the Craig ifs Cappean well, which had
just reached the sand. He had lowered
a shell Dontaining 20 quarts of ritro•
glycerine to the depth of 100 feet in the
• well, when he disovered that the well
was about to make a- flow. He knew
that the fermi of the oil would carry the
torpedo out at the top, and if it were
thrown upward with the flow,it would
be exploded in contact with a derrick
beam. If it escaped from thnvolume of
oil it would fall back to the ground and
expkcle. In either case Bankson knew
that certain destruction awaited him
and the property of his employers, un
less the' torpedo could be secured. With
remarkable presence of mind he placed
himself at the mouth of the well, and as

Nothing can he more unfair than to
ascribe_failere to a law having, such a
history as the Scott Act.
Notwithstanding the disgracefal-
aetionef the Dominion Government, the
—Scott Act has been prodeetive of Much
good.. In some, counties the temperance
pepplei were sufficiently' well organized
to command -the Support of the politicians
,and the municipal bouneile. With these
at their back they secured the appoint-,
anent of p,,lice magistrate and eatable
inptoii Supplementing .these -with
organized efforts, maintained by private
funds subscribed ter the purpose; they
were ableto test the merits of the Act.
The reiult has been, in these' places,
wore effective than the most ardent ad-,
vocate of the AAt would have dared to
prophesy. Drunkenness rare,..rowdyistn
suppressed, crime reduced to a mini-
mum, treating abolished, and drunkards
converted into sober and respected chi-,
zens. In othe counties 01 these tektite,
' in a greater or less degree, were
rent for a time; but lacking the Organi-
- zation of local political influence and
power, private citizens wore !unaided or
indifferently supported • by the councils,
and so found themselvesovettaxed, and
their vigilancegrachially lessened.- in
Some places the passage of the Act was.
respected by tho better Class of hotel -
keepers, who loyally fell bate.' line with
the law. But the more disreputableof
the liquor men secretly violated the law.
When a 'reefs Were made they often. se -
°tired dismissals by tl* most flagrant
perjury, which,petjury was actually pro -
'claimed. a product of the Act. :Then
followed a• more open system of sailing,
accompanied with terrorism.; lives wore
th reatened, helms and borne were burned;
-dynamite was used, horses and fat -Mite
dogs were mysteriously ' poisoned, and:
