Yon miracle-play ofsnieht and day
Makes dumb its witnesses

These purple wells OF air?
What Presence from the heavenly heights

And over all the valley lands
gray-winged yapor sails.

When no more return.

From the New York World
 Junction City. Kan.--The story of the finding of petroleum many years before the date of it's discovery as generally given is told by !. NJ. Root of this city. who had it from his grandmother many years ago. Mir. Roots grandmother. Mrs. Burns. was member of a Scottish colony that came to Pennsylvania to settle. following prosecutions by tine British in Scotland One of their mum Der had been sent to America to pick out a location that resembled as near ly as possible their own Scottish high lands, and picked on Pennsylvania.
 About 90 years ago. according to the story as told to Mir. Root by his grand mother in this Pennsylvania settle ment the settlers sank deep we'll in quest of salt. They struck a thick. black huid according to Mrs. Burns descrip- ton that came to the top of the we'll and overhowed onto the ground In some manner it caught fire and turned up the well digging machinery. Those were the days of superstition, however. and by common agreement the settlers kept quiet regarding the wonderful fluid that would burn, for they knew that lt would be regarded as witchcraft and feared that the story would work against their best interests. The set tiers stunned the well and made no effort to ascertain what the fluid was. More than 30 years afterward petroleum was discovered"
