Prtrolcnn az Fueh

Some oftke thousands who lost for
tunes in the oil s~Deculations of two or
three years ago, and still holding oil
producing property which the low
price of oil has rendered almost value
less for a year past, may take courage
from n recent discovery likely to widen
the field Of its consumption. 1t is
stated by a Mr.. Payne that crude pc
troleum has been used for several
weeks past as fuel to generate steam in
boilers and engines at Dennis Run,
Warren county, Pa, in q very prima-
tive but successfulmanner. The modus
operdndi is as follows: A barrel Is
oiled with crude petroleum as 1t comes
from tho vel and, set upon end, to
which is attached a half inch iron pipe
running say 20 or 80 feet into the fire.
place OIL furnace, and perforated with
small holes. A very small pipe leads
from the dome or crown Of the boiler
into the supply pipe, conveying dry
steam into 1t. The oil is then turned
ON by mean of throttle-valve, asis also
the supply ofsteam, and q very small
quantity allowed to run. A light Is
then applied, and the gas from the oil
instantly takes fire, As the worm IN
the fireplace becomes heated, and the
supply ofoil IS increased just sufficient
to allow of its combustion. 1t is said
that the whole of the apparatus nee
essary can be furnished for the trihing
expense often dollars, and that with
proper attention on the part of the
engineer IN the supply of oil, one bar
rel of forty-two gallons IS sufficient to
run a ten.horse power engine for
twenty-four hours. Mr.. Payne is con-
hdent that no danger can arise from
it. use. lfthis shall prove, as a gener-
ator ofsteam, as cheap and safe in use
as here stated, there is hope that the
vast amount of oil known to exist in
the western part of pennsylvania may
become the source of wealth anticlpa.
ted at tho time Of its dlcovery. It's
less bulky and more portable charac-
ter are considerations in its favor,
other things being equal, Of much mo-
ment. 1t may be we'll to say in addi-
ton to the above that an experiment
has been made by the United States
gun boat Palos, with no other change
IN her machinery than a few very
simple devices for burning petroleum
and with a high degree ofsucess. The
steam generating powers of her boilers
were so greatly augmented as to get
speed of fourteen knots an hour out of
the boat, instead Of eight knots with
coal. Four barrels Of oil were found
to do as much service as eight tons of
coal fuel.

Obscenity in the Ruins OF POM
peli.

There IS one matter in relation to
Pompen that is seldom touched on by
writers; and which l dare nottouch too
closely, to-wit: The horrible deprav-
ity Of the Pompeians, as illustrated
by the frescoes, mosaics, sculptors aud
bronze statues that are found. Hun.
dreds of these vile objects have been
carried away TO the museum IN Naples,
and put IN n room which no woman is
allowed to visit; but there are still
houses in Pompeii that are kept locked,
and others that have such sculptors
over the doors on the outside that the
guides hurry past them when there
are women IN the party. Even in pri-
Vate houses there are scores offrescoes
-magnlticentlY executed, too-whIch
n would dare to visit only in COM
pany with his nearest and dearest
friends, if ladies, and IN other houses
pictures aud statues than which none
can imagine any thing worse. I can
not understand why the writer's on
these matters have been 80 anxious to
conceal the faults of the ancierts. 1t
is a fact which deserves to be gener-
ally known. Great God! what o pic
ture of corruption IN Imperial Romo
is revealed to one who looks into
Pompeii with anythinglike ~thourough-
ness. The-very stone Of the door post
tells a tale moro damnable than was
ever invented by modern thought.
Solom was clean and Gomorrah was
pure, compared with Pompen. Where
was ever a people on earth, before or
since Pompcii, that advertised the
ways that lead down to help by sculp-
lures placed in the open light OF the
Etreets2 -
"Out, damned spot" cried the still
Infant genius Of modern civilization
and Christianity, az he looked IN upon
Pompeii, and Vesuvius responded to
the command and sent his consuming
fires to do the work. Chicago Tribune
