The Straicuy Employed in Di?covcrln?r tho
Condition of n NrwIy.Fonnd Well, mill the
Method* Employed to Keep the Secret.
In an article on life in the Pennsylvania
oil regions the New York Hun
fays:
It is for the interest of the owner of
a new well to keep secret the result of
the drilling until he has made his transactions
in the market in anticipation
of the effect likely to be produced when
the well is opened?that is, when the
facts about it are made public. If Unwell
is a gusher, it is for his interest
to keep it a mystery till he has secured
leases of the lands lying around it, for
these suddenly rise to enormous prices
on tho opening of the well, in view of
tim urniiiisp of ;l new tract awaiting
development. All the prominent
operators have men in their employ
whose business is to find out the trutii
about these mysteries. The field men
sj employed are called scouts or loghuggers,
and between them and the
owners of wildcat wells the shrewdest
strife of the oil regions is carried on.
Toe life of a scout is different from
that of any other man in the oil region.
Much of his work must be done in the
night. He is compelled to make long
journeys on foot and to sleep many
nights on the ground. lie must know
all there is to be known about an oil
well, must be cautious about coming
to conclusions, and, above all, thoroughly
t rust worthy. 11 is pay is about
$150 a month, and he usually gets a
percentage of all profits resulting from
transactions made on information furnished
by him. His expenses are paid
by the operator in whose interest he
is working, and he may use his discretion
as to lu.w large a bribe it is necessary
to offer a guard at a well for a
sample of the sand or an opportunity
to pass the lines ami gauge the llow.
Many of the scouts have had experience
in drilling wells and guarding
them, and all are men who have an
intimate knowledge of the oil fields,
above and below ground. One of the
best scouts is a college graduate. He
o uL-illfitl f.nrrinfiT :ind has done
perhaps as much work as any man in
the oil region in the way of preparing
statistics of production and in writing
upon that topic and kindred topics. lie
is a scout because he can command
large pay and good percentages.
"When a producer sets out to make
a well a mystery he knows that he has
a task before him. The high board
fence which he puts around his well,
a hundred feet or more from the derrick,
prevents the scouts from getting
samples of the sand unless they do so
by arrangement with a guard. If the
scouts succeed in obtaining a thimbleful
of sand they can make a good
guess as to what the well will amount
to. Some of the scouts have as many
four or live hundred phials of sand,
each of which is labeled with the
name or number of the well from
^ which it was taken. In some tracts
the sand is of the color of pulverized
lire-brick, in others it is chocolatecolored,
and the experienced scout can
see something significant either in the
composition or color of every sample
* 1 *1.?4- KA Avnmmna
UI NdlU lllilt III; UIUIHUW.
. "This," said a scout, holding up a
phial in which was as much gray sand
51s could be taken upon the blade of a
penknife. " was very precious at the
time it was obtained. It came from
G4G in Cherry Grove."
After an owner of a mystery has
V made provision for {preventing the
scouts from getting any of the sand,
he must make arrangements for keeping
them so far from the well that they
cannot hear the flow of oil into the receiving
tank. So lie cuts underbrush
and surrounds his well with an almost
impenetrable brush fence, on the outside
of which he stations guards with
rifles or pole axes as weapons. As
.?. many as a hundred guards are sometimes
employed at a single well. If
the scouts are unable to make their
: r* way throughputs line and get within
iicnp| r^in<.p of the tank, they must
a^ffistto sight for indications as to what
y. doing at the well. The wag of the
walking beam will tell him within fifty
feet how far down in the rock the drill
is cutting, though a stranger can only
see that the beam oscillates with a
. slower mot ion as the well grows deeper.
Jf drilling has ceased, the scouts watch
the ventilator of the receiving tank
with the aid of a lield glass, noting the
number of hours out of twenty-four
Kjpsrv? y 71 >
that* the inllow of oil causes
gas to escape from the ventilator in a
" thin cloud. Knowing the number of
gallons that will flow through the pipe
7^. in an hour, they can compute the result
; of :he Hows that have taken place in the
'* ' twenty-four hours. Another way of
telling how deep a well has been drilled
. is l?y watching the cable through a
Held glass when the tools are hauled
? "up. As the rope is wound upon the
-* bull wheel the coil runs to one end of
"the axel and back again, and so on,
:'-T like thread wound evenly on a spool;
' and by watching the weaving of the
. rope back and forth where it conies in
sight above the roof of the derrick>rhouse,
the scouts can tell how many
layers there are of the rope that is
. ' ^vound up, and can make a close guess
- *' .as to the niuuber of feet of rope drawn
from the well.
