ch have been employed have been much modified by the experience in boring the oil-wells of the petroleum region. A great impetus was given to the exercise of ingenuity in this line by the exigencies of this branch of industry; the inventions including boringtools, toolgrabs, tool-jars, derricks, rodcouplings, reamers, welltubes and couplings, tube — packing, seed-bags, ejectors, and engines specifically adapted to sinking the shaft and raising the oil. The boring of the artesian well at Belcher's Sugar Refinery, St. Louis, was effected by a simple wedgeshaped drill, the size of which varied according to the diameter of the bore; this drill was screwed to a wrought-iron bar 30 feet long and about 2 1/2 inches diameter, weighing several hundred pounds. To the bar was screwed a pair of slips, so that the drilling was effected by the weight of the bar alone. To this were fastened the poles, each of which was 30 feet long. These were screwed together, and were made of two pieces of

She declined to stay there over night, but was escorted by Madam Belcher, the minister's wife, to the tavern to seek for a guide. The tavernkeeper's son offered his services, and she thus proceeds:-- Upon this, to my no small surprise, son John arose [the landlord's son], and gravely demanded what I would giby bestowing what she laid out in house-keeping, upon them.

The general court still persevered in its stubbornness; and, at last, as Belcher obtained leave of the crown to accept the annual grants, the controversy subsided, leaving victory to the strong will of Massachusetts.
