In last Banday morning's Express I

Aad an article aredited to the Inter-Ocean, whioh makee the following atat-ment of the views bf Piofeessr Orton, the state geologist of Ohia "Mr, Orton lays down, ratLer arbitrarily, one would think, a rule that, whenth* Trenton roek is tke medium for the storage of it is aseief to continue boring if tt rock is not reached within a distanoe of 600 feet from tha sarfaoe. No rale in physics is worth aooeptanee if it admits a single exoeption, and a flow of gas, measuring 78,860 onbio feet per day, haa been obtained when the Trenton rook lav 1,100 feet below the surface: another tfaoogh smaller flow was gained wh?n the rock was 1,340 feet deep."

I have a eopy of Professor Orton'a report on petroleum and gas in connection with the geological sarvey of Oiio, and can find in it no eneh statement. I find, however, that he doee •ay this in regard to the Ohio gaS field in summarising the results given by that infallible indioator, the drill, in a large number of wells sank througheat the state. On page 74 ho says: "In no ease hss oil thus far been produced in any persistent supply from the Trenton limestone where its surface is five hundred fsst below the eea."

And again on page 159 he ssjra: "The districts of northwestern Ohio and eepecially thoee adjoining the Vindlay field in which the enrfsoa of the Trenton limestone lies meie than 600 feet below tide will not prove productive in oil or gas. In other words, there ate dead lines extending throngh the different nations of the field ana of theee the line of

MM fSotbeluw tide is by far the most important." This ie very different from saying that oil or gas is never found below a level of 500 feet from the enrfsoe of the land, for the surface of Indiana varies in altitude from 888 feet above the eea level as at Evansville, to 1101 feet abava as at Winchester in Randolph county. In the first case if the Trenton rock cannet be reached at a depth of 888 feet below the level of ground Professor Orton wonld advise against prospecting deeper. In the latter ease it wonld be safe to drill 1600 feet if the rock is not reached at a higher altitude.

It seems to be conceded by geologists that the Trenton roek was deposited from the waters of the ancient oeean which covered in distant agee mueh pf nhitisnow the United States. Sinee the formation of this limestone floor it has been subjected to disturbancee from below whieh have caused light undulations in its snrface, extending over great ares. Theee itlo waves or anticlinals, as they are called when they rise above the general surfaoe to characterise the Trenton rook in Ohio, Indiana and perhaps Illinois and farther west, and aie in marked contrast with the np ended and disloeated eoadltion. of. the same strata in the

Oae of these grsat anticlinals

sstends from Tenneesee to the state of Ohio and fross theaee northwesterly into Indians, gradually sabeiding as it approaches Lake Michigan. Aa off-shoot from this a roll extends northeasterly into Ohio and forms the Pimdlay gas and oil fields. As the two branches diverge a trough or eynolinal is formsd bewhich broadens aa the divergence froa the summit of the gently naadad plateau of ths Indiana arch theTren ton reek dine to the soathweet at an setimated toll of aboat fifteen feet to the mile. This,la all probability, is continued under tbeStata of Illinois, where a eynolinal is tocinaA and the roek rices again further weet. The aarfaoo of the land doee not, by any means, ooatuiai boriaentally or run paralell with thia aaeient ocean floor—the Trenie proved by that Infallible tell-tale, the drill. For example, Terre Haute ia 480 feet, and Huncie, in Delsware eevaty, is 900 feet above see level, a diflee ia altitude of 470 feet. Bnt the Tren ten roek wee etraek at Terre Hants at a depth of about 1,SCO feet below sea level, and at Mande 84 feet above eea level, a different in tha eltltode of the rook in the two looa'itiee of 1,184 feet., Salt water, oil and oae lie con tig aoaa to each other in the lower s'larisn forma tioa of whieh ths loweet member, or next to the kneel, ia the ftrtw roek. The water be log boaviart te found at the bottom of the eetisa, the *il er top of the water, and the gae by virtue ef booyaney i« found above the oil and may be looked for in elevated portion* of the strata or the anticlinal*, where there ie an apervioaa'rock or olayroof. The water, on the other hand, will be annd in tlieeynolinsls aad forma a trap to confine the gas in the elevated lc cations regardleee of its high preee ire. ths observations of Professor Orton, to who*e

