Rich Rhine Country.

Strange to say, the fine grapes are
grown on the eastern slopes Of the
Rhine and the choicest varieties, as
Johannisburger and Steinberger, are
produced higher up the river, south Of
the Rhine province. 1t is, neverthe-
less, the land of the vine. especially
the Moselle valley. The substantial
claim of the province is its mineral
wealth.

eeorgette Coats.

Georgette evening coats or after
noon coats are not unusual. And real.
ly there is enough warmth in the
georgette coat, light as it is. to protect
the wearer from discomfort. Many of
the best of these coats are trimmed
with narrow bands of fur. The fur is
not wide enough to seem bulky, but it
is in charming contrast to the trans.
parent material of the coats.

used for fabrics made from vegetable
fibers, such as linen and cotton, as its
application to wool and silk proves fatal

Fresh Gloves

Gloves should be kept as clean as
possible, and of course should never
reveal a slit. Silk the same color
should be used to keep gloves in re-
pair. For general street wear dark
or medium toned gloves are to be pre-
ferred, unless one can afford white
kid gloves of immaculate freshness.

OLD WELL STILL PRODUCING
Hole Drilled for Oil in Pico Canyon,
California, Continues to Pour
Forth Wealth.

The first known discovery of petrO-
leum in California was made in 1864,
by a Mexican hunter, who had followed
a deer trail to the head of PicO canyon
in Los Angeles county, near the pres
ent town of Newhall.
He came upon seepage of sticky
fluid that was kunknOwn to him.
Prompted by curiosity he collected o
small quantity of it and took 1t to the
mission settlement at San Fernando.
There a Doctor GelSich, who had for
merly resided in Pennsylvania, identi-
fed it as petroleum and at once formed
a company and staked out claims. In
1870 a shallow well was drilled at the
head of Plco canyon, and Is said to have
produced at the time of drilling be-
tween 20 and Is barrels Of oil per
day.
About this time D. G. ScOf1eld
formed what was known as the Cali
fornia Star Oil company. Later the
Pacific Oil company was formed, and
the two companies were operated un-
der the same management-C. A. Mem
try being field superintendent, and Mr..
Scofeld, vice president and general
manager.
The old well today is the property
Of the Standard Oil company of Cal
ifornia, and stands as the first and
oldest well in the state. 1t has never
been a prominent factor in CALIFORNIA;
petroleum industry as it is known to-
day, but while hundreds of wells since
drilled haven't even a derrick left to
mark their location, mo. 4" as it is
known. is still alive and still pro-
ducing.--Petroleum Record.

Forming Artificial Pearls

Pearls were valuable as gems In
China as early as twenty-five centuries
before our era, and the Chinese had
worked out a plan for the artificial
formation Of pearls about 700 years
ago, which they have carried on ex-
tenSively. Large numbers Of oysters
are collected and the shell gently open
ed to allow the introduction of vari-
Gus foreign substances which are in
serted by means Of a fOrked bamboo
stick. These pellets are generally
made Of prepared mud, but may be
bone, brass or wood. The oysters are
then placed in shallow ponds connect
ed with canals and are nOuriShed by
tubs of night soil thrown in from time
to time.
Some time later, from several
months to two years, depending upon
the size Of the gem desired, these oys-
ters are taken out of the shell, the
pearls removed and the body Of the
animal eaten as food. Millions Of such
pearls are sold annually in China. The
most valuable are either round ox pear
shaped.

in log cabin; but my elder brothers

gence and that counts three and hive IN
