Renewing Old Oil Wells.

Old oil wells that nave ceased to
flow are now renewed and made pro-
ductive by very simple process.
The theory is that what caused the
oil to flow was air pressure or gas
pressure behind of above the oil
When enough oil had been taken out
to relieve the pressure, the flow
ceased, though the oil was not ex-
hausted.
About 1000 oil wells that had beer
abandoned, between Pennsylvania anc
Texas, have been restored to produc'
tiveness by this simple method.

Loss of Railroad Value.

Two million stockholders in Amer
lean railroads have seen their prop
erty shrink in value almost $100000,-
900 within the last eighteen months
Many of these stockholders are people
who have only one or two shares.
The shrinkage was caused partly by
the reckless mismanagement of the
railroads by their own officers, as in
the case of the "New Haven" system.
And partly it was caused by enforcing
the antitrust law and other repres-
sive laws against the railroads.

EGYPT AWAKENS TO
A POWERFUL FUTURE

Egypt is the last of the countries to
follow Japan's remarkable lead in the
march of Oriental civilization. In
many respects Egypt is behind China
in progress and enlightenment. What
little Egyptians have accomplished in
the last half century has been the re-
suit Of spurrings and forced example
of English government. At this late
hour of worldwide civilization Egypt
is just beginning to open her eyes,
blinking, to a realization of her short
comings and possibilities.

How Home Rule Stands

Home Rule for Ireland stands in
this positions:
The bill has passed the House of
Commons for the third time and is
now in the House of Lords. The Lords
cannot prevent its becoming law, but
they had month in which they might
debate it and propose changes. The
Commons are not obliged to accept
arv such proposals.

TREASURE SHIPS
PASSENGERS HERE
Most of Them Disgruntled
at $13 Train Fare from
Bar HarbOr.

Worn out by the suspense Of the last
four days and railing against the Off
Gals of the North German Lloyd COM
pany, two hundred passengers from the
fugitive treasure ship Kronprinzessin
Cecilie arrived yesterday from Bar
Harbor at the Grand Central Station.
The trip was made in a special train
chartered by the company. According
to the disappointed tourists, they not
only lost their passage money, but
each was compelled to pay Sl3 to ride
on the special train.
All of the passengers agreed that
the scurry into hostile seas was a
nerve-racking adventure. AS the
Cecilie steamed through unfamiliar
waters under forced draft, with port
holes swathed in canvas, lodging the
searchlight of a French cruiser, women
became hysterical and men apprehen-
sive.
A committee of the ships passengers
waited on Captain Polack as the Cecilie
was ploughirg by Newfoundland with
the request that the speed be slack
ened. They declared that the lives on
board were of far more value than the
millions in the hold. The captain re-
piled that the last ounce of coal in the
Ceclie's bunkers would be jammed in;a
the fireboxes TO prevent capture.
Ledyard Blair, whose knowledge of
the New England coast led Captain
Polack to seek the anchorage at Bar
Harbor, declared half of the passengers
dill not know that the vessel had
turned back until several hours after
ward.
1.-THE moon," said Mr.. Blair, finally
showed them that we were heading for
home waters, and soon came the order
forbidding the lights.
"0f course, ell recognized the graz
ity of the situation, but they felt,
too, that theY were aboard a well
manned craft and a speedy one. The
story that a group of American finan-
ciers offered to buy the Cecilie and fy
an American flag over her is nonsense
The group who advanced the idea
couldn't buy a rowboat."
Frederick A. Stock. director of the
| Chicago Symphony Orchestra, declares
| that the Cecilie had been chased by 4
French cruiser, but that her speed KEEP
] her al a safe distance. Mr.. Stock wa,
! much impressed by the dramatic man
