Various writer's are taking up the
subject of oil with reference to the

United States geological survey has
predicted that II will entirely vanish

Interesting to statistcians that the

subject and perhaps predict a more
frightful state OF affairs than the Geo
logical Survey, which, Of course, IL

sucn able men as to make them all

that tho Geological Survey has II fig
ured that the geologists have already
gone over the ground and has been

they estimate according to the area

worry and the probable supply can

the most innocent bunch that ever left

had promised to spend the enormous
sum of 100000 in one year, which
amused Mr. Wright greatly, as he is
fully aware of the fact that this big
capital would he absorbed in about
two wells and yet they proposed to
develop million acres.

The King George hospital was built
to be a government printing office and
was nearing completion when the war
broke out. 1t has been made para
disc for convalescent men. The bare
ness and the sick suggestion and char
acteristic smell, so to speak, Of the
average hospital are unknown here.
There are soft lights and comfortable
beds and pretty women going about
as visitors. The stage beauties and
comedians come to entertain us. The
food is delicious, and the chief thought
Of every one seems to be to show the
inmates what comfortable and CHEEKY
thing it is to be i'll among lot Of real
friends. I was there from December
until February, and my recollections
Of the stay are so pleasant that some
times I wish l was back.
On the Friday before Christmas
there was a concert In our ward.
Among the artists who entertained us
were Fay Compton, Gertrude Elliott
(sister of Maxine Elliott), George
Robe and other stars of the London
stage. After our protracted stay In
the trenches and our long absence
from ali the civilized forms of amuse-
ment the affair seemed to us the most
wonderful show ever given. And in
some ways 1t was. For instance, in
the most entertaining of dramatic ex-
hibitions did you ever see the lady
artists go around and reward enthu-
siastic applause with kisses? Well.
