In certain of iho petroleum produc

times In opening nn nil well kohii'Muio
when the welt bus become clogged or
apparently exhausted-to Iirln or to
now tho How by exploding nliroglyi.
crin lit" the bnttoni of the well. ThH
explosive is employed bixauso ll Is ex
plode readily by the dropping of n
weight upon it. A limn who carrion
nitroglycerin from well to well for this
purposo Is known In the oil regions us
a "shooter."
Tho shooter has a wngon In which ID
rarry bis explosive. A Hquare box uti
dcr the scat Is carefully padded, and
whon it has been solidly II Hod with
cans of nitroglycerin, which Is a uio-'tiRscs-llkr
fluid, he fastens down tho
cover r.nd drives slowly nway to the
woll thnt ho Is to shoot Usually ho
makes the trip very early in thv morn
ing to nvold the customary travel nnd
no diminish tho chanc of danger.
For the moit part tbo rondn are bad,
nnd tho wagon jolts along In n way to
make any one but nu old shooter do
cldodly nervous. If It Is dark there
Is great danger that n wheel may drop
Into a hole with force enough to doto
nato tho oxploslve. Severn! wagons
bearing shooters and their load hnvo
been blown up, but no one over lived
to tell what sort of Jar caused the ox
plosion.
In such n raso little Is ever found ex
cept tho great bole In (ho ground which
tho oxploslon hns dug. with possibly n
wheel of tbo wagon it quarter of n
uillo away In one direction mid another
In tho opposllo direction.
Tbo shooter generally lakes from
SO to 210 quarts of nitroglycerin In
his wngon. Tbo smaller amount Is
quite enough If It should explode to
Jeuvo no trnco of tho driver of tho
vehicle.
"When tho shooter reaches' the woll
which is to bo trentod long torpedo
tubes nro placed within the casing of
tho well, nnd tho nitroglycerin Is poured
carefully into thoin. Tbo well may bo
1,500 feet deep mid Is seldom Ions than
n thousand. When one of the tubes Is
filled It is lowered with the utmost
enro to tbo bottom of tbo well. This
operation Is repeated until tbo shunt,
cr Is satisfied that tho load Is heavy
enough to nccotiiplhih tho purpose.
When nl! Is ready a liar of Iron, known
as n "godevll." Is dropped Into tho
woll. Tho Instant It leaves his hnnd
tho shooter t alios to hi heels, seeking
A place of safety.
Suddenly the earth trembles; there
Is n crash, followed by a miap: a tuiif
tied sound arises and becomes louder
nnd louder until a column of oil mid
water shoots from 75 to 100 foot Into
tho nlr. Tho country for hundreds of
feet around Is tilled with clouds of
spray Moating to leeward. When till
subsides the well Is In operation mid
tho shooter receives his foo nnd drives

Tho youthful newspaper reporter
who has visions of being u famous au
thor Is still wondering over Um epi
gram made by u successful confrere
when tbo latter noted his disappoint
ment over the return f u iiiauuxerlpt.
"I thought sure," said the reporter,
with n sigh, "that that confounded sto
ry would sell. It's good stuff. If I did
write It, anil I mn certainly surprised
that It en me hack."
Tho successful writer grinned nnd
then placed tils baud on the
oiber
man's shoulder.
"My dear boy," be said, some wo i
grimly, "there are only two singes in
the life of a writer. One Is when lio
Is surprised at getting his stories back
nnd the second when he Is surprised
nt not getting them bark. You're In
tbo tlrst; I'm ln tbo second. And there
you nro."
But tho reporter Is still wondering.
