The Origin Of Petroleum-A New
Theory.

There have been great many theories ac-
counting for the existence of petroleum in the
box, lis Of the earth, all of them more or less in
genious and apparently correct deductions from the
results of research, but inquiry has generally
shown their ialsty. The last theory has show OF
reason on its side, and is presented by contribu
tor % the Pittsburg Commerci !. He says that all
gcologists agree that our bituminous coal has been
formed from tfe prostra ted forests of age long
past. We find that, by putting this bi,uminous
coal in retort, we can obtain the same general
character of product rs by stalking well at Oil
City. What is left In the Ietort, alter The oil is
taken out, is species of coke.
Arguing from these well known and acknowl-
edg cd facts, he arrives at the conc usion that what
nun has attempted to 90 in a cast-iron retort, an
all wise Providence has much more cffectually done
by the operations of His laws in nature; ana tina
the anthracite coal fields in our own lands, and
other lands, are simply what remain in this labora
tory of nature, after, by the application of heat be-
low and pressure above, the oil and gases have
been driven elsewhere.
The oil thus pressed out has trickled through
the creyices of the rocks below these, how anthra
cite, but once bituminous coal fields, and we find
|; to-day in the pools and crevices of our dileren,
oil regions. The antbruc:te coal which remains
answers to our coke. We use it for the same pur-
pose, for melting ores in furnaces, and for melt
ing iron in foundry oupolas. the great difference
being that it is vastly superior in quality, fact
not to be wondered at when VIC remember the
laboratory in which it was made and the All seeing
Eye that superntended its production This
thing is worthy Of attention, not only because il
may unveil the mysteries of the chemistry of the
carh but also because =, correct. it will solve oae
or two other interesting questions concerning in
ternal heat, &C., which will 50 much advance the
cause of science.

has the following:
The lilaos are beginning to blossom.
This species of the vegetable kingdom
seems to have lost its reckoning, and has
thus put forth flowers at an unusual sea-
son. As the storms of winter are Just
upon US, the fragrance of flowers seems
cut of place but, nevertheless, we well
come them with the greatest pleasure.
This is indeed a glorious climate with
rain), mild, balmy, and at this season of
the year exceedingly healthy. Under the
shade of the blooming lilac and the bud
ding roses, We can look at the snow-capped
mountains, and feel little of the icy rigors
of winter. Fruit trees in this vicinity have
a way OF bearing two crops year. Some
time after gathering the first crop of ap-
Piles from a tree in our yard, we noticed
the tree in full bloom, and now the young
apples are about the size of walnuts.
