Scarlet Water SCares '
 Men Drilling For Oil

While drilling for oil at a depth of 500 feet near Ellsworth, Kan, re- gently. a sudden How of scarlet water gushed from the hole, says the Els worth Times. Artesian wells are noth- ing unusual in this vicinity. but bloody water was very much unex- pected, and nearly created a strike.
 The bright, red fluid spurted out and spattered over the men. and those who were at all superstitious quit work immediately Many were their speculations as to the cause of the phenomenon. Not until an expert was called on the scene was their wonder and horror satiated.
 "Altho." said he, this is something believe. that has never happened previous to this, it is easily account ed for. Deep under the surface of the earth rocks. blood red in color. are known to exist II is simple, this vein fwater chanced to come thru this rock. and years of constant churning has worn much of it loose. r has dissolved into the water with the result you see. In a few days. when the loose sediment has come away. this will be ordinary water and youu be glad to have a drink of it. <"

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL BUTUo KELP
 PLANT ON COAST
tPacihc FishermanA

(Pacihc F1Sherman.l
 Interest in the kelp industry was much advanced during September by the visit of Dr. ]. w. Turrentine. chemical engineer of the bureau of soils of the Department of Agricul- ture. Dr. Turrentine came on from Washington. D. C., to investigate var ious locations for a government plant which is to be built for experimental purposes. $1T5,O00 having been appro priated for the purpose by the last session of Congress.
 It is the purpose of the government to build a station that will handle 10t tons of wet kelp daily. evolving pro cesses whereby the fertilizing ingred- ients. and particularly the by-produots may be economically saved.
 Dr. Turrentine stated that at the present time S15,00O.00O worth of fer tilizer is being used annually in the United States. as well as other by products made from kelp. whereas less than s1,000.0OO is made in this coun, try. He also stated that he believes that the quantity of kelp in the Pa cifc ocean along the California coast is sufficient to supply the needs of the entire country. He spent much time in travelling with the harvesters and upon his return to Washington will report the result of his findings to Secretary of agriculture.

It is designed for weighing locomotives and other heavy rolling stock Some of the engines used on the Pacific Coast weigh 215 tons, but this giant would be able to weigh four of them at once. if neces- sary. The accuracy of this giant in strument is remarkable. It does not vary 10 pounds at it's full capacity.
