ESCAPED THE TRAP.
Just toy a Narrow Margin Did
the Speculator Fail to Buy the
Farm.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The hotel lobbies are full of oil stori
es nowadays, and some remarkable
tales of various strikes are being told
by the old timers. Here is one of the
latest, of slightly different variety:
"Some years ago," says the narra
tor, "an oil boom hit Litchfield, III.,
and everybody for miles around was
seen sniffing for oil, and every strang
er was suspected of being an expert
looking for a good thing. An old farm
er named Loomis had a big place three
miles out of town, which would have
been a fortune for him had he not
been possessed by a mania for swap
ping, manifest in a perennial attempt
to trade off his land for twice its value.
When the boom was at the top notch,
Loomis received a visitor who took
so much interest in the farm, so liked
its appearance, location, etc., that the
old farmer scented a petroleum man
and visions of incalculable wealth.
But, being a shrewd man, Loomis did
not care to take any unnecessary chan
ces with Providence, and on the quiet
he sent the hired man out the back
way with orders to dump the kerosene
can into the well.
"The visitor liked the entire place.,
inspected the barn, the chicken yard,
and then, if by chance, asked for a
drink of water. Loomis was waiting
for that and hauled up a brimming
bucket before the man's own eyes and
poured him out a gourd full of liquor
with a fine opalescent scum upon it.
The visitor smelled of the stuff, tasted
it, made a wry face and asked if the
water was always like that 'Oh, yes,'
said Loomis, 'but you soon get accus
tomed to the taste, and our doctor says
this is the finest water on earth for the
stomach .'
" 'Well I am ding-danged if I'll ever
get used to it was the unexpected re
sponse. 'I am looking for a farm, not
an oil well, and if I have got to haul
my drinking water three miles from
Litchfield, I guess I'd rather buy near
er town.' It took Loomis six months
to get the taste of the oil out of his
well, and by that time the boom was
over and nothing was left of the oil
craze but rotting dericks and aban
doned shafts."

Valuable Mining Land Shoved

occurred this naming at tixe; interna

American owners of mines who are
suffering are protesting Jto the! Cana

On Wednesday the American govern
ment boundary line surveyor, Mr. Sin
clair, finished determining the line
in this district and found that it was
3,840 feet farther souths than it was
suposed to have been forijthe last three
years.
Two thousand feet of two of the most
valuable mines in the district, the Gol
den Chariot and Golden Star, owned
by Seattle and New York people, were
shoved over into Canada.
Canadians, this morning, jumped all
this ground, which has not been staked
according to Canadian regulations and
was not recorded on this side of the
line. At noon at appeal was wired to
the authorities at Ottawa by the Am
erican owners. The claim jumpers
were stil busy, acording to advices re
ceived late this afternoon, some of the
claims running very rich.
J. E. McManus, of Seattle, was inter
ested in a valuable claim of jumped
ground.

