people in that proportion DO secure new inventions
and great diseovries Let the citizen reflect then while
enjoying the light othe lard oil that the saving he effects

incentive TO secure and maintain comprehen

Chevrue French chemist, in some Investigations
animal fat, discovered that ii composed OF
principles which he gave the elaine sfeagin
found that they could easily be separated They
composed hydrogen and oxygen; and wherever
carbon predominates in animal OIL may be assured
of article capable OF high degree of luminous power
curious experiment is related by Bernard which shows
that fat may be made arti6ciay; mixing together
of carbonic acid ten carburetted hy
drogen, and twenty of by drogen, and transmitting the

Lard Oil, 7eO il 40 Q SIS
spermaceti, 70 O5 iI6 50
We heard the fear expressed that the lard oil will
not stand the winter, will retain its uidy in cold
weather This is very idle fear Sperm oil is made in
the same way as the lard oil II is composed of elaine and
sean and they separated by pressure upon bibuous
paper which retains the elaine BY the procesa lard
oil is obtained and winerstraned lard oil will stand the
cold weather just well wnter.strained sperm oil.
The success OF this discovery is secure beyond all chance
and the and swine eli Kentucky will prove greater
sources OF wealth to her citizens than would the mines of
Potosi.
