Au oil man sinking a well for petroleum near Delta. Colorado (U.S.A.), received a surprise when, the drill tapptd a great underground store of carbon dioxide gas instead. The unexpected discovery was lucky. AVith the installation of compressing machinery, the gas is now solidified by pressure and chilling into the “dry ice” of commerce, and tho output of the well is about GO tons daily. So nearly pure is the ‘‘dry ice” from this shaft that a chunk of the snowy substance may be dropped into a glass of water to produce a bubbling, carbonated beverage at borne without the addition of any other ingredient except that of the desired flavoring.
