Oil and Gas.

There is very much of a sameness to
the hind Of work the Eastern fields
are completing. Everywhere light
wells are in evidence and very few
show an appreciate initial production.
There is no lack of earnest effort on
the part OF operators to secure better
results, but the territory is not avail
able. Those who have had the courage
to 60 in search of new producing terri
tory have in every instance met with
disappointments. The present activity
In the fields is due to the amount Of
work under way and starting in the
old distdicts. There would be more
or this kind Of work If the sort of pipe
desired was procurable. A sales agents
for a large pipe manufacturing COM
pany, speaking from his knowledge
of the situation, said that there is no
relief In sight The mills are running
20 their full capacity but would not be
able to catch up with their booked Or
ders before late in the year, If then.
Operators in the Mid-Continent fields
are even more seriously handicapped
for pipe. He knew Of instances when
Oklahoma operators had come East
and offered handsome bonuses above
the market price and had to return
without securing a foot.

80 Get Into a scrape."

The expression ito get into a
grape" referred at one time to any
ne who fell into a deer-run in the
crest. When deer run wild in the
forest they frequently cut deep gull
lies among the trees, due to their con-
slant running backward and forward
yvcr the same ground. The cuts so
made in the forest were known as
deer scrapes," and 1t sometimes hap
Dened that a woodsman fell into them,

Eate Of the IndoIent.

It is the common fate of the indo-
lent to see their rights become prey
to the active. The condition upon
which God hath given liberty to man

consequence of his crime and the pun
ishment Of his guilt.-John Philpot

Wormen began today the laying Of
the concrete floor in the new garage
and supply station on East Park ave
nue. which is soon to be occupied by
B. Layman, who at present operates a
service station on Water street. The
building would have been completed
sometime ago but for the severe wind
storm which struck it within an hour
after the walls had been completed,
before the concrete had set and level
ed it to the ground. 1t is thought
that the building will be completed
this week, some Of the new equipment
installed and the building will be occu-
pied about the first Of next month.

On Floor Of the ocean.

It is believed that to an enormous
extent the bed of the ocean is covered
with lava and pumice stone. Still more
remarkable is 1t to find the floor of
the ocean covered in many parts with
the dust of meteorites. These bodies
whirl about in the heavens like minia-
ture comets, and are for the most part
broken into innumerable fragments.

Survival Of Old Memory.

The ideas Of divine warning, Of d.
vine vengeance, and of recreation Of
at least the face of the earth, in con-
necton with a universal destruction
by water, recur so often and in such
widely separate parts of the world,
that many have thought the only ex-
PLANTATION must lie in the survival Of
a common memory Of primeval man
kind, based upon a tragedy which over
took the human race when 1t was still
united and confined to some limited
localitv-Gnrratt p. Sarviss
