SULPHUR TAKEN FROM WELLS
How It Is Forced From Great Depths
In Louisiana by Means Of
Hot Water.

Within recent years Sicily, so long
famous for its expectation of sulphur.
has suffered from the competition of
the United States. In Sicily sulphur
is mined in the solid form. At Lake
Charles. La, near the Gulf of Mexico,
a little over 200 miles from New Or
leans, sulphur is obtained from deep
deposits in the form of a liquid.
Wells driven to a depth Of 600 feet
in search of petroleum revealed in
stead a rich deposit of sulphur. To
obtain the mineral hollow tubes were
driven into the earth. Each sulphur
we'll consists of three tubes, one with
in another. Through the outer tube
hot water is forced down, and it is
sues through perforations near the
bottom. Through the central tube
hot air is driven a little lower than
the points where the hot water es-
capes. Through this third tube, in
closed between the other two, the H.
quid sulphur, dissolved by the water,
rises to the surface under the CON-
bined influence Of the pressure of the
column Of water and impulsion of the
rising air. The liquid sulphur is led
into wooden reservoirs, where it cools
and hardens.

TERRIER AND THE LloNEss
Little Dog Braves Wounded Wild
Beast and Saves Life Of
i His Master.

That victory is not always a matter
Of size or strength was p~leasingly
illustrated in the case Of the dog that
did his duty so effectually in the Incl.
dent here related.
A man named De Beer had started
early one morning for a journey on
foot IN Matabeleland, leaving his boy
to pack up and follow him. He had
not gone half a mile when he heard a
growl and, turning, saw an immense
honess about fifty yards away and
rapidly approaching. She was within
twenty PAGES when he fired. The shot
broke the beasts jaw.
The second shot broke one of her
legs. The third, fired just as she
sprang on De Beer, missed altogether
n the man was borne down.
In a few seconds he was mauled
and bitten and his left hand severely
injured. There seemed little hope
that he could escape alive, for his gun
was out of reach and the lion, lying on
him, prevented him from moving.
But with De Beer was one compan-
Ion. a little terrier. The tiny animal
few bravely at the lioness' ear, got
a good hold and hung grimly on. This
made the brute shift a little, and De
Beer was able to reach his rifle again
with his right hand and shoot the
l1oness through the chest. She fell
dead on top of him, his left hand still
In her mouth.

Ruthless Destruction Of Books.

Napoleon was indirectly responsible
for the destruction of a vast quantity
Of books. In 1872 he framed a law al.
lowing goods to be imported from the
United Kingdom, provided that the
importer shipped an equivalent guam
tity Of French goods to this country
French merchants generally met the
requirements Of this law by shipping
books to the value of the wares they
wished to import. Having served to
gain the ~-ressary permit, the books
were < d overheard on the way to
England, as there was no demand for
them here. Shippers could we'll afford
to do this, for coffee and sugar were
then about ten times dearer in France
than In England. 1t has been esti'
mated that books to the nominal value
of four million dollars were destroyed
in this way.

FIGHT SAN JOSE SCALE NEXT
Injurious Pest Can Be Checked II

T.. ]. Headlee, state entomologist at
the Kansas Agricultural college, II
orchard owners will spray now while
the leaves are off the trees. Spraying
with a lime and sulphur solution any
time while the trees are dormant is ad-
vised by DR.. Headlee, but he believes
that the best results will follow if the
application is made before the buds
begin to swell.
Other solutions may be used as
sprays, but the ~lime.sulphur mixture
is especially recommended because II
also will kill scab and fungus growth
To prepare the spray, 20 pounds OF
lime and 15 pounds of sulphur are al
lowed to so gallons of water. Put ten
gallons of water in an iron kettle and
add 20 pounds of unslaked lime. Boil
adding water when necessary to KEEP
the mass from sputtering. When the
lime has slaked into a pasty mass boiI
until the mixture assumes a dark REQ
color. Strain and add water to make
out the SO gallons of spray. There are
other solutions on the market already
prepared that are effective. Spra,
with great care, says DR.. Headlee, as
1t Is only by contact with the poison
that the scale is killed.
Ordinarily. n spraying in a yeal

Since n scale can produce nearly 81

this conclusion 1t is pointed out that

e.. LEFT MILLION
Litigation Is Expected Over the Estate
Of cattIernan, Who ls Believed to
Have Left Fortune.

San Angelo, Tex.-Ed Jackson, who
began his career thirty-fve years ago
as a newsboy in Kansas City and later
as a sheep herder In West Texas, is
dead. leaving an estate of more than
one million dollars ii land and cat
tie.
Jackson was fifty years old and q
bachelor. A legal contest is expected
over the distribution Of the estate.
Jackson's will has not been opened,
but 1t is understood that he has be.
queathed the sum Of 100000 to a
penniless Mexican washwoman and
her two small children. 1t is believed
he has distributed the balance of the
estate among cowboys and other
ranch hands and to friends and insti.
tutions of West Texas.
In 1880 Jackson came to San Angelo
and herded sheep at a salary Of $40
per month, taking his pay out in sheep
from his employer. Two years later he
had a flock of his own, and in 1885
he took up one hundred sections OF
land from the state, which he sold
for 100000 in 1898 to St. Louis par
ties.
His only relative is a half-sister,
Mrs. w. L. Caldwell of Sonora, Tex,
with whom he has been engaged in
litigation for several years. He
emerged from the courts a few
months ago victorious. Mrs. Caldwell
sued to ecove a part of his estate,
but failed.
