DRILLING FOR OIL
NEAR LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Nov 14.-For several
months past drilling for oil and gas
has been in progress on the plantation
of Mark Valentine, at Galloway, about
II miles east of Little Rock, on the
north side of the river close to the
Rock Island tracks. 1t is also said
that several real estate men have been
actively engaged within the past week
or so in securing options on all the
land in that vicinity.
The work is being done, it is said
for Ohio and Pittsburg capitalists,
whose representatives, however, have
been careful not to talk to the public
regarding their operations. The secre-
cy that is being observed has given
rise to numerous rumors that have
been in circulation of late.

NEW USE FOR SAND GLASS
German Surgeons, Before Operation
Must Wash Their Hands Until the
Grains Have All Fallen.

The whistling egg boiler and other
patent inventions have threatened the
existence of the old-fashioned sane
glass as part of the kitchen parapher
MALTA, and it seemed likely that the
children of later generation would
be quite ignorant of the use Of what
with the scythe, so often stands as the
symbol of time.
A German surgeon, like many Ger
mans a strong disciplinarian. has
however, found a new use for the sand
glass, and under his directions one OF
the larger Berlin hospitals has Just
placed an order for score of sand
glasses, which, however, are not timed
for the boiling of an egg, but fol
rather longer-for five minutes.
1t was discovered that some of the
younger surgeons were rather easy
going in the matter of cleansing thei1
hands before operations. The regula.
tons prescribe four processes of five
minutes each, but rarely were the
times kept with any approach to ac
curacy.
The excuse was that it was difficult
to estimate the time without a clock
Others pleaded the difficulty of keep
ing count of when they began and
then reckoning. minute by minute
with only small watch to go by. The
sand glasses, however, are to put an
end to this. Each washstand basin is
to have its sand glass.
For five minutes the surgeon washes
his hands with soap and warm water
and then cleans his finger nails. An
other turn of the sand glass. and five
minutes more of hand washing with
SOAP and warm water is to follow
The third turn keeps time for a third
wash, this time in alcohol, and the
fourth is for the process of sterilization
with wash of corrosive sublimate
over all these operations the sane
glass stands as arbiter to decide wher
each has been thoroughly carried out

BECAME A DISGRACE TO KIN
When imported into Patagonia
and Argentina.

Some years age the shepherds OF
Patagonia and Argentina imported a
large number OF Scotch collies into
those countries to help herd the sheep.
But Imagination seemed to spoil the
companionable, affectionate and intel
ligent dog from the Highlands. In
two or three years his entire nature
changed and he became independent,
snappish, sly and disobedient. Bad
treatment may have had something
to do with it. but by twos and threes
the collies rapidly deserted the focks
and took to the woods, where they
soon became wild dogs
They have increased so fast and
become so fierce in both countries
that not only do they carry off small
animals and fowls, but have grown
so bold that they do not hesitate to
attack travellers even in broad day
light. They travel in packs, and when
hunted scatter to hiding places in
the rocks. The Patagonian and Ar
gentine governments have offered
bounties for every wild dogs brush.
and while the war of determination
may deplete both national treasures
the only effect it has had on the col
lies has been to make them keep to
cover during the day Every shep-
herd goes armed and keeps a constant
lookout but shooting has not de
creased their numbers, and poison has
been tried without success. as they
are too shrewd to eat anything set
for them.
