A WONDERFUL OIL WELL.

Expert In the Balkans Finds That
Product Was Already Refined.
In Mr.. Cation Woodville's Random
Recollections" is the story Of a rich
oil we'll that was discovered in the
Balkans.
On one of his journeys he was shown
deep hole, sunk most probably BY
the ancient inha bitants Of the country
for mining purposes, but which he was
assured was a petroleum we'll. After
ward Mr.. Woodville heard the full
story Of this we'll.
A petroleum find" was reported
from the district, and an expert from
Baku, in the Caucasus, the great Pc
troleum district, was sent to the Bal
kans by a syndicate to inquire into
this valuable discovery. He was taken
by eager natives to this hole, and a
bucket was dropped down at the end
of long rope and drawn up again..
brimful Of OIL
The expert examined the contents Of
the bucket, tested it carefully, and
then, turning to the assembled natives.
he exclaimed: This is the most won
derful oil we'll in the world. The pe-
troleum is already refined"
The explanation was, Of course, that
some enterprising person, not knowing
that petroleum comes from the oil
wells in a crude state, had carefully
placed some ordinary commercial pc.
troleum in the we'll in the hope that
the expert would think there really
was an oil we'll there and offer a big
price for the property.

CURIOUS BRIDGE OF LUCERNE

II Was Constructed as Long AGO ~
1888.
Lucerne, in Switzerland, possesses
what Is probably the most curious
bridge in the world as we'll us one of
the greatest historic interest. This
bridge, known as the Kapellbruecke,
or chapel BRIDGE" crosses the River
Reuss at its junction with Lake Lu-
cerne 1t was constructed SO long ago
as 1888 and for nearly GOO years has
formed the chief avenue of traffic
across the broad but sluggish stream.
In other days the bridge extended its
zigzag shape to nearly twice its pres
ent length and reached as far as the
hofkirche. or cathedral, whence its
name.
In the center of this covered wooden
bridge stands the famous octagonal
"wasserthurm," or water tower, where
In olden times the municipal treasure
was stored. For ages it was also used
as a prison, and among its dungeons
is torture chamber. But the most
unique feature of all consists of the
series of curious pictures in the roof
Of the bridge. There are sixty-nine Of
these painted on triangular wooden
panels fitted into the pitched roof Of
the bridge One after another they
tell the salient facts of Swiss history
or portray events in the life of the
saints Of the town, st. Leodegar and
St. MISUNDERSTANDING Star.

We were inseparable. and

Rose was thinking about. For long
While we considered this thinking
about the same thing at the same time
simply due to coincidence. but at last
we came to wonder If it were not
thought transference.
When this solution was first suggest
ed we both laughed at the idea. but aft
er few more very pointed condolences
of the kind we believed it to be true.
Our first separation occurred in the
spring of the breaking out of the war
between the triple alliance and the
triple entente. Rose found an opportu.
nifty to 60 abroad with a party of
guest. With much reluctance at leav-

month Of July l, who needed rest in

looked out through a window on the
square below, thrOnged with people all
in state Of intense excitement. Some
Of them were throwing up their caps
and shouting. others were hurrying in

ers were guiding their horses or auto
cars were endeavoring to get through
the crowds without running persons
down.
Then without being conscious of any
transition l was on railway train.
Every town it passed through was
filled with soldiers. and everybody
seemed to be bent on doing something
in the least possible time. In the fields
women were gathering in the harvest
not man being there to help. Mules
were dragging great cannon along
roads. and locomotives were drawing
other munitions of war on platform
cars. Everybody and everything was
moving in the direction our train was
moving.

Is, she will not do her best work when
exposed to severe weather. Her func-
ton demands a great deal Of energy,
and this is given up daily in the milk
pail. She is mother once a year,
which also draws to considerable ex-
tent upon her vitality. 1t is these
drafts Of energy which make it neces-
sary to provide warmer quarters for
the cow than for the steer. There are
those that say it is unnatural to keep
a COW in a warm stable 1t should be

COW is rather an unnatural animal.
She is to large degree an artificial
creation. She was not found in ma
ture as she is today.
1t has never seemed to us that keep
ing cows in cold barn or exposing
them to cold weather had toughening
effect, or, in other words. would make
them disease resistant. We hold, how
ever. to the theory that dairy cow
