Many queer things have been dis
covered by the drill since and before
Colonel Drake discovered that oil
could be obtained by the artesian proc
ess, but the most unique one is that
recently struck in the Philippines. 1t
is located in the town of San Fernan-
do, on the island Of Ticao. At the
depth of 405 feet an enormous vein
of water was struck, with such gas
pressure that the volume was thrown
80 feet in the air. 1t was only by ex-
erting every possible effort that a
small flood was averted, says Oil City
Derrick. The flow was finally checked,
however, and the water directed out
and downward through two small
pipes, through which it continues to
rush with undiminished force. Sam
pies Of the water taken show that it
Is heavily charged with carbOnic acid
gas and appears and tastes like Ordi-

experience in drilling artesian wells

that he has never before seen or heard
of the equal of the Ticao island phe-
nomenon.

It would be a glorious privilege to
i've for Is years to see what is to be1
come of this old world. There ID
going to be a great change in that
time, The crushing materialism that
has become so topheavy is going to
dwindle away. 1t will not wholly dis
appear, but it will not rule the hearts
and minds Of people as it is doing now.
The spirit Of q nobler manhood is slow
" possessing the heart of humanity,
Mankind has been passing through q
fearful ordeal, and that is helping on
the evolution of the spirit, which is
the sole purpose Of Gods economy to-
day. Men will think in better and
truer lives than they do today. Al
ready the noble deed is gaining its
rightful pre-eminence. 1t is getting
more and more unpopular to do any
thing low and mean. The man who
does his work well and leads clean
life is the apostle of tomorrow, and
their number is increasing fast, says
Ohio State Journal. 1t is all working
out Christ's mission on the earth, and
whoever takes no lot or part in it
doesn't belong to the mission.

a shadOwless light for the operating
table. This has been secured by a fix
ture containing eight electric lights
placed SO that their rays meet at an
angle of 45 degrees. This makes bet
ter vision possible in the examination
of wounds, and. also eliminates the
possibility OF a delicate operation BE-