I am indebted for the informa

tion I here give, led him to believe th*t the level of the salt water In the lower ailarian roeka of Ohia ia aoaiewhere near 500 feet below the eea level and that if the drill doee not strike the Trenton mek before it reaches that depth the yield will bo ealt water mingled with more or less oil and gas. This water ia foread to the sorfr.ee by the snpe^is oambent pressure of the ge, jast as a tups inserted in the top of a steam boiler and running almost to the bottom of it, wonld, if tapped, deliver at the pneeore of the atram above it. He doee not by any means assert that Trerton roek when fcnnd higher «than 600 feet below tide water wflmaearisbbr fnoaiah. oil or gas. There may be faults or seams in the •apiriacuabsat strata which have allowed the gas to seeape into the atmosphere, or the taxtcre of the Trembon roek may vary ard be oompsct and denes, instead of poroas or esvernous, whieh sasms to be the condition to ensure a libesal storag- of gas.

It Protossor Orton's deductions are ocrreot and the same mditions exist in southwestern Indiana as exiet in northwestern Ohio, thsn it jnuat be oonfwaed thst the proepecta are not all flattering for the company now drilling at the gaa works. After all, his hypothesis is not proven by any msans, and hia oonclosiace cannot be verified in this section of the slate at isast, until the crucial teat of the drill ia applied in nnmeroue loralitiea. These ie a possibility that the oomoany may find (pa payingquantitiea, and if they do nat^th will have the aatUfaetion of having wiuu something to the cause of scienoe. Mjr prinoP pal object in writing this article was ta the enterprising gentiemm who are egiUtUg the reopening of the Id wells in the center of the city, that the odde for their eueceaa in finding gai in this region are agairet than, and that it would be a wiser policy to wait a short time for ths rssults of the boring of the new well. It seems to me that it would bs a wanton infliction of an intolerable nuieence upon citz3vs residing in the neigh borhocd of these wells to oncoik thsse reeer voire of foul odore, and that, in tho event of their persistence^ that it would be the duty uf the board of health to interfere wad prohibit it. We have the cow nnisanes to Antend with, and are nearly suffocated by the dust which arises in cloude after the passage of a vehicle over our bad oanstrus'ed and worse taken cars o! streets, and if, in addition to theee plaguee. we are to be compelled to olose our doors and windowa daring the hot nighta whioh will eoon be I ere, tu keep the vile poieonoog gaa emitted from theee wells, it will become a question whether or nr life is worth living during the heated term in Terre Haute.-

Ihdiaxapous, May 18.—The monument erected by the Odd Fellows of the United Stabes to the memory of the late Vice-President Schuykr

fsrtment

The history of the peculiar services of Schuyler Colfax in Oddfellowship, which have resulted in the erection of this monument to his memory, are interesting. In I860, at the session of the Grand Lodge of the United States at Cincinnati, a resolution was introduced by Representative Smith, of New York, looking to the organisation of a degree for the wivee and daughters of members, whish was referred to the legislative committee. Schuyler Colfax, then 20 yean old, represented Indiana in that Grand Lodge, and with Larue, of Louisiana, and Kennedy, of New York, composed the legis•ative.committee. After considering the matter two reports were made, an adverse nport signed by Larue and Kennedy and a favorable report signed by Colfax. After gnat discussion, with much ridicule heaped upon the young brother, the Indiana representative by argument and reason carried his point, the resolution was adopted and a committee, of which Mr. Colfax was chairman, was appointed to pnpan a degree for the admission of women into the order. The ritual and secret work were prepared by Mr. Collax, and are essentially the same as thosa in use now. For many years it was regarded as aside degree. In 1868 chartered lodges were authorised, and later on their jurisdiction was enlarged. Originally, none but the wives of Scarlet degree members were entitled to receive it, but later legislation sduitted the unmarried daughters over eighteen yean of age, and thesisten of Scarlet degree memben, but a lady could not preside over the lodge. Later on this unjust restriction was abolished, and the attain ot the lodges given entirely into the hands of the female members. The ritual hss. been improved, the work beautified, and the degree now ia not excelled by any other in the order. There ere now 1,500 lodges, with 100,000 memben in the United States and Canada, 0,000 mem bers in Indiana. No one hesitates to give Schuyler Colfax the credit of being the author of the beautiful degree of Bebekah. 8o long as he Uved he advocated the cAnee of the order and it is for this special work that this monument is be ereoted by a grateful sisterhood, assisted by the brothers throughout the United 8tates and Canada. The monument costs $6,000, and not a dollar has been expended in commissions or in expenses of any kind—not even for stationery and postage stamps. The entire collection and disbursement oi tne fund has been a labor of love.