An old scout told the followingstory
' of an exploit which made Scout S]
"" Hughes famous throughout the oi
region:
- Ten days before the Cherry Grove
W ildcat, 646, was opened, excitement
:ts to what the well was doing was at
$" fever heat. It was believed that she
;n was flowing strongly, but nothing was
known for certain. Xo scout had succeeded
in getting past the guards, and no
sandhad been secured. Si Hughes was
* ? r f\nti
ILs* XL en working lor V. ciu\Y<uicuiui. vcvu*
wallader offered him a tenth interest
[ in all the land secured on any informal'
r. - tion which he would bring from the
; -well. Hughes suddenly disappeared,
[V jSone of the men in the field knew
Vhat had become of him. Three days
f' . later ho reappeared, looking as though
had been drawn through a knot[ ?;-?:
."hole. Cad wallader began buying land
near 046. He took in partners, a stock
? .company was formed, more land was*
. bought and the wells were sunk.
. liugheshad been lying for forty-eight
Jhours under the derrick iloor of G40?
lying there in the cold mud with
.nothing to eat, and he had piped off
-? the mystery so {hat he knew exactly
??^.;what she was doing. How he got in
. %--";;there nobody but himself knows. The
' stockholders in the company that began
operations on his information
kicked about keeping rhe bargain tc
?;?. give him a tenth interest, and offered
rliim $4,500 for his work. Hughes refused
it. He said he would have what
h he bargained for or nothing. He is
ttill a scout in this field and the
r matter is unsettled."
Another scout, speaking of Hughes
exploit, said that, although the mattei
was unsettled, Hughes was sure of at
least $50,000 for his two days' ant
two nights* work under the derrick
lloor of 040.
By such expedients as have been de
scribed, and by many others, the scout:
i/btain information as to the closely
guarded mysteries. Then they haster
lothe nearest telegraph station anc
? send cipher dispatches to the operators
HE 3 ir whom they are scouting, tening m<
^B Jesuits of their work. The codes usee
^B' i >r this purpose are extensive enougl
to convey any necessary informatior
concerning doings in the oil field

t ie strife between them, some of th
^B-' p??uts are on the best of terms wit]
the producers to whose wells they hav
?iven the closest and most unwelcom

S'(the game is ended, and scouts and pre

Strange Sights in a Chinese City.
"Within a circuit oC ten miles, says a
correspondent in a description of Canton,
more than a million human beings
have a home. They surge and
swarm and crowd in every direction.
From long before daylight till long
after midnight the air is tilled with
the shouting, yelling, screaming, gabbling
and clamor of innumerable
tongues. Canton is one solid mass of
buildings, with no public parks, no public
squares and no shade trees. Here and
there we see a great temple, and now
and then a tall pagoda. The city has
long since outgrown a first wall, built
centuries ago, and has overflowed a
second wall built in more modern
times.
The " foreign concessions," or place
of residence for foreigners, called by
the natives "Shameen," is a beautiful
spot in the upper suburbs of the city.
It is really a small island, separated
from the mainland by a canal and
fronting on the river. Its lino mansions,
gardens, shady avenues and
shrubbery make it "like !an oasis of
civilization in a desert of barbarism."
Here are the " hongs" of the great tea
and silk merchants and here several of
the missionaries have their homes.
All who approach Canton will notice
many large buildings, so tall that they
loom up prominently above all other
buildings. Some will guess that they
are temples, and others that they are
palaces or stores, but no one would surmise
that they are simply pawnshops.
Being several stories high they form a
striking feature of the city where all
other buildings are so low. The pawnbrokers
of Canton do an immense
business, and their shops are strongly
built, and are arranged for safety
against lire and robbers. The Chinese
pawn their clothing and valuables
whenever they have no present use for
them, as a mere matter of storage and
safety.
"We look in vain for what an American
would call a street in Canton. There j
are innumerable narrow lanes, alleys
and passage ways, from three t<> ten feet
wide, so intricate and crooked that without
a guide one would be lost in ten
minutes if he attempted to thread their
endless labyrinths. These streets arc
well paved with long narrow slabs of
granite, worn smooth with the pressure
of innumerable feet. They are often
covered with boards or matting to protect
the passers from the burning rays
of the sun. The streets of Canton
are so crowded tliat one can
hardly find room to move, and
are so narrow tiiat no wheel vehicles
ever pass through them. A\'e found
great difficulty in passing with our sedan
chairs. It was one continual fight for
passage. But by incessant shouting our
chair-bearers managed to clear away.
When we met another chair it was only
by louder vociferations and more violent
gesticulations that our coolies managed
to pass.