CAIHIOIIADIHC HAIL STORMS.
SECRETARY TTILSON DOES NOT BE
LIEVE IN IT.
He Ridicules the Ideas of the Uneducated
Peasantry of Europe and Warns Our
People Against Turning: Fools.
Washington, June . The extentsive
reports of United States Consul Cov
ert, at Lyons, France, relative to the,
success of cannon firing in France, as
a means of protecting orchards and
vineyards from hail storms, and also
for the prupose of mitigating or nulli
fying the effects of frosts upon vege
tation, have prompted numerous in
quiries by horticulturists in this coun
try as to when, if at all, our govern
ment would adopt similar methods of
protection. Prof. Willis L. Moore, the
chief of the Weather Bureau, acting
under the direction of Secretary Wil
son, has issued the press the follow
ing statement:
"After an examination of all that
has been published during the past
two years, my conviction is that we
have here to do with a popular delu
sion as remarkable as it is the belief in
the effect of the moon on the weather.
The uneducated peasantry of Europe
seem to be looking for something mir
aculous. They would rather believe in
cannonading as a means of protection
and spend on it abundance of money,
time and labor that adopt the very
simple expedient of mutual insurance
against the losses that must enevitably
occur. The great processes going on in
the atmosphere are conducted on too
large a scale to warrant any man or
nation in attempting to control them.
The energy expended by nature in the
production of a hail storm, a tornado
or a rain storm, exceeds the conmbined
energy of all the steam engines and
explosives in the world. It is useless
for mankind to combat nature on this
scale. -
"After the experience that this coun
try has had during the past ten year3
with rain makers, I am- loth to believe
that the bonbardment of hail storms
ever will be practiced or even at
tempted by the United States, much
less encouraged by the intelligent por
tion of the community. Every effort
should be made to counteract the
L spread of the Italian delusion which
has been: imported into this country
by Consul Covert"
Mr. Baldwin Tries a Balloon.
St Louis, Mo., June 7. Evelyn B.
Baldwin, the Arctic explorer, arrived
here last night from Quincy, 111., hav
ing made the trip by balloon and rail.
Yesterday he made an ascension on
a gas balloon, accompanied by his cou
sin, Samuel Baldwin of Princeton, 111.
This was his first attempt at aerial
navigation.
Believeing that a balloon would be
a useful adjunct in his proposed search
for the pole, he made his test ascension
on Thursday. The big gas bag sailed
southwest from Quincy about twenty
four miles, and landed two and a half
miles southwest of Richfield, 111. Here
the aeronauts secured a wagon and
were driven across country twelve
miles to catch a Wabash train from
Hannibal, whence they came to this
city. Speaking of the ascension Mr.
Baldwin said:
"We ascended in the Mars at noon
from Quincey, and started southwest.
The Mars maintained an elevation of
about two miles until we descended
near Richfield."

Spiders and Bad Whiskey.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"Fifteen-year-old whiskey made in 15
minutes was one of the things that
was discovered by the United States
Agricultural Department when it went
to assemble the exhibit of American
liquors for the Paris Exposition.
When one stops to consider how
simply the aging process can be ac
complished, and how many hundred
per cent it adds to the selling price of
what would otherwise be a very cheap
liquor, it is not at all surprising that
the trick is resorted to and that its
devotees flourish.
The small black spider which haunts
the tenement rafters and delights in
taking possession of the window in
abandoned stores is the chief medium
in the aging process. The working
spiders are not picked up by chance,
but are saved from day to day and
week to week and fed with care and
system . The cobweb makers have dis
covered that, lacking a sufficient sup
ply of freshly killed flies, the spiders
will thrive equally well on a gelatin
ous mixture of meat-jelly, thickened
with a little sugar.
The first step in the operation of ag
ing a bottle of fresh wine is to secure
an appropriate antique label. They are
printed on a tiny handpress kept es
pecially for this purpose, and the ag
ing establishment has a collection of
blocks to stimulate a dozen different
labels, some Of them clever forgeries
of the older well known brands.
The labels are printed in cheap ink,
that will not stand too well, anyhow,
but the artists do not trust to this
alone, for a basket of 1756 port may
have to come to the table in forty
eight hours after it has received its
cobweb draperires. Consequently the
lables are all dipped in a smaU bowl
of the weak tobacco water and dried
on a line 'over the stove.

by this expedient is surprisingly de
ceptive when one considers the simt
plicity of the operation.
The labels are pasted and the bottle
is ready for the finishing touches. This
consists in dipping them in a bucket
of water and allowing them to drain
without wiping. Before they are quite
dry they are dusted very lightly with
a mixture of wood ashes-and very fin 3
sawdust. The result is that the damp
bottle catches and holds a light film,
such as it would acpuire only by years
of cellar life.
The final act is performed by the spi
ders. The bottles are placed in a nar
row basket and two of three energetic
spiders put in with them. The dusty
surface of the bottle offers an excel
lent inducement for them to work and
it usually takes the most artistic sug
gestion of cobwebbed age.
The fifteen-year-old whisky referred
to was a discovery of Professor Wiley,
of the Agricultural Department, as has
been said, when he was collecting the
liquors for tie American exhibit at
Paris. It developed that about nine-
r tenths of the whiskey sold over the
