Queer Oil Wells.

There used to be a curious oil well in Venango county, Pennsylvania, which never yielded a drop of oil except Sunday, to the great grief of Sabbatarians. But there is a well in Wheeler canyon, California, known as the Lunatic oil spring, which 1* quite as curious. When the new moon appears it begins to flow oil, and the flow increases in volume as the moon grows. When the moon Is full the spring yields three barrels a day. When the moon reaches its last quarter the flow ceases.
