When We consider that all the oil Is carried

The appearance Of this oil in its crude state
Is as tL1n as water, Ind Of a reddish-brown

per c4nt oti it. original elements, and becomes
as pure and 1impid rs water, aud as free from
tha explosive element as whale oil.
As all tlluminator, the refined oil affords
steady, clear light, almost equal to gas in bril-
Pint in ten or twelve hours, will give light
equal to six common candles, and far mora
brilliant thnn sperm oil will afford. 1t is clean
and not grclsy IN its uature It has slight

A recent number OF The London Times speaks

article in the history Of recent discoveries that
has 50 readily found an unlimited market.
Some Of the Land ownezs around Titusville
have already achieved Incomes Of $100, 900 per

a. to the origin Of this oil there arc many
theories and conieetures. Its geological POSI-
ton IL beneath the bituminons coal-beds, and
n''oye the anthracite The pet4olum is prob
ably derived from the natural separation Of the
bituninous from the catbonaceous portion Of
the coal, which oozing upward from faults and
assures In the coal seam, dralns off between
the strnta, mud follows the inclination OF the
1at!,r, until it reaches the surface ip some de-

ooziug, over extended surfaces, yields 4 larte
supply Of liquid. and it ia supposed that any

stratum Of PETROLEUM, will obtain IN abundant
and constant yield.
Similar oils have been obtained In Canadn,
in Kentucky, aud in Ohio. In the Burmese
Empire similar wells exist, from which the oil

hundred wells over space Of some twenty
square miles, which are the properly Of the
