That there is likely to be a big boom in oil oan be gathered from the fact that several new compan hes have been floated for mining petroleum in various parts of the world. The Standard ' On Com pany, which is considered to be the greatest and most successful mo- nopoly on earth, controls over 90 'slier cent.: of the export trade in American oil at the present day, and 80 per cent. of the domestic trade. The Standard also owns several vast oil -fields in Russia and other countries, The Standard Oil Company was formed in 1870 by Kr. John D. Rockefeller, with e. capital of a mil- lion dollars. Its authorized capi- tal at present is $110,000,000. A short time ago, Andrew Rapp, a farmer living - near Franklin, Pennsylvania, was accumulating a fortune at the rate of $80 an hour, the' proceeds of an oil -well drilled on his land. Rapp, it appears, was in a condition of penury owing to the failure o£ his crops. He drilled the -well • as a last resource, and was astonished to finch a "gusher," yielding 1,700 barrels of pure pe- troleum a day. The Standard shortly afterwards made a contract for this remarkable output. $50,000 A DAY1 The first oil -well bored in Penn- sylvania, in August, 1859, immedi- ately produced oil at the rate of twertyhfive barrels a day. Two years later the first flowing well was struck, and it furnished oil at the rate of 300 barrels a day. Ev- erybody went wild over the new in- dustry, and Dr. M. C. Egbert and a friend named Hyde purchased several acres of Iand in the oil- bearing district. On this land they succeeded in drilling thirty-two wells within a few weeks, which brought them in an income of $50,- 000 a day. In the mid-continent fields of Am- erica there are no fewer than 14,- 000 oil -wells, the majority being in _;Oklahoma. The Prairie Oil and' ° Gee Company—a Standard subsid- t ary-has in storage in steel tanks over 58,000,000 barrels of oil, 12,- 000,000 of which are in Washington I . County, Oklahoma. The first mid- continent oil -well was drilled so recently as 1892, near Neodesha, Kansas. Now the oil -wells in Kan- sas and Oklahoma are worth mil- lions of •dollars. Russia's best oil-bearing districts are situated on the southern side of the pehinsula of Apsheron, the south-eastern extension of the Cau- casus Mountains, which jut out in- to the Caspian Sea. 16,000,000 BARRELS A YEAR!

A Neighbor advised him to take Mein for his Itheuluatidm and Grave]. They oured him. West Gravelbourg, Sask., Jan. 2 (Special), -- Alexander McCarter, the postmaster here, has joined the great western arniy that has for its watchword, "When ailing, use Dodd's Kidney Pills." And like all others he has good and 'sufficient reasons. "I was laid up with Rheumatism and Gravel," Mr. McCarter states, and was also troubled with my bladder. I was so bad I could not do much work, A neighbor came along who had been troubled the same way, and advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I did it. I bought two boxes, and, using them according to directions, was soon able to go to work." Notice one thing: It was as neighbor who had been troubled the same way who advised the post- master to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. He also had been cured by them. That's why he recommended them. If you're troubled with Kidney Disease in any form—Backache, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Gravel, Dropsy, Diabetes, or Bright's Dis- ease—ask your neighbors. You'll soon find oe who has been cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. LAST OF • THE PIRATES "1 must $ay the captain was brave man.

Alameda him- self was hanged from the yardarm, where many a man had swung be- fore. We burnt the brigantine."' AGED VETERAN TELLS ABOUT TILE FIGHT. Hero of Many Adventures, Now of Great Age, is Still Hale and Hearty. In a. little bed -sitting -room down a court off the' Holloway road, there is now living a very an- cient seaman, named Edward Mun- ro, who played an adventurous part in attacks on pirates in the Spanish Main, South Atlantic, and ther parts of the world. He went o sea as a boy, and worked on many of the old sailing vessels— oto merchantmen and men-of-war says the London Daily Leader, He is still hale and hearty and is gaily recovering from a broken leg caus- ed by a collision .with a cyclist. He has had many narrow shaves, but says that he enjoyed the life im- mensely, and proudly tells the story of a great fight against a pirate ship in South American wat- ers which had come to be called the Black Demon. The capta,n of this notorious boat, which carried 30 guns, was in the habit of attacking defenceless merchantmen, murder- ing the crew by making them walk the plank, transferring the most aluabie cargo and then scuttling e ship. Another favorite way of Is was to sail up South American rivers, disguised as a merchant- man, and gion, and its producing areas are th at Bibi Eibat, two miles south of h• the city, and a Balakhani, eight miles north-east. These two places consist of no more than 1,600 acres of land, and .yet they have pro- duced, in less than fifty years, con- siderable more than 800,000,000 bar- rels of crude petroleum. The Droojiba Well, at Baku, commenced to flow in 1883 at the rate of 50,000 barrels a day before it was successfully capped, and its Row regulated. The oil fountain rose 200 feet, and was accompanied by so much sand as to bury houses and factories in the vicinity, Many people lost their lives; and the oil collected in the form of lakes deep enough to row a boat upon. For several months the flow was uncon- trollable, and when the well was finally capped, 18 was estimated that about 125,000,000 gallons had flowed to the sea and were lost. When the flow of an oil -well is ecreasing, a charge of nitro-gly- cerine, consisting of about eighty `''quarts, is lowered into the Voll in canisters, ;which aro exploded by 1 electricity. A fountain of oil and fragments s of ' rock g are sent hundreds s .--».o . feet ' m to the air Nothing tin g can be dons to stop the first flow from the well, and at least twenty-five or thirty barrels of oil are lost every time the'canisters of nitro- rllyoerine are exploded. dt KINDNESS TO TEACHER. "Jimmy," said the ford mother to her smart•nine-year-old, "what became of that fruit -cake I made. for you as a treat yesterday 1 Did you eat it?" "No, mamma," answered Jimmy, with a grin; "I gave it to the tea- cher instead." "That was very nice and gener- ous of you, Jimmy!" complimented bis mother, "And diel your teacher eat it?" "Yes; l: think so," answered Jim. �j y, > "She wasn't at school tot There's a lot of inhumanity mixed IJ ';lith human r�studo, , RAID THE VILLAGES. "We knew what it meant," said Munro yesterday, "when we were told to put to sea, We were on a war sleep, and we knew we were going to have a smack at the Black Demon, although the officers didn't say any thing about it. We only carried 24 guns to the pirate's 30, but we were faster than she was —we could sail 17 knots an hour to her 15—and we meant to board her. "We sighted her after a time and when she got near she tried some of her educe and signalled to us to heave to. We replied with a shot which upset her calculations a bit, and then the fun started. She tried to get her broadside battery on to us, but we were too quick for her. After we had damaged some of her guns,' the captain gave the order to board her, and then we jumped in- to the boats. She couldn't do us much damage then and we under her sides and robed upto. the dock. Thi. s wasn't , an easy job, but we all had tomahawks—sharp things like hatchets—and we pulled ourselves up by•cutting into the wooden side of the ship. The boarding -net was out, and the pir- ates were hacking and shooting at but we got on desk with the of only a few men and laid ut us right and left.