The houses of Canton are low brick
buildings, with open doors and windows,
and balconies running along in
front, the carved roofs, covered with
enrions-shaped tiles, projecting over the
street. The stores are very small and
entirely open in front. Looking
up anil down the street one sees an
tndless profusion of long, narrow,
gaudy signs, with fantastic gold letters
on red, green and black background.
These are suspended perpendicularly
over the store doors. As we pass
along the scenes are new, strange and
endless. Now we meet a Chinese wedding
party, then a Chinese funeral.
Here are crowds of men as industrious
as any in the world, there a few
women hobbling along on their deformed
feet. Here are minstrels making
horrid din, there are fortunetellers,
of which there are hundreds on
the streets. Here are gambling tables,
. and yonder opium dens. Here a
traveling barber, ready to shave
you for three cents, there a
. traveling restaurant and everything
ready to cook you a meal in two minutes,
and for two cents. Here you can
taste the tasteless birds'-nest soup.
There you can eat dog and cat or rat to
your heart's content. Here is carved
on \iT/vn,7orful fli'lfr. Will ll.'irdlv
know which to admire most, the ingenuity
or the patience that did the
work, there silk shops where you wonder
again how such beautiful and
costly fabrics can come from such
dirty holes and such awkward looms.
Here is a stand where betelnut is sold
to its victims, there a drug store where
we saw snake skins, deers' horns and
rhinoceros hide on side for medicine.
The names of many of the streets
denote their specialties. "Curiosity
street" has stores that are perfect museums.
"China-ware" street is beautiful
with that style of ware. " Shoestore
street" is a mile long and full of shoemakers.
"Jade-stone street" has many
stores which are entirely filled with
necklaces, bracelets, earrings and ornaments
made of that precious stone.
The names of other streets are
curious, poetical, and somewhat
contradictory or in contrast
with reality. The "stieet of
humanity" is tilled with gamblers.
The "street of a thousand-fold peace"
is full of sorrow and suffering. On
the "street of benevolence anil love"
' is the temple of horrors. The " street
of nine-fold brightness" is dark and
1 gloomy. The "street of a thousand beatitudes"
is full of poverty and distress.
The "street of refreshing
breezes" is noted for foul odors. On
the other hand, the "street of a hundred
sons," and the "street of a thousand
grandsons" and "Old clothes
street" are each true to their names.
SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
The researches of Messrs. Itiehet and
Bondeau indicate that artificial respiration
may be a valuable agent in the
resuscitation of persons who have bet-n
exposed to cold until life is nearly extinct.
After a recent violent storm on the
English coast a quantity of saline
, matter was observed on windows at a
distance inland. The deposit is believed
to have been made l?y ocean
spray, which in this case must have
. been blown by the wind at least sixty
! miles.
The manufacture of lead paint in
America was begun by a young man
named Harrison. He started a factory
( of sulphuric acid and white lead in
? New York in 1798. Xow there are
, 145 factories in this country engaged
( in the production of paints and lead
, pigments.
The importation of tin plates into
l the United States has increased in a
, remarkable degree within the last few
[ years. The imports in 1870 were
. 1,507,000 boxes; in 1875, 1,920,000
boxes; in 1870, 1,800,000 boxes; 1877,
i 2,140,000 boxes; 1878,2,100,000 boxes;
, 1879, 3,120,000 boxes; 1880, 3,380,000
boxes; and in 1881. 3,000,000 boxes.
' There are about twenty boxes of eom
mon tin plate to the ton. Two of the
i chief causes of the increased demand
[ for tin in the United States are found
: in the enormous canning industry and
the growth of the tin-rooiinir business.
A recent correspondent of Nature is
3 very much worried about the earth's
. atmosphere, which, he says, has bei
come so polluted by the burning of
1 coal that in the year l'JUU all annual
$ life upon the globe will cease, killed by
> carbonic dioxide. Another correspond1
ent, joining this prophet of evil, shows
! that while most of the gas is washed
i out of the air by rain, some products
of combustion (or rather in3
complete combustion), as hydrogen
_ and the hydrocarbons, remain. Of
t these unburned gases 100,000,000 tons
e have escaped into the air within thirty
t years. What will be the result of this
s accumulation? According to Profes{
sor Tyndall hydrogen, marsh gas and
e ethylene have the property in a very
\x high degree of absorbing and radiates
ing heat. From this we may conclude,
e says the correspondent, that thcincl
creasing pollution of the atmosphere
h will have a marked influence on the
(j climate of the world. The mountainous
regions will be colder, the Arctic
regions will be colder, the tropics will
be warmer and throughout the world
0 the night will be colder and the days
yr warmer. I n the temperate zone winter
s will be colder and winds, storms and
rain-fall greater.

