ORIGIN OF On SPRINGs-The source of
these vast supplies of oil has been much dis
cussed, and there are still some points in their
history which remain obscure. We trace their
origin TO the great forests Of antiquity, whose
shrubs were trees, and whose trees were giants
we know their greatness by the casts of their
huge leaves, which we find in our coal mines,
Submerged and subjected to certain strange
agencies, the vast rank forests turned slowly
into coal. Such change involves separa.
tion of carbon and hydrogen, sometimes as oil
or both combined. Gravity would force the
fluid TO seek the lowest level it could fpd
through everyicrack and issure, which accounts
for its being found not only below but often
remote from the coal deposits. Under other
circumstances the pressure of water from be-
meath, or the volatile nature Of gas which ao-
companies the oil, forces it up into the highest
attan2be level, thus bringing it into strata
above the coal measures-or the floor of the
coal beds. Just how, or when Or why, these
wonderful transitions took place may never be
definitely known-for in the vast crucble be-
meath our feet. fierce fires are always raging.
such change is directed by the hand of the AL
mighty chemist, with faultless wisdom, and in
ways past fBding out.
