
dealers. The Ohio law now in force
imposes an equally high license fee.
In addition the Chicago ordinance
forbids the sale Of any kinds of ciga-
rets within 200 feet of schoolhouse.
1t also provides for the inspection Of
cigarets by the health department,
which is clothed with power TO forbid
the sale OF such as are determined to
be the more dangerous. During the
discussion Of the Ohio cigaret bill,
now law, by its legislature, the fact
was brought out that the cigaret
habit was more or less prevalent in
nearly all of the public schools Of the
state. And in the public school OF
the more populous cities the habit
was proved to be aarmingly preva-
lent. Beside its prevalence, it was
shown just how deleterious TO health
of youth cigaret smoking is. In some
of the cases cited, the nervous sys-
TENS were badly deranged and lung
troubles were aggravated and the
memory badly impaired. And In all
cases such as were addicted to the
habit became ashy in color, emaciat-
ed, dull-eyed and absent-minded In
the pockets Of boys addicted to the
habit there were found cigar as well
as cigaret stubs and bits of tobacco
gathered from the streets, where they
had been thrown, and these foul and
nauseating things those school chill
dren feed their unnatural appetites.
