tine, and warning all members of that rite
that they are liable to discipline from we
grand lodge unless they at once withdrew
from the Cerucau body.
The main reason for the elict, lir. Ding-
tnan explains, aside fmm other queetionu
arising in the Scottish rile controversy, is
that the Cemeau organisation has establmhed
relationsof amity and corn-symidenco with
the Grand Orient of France, the governing
body of Memos in that country, which is
under the ban of at least every English speak-
mg grand lodge in the world, because the
Grand Orient has stricken the name of God
from its rituals.
The grand lodges of this country havean
additional grievance against the Grand
Orient of France, because the latter persists
in recognizing the negro grand lodges of the
United States. Grand Master Dingman‘s
cdict directs that all visitors to lodges in the
Dietrict of Columbia shall be rcquirti to
state before admission that they are not
metnlm of a Cemeau organization. The
meeting of n Cornenn organization in any
Masonic hall is also prohibited.
HENRY GEOROE HOME AGAIN.
lie Is Well Pleased with the Result of
His Tour.
an You, July 29,—llenry George, in
an interview, expressed himself as greatly
pleased with the result of his tour abroad.
He says his views as to the taxation of land
values are much more widely accepted in
England now than they were when he was
in that country several years ago. Members
of parliament, leading business men and
cln'gymsn were chairmen of the meetings be
addressed, and great interest seemed to be
taken among all clam in the single tax
question. Dr. Thackeray, of the University
of Cambridge, had come out in favor of the
single tax and had written a book called
“The land and the Community," for which
Mr. Georgehad written a preface. On his
arrival here Mr. George was met by about
200 single tax friends and escorted to his
home. A banquet will he tendered himat
the Brighton Beach hotel this evening.

Cmcmvan, July {ht—Nothing of a sea-
sational nature has developed in regard to
the action taken by the executive committee
appointed at the mass meeting of saloon
keepers last Friday. It was decided to open
wide their doors Sunday as on any other day
and transact business as usual.
A majority of the moons were closed Bim-
day, however, but the police were kept busy
making arrests. The proprietors of 180 sa-
loons were taken to the different police sta—
tions and held until they could secure boil
for their release. Quite a number returned
to their places and opened up again, some of
them three or four times, but they were
promptly rearrested. In the evening every
nloon in the city was closed and no trouble
isanticipaied.

United Htutee, has revived the interesting
question (.f the probable quantity of fuel de-
pollinating country. The Post [nubilsbw
an lultmuew with l’mfmwr W. .l. billion,
of the United States army, on this subject,
in which he says:
“The known dqxults of coal, coal oil and
natural gs», the fool of the day, are not so
great as Iuany WIND cuppa-la There are
many localith in the United litatss which
are strange to the geological survey. What
wealth may be developed in them in very
largely unknown, but a calculation of the
amount of anthracite coal of the country

while bituminous cell will not laat longer
than threeorfour centurhs, if thereare no

Whoa Bas‘an‘ on Will Ito Exhausted.
“When will the coal oil and natural gas
probably be exhauetedt"
"That to impossible to calculate. We can
approximate the amount of depmits of the
coal beds very closely, but with oil and gas
it is different, as there is no way to tell how
much a well will yield. We have only to
want, and we hava no warning of the ex-
haustion of oeupply in advance The proa-
snre forcing out the gas or oil is exactly the
same throughout the time it is being worked.‘
"Is the report of the discovery of oil in the
Rockies plamiblei"
“It is not at all unlikely, as oil has already
been found in that region at very near the
altitude of 4,500 feet, which is the figure
given in describing the location of the new
find. But it is rather more likely to be met
in a rolling country. The formation of these
deposits is very iuwrcating. As you know the
rocky strains of the earth on plains run quite
level or only undulating, while in mountain-
ous regions they are often found very much
broken up, romctimeo the rocks standing on
end or heaved up in a broken nmsa. Now,
the condition that best invites the gas and
oil deposits is very readily understood.
Where the rocky strata is undulating it
forms grunt domes, which act as reservoirs
for gas, Which accumulates there as well as
oil. The former, naturally the lighter, is
first found, and then often when that is ex-
hausted the oil below swirls us and below
that, heaviest of the three articles, comes
saltwater. So illnt who“ on oil well gives

