00O,0 barrels. This was consid-
erably less than the monthly output
in the United States during that year
and was probably not much more
than one-sixth of the Mexican pro-
duction. Due to its long production
period, Russian has played an impor-
tant part in supplying the worlds
oil. Through 1918 it had furnished
more than one-quarter of all the oil
which has been produced CONNER
cially in the history of all oil indus
try. In the same period the United
States had contributed more than
half.
''The oldest and best known oil
fields near Baku are on a bare, des-
ert-like plateau a hundred feet or
more above the Caspian Sea. The
oil sands are found at various depths.
The pools are believed to be in lens
shaped pockets largely Independent
of each other. Gas pressure in many
cases is very high. AS a result gush-
ers of great initial production are
struck but unlike the Mexican wells.
the production is not long-lived. 1t
is believed however, that the oil
pockets are numerous and that many
are untapped."

OIL FIELDS-RUSSIA

"While the United States and

duction of petroleum, feverishly de-
veloping their discovered fields and
tapping new Ones" says a bulletin
issued by the National Geographic
Society, s'the Russian fields, where
some biologists believe are situated
the worlds most extensive oil re-
sources, are to a considerable extent
marking time because of disturbed
conditions resulting from the World
War. Although the Mexican oil fields
are more spectacular, and those of
the United States are now yielding
in the aggregate much more oil, the
Russian fields, especially those near
Baku on the shoes of the Caspian
Sea, have long been very hear the
front in world interest.
"The oil territory about Baku is
not like that in our own mid-conti-
nent fields where grain grew in a
rich surface soil, and where there

THE WOODS
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
THE PASSENGER PIGEONS.

VNTHERE roam We now, We nomads
w of the air?
The old-time heralds of our old
time Springs?
Once, when we heard the thunder
of your wings,
We looked upon the woodland Spring
vas there.
One time your armies swept across
the sky.
Your feathered millions in a mighty
march
Filling with life and music all the
arch
Where now a lonely swallow fiutters
by.
Where roam We now, We nomads of
the air?
In what far land? What %undiscov-
cred place?
Ye may have found the refuge of
the race
That mortals visit but in dream and
prayer.
Perhaps in some blest land We wing
your flight,
Now u%ndisturbed by murder and by
greed,
And there await the coming of the
freed
Who shall emerge, like We, from earth
and night.
