TORNADO AND THE WOMAN.
In the Tussle Between Them ih T.t.

Miss Millie Milton Is probably the
only woman who can tell how it feels
to be carried In the arms of a cyclone.
When the recent tor
n a d o passed over
Denlson, Texas, it
picked up the girl
and carried her a
quarter of a mile and
gently set her down
In an orchard, in the
midst of Btorm deb
ris. She was with
out a scratch. Many
persons were injured,
and the storm that had carried her to"
safety brought destruction to men and
women throughout the town.
After the tornado had passed Miss
Milton was picked up by some neigh
bors in an apparently lifeless condi
tion. Her body was limp and flaccid,
her respiration was labored, her pulse
was slow. Medical assistance was im
mediately procured, and, although re
storatives were applied, they availed
nothing. Three days after her experi
ence she began to regain her senses.
Miss Milton says that her sensations
while sailing through the air were
pleasurable rather than otherwise.
When Miss Milton was first found an
examination made by a physician fail
ed to show a bruise or scratch on the
entire body. She showed all the symp
toms, he states, of a nervous shock, and

Aa Interview With at Well Knows Ctl
Kxpert.
A well-known oil expert has the fol
lowing to gay about the California oil
Industry:
The oil production of California is
now about 4,500,000 bairels annually.
This output is being increased very
materially each month by the product
of the new wells drilled to oil in the
different districts.
The qnehtion most frequently a skid
me, especially by capitalists and those
interested or likely to be interested iu
oil investments is: "Is there not a
possibility of overproduction of oil iu
California?"
There are two main belts extendiug
through the atate, located on the east
ern and western shores of ancient, pre
historic seas. One of these produces a
black and essentially fuel oil, and thu
other a green or gas oil.
The black or heavy oil makes an
ideal fuel, as has been proven by 20
vcais of experience in Russia and iu
this count) y.
In using oil as a fuel it is necessary
to exercise considerable judgment, and
to know what kind of oil as well as
what kind of a burner to use.
The two oils, the black and the
green, lie almost in two parallel belts
in California extending on the west
side of the San Joaquin valley and run
ning north and south' into northern and
soul hern California. There is likewise
a similar condition on the east side ot
the San Joaquin more or less in evi
dence as is shown by the ontcroppiugs
and geological formation. The east
side of the valley, however, has not yet
been prospected for oil as has the west
side, where developments have already
been, and where by far the largest
amount of the oil output of California
is at present obtained.
It is true that many far-seoing capi
talists have entered into the oil busi
ness and have reaped rich financial re
turns already, others have been too
conservative and are losing opportuni
ties which are fast being taken up by
Eastern capitalists, who arejapidly ap
preciating the chance California gives
for investments.

Japanese Wit.
Oriental wit of a kind to be better
appreciated than enjoyed in France is
credited to the members of a Japanese
embassy once sent to Farls to arrange
for three free ports to be opened in
Japan and France respectively. The
French officials after long deliberation
announced that they would be content
with the opening of Yokohama, Yeddo,
and Han-Yang. The Japanese listen
ed gravely, and, after they had deliber
ated In turn, nald they wanted Havre,
Marseilles, and Southampton. There

perior smiles, and called attention to
the fact that Southampton was In En
gland. "Yes," replied the Eastern
diplomats, maintaining the utmost
gravity, "and Han-Yang is in Corea."
This story, which Is said to be so old
as to be new, has been revived in con
nection with the visit of the Japanese
Ambassadors to the Paris exposition,
and it Is supposed in England to worry
the Frenchmen a lot. New York

A Great Glacier.
The largest glacier In Europe is the

numerous ramifications it covers an

This enormous field of ice wends its
branches down the valleys in all direc

accessible of its branches is the Brigs

extremely grand, surrounded as it is
with dark, bare ' mountains, fringed
with birch trees a perfect setting for
the mighty mass of snow and ice.