lnslllllt't‘Sllitfnl is n second yield fora lim-
ited period of oil. "
Mother Earth In Full of Fire “'ood.
“What will be clone when these deposits
are eximuatmli"
"My opinion i; that that emergency will
be met by extracting the-bituminous matter
contained in rocks, and which isfound all
over the country. It would astonish those
who have not glvrn the subject thought to
learn the incredible amountof this matter
there is. The earth uoulvl y icld many hun-
dred thousand barrels per square mile, and it
is not extravagant to my this amount would
sum up to a million barrels per square unle
for the United Staten At present only a
very small portion of it can be extracted
chemically, and I must confess that [don‘t
see how it can ever be extracted on a com-
morciul basis. But it could in some way be
done when the demand would warrant it.
This, with gas and petroleum, will be the
great fuel of the future, and probably event-
ually the former alone‘will be the article
of consumption. "
Indiana the Great (ins Field.
“Where is the greatest gas region of the
United States now located?"
“It is included Willllli 2,600 square miles in
Indiana. There the rocky strata of the earth
forms a great dome, which not only contains
gas, but also has an accumulation of oil."
“Where will we got our oil in the futuref”
“That is difficult to answur, but the most
promising part of the United States, I should
say, is found on the western slope of the Ap-
palachian mountains, running from southern
Pennsylvania through West Virginia, onet-
em Kentucky, eastern Tennessee, into south-
ern Alabama. This Is a very broad belt and
I think in the future it will yield enormous
quantitim of petroleum. There are oth-
er isolated arees west of the Missouri
river in the Rocky mountains which promise
very well, though they are much smaller in
the territory covered.

says: There can be no doubt but what
somebody has been fooled in regard to the
perfonnance of the guuboat Petrol, which
has failed again on her official trial trip. It
was given out with a great flourish of trum~
pets that the guubont had far exceeded in
every reemct ht'r stipulated horse power and
speed. lint this occurred before the trial
board trick charge. First it was had coal,
then green and inexperienced firemen in the
fire room, and now unfamiliarity with forcui
draught. The department has decided, how—
ever, to give her another trial It would be
an excellent suggestion to the Columbia
iron works to see that the coal supplied the
Petrol on her next trip is of the best quality;
that none but experienced and tried man be
used in the engine and fire rooms, and above
all see that the vessel is thoroughly equipped
in every respect before she again starts out.
A member of the trial board told a Herald
reporter that he believed the little vessel
would perform all right eventually, but that
there was a degree of carelemnem shown by
the mtractors in arranging these trials that
was lamentable.

I’m one penny in the box and ob
thin the mic of a hymn book.
It is quite a scientific arrangement and
works easily. When the penny is placed in
the box it acts on nspring which throws open
the slide lid, disclosmg the hymn book. The
penny drops down a secret slit in the lid and
is hidden from view and secured from re-
moval. It acorns almost like a reflection on
the worshipers, for the automatic twenty of
tho vvurkmunahip is that the door or lid can-
not he abut until the vergcr himself takes the
coin out. when the hymn book is replaced

Girls Kept in Cages.
United States Consul Griilln, national at
Sydney, N. S, W. , tells of a remarkable custom
of tho inhabitants of New Britain as follows:
"The inhabitmris, it is said by Wallace, have
a pocnlinr cmmnn of confining their girk in
cages until they are old enough to be mur-
ricll. This custom is Hill to be peculiar to
the people of New Britain. The cages are
made of twigu of the palm tree, and the girls
are put into them when 2 or 3 years of age.
The Rev. George Brown established a “’es-
leyan mimon in New Britain in 1876, and I
learn from him that these cages are built in-
Sill!) of the houses and that the girls arenever
nllowcd to leave the home under any circum-
stances The houses are clovely fenced in with
a sort of wicker work made of nods Ven-
tilation under the circumstances is rendered
difficult. The girls are said to grow up
strong and healthful in spite of these disad-
vantugcs."—Chicngo Tribune.
Paying Ilia [load Tax.
About twenty years ago a Bucklleld man,
noted for his slxreu-ilm-ss, was attacked by
the smallpox. Conceiving the idea, its he
was convnlmnlng, that it would be a good
time to dispute of his road tax, he took his
staff in one hand end, shoulderiug his hoe,
started for tho occue of operations. Like the
prodigal, ho was seen “ufnr on.” The men
begun to throw up their heads and sniff tron-
ble. The surveyor sang out, “I swow, Jase,
they are afraid of ye." "Can‘t help it,” says
Jason, “I have got to work out my tax."
“Say, Jaw. if you'll go back I'll cross out
your tax." “All right,” says Jason. And,
If we can take the word of The Oxford Dem—
ocrat for it, the tax was “crossed out."

The Truth About It.
There are tum acts of articles constantly
afloat—one going to show the enormous com—
pensations of nuihonahip, end the other to
demonstrate that the pen does not save its
wielders from starvation. The truth lies
midway, and the fuels are that u truly vor-
ntlle writer, or a strong writer in one line,
getswell paid; but that the majority who
nrlveto write for the prom fnil of succcs
simply because it is out of their true line of
work. Theyare untitled try-«location and