FOR THE LADJES.
Courtship In Mcxico.
Courtship is carried on in a most extraordinary
manner in Mexico.
The part a man plays in courtship is
called" doing tlie bear;" which is a
translation of "hacerel oso." It is
quite a common expression in Mexico J
to say: "I am doing the bear to Miss
so and so;" or for the girl to say:
" That young man is doing the bear to
me."
" llacer el oso " consists in passing
up and down the street where the object
of the gentleman's admiration resides
between the hours of 5 and
y o'clock every afternoon, with his
eyes fixed on the balcony, where she is
standing, if she wishes to encourage
him or some other " oso."
f.mt rir nn linrsnhiifk.
itv .....V ,
but the latter position is more effective,
:is lie is nearer the balcony, and
looking up from under the wide brim
of his large Mexican hat is very impressive.
Then lie govs to the same church
and to the same mass as she does and
looks at her all the time she is praying,
and he ought to be doing the same. If
he sees her in the theatre he never
takes his eyes from her face anil is utterly
regardless of all that is going on
on the stage. lie follows her also on
horseback to the public drive, or Mexican
Central park, glancing at her from
under his "sombrero jarano." lie walks
after her in the street when she goes out
shoppingaecompaniedby some elderly
lady; in fact, he follows her everywhere
without ever speaking to her,
unless he happens to dance with her
in a ballroom. If he receives a great
amount of encouragement, then he
passes up and down the street where
she lives, not only in the afternoon,
but at other hours in the day, and
stands for an unusual length of time
in a doorway on the opposite side of
the street, making signs to her with
his handkerchief and with the smoke
of his cigar. (In Mexico, joined to the
language of flowers and the fan, there
is also the language of the handkerchief
and of the cigar.)
"When lie finds lie cannot express all
he wants to say to her with these signs,
then he writes to Jier, and when it is
quite dark he throws his notes on the
balcony, tied to a small bouquet so
that they may fall well at the feet of
his ladv lc^ve, or he pays some servant
to act the part of Mercury, and in that
way sends and receives letters. This
epistolary courtship sometimes lasts
for years, and very often comes
to nothing. Uefore visiting the
house some person; of influence proposes
the young man to the father or
mother as a " liance*' for the young lady,
and if they accept hjm then lie is allowed
to visit, hut on ly sees and speaks
*o his intended wife :in the presence of
the entire family. I_n every case the
Mexicans are obliged to do the bear.
It requires an immense amount of patience,
a special study of the manner of
using the eyes and a great abnegation
to do the bear as it ought to be done.
Patience is tried by standing for hours
in a doorway; the eyes must be able t?i
express a great deal at a considerable
distance, and abnegation is proved by
walking and standing in the street, in
the sun and in the rain, as the weather
is no excuse whatever for not finding
the"oso"at his post. If a man wants
to win the heart of a Mexican beauty
he must muster up courage and gc
through this routine, as it is impossible
to gain her affections without doing the
bear to her.

How few, indeed, hold their place
here for any length of time, even after
years of toiling, stealing and struggling
to reach it.
When I first pitched tent in this town
one of the finest houses that crowned
Murray Hill and fronted Fifth avenue
was held by the man who "struck oil."
A good, kindly man he was, too; and his
family of pretty children, born and
brought up since the first How of oil
on which he floated into power and
prominence, I found to be cultured, refined
and altogether lovely. J3ut you
seek for their family in vain on Murray

SCENES OF HORROR.
Details of the Destruction of a Russian
Circun^IIniidrrdn of llvca Lost.
The Vienna correspondent of a London
pnper gives the following details of the recent
burning of a Russian circus :
The performance had reached the fifth
item in the programme, some clowns being
in the ring, when anpther clown in acting
costume rushed in, shouting " Fire !" At
first the poople thought this was part of the
performance, and laughed; but immediately
afterward the ringmaster rushed in and gave
the alarm. The scene of horror that ensued
was indescribable. The audience were so
closely packed that motion was almost impossible.
Some in despair flung themselves
from the galleries, and parents unable to
save themselves made a desperate uttempt to
savo their children by throwing them down
into tho ring. Some of the men wearing the
long coats of tho Russian Jews were entangled
on spikes and remained hanging in
the air, while the whole building resounded
with heartrending cries. In tho ring, where
the clowns had been performing, there was a
carpet, and for a little while the children were
safe in tho center of this; but when the
frown-mi tieoulo in their desnair heiran
jumping from the dress circle and galleries,
the whole ring became one inextricable mass,
in which the children were trampled to death
or suffocated before the flames reached
them. But even this was not the worst. The
horses soon bccamo unmanageable, and
about a dozen of them, driven mad with
pain and terror, broke into the ring, trampling
to death tho people huddled together
there. AH this occurred in less time tlinn it
takes to describe, and in twenty minutes all
was over?at least half tho people who had
been in the building being burned to death
or suffocated. At the windows and various
exits scenes of tho most horrible description
were enacted, some of the strongest, in their
efforts to extricate themselves from the
struggling mass, forcing others weaker than
themselves into the liatnes.
