Tbe oil output bf the Kern River fields. of California, has ho over lapsed the consumption that i* has been fonnd necessary to erect immense reservoir* to bold the prodnet in reserve. At first the compuntes only erected the regulation tubular tanks, but tbla Idea was soon (riven up when they began to realize tbe actual producing capaci ty of tbe fields. Ther. they construct ed earthen storage reservoirs, which really Is little more than a hole in the ground. The size of these reservoirs has increased enormously as the prod igious product of the wells has devel oped. One reservoir constructed by the Standard Oil Company has a ca pacity of 500,000 barrels. These res ervoirs are circular in form, and their diameters vary from 400 to 600 feet and their depth from fourteen to six teen feet. The first of these reservoirs was cemented over the bed. to pre vent the oil from seeping. This expe dient was, however, considered too ex pensive, and the earth composing tbe beds now is merely tamped well be fore the oil Is turned In. The reser voirs as soon as excavated end tamped, sre roofed over with inch hoards, nailed upon framework, and the boards are covered with tar paper. In order ?o protect the oil from elements.

Tbe method which promises the most satisfactory results Is that of using cuttings. ' Lrfirge sheepswool sponges are cut Into small pieces, which are fastened to an Insulated wire fixed in the water, so that the sponges are supported a few Inches above the bot tom. These small bits, placed at close intervals alonfc the wire, soon heal and form an organic attachment to It, and very soon begin to grow.
