Manager Rowe informs us that 50 quarts of nitro glycerine have been ordered lrom Petrolea and will in all probility arrive here on Saturday. In case of the shot arriving that day the well will be shot on Monday. The well is the largest yet struck during the drilling operations in this field. It is estimated that at present the hole is flowing at the rate cf 750,000 cub. feet and after the shot it is expected that 1,000,000 cub. it. will be about its capacity. As soon as the well is completed it will be immediately turned into the com- pany’s pipe line. When the vein was tapped Driller Berresiord intorms us that they were working with 900 feet of water in the hole and as soon as the gas was struck at a depth of 1413 feet the water came out at a lively rate throwing mud and stone above the top of the derrick.

Seed from each of the seventy cuttings was sown and the crap therefrom was harvested when ripe. In the average results of these tests. it is found that the heaviest weight of grain per measur- ed bushel and the largest yield of both grain and straw were produced from seed taken from the erOp which had become very ripe by remaining uncut {or the longest period of time.

They called him Uncle Fritzie, and they were all riotonsly fond of him, but his best friends among them were Selma and Becky, the eldest children. two very pretty little girls, one thir- teen, the other fourteen years old. Mrs. Einstein and her sister said he was just as full of fun as he could be, and they not only laughed at his jokes, but believed in his stories.

It was a comfort to the little boy’s mother to see the Einsteins and weep with their bereavement. Fritzie Gross had no relations, but remote kindred were proud to mourn him. Here he turned. half faced the crowd, raised his chin proudly and waved a reassuring hand to Selma and Becky. Everylmdy shouted, and he dived.

They seized each other's hands and shouted as they darted along the curve of the little sandy beach of their start and out toward where a few other people were whizzing black specks against the white plain. They skated on and on. The fresh wind blow- ing behind, the stinging air in their faces, the free scope ahead. all exhila- rated them. and they had gone perhaps a mile when they saw across the daz- zling field before them a wide black bar. fathomalple heights hung and floated snowy masses of toppling cloud, and un- derneath the ice clad lake repeated in the colors of its ealm scope the white and azure splendor of the heavens.