The fire brigade was summoned; but the
engine was delayed by falling through the
ice, and when it arrived the water in the
tanks was frozen. The doors of the circus
opened inward, and the sido entrances were
nailed up. Effoits were begun on Sunday to
recover tho bodies. At tho main entrance
tc the circus lay tho burned and blackened
bodies of a heap of victims, their heads
fairly outside tho door, while their bodies
were held as though in a vice by
tlioso who had crushed npon them
from behind. Further inside the ruins
many of tho bodies were burned to a
cinder. Tho total loss of life has been ascertained
to bo 2B8, and of those 187 had op
to last night been identified and claimed by
their relatives. Twenty-one bodies are still
awaiting identification, wliilo snty others
have been literally burned to a cinder and are
past all hope of recognition. Among those
who perished are said to bo two English
clowns, one of them named Weston. The
head of the Bourse committee and
the colonel of the police are
among the victims, tho majority of
whom are said to bo Jews. A Jew named
Bercsowac, whose wife and three daughters
wero killed in tho circus, attacked in tho
open street on Sunday M. Korosiloff, the
chief of the Merchants' Guild, and after severely
wounding him wiLh a knife attempted
to commit suicide by cutting his own throat.
It is stated that Kg osiloff, in effecting his
own escape, had pushed back Bercsowac's
[ wife into the fiarnes. Four women who lost
their husbands went mad in the confusion and
horror of tho night.
The Missing Link.
There is now being exhibited at the
Royal aquarium in London a strange
hairy little creature named Krao.
Ki'ao is described as a very brightlookinir.
intelligent girl of about seven
years of age. She was caught, according
to the account given of her, in the
forest near Laos, and brought to England
by Mr. Carl Bock, a Norwegian,
who, since the expedition described by
him in "The Ilead Hunters of Borneo,"
has been exploring Siam and the wilder
States to the northeast. Hearing in
various quarters of the existence of a
race of hairy-tailed men, similar in appearance
to a family kept at the court
of Mandalay, he offered a reward for
the capture . of a specimen. A
man was caught, and with him the
child now exhibited, and a woman
of similar appearance then allowed herseif
to be taken. "When the little one
attempted to wander the parents called
her back with a plaintive cry, "Kra-o,"
and the call has been adopted as her
name. The eyes of the child are large,
dark and lustrous; the nose is flattened,
the nostrils scarcely showing; the
cheeks are flat and pouch-like, the lower
lip only rather thicker than is usual in
Europeans; but the chief peculiarity is
the strong and abundant hair. On the
head it is black,[thick and straight, and
grows over the forehead down to the
heavy eyebrows, arid is continued in
whisker-like locks down the cheeks.
The rest of the face is covereil with a
fine, dark, downy hair, and the shoulders
and arms have a covering of hairs
from an inch to an inch and a half long.
There is, it is said, a slight lengthening
of the lower vertebra;, suggestive of a
caudal protuberance, and there are
points in the muscular conformation
and otherwise which will provoke discussion.
Krao has already picked up a
few words of English. She is said to
be of a frank, affectionate disposition,
and shows truly feminine delight in her
clothes, jewelry and ribbons. The
showman exhibits her as " the missing
link."?Neto York Htrald.

prairies, violent whirls are frequently
formed, having a force sutlicient to lift
a man from the ground and transport
him to a considerable distance. At
such times the llaiue is sometimes collected
into a fiery column, rising to the
height of two hundred feet or more.
Some years since, during the burning
of a cane-brake in Alabama, several
whirls were formed in the midst of
the llames, some of which rose to the
height of two hundred feet, and in
form resembled the upper cone of an
hour glass. Similar effects were produced
by the conflagration of Moscow,
September 14-20, 1812.

"My little four-year-old girl bad a powerful eruption
on her face and head. Under her eyes It was regular
scalding red and sore, like a burn. Back of ber left ear
we bad to shave bor hair close to her bead. Five or six
physicians and two hospitals gave np her case as incorable,
4ATe that she might ontgrow it. When it began to
maturate I became alarmed. In three weeks, with
Hood's Sarsaparilla, tho sores began to heal; two bottles
made her eyes as clear aa ever. To-day sho is as well as
