rne urape
The grape has an interesting bo
tanical history. Its tendrills repre
sent a transformed flower stalk. Oc
casionally, the wild grape will bear
a flower, a cluster of flowers, or
even fruit, on the coil of wiry ten
drills.
Well Bores Deviate
The drilling of an oil or gas well
in a straight line is very difficult.
After reaching certain depths many
well bores deviate considerably
from the perpendicular, and some
times even run into one another.—

A dance is merely a ball on a
