Pipe Line PROBLEM
is Now Confronting Operators in This
|, Oil Field.

There is not much news from the
oil field this week. Work on sew
eral wells is going along satisfac-
torily. The Poteet well east of Bus
SEVILLE should be completed next
week.
The machinery for the Burgess
CARED well will be moved to the
location within the next few days,
The derrick has been completed.
Some of the Cumberland Pipe
Line Company's men are here, SO We
are informed, to put in a line from
the Busseyville field,
1t is reported that some loeal
men OF means who have interests In
the oil field are figuring on laying
pipe line to the railroad so as to
get full price for the oil The oil
is worth $3.50 per barrel, but it is
said the Cumberland proposes to
run II into their line carrying cheap
er oil and pay something less than
one dollar per barrel. We are not
giving this as absolutely correct in
formation, but the fact that the
same thing is being done elsewhere
lends credence to the report. For
tunately, this oil field is SO near
railroad that the operators are
not at the mercy OF any pipe line
II they will refuse to sign con-
tract, that would tie them up, All
local companies should pull togeth-
er in this most important matter.
On Burning creek, w. Va, two
miles from Warfield, Ky, gas well

millions feet per day. The lease
belongs to company in which

Her Method of parnina.

"The worst case of henpecked man 1 ever saw," said the travelling man, ''is up in my litrleOative place among the Berkshire hills. The hen m this case is a smart woman who runs a farm and keeps every thing shipshape except her husband She is content to let him get along in any old fashion, so long as he does not interfere with her work. One day he asked her apologetically if she wouldn't darn at least one pair of his stockings, for every pair he owned had holes.
 "She gave him a crushing glance and said. If every pair has holes, wear two pairs. and the good places in one will cover the holes in the other And she made him do it too."-New York Press.

He Was Absentminded.

The absentminded man is at it again. He had been reading an egg story and decided to try the trick The first thing to do was to boil the egg. How many minutes! ! he asked himself. and. going to the stove with the egg in one hand and his watch in the other. he dropped the latter in the hot water Then. placing the egg on the table. he sat down to read until the time was up At the end of five or six minutes he was surprised to find the egg ly- ing there before him. but, suppos- ing that he had himself taken ii from the kettle and cooled it, he proceeded to crack and peel it. The consequence may be imagined. Fi- nallv he missed his watch. The house was searched high and low, and it was not till the following morning that the cook found it in the kettle. where it had been boil ing for hours.-Exchange.

SPIRAL NEBULAE STUDIES.
They Pornt to Another Universe Be-
 yond the Stars.

They PoInt to Another Universe Be-
 yond the Stars.
 Since l9O1 the writer has devoted a considerable part of his time to the spectroscopic observation of the spiral nebula, writes Dr. Edward Arthur Path in the Century. One result of this work was the discov- cry of fourteen absorption lines in the spectrum of the Andromeda nebula which corresponded, line for line, with absorption lines in the solar spectrum. A photograph of the spectrum of the sun taken with the same instrument looks precisely like that of this particular nebula.
 This implies that the Andromeda nebula has the physical characteris- tics of the sun. The nebula is four times the apparent diameter of the sun. It's distance is not known, but a conservative estimate would place it among the nearer stars. If we make this assumption it places the nebula at least l0,000,O00 times as far away as the sun is from the earth. Consequently its real di- mensions are at least 40,000,O00 times those of the sun. Since the diameter of the latter is S66,OOO miles we obtain nearly 35,OO0, ,0OO,- 100000 miles as the diameter of the nebula.
 Now, this great body gives solar spectrum. What does this mean? The simplest assumption, considering it's enormous size, ap- pears to be that it is vast assem-

CURIOUS PLEASURES.
Th-v Were Costly as We'll Since the
 Price Was Death.


 The late King Ludwig of Ba- varia frequently ordered perform saces of opera for his private de iectation, but an Englishman, Cur iIs Donnythorpe, maintained for his personal entertainment a troupe of dancers, at one time one of the most moved organizations of the English music hall stage.
 MT. Donnythorpe was an invalid and, being unable to gratify his pas sion for dancing in his own person, engaged the Kelby troupe. He had a stage built in his home, whereon they performed daily. It was his habit to suggest new steps, and while encouraging them to fresh endeavor one day he brought on the attack of heart disease which euded his life.
 He was not the only one killed by his pleasures. for Theodore Bot ley. another Englishman, devoted E,s whole life to his stomach. He had agents throughout the world in search of new dishes. and, that he might eat more frequently than nature demanded. it was his prac- tlce to engage in manual labor for tie purpose of getting up an appe- tite He had the largest library on the. subject of eating that has ever been gathered together. In the end ke died of starvation because his stomach WAS una able to assimilate ordinary nourishing foods.
 He had his complement in Charles P. Cashel. in whom the sense of smell was as keenlv developed as it is in hunting dog. He reveled in the richest perfumes and in the end lost his sense of smell con- p,etely through overindulgence in tie perfume of South American fAwer. This left him unable to de- feet the odor of escaping gas. and he was asphyxiated,
 The Russian Count Ivanovitch of tie time of the first Emperor Nicho- las died of fright at the announce ment that the emperor had declared his intention of visiting him and sending him to labor in the salt n>ines if he did not leave his bed to welcome him. For years he had never left his bed and indulged in liquid foods as being the more easy to eat.

In. Pae. of tn. Camel.

As matter of fact and in spite of its having carried Mohammed in four leaps from Jerusalem to Mec- ca, seven miles an hour is the cam els limit, nor can it maintain this rate over two hours. Its usual speed is five miles an hour-a slow pace, beyond which it is dangerous to urge it, lest, as Asiatics say, it might break it's. heart and die liter ally on the spot. When camel is pressed beyond this speed and is spent it kneels down, and not all the wolves in Asia will make it budge again. The camel remains where it kneels, and where it kneels it dies. A fire under its nose is use less.-Times of India.

blaze of suns so far from us that no telescope has been able to show the suns separately If it be true, however, that the nebula is so far away that it's component stars can not be distinguished, then it must be at a much greater distance than we first assumed. In other words, we must place it not among the stars, for these can be seen sepa- rately in the telescopes, but beyond the stars. This would make it an- other universe. Our own universe we shall call the Milky way, for there is good reason to believe that the stars which make up the Milky way as we see it, together with the other stars, form a single system.
 What form has the Milky way? For many years there has been theory that it, too, has a spiral ar engagement. but not until very re- gently has there been much evi- dence in support of it. Recently, however, Professor Kapteyn, the great European astronomer, has brought forward evidence which points in this direction. Without going into the matter further, it can be said that we must at least recognize the possibility of our be- ing part of a vast spiral stellar system and having the privilege, when we look at the Andromeda nebula, "to see oursel's as ithers ana na"
