the priority of these old-time wells 1t
is a matter Of small Importance, since

dates from the famous Titusville dis

West Virginia did not become
large oil producer until about twenty
years ago. although oil operations OF

It intervals in that state almost since
the beginning of development IN
Pennsylvania. There was a fairly
fourlshing industry prior to the civil
War. but it was crushed cut durlns

years thereafter it was struggling for
existence. Production reached high

Of West Virginia wells amounted to
more than 10000, GOO barrels. II has
not been so large in any subsequent
year. although West Virginia stands

months ago. admitted his identity To

Why the Glow Worm CLOVIS.

Many animals possess the power OF
becoming luminous at will. Glow
worms are the most striking example
OF this curious phenomenon. Many
fish that live in the deep seas possess
this Same power Of becoming lumin-
Gus. Scientific men have Xainly tried
to explain the mechanism of this
luminosity. Prof Armand Gautier of
Paris has just communicated to the
academy Of Sciences a notice of MN.
Vile and Dcnien Of Montpelier. who
explain this production of light by the
oxidation of a substance secreted by
luminous animals called lophine This
organic azoted substance. under the
influence Of oxygen. emits n visible
luminosity. Potash, in the presence of
catalytie clements, such as the ferru-
ginous matters Of the blood, likewise
provokes the oxidation of the lophne,
and consequently forms light. Oxy-
genated water has also the same
property. In the organisms it is UNI
stable oxygen Of the tissues eatalyzed
by the ferruginous clements of the
blood that produces the oxidation OF
the lophine and renders animals
luminous.