The pedestal is from a design by Mr. A. A. McKajn, and is from granite from Oak Hill, Me. It is symbolic in form. The three blocks at the base, on one of whioh is the word "Colfax," in raised polished letters, represents Faith, Hone and Charity. The chief side of the die

exhibits a scriptural ficirae, representing Bebekah at the well, giving drink to the servant of Isaac. This is in bronse me-

B«bekah at the well ink to the

dallion. The other sldea are embellshcd with raised emblems of the other branches of the order. From the die start three oolumns with a plinth. These represent the principles of the order— Friendship, Love and Truth. The tops of the oolumns are ornamented and covered with a cap, and on these rests a heroic statue of Colfax. Including the bronse block on which the statute stands, this ia eight feet end fonr inches high, while the whole structure is twenty feet high from the ground to the top of the figuie, seven feet higher than the Morton monument. Mr. Lorado Topt, of Chicago, the sculptor, is young American, who graduated At the Art school of Paris first in a class of sixty..

Of the work of tbe artist it may be said that it ia mnch admired by those who knew Mr. Colfsx best and an therefore best qualified to judge. The face is mon serious than Mr. Colfax's was when engaged in conversation with friend?, but the expression given is natural and dignified. The artist did not have the benefit of a piaster cast of the face, as none wss taken, aad has built it up wholly from photographic liksnesses. The drapery of the Sgun is admirable, the folds ana cnaaes giving a graos and esse that an too often absent in bronses. The garb is modern, and on that sccount required mon careful hardling than would the loose snd flowing toga of classic sculp tare. Thefigun is dressed in a Prince

The memorial stands in University park, in the. southwest corner, in the center of the broad pathway. It was placed there for the reason that there la too much folisge near the center oi the park, which would detract from the view of the statue, Where it is placed wiil allow it to be sssn^ from quite a distance, in three different directions. It will have a triangular walk of stone placed abonl it, and will be surrounded by beds of fl awers, the order proposing to arrange to have the ffdrwert properly eared tor.

f! SEASONABLE BATING?

The Late Crop of Strawharrlas— Prices of Vegetables. The strawberries in market now an the toil end of the Tennessee crop and an hardly worth the picking not to mention 10 and 15 cents a quart. One year ago to-day the home berries were on sale. The cold April this year hss set' them back and they will not be In for two weeks yet. The berries from Southern Illinois were here with home pro doctien last year. Now tbev will be here a week hence, perhaps the end of this week. The local crop is a* large this year as last, but the price ia not likely to fall allow because the home beiries will be ia demand abroad, the Illinois and southern product being oat of date thsn. In other seasonable things the market ia well supplied. Southern cabbage is qaiet at 15c a head, enenmbers 10c or two for 16c, radishes two bunches for 6c, lettuce two bunches for 5c or four for 10c, eggs two doaen for 26c and three doaen for 36e, lemons 85 and 30c a doaen, California oranges, large, 36c a doaen, coffee all the way from 28 to 35c, rhubarb two bunches for 5c, epring onions twp bunches for 6c. old onions 0Oo a peck, potatoes 26* ana 30c a peck, new tatoes 90c a peck, green beans ana peas a quarter peek, spinach 20c a peck, and bananas 30 and 36e a doaen.
