another GOOD OIL

Well No. 3 on the Savage Tract
Looks to be Very Good.

tract near Fallsburg, property of the
Big Blaine Oil Company, is being drill
ed in today. In ten hours after sand
was reached the oil stood 120 feet in
the well. The drilling continued until
35 feet of Berea had been perforated.
This Is regarded as probably the best
showing yet made by any well in this
field.
Another well will be started right

farm owned by A. o. Carter and Tom
Hays.
The Big Blaine Company is certainly
doing it's part for the oil business in

that the student must go back to
original sources for his information.
1t is strange that this art which may
claim the place accredited to pr Mt
ing, that of being the mother of art9,
should have been so neglected in
modern times.
Attention to and respect for things
Irish seem to have come to an alb
rupt ending when, having met with
the reverses at home, the Irish peo-
pie ceased to supply to Continental
Europe not only the knowledge but
the financial means to aid them in
their struggle for learn ng and CIV
ilization.
When we read in history how, in
the sixteenth century, in Continen-
tai Europe, the Irish teachers were
.evicted from the schools which the
people of Ireland had established
and maintained for centuries, we
may better understand why the
knowledge of Irish art should have
so quickly been lost. That Irish
architecture seems not to have suf=
fered in the same way is due perhaps
TO the fact that the loss of culture
which resulted in the loss of Irish
art did not reach far enough to af-
feet the more unitarian field of
architecture, and yet it is significant
that Immediately following the fam
me period in Ireland, when Irish in
fluence was at is lowest ebb, archi-
lecture also seemed to lose. Modern
artists have tried to account for the
decadence and neglect of Irish art
by reasoning that Irish art, being
complete and in it's best expression
beyond criticism, had reached its full
development and must necessarily
decay; that an imperfect art, capable
of improvement, would appeal BET
ter because of it's faults. TIL S argu-
ment, however, is not logical. 1t is
significant that Irish art was at it's
best in the best periods of culture,
of which we have certain knowledge,
and it is apparent that Irish art lost
it's refinement and beauty even as
literature lost is best refinement
and beauty with the loss of culture
consequent upon the barbaric reign
of Elizabeth and the more barbaric
activities of Cromwell.
With the revival of culture, in
which the Celtic element is again
potent factor, Irish art is being re-
we'd along with Irish music, Irish
literature, and Irish ideals generally.
Because of the violence done to
the schools of Ireland, which were
the treasures of her art, compare
lively little concrete evidence re-
mains of what Ireland had achieves
in art. This little which does re
main is, on the other hand, so much
greater than that which any other
nation of Europe may show of art
produced between the fifth and
twelfth centur es, that the art 1nu-
seums of ireland and Europe tell
better than even the ample records
do, the source from which the mod
ern culture of Europe is drawn. 1t
is not necessary to read the records
which tell of the building of the
universities and the shaping of the
governments of Europe by the Irish

which was capable of much greater
adornment. These wooden struc-
lures in time decayed.
The lines of Gothic architecture
are clearly Indicative that these stone
structures of a later time were de-
signed in a school of architecture
suggested by the possibilities of
wooden construction. All of the first
structures built on the continent af-
ter the destruction of Roman civili-
cation were built by the Irish and
built of wood.
1t IS certain that the Irish could
learn nothing of architecture from a
people who did not even know how
to build. These first wooden struc-
lures were of Irish architecture and
must have served as the models from
which the architects of the later peri
cd borrowed this medieval school of
architecture known as Gothic. While
circumstantial evidence proves the
Irish orig of Gothic architecture
there is also concrete evidence of
this fact in the ruins of stone struc-
lures still remaining in Ireland which
embody the distinctive character S.
tics of Gothic architecture and which

am sending under separate cover
some photographs and detailed draw
ings to illustrate the chief character
istics of Irish art. The oldest forms
of which we have examples show the
spiral forms and key patterns. These
forms are used on the sculptured
rocks of Newgrange, which archaeol-
ogists attribute to time variously
estimated at from $500 B. C. to g.
500 B. G. The trumpet pattern
formed by curved diverging lines is
also an ancient phase of Irish art.
The best known and perhaps most
characteristic phase of Irish art, that
of the symmetrical interlacement of
bands or ribbons, is accredited to a
later tine and is supposed by some
to have been introduced with Chris
tianity.
Animal. reptile and bird forms

phases of Irish art are considered an
evidence of barbaric foreign influ-

1t is a notable fact that Irish art
is primarily ornamental or decorat-
i've, VIII lie classic art is representa-
tive. The art of Fra Angelica which
represents perhaps the highest ex-
preston of representative art, shows
marked Celtic influence. This art
belonging to the school known as
pre-Raphaelite was the outgrowth of
the blending CT the purely ideal art
of Ireland with the representative art
of Greece. However ancient the Or