Crime as a profession is declining in London; Londoners are becom- ing more fond of walking and more careless; the "growler"' is still making a determined struggle for life; between 2 and 6 a.m. is the burglar's busy time; he likes in- secure windows best as a means of entry; and Jane Heath a. retired charwoman receives a pension of $62 a year. These are only a few of the things which the average Londoner does not know and which lie can learn from a perusal of a primly -bound panorama of London, Issued under the title of "Report of the Com- missioner of Peace of the Metro- polis for the year 1909." There is one constable now serv- ing in the force who joined in 1867. Those were the "good old days" when the burglar's life was worth living. In those days (to take the record of the year 1870) there were 19,095 felonies relating to property when the population was 3,618,992 —and only a few more than half of the felons were caught. Now the police catch 13,322 people fes -17,982 felonies; and 'although tho popula- tion has doubled, do bre d the total la mount secured by ' "professionals" only advanced from 8396,110 to 8666,105, while the amount recovered ad- vanced from $98,620 to $124,920. The returns of public vehicles al- low some interesting inferences. Hansom cabs, for instance, have IS,Silli NO. '�' 1 dl T H A M i". r9 p' TW6 MIC 6�T'MC m11.0 for CSQtJG1{,1g 'fit C.OLt7� fallen in number from 6,696 in 1905 to '0,299 last year, and fleets of taxi Dabs have been launolted to .take their place, ',There were only nine- teen too taxi cabs; in 1905, but there were 3,990 last year, There is, of course, a notable ins crease' in motor omnibuses, and tramcars, and a corresponding de- erease in their horse-drawn prede- cessors; but the. most remarkable thing about the public carriage statistics is this: there are fewer vehicles in use now than there were in 1905. In that year there were 26,585 vehicles on the road. Last year there were 16,906. Many of them are larger, of course, but then the population has also grown.con- siderably in the same time. So, ob- viously, Louden walks a good deal now, London still goes on its absent- minded way shedding its posses- sions in cabs and omnibuses. Sixty- five thousand three hundred and seventy five articles were reported found by the conductors of public Conveyances last year. -. Twenty-eight thousand and sixty- two of these articles were.restored to their owners, The rest, after three months, went to the drivers or conductors who found; them.; One man was rewarded with " ew w t i to sum e of $450 for his find, another. received $280.

Sufferings of Royal Personages From Strange Court Etiquette._ Two instances of the extremes to which royal etiquette is sometimes carried are given by H. Thiselton Dyer in his "Royalty in all Ages.,, "The fads of sovereigns with their royal etiquette were frequent- ly carried to such lengths," ho says, "as to make martyrs of them. 'According to an absurd story, when seated by the fireside Philip III. of Spain was once nearly suf- focated with heat from the large quantity of wood that the firemak- er had kindled; but his grandeur would not suffer him to rise from the chair and the domestics could not presume to enter the apart- ment because, it was against' the etiquette, "At length the Marquis de Potat appeared and the King ordered him t . damp the fire; o but he excused himself, alleging that he was for- bidden by etiquette to perform such unwhich a function, for the Duo d Usaada ought to be called upon, as it had his business. "The Duke was out, the fire burnt fiercer, and the King actual- ly endured it ratherthan derogate from his dignity, But As is said his blood was heated to such a degree that an erysipelas of the head ap- peared the next' day which, sue - seeded' by. a violent fever, carried him off in the twenty-fourth year of bfs reign. "And what can be. more 'ludic- rous than the following: The pal- ace was on fire; a soldier who knew the King's sister was in her apart- ment and must inevitably have been consumed in -a few minutes by the flames rushed in at the risk of his life and brought, her out. But Spanish etiquette was wofully broken and the loyal soldier was. brought to trial and condemned to death. The Spanish Princess, how- ever, in consideration of the cir- cumstance, condescended to pardon the soldier and his life was saved." It is a Liver Pill.—Many of the ailments that men has'' to contend with have their origin in a disorder- ed liver, which is a delicate organ, peculiarly susceptible to the dis- turbances that come from irregular habits or lack of care in eating and drinking. This accounts for the great many liver regulators now pressed on the attention of suffer- ers. Of these there is none super- ior to Parmelee's Vegetable Pills.
