chemical properties identical with petrole-

duces kerosene. From no other known
substance has crude oil been obtained that
I am aware Of. Hence, l concluded that at
some time, immense beds Of camel have
been subjected to intense internal fire, and
being condensed beneath the hills, oil is the
inevitable product. Here it has been i'm
prisoned beneath the rocks, awaiting the
time of its release. There are no coal beds
at present in these regions-5oring to the
depth of 800 or 1000 feet does not find it.
If it were ever here, It has been destroyed
by internal fires. Away from this region
