It blew in last week and in eight minutes, seeming well under control, produced 350 bbl. of oil. Then sand came with the driving liquid, cut through the valves, demolished the surmounting derrick. The well turned into the "wildest ever seen," much more powerful and dangerous than the nearby Mary Sudik, which last spring kept Oklahoma citizens alarmed for ten days (TIME, April 14). C. E.

The pressure in the vacuum tank, Dr. Claude explained, is low enough to cause the 80º surface water to boil, give off steam. When he finished his explanation, he pressed a switch, started...
