DANGER IN BORING FOR OIL ;> Fluid Frequently Come3 With Foro? H and Suddenness Tb?t Workers |P| Find Hard to Control. \ Fuel oil, as u means of propulsion, has been gradually coming into favor for a number of years. The war increased its use In many ways, and the coal strike gave a fillip that may only be overcome when the comparative cost between coal and fuel oil jrive^ the former the advantage. Bori>1 for oil Is often accomplished with danger <t0 the men from the pent-up force vhfch is released. The first Indication that oil has been reached is a rush of gas and then comes oil. sometimes with such terrific force that It has ^ been known to ca *ry tools, gear and loose siones ami carui i<? u sirm height. Large quantities of oil are often lost before a valve ran be placed over fhe hole ami a check put upon the gusher. So great is the pressure? it varies from 200 pounds to 3,000 pounds?that ol! n.r.y spout hundreds of feet into the air. in Mexico, a few L years ago, a column of oil reached 600 measured feet. It Is unsuitable for use when first got out of the ground, owing to the mud it contains, but when this has settled to the botfoin of the settling tank it is refined. First petrol and benzine are extracted by distillation before it is sent to the gftorage tanks to be used as crude oil. So far the method which finds most favor for burning oil in furnaces is known as the low pressure furnace, and is forced through pipes to the barrier under the boiler in the form of a "fine s(>ray. RAP AT MODERN PREACHERS Bisttop Denny lens Ciooa siory jn Whjch Distinct Moral Is Not Too Well Hidden. I Bishop Collins Denny said in an address in Richmond: "I heard a story the other day that { hits a good many preachers. It seems that the janitor of a fashionable | chnrch was showing his wife through J the edifice. At the end of the inspec- j tion he said to her: " 'Would you like to hear me "C preach ?' "'Go on! You can't preach!' she objected. "'Can't I, though?' said the janitor, end he went up into the pulpit and ranted and roared and raged a good 20 minutes or more about the vile sins committed daily by the heathen in equatorial Africa. "Then when he finished, he said, as he came down, wiping his hot face: ! " There; how was that for a sermon ?' " 'It was mighty fine,' said his wife. r'BiU you told all about the sins of the natives away off in Africa and never a word about the sins of the folks right here at home.' , ? "The janitor chuckled. " 'Ha! Ha!' he said. 'I know the tricks of preachin* too well for that'" ?Los Angeles Times. I | How It Happens. V Five villains, with gyves upon their wrists, sat in durance vile.

"Alas, sir," replied the most low- ! - browed of the lot. "Our lack of fore- I ^ thought was our undoing. We ex- i pected to encounter only the usual heavily armed guard, which could not j run and capture a lost gosling. In- ; stead, we met this lame lad with a club, who meant business and had no j de6lre to show off. Of course, we did H not know how to comport ourselves." j ?Kansas City Star. | ftefused to Award Prize. r Eighty-three years ago the city of Frankfurt-am-Main, birthplace of Goethe and home of Germany's great-; est bankers, established * a Mozart prize to bf awarded annually for the best musical composition along any line that the competitors might feel i disposed to follow. Forty-five manuscripts, were submitted in 1921. but ! ffor the first time in the history of the prize, worth 5,000 marks, no award ' was made, the reason being inferior j quality of all the works sent in.

"We are here in the zoo. too," said Mr. Bar-Headed Goose, "and prav do i not forget us." "What about you?" asked the Afrij can Spur-Winged Goose. "Do you I fisrht for your mates?" "Xo," Mr. Bar-Headed Goose answered. "Then what do you do?'' asked the African Spur-Winged Goose. "You should do something or have something interesting about you. Most u. ? -?~ "1 Am as Handsome." cn-atures have, If we bother to find out. and so I hope you have, l'ou notice I'm bothering to find out." "WelJ," said tlie Bar-Headed Goose, "i'm from the mountains of the central part of Asia. Yes, they must think something of me and of my family to bring me such a great distance. "There we build our nests more than a mile above the sea. But that isn't why they brought us here. I will tell you why." "Do." said the African Spur-Winged Goose. "We are considered more handsome than any other geese." "Well, that is a distinction," said the African Spur-Winged Goose. "I aTj] as handsome as any geese from this part of the world, though." said the White-Fronted Goose. "I came from Alaska where I lived in a hollow which we called our nest, as we made the loveJy ground floor and walls and ceiling of moss and other soft things which we put over the sand." 'Tm nothing but a Common Wild Goose, but still tliev asked me if I would stay in the zoo, so I'm staying .to oblige them.

"For they've brought us here for people to oome and look at along i with the lions ami bears and tigers and elephants." "Of course," said the African Spur- j Winged Goose, "I am more of a duck than I am of a goose." "What is the matter with you?" asked the White-Fronted Goose. "Are you becoming ashamed of being a goose?" "les; what is the matter with you?" asked the Bar-Headed Goose. "I'd like to know that, too. I'd really like to know why you say you're more of a duck than a goose." "Are you going back,on us?" asked the Graylag Goose, whY> was of the family of wild geese who are the relaf ?

There was a great deaJ of noise then in the pond, where they were all swimming, which had been made for them in a house in the zoo, for It was winter time. "I will tell you: pray be patient." said the African Spur-Winged Goose. "Me will tell us," they all shrieked, "if only we will he patient." "Then let me speak," said the Africnn Spur-Winged Goose. "I am proud of being a goose and of having as my name the honorable name of Goose, but I am somewhat of a duck as far as my looks are concerned.
