Oil for Dusty Roads in Texas.

So plentiful has oil become in the newlv dis*>vered fields of Texas that it is being used in different parts of the Stnte for inying dust on the highways. Hall a barrel a mile is sprinkled each day, expelled from carts hot. It cements the dust without creating mud, gets liurdet under heavy use, and nets like the rool of a building front which all rain rum off.

The reported sale of his picture, ”Th» Vampire,” is denied by Sir Philip Burnem Jones.
