Companies furnish for oil may lie gained from
The fact that their monthly expense for this lu-
bricating md illuminating agent, rauges from
twelve to- fifteen hundred dollars, or from
twelve to fifteen thousand dollars per annum.

pecially in co!d weather. rs inferior qualities
would freeze so1id.. The oil for lubricating is
frequently compound of low whale and rosin

treing here thus demand an immense amount Of
oil. It is no wonder the whales hAye got dis
couragc1. nor is it wonderful that our house
keepers hare been driven into filling their lamp:
with something else, IL the demand Of the rail
road companies varies from two to four barrels
each pcr day.
