these are, they are 'often

World's Deepest
Hole-Man-Made
Thirty-five miles southeast of
New Orleans in the Mississippi
Delta marshes is the world's
deepest hole - a record 22,559
feet.
The hole has been drilled by
Richardson and Bass of Fort
Worth, Texas, Whether it pro-
duces oil or not, it will have
cost more 'than $2,000,000.
The Richardson-Bass outfit
consists of two barges sunk in-
to nine feet of water at the end
of a channel dredged out of the
Louisiana marshes. The actual
drilling barge is 140-feet long,
54-feet wide and 12-feet high.
On top of the barge 'is a 136-
foot derrick.
Beside the drilling barge, and
connected by a walkway, is the
boiler 'barge. Located on this
barge are five 150-horsepower
boilers which provide the steam
to drive a huge rotary engine.
The boilers are fired by natu

As the procession rounded a

He wept. He saw into the future.
In a few days the people of this
favored city would reject Hint
and crucify Him. Spurred by
their religioUs leaders they
would cry out, "His blood be on

other forty years it would coins

The beautiful city would be laid

people would be slain.

a few cynics who openly mock

could be described as indifferent.

Ostrich Farming In Africa
raj, gas supplied from another
well, Spudded-in last Fob,
work has been 'going en for
almost a year,
Incidentally, the command,
post'far this huge operation is;
not on, the drill site but some
500 miles away in, the sky-
scraper office of E. (Ed) Hill,
Manager of Operations for
Richardson and Bass.
Here by means of telephone,
Mr, Hill keeps a constant cheek
on what he calls rig. No, 25.
His desk is piled with reports,
electric log graphs, geologic
surveys, and special maps.
" The biggest problem in
drilling to depths greater than
20,900 feet," Mr. Hill said, "is
in maintaining the proper cas-
ing program that will give yOu
a big enough hole size at the
bottom,
"If you start out too small
at the top, you'll end up at he
bottom with drill pipe the size
of spaghetti. We have been ex-
tremely fortunate," Mr, Hill
continued, "in that we have
yet to have a single drill pipe
lailure.
"Pipe failures mean fishing
jobs - that is, probing by re-
mote control to bring up 'the
broken end, With drilling costs
of almost $5,000 a day - we
couldn't afford to stop many
times for this sort of thing."
Mr. Hill then went on to ex-
plain some of the unbelievable
strains placed on drill pipe at
such tremendous depths. Foe.
example, a string of drill pipe
at such a depth will stretch
about 20 feet. "I know it may
sound fantastic," Mr. Hill said,
"but much of the drill pipe was
not new but had been previous-
ly used on other drilling pro-
jects."
Among the hazards of deep
drilling is the exceptionally
high temperature encountered
at great depths. The overburd-
en pressure-that is, the weight
of the earth-at this record
depth is approximately 20,500
pounds per square inch. In fact,
temperatures as high s 350 de-
grees Fahrenheit have been re-
corded.
It is Mr. Hill's calculated
guess that if trouble develops
it May be in the rig's mud sys-
tem, because of the tempera-
ture.
According to Mr. Hill the
drilling mud is pumped down
inside the drill pipe, emerges
through the drill bit, and "re-
turns to the surface by climb-
ing up the outside of the "drill
pipe. The mud not only cools
the hole, but also brings up drill
bit cuttings. The mud weight is
now over 18 pounds per gallon.
It has to be thickened constant-
ly to maintain a hydrostatic
head to counteract the forma-
tion pressure.
"We think we can operate at
a bottom hole temperature of
up to 370 degrees with our pre-
sent mud system," Mr. Hill de-
clared. "If it gets much hotter
than that we will end up mak-
ing bricks out of the mud at
the bottom of the hole"
Nearly $2,000,000 has already
been spent to drill to the record
depth, $446,000 of which went
for mud.
It Was an advertisement in a
newspaper that started it, It
read: "Are You. Lonely? Are
You Looking or An Ideal Mate?
Let Us Help you, Write Bor 4444
Post Office, Columbus, Ohio."
Dozens of lonely folk answer-
ed, and a new racket in "forlern
hearts" was launched. Which,
arnagirt2IY, went on, for four
year until a suspicious client in-
vestigated.
For what the lovelorn peeple
did not know was that, the line-
jer hearts agency, named the
"Idealists' Club," was run by a
prison officer, assisted by twelve
conviets!
Signing himseif as the secre-
tary, the officer (a fingerprint
expert at, the Ohio Convict
Prison) had conceived a get-
rich-quick scheme in which vir-
tually all the paper work was
done secretly° by' convict associ-
ates. Their reward was a cut
of the profits.
Tne initial response was so
good, that soon the aclvextise.-
ment was appearing in scores of
papers, up and down the country.
Thousands .of limply people an-
swered and in reply received
printed leaflets extrolling the
success of the agency in pairing
off those who longed to get mar-
ried. The leaflet stated: "We
have been successful in helping
many thousands of men and
women to find the happiness
which can only be experienced
by those who have found their
ideal." Those who wished to find
their "ideal mate" were guaran-
teed rositive results - for a
mere dollar!
Those who sent the dollar re-
ceived names and addresses of
several people of the opposite
sex -'"scientifically chosen by a
'new infallible method, as their•
ideal mates."
How many actually did find
their "ideal mates" was never
diecovered. Presumably those
who failed probably felt that
they had expected too much for
a dollar and did nothing more
about it.
But one man, living not far
from Columbus, was not satisfied
and wrote to the Idealists' Club
demanding his Money back. Re-
ceiving' no replies to several
such requests, he solicited a
friend's help and, using his ad-
dress, wrote again in a disguised
hand, peeing as a lonely spinster
loEiking for a husband.
After the usual exchange ('a
dollar for an address) he was
put in touch with himself!
New thoroughly suspicious, he
went to the post office at Colum-
bus" to which all mail for the
Idealists' Club was directed, and
kept watch. He saw the prison
officer pick up the mail, followed
him to the jail - and immediate-
ly wrote to the governor.
So the get-rich-scheme was
discovered ,and brought swiftly
to an end. Inveitigation reveal-
ed a lilt of over 300 names of
"ideal' mates" in the organizer's
possession, with masses of liter-
ature which had been printed on
small hand Presses within the
prison by his convict friends.
.He was convicted of fraud and
sentenced to a five-year term,
while his convict friends had an
extra 'year tacked on to their
sentences.
VpsidedoWn to Prevent Peeking
GOSSIP
Here's news for wives who
like to gossip over the garden
fence. Gossip is one of the heal-
thiest of all pastimes, say lung
specialists.
At' a recent conference in
France, one pointed out that
many human ills result from
weakness or deterioration of the
lungs. Intensive talking, he de-
clared, strengthens these deli-
cate organs.
"Women love gossiping more
than men," he went On. "It is
fairly certain that talking makes
women live longer."

