The Petroleum Industry.

The early history of petroleum is curious.
Known and employed for burning from
remote antiquity in the Old World, no pro
cess for its purlication had been devised,
and it was therefore at best but an indit-
ferent and cheaper substitute for animal
and vegetable oils. The first attempts to
refine it for commercial purposes are be
licved to have been made by Young. Of
GlaSwgow, in 1917, ON petroleum got from
Dcrbyshrc, in England, from which he pre-
pared lubricatmg OIL and it was the
exhaustion Of tins supply which led him to
improve the methods for the extraction Of
oils from coal.
Meanwhile in the United States, the cX-
iStcnce of sources of mineral oil had been
known to the Indians of New York and
Pennsylvania, who priced it as a medicine,
| for which purpose it became familiar to the
early European colonists under the name Of
Scnccaoil. 1t appeared to have been an
object Of rcscarch'to the abori@incS ages
ago. since in the oil regions of Western
| Pennsylvania are found pits or wells aI-
parrntly dug for the purpose Of collecting
| the oil, carefully timhcrcd, and atioriing
| from the growth Of the forest upon the site
evidences of an antiquity Of from 300 to
| l000 years. A~ early as 1919, in boring for
brine on the Muskinglm River, in Ohio,
| from e depth of 100 feet were obtained large
| quantities Of mineral oil. which was a
source of great annoyance to the salt
makers. At thi. time attempts were made
to use the oil for illumination, but. from the
want Of proper lamps it was not found Ia
be adapted to til" purpose. In lNji the
successful manufacture Of oils from coal
caused attention to be drawn to the pos
~ihlity OF utilizing thco, native oils and tn,
Pennsylvania OIL Company was formed fol
the purpose of manufacturing the prtro
leum found at oil Creek. in Ncnangc
County, Pennsylvania. The chemical in
vr>tigation Of the material was committed
to Professor B. Sillman. jun, and his re-
port to the company, which appeared il
