INVENTOR "~DOODLE-BUCD STAKES REPUTATION
ON MANvLLE WELL; NO OIL SAY SCIENTISTS

According to the plans of the men
in charge Of the well, the hole will be
drilled to a depth of $40 feet to test
the log for a showing of gas, and if
no results r obtained. it will be con
tinued to a depth of 932 feet. where
Sharpe predicts a strong flow of oil
will be uncovered. At the present
time the well is down to a depth of
$50, and it has been reported that the
well log and the log drawn up by
Sharpe have checked.
Mr.. Bartlett made a brief examina-
ton of the locality, and the substance
of the report he made states that the
location is unfavorable for accumu-
lation of oil and gas at any depths.
at is impossible to state just how
much of the everything formation will
be included" Bartlett said, "but after
drilling through 800 to 600 feet of
these formations, the drill should en-
counter limestone of the Hartville
formation, which are not believed to

there is no oil or gas within the Man

Old-time oil men have always been
reticent about accepting the doodle
bug" in the industry, although it has
been used in the location of some
structures in Texas, it is understood.
The invention that Sharpe has intro
duced, is an innovation in the indust-
ry, however, and it is a "long shot"
that is beng taken at Manville.

Considerable interest has been a.
reused throughout the state in the oil
/, 'ell that is being drilled at Manville,
according to A. B. Bartlett. state
geologist, Exceptional interest has
been displayed in the well because it
was logged" by w. A. Sharpe, who
claims to have invented a radio seis-
mograph termed by oil men a "doo-
dle-bug," that will determine the geo.
logical formations beneath the sur
face with indisputable accuracy.
The merchants of Manville are fin
ancing the well, Bartlett said, and it
is being drilled within the limits Of
the town of Manville.
According to the log that has been
drawn up by Sharpe, the drillers will
strike strong gas at $40 to 1856 feet

gas at 726 to 750 feet; oil at ITO to

Ike Farnum was sitting around with

wise quite all right. He listened to
and then hurled his wet blanket.
ITS just as well you didn't 60 hunt
ing" said he. "When a man gets to
be fifty years old his hunting days are
over. It's time for him to buy a bird
dog and a scatter gun and stay near
the shore"
Well, sirs, and ladies', I have never
seen or heard Ike In better form. He
passed his flftieth birthday nor than
one year ago, but If he is a day over
thirty-fve you'll have to lick him to
make him own up. He is as young
and alive today as he ever was, except
that he is harder to kill than a boy
Is. A middle-aged man who has kept
himself In good condition gets to be
like dry rawhide. He can't be cut,
torn or stretched.
"Pd have been as fatheaded an old
fool as you are, Maurice" said Ike, "if
I'd let myself slip the way you have.
The trouble with you is that you quit
this life when you got to be fifty and
haven't reached the life to come. No

to myself
"'Tm too old to 60 a-hunting'-

IL the thrilling exploits of Cap
tain Memo in Jules Verne's Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. "
Overshadowed by this gorgeous f1c-
ton, the occasional attempts at pro
ducing a boat which could actually
travel under water seemed trivial
and tame.
Then came the World War. With
the sinking Of the British cruisers
Hogue, Cressy and Aboukir in Sep
TENDER, 1914, the general public
realized that naval authorities al
ready knew that the submarine
weak, slow and blind as n mole in
comparison with the proud dread
noughts and battle cruisers-was an
enemy to reckon with. With the
sinking of the Lusitania and the
Falaba, the Mortified world awoke
to the fact that this same subma-
rine, in INSCRIPTIONS hands, was
perhaps the deadliest sea weapon
yet devised
Captain Nemo's Nautilus was a
true monster of the deep. The &C
tual submarine, so-called, is merely
a "submersible"; it can swim under
water, but for a limited time only
usually about forty-eight hours-and
Mt limited depth. With its perscope
submerged IT is almost entirely blind
and, so long as the boat is sub
merged enough to have to depend on
the periscope, its vision is by no
means equal to that of a surface
craft. The size of it's guns and the
number of torpedoes it can carry are
limited by the small size of the yes
sci. It's speed on the surface at the
beginning of the. war was about Id
miles and or 10 submerged, as
against Fl to 20 miles for a battle
ship, 35 to 30 for cruisers, and 80
to 10 for destroyers. Its one over
whelming advantage Is its ability to
become visible at will--to fight when
conditions are in its favor and to
escape unseen when they are not.

On the surface most submarines

Gus in the confined spaces of the
hull. But this admirable engine
cannot be used when the vessel is
submerged because Of the vast
amount Of air required for its con
sumption. Below the surface an
electric engine which needs no air
to breathe, is used instead. The bat
teries in recent types are charged
by the Diesel engine while at the sur
face. One reason that the submarine
cannot run under water for an in
definite time is that it must come
to the surface to recharge the bat
teries. 1t is said the German U-boats

The submarine dives by letting