Mexican "Fagin"
Hanged By Fate
It is commonplace to speak of
the irony of fate, but what bet-
ter examples are there than
the strange and bitter quirks of
fortune which have brought re-
tribution 'to criminals? '
A man was convicted of mur-
der, but well-meaning people
were convinced of his innocence.
They launched a fierce cam-
paign in his favour but, Un-
aware of this, the condemned
man asked for writing materials.
Meanwhile, -the Home Secretary,
impreased by the representa-
tions, called a meeting of legal
officials. The condemned man
might have been reprieved had
not the meeting been interrupt-
ed by the arrival ,of his con-
fession !
,Peter Kurten, the eVionster of
Dusseldorf" who- was executed
in 1929, had at least nine mur-
ders and seven attempted mur-
ders against him. Only one thing
lay to his credit : he had spared
a girl who had begged for
mercy. And this girl was the
only one of his victims who was
able to point him "met to the
police. -
It was ironical that Patrick
Mahon, who killed a woman and
dismembered her body at a cot-
tage' at Peventey Down in 1924,
should haee .been "brdught to
justice by , his wife who loved
him. She became worried at his
habit• of staying out late, and

Whether he buries his head
or not, the ostrich is still an un-
orthodox enough creature to
get himself considerably talked
about.
He lives on lucerne ("lucerne

tons, and alfalfa to Canadians,"
says Mr. Harris, " it's all the
same") and helps grind it up
with marble-sized stones which
he swallows. Being a desert

for camouflage over the eggs by
day. Males have a squawk - fe-
males are completely voiceless.
Both grow up to seven or
eight feet in height, can jump
up to 10 feet, but never leap
the five-foot wire with which
they are fenced.
Why do they farm ostriches at
Oudshoorn? Because of the low
humidity with the eight to •ten
inches a year rainfall - very
suitable for ostriches.
Ostrich-farming really came
into its own just before World
War I, during a' boom when
every fashionable lady had an
ostrich-feather fan, boa, or hat,
But 'the boom was shdrt dun-
* lien. Ever eince, the Oudshoorn
farmers have been hoping, for
a new one. Queen Elizabeth II
gave trade a fillip by wearing
an ostrich-feather cape with
which she was presented during
a visit to South Africa, and. also
ostrich feathers in her hats.

The ostrich is pretty general-
ly known as the bird that is al-
ways sticking its neck out. But
most everyone here feels the
time has come for someone to
do it for him.
-It seems that the ostrich is a
much-maligned creature. You
ought to know, therefore, that
the' ostrich does NOT bury his
head.
The explosion of this popular
myth will likely cause some re-
' gret among politicians, journal-
ists, and others who cannot
seem to get along without a
sprinkling of adjectival ,a os-

they should know. For here
they get closer to ostriches than
anywrere. This is the only place
they farm them.
Some 200 farmers in this area
keep' about 25,000 birds which
produce 55,000 lbs. of feathers a
year. About 70 per cent go to
Britain and the United States
either to grace Fifth AVenue
and Bond Street salons with os-
trich feather evening capes and
fashionware, or somewhat more
mundanely, to Make feather

one bury its head yet.
