' It is believed that ptrolciim oil eiiats in Wb nuaiititio in Alabama, In tho counties of Whigtn, Clarko, Ox-taw and Marengo. During the war salt makers in this region fouud that the gas arising from the salt water would take firo in a minute. In Washington eonnty after the war a well was bored and thu (as came up with such explosive force, flaming up to such a height, that nil tho workmen fled ilm woods, and tho well was ahtudnii d.

At nicnltime the dogs lit In a row, each with a tin dish before him containing his repast. Oraee is said by cue of the monks, tho dogs sitting motionless with bowed heads. Not one of them stirs until the "amen" is spoken. If a frisky puppy attempts to sample his meal before grace is over, one of the older dogs growl and gently lugs his ear. m:ttini a iiuokkn nitk. The latest triumph of modern surgery is the repair of a lioston woman who had fallen sev enty feet and broken her neck. 'J'lie nock wai broken just as tho neck of culprits who aro hanged on the gallows-namcly, by dislocation of tho vei tebrio. Fortunately tho spinal mar row was not injured, or tho repairs could not have been made. Having chloroformed tlie poor woman, the surgeons had the pleasure of hearing the bones and ligaments snap as they forced the displaced verlebnu into proper posi tion. The woman, on awaking, seemed lo think that her head had como off and that it had boon put on crooked. The operation sug gests a new field of experiment on the bodies ot executed orimiuals. TIIH TIMDF.lt TRADR The vulito of the timber crop In this country is not generally appreciated. Last year the value of tlto tlmbor crop proper was 1700,000,. 000 or moro than tho value of tho corn crop. This immense sum does not Include tho wood used in cooperage, $34,1)00,(100, nor tho bark consumed In tanneries, $17,000,000, north wood used in tho manufacture of matches $3,. 000,000, nor tho Immense amount of wood used in tho construction and repairs of rail roads. Tho annual reurwul of railroad track require, ubout 2r,000,000 ties. Those figures give some idea of tho importance of the timber crop. It is tho largest crop of the country, Andovery year in this country, whore tree planting is not generally practiced, the crop becomes less and list In localities, and there is a corresponding riso In tlir value o titular in other sections. The white piiu crop has reached its maximum, and yellow pin is to bo the crop of the future LATEST NEWS NOTES. Happenings of Interest to All, At Home and Abroad. mmiktiii.m; aiioit iiananam.
