Stephen A. Douglas, .'that the remains
Of my father, reposing there in that

He died in 1861, just q month before the
first battle Of Bull Run. His body was
embalmed at that time, put in an air
tight casket, which was again inclosed in
an iron coffin. When the monument was
erected in his honor in 1866 the iron case
on top of the glass Cover over his face
was removed and his features were as
lifelike and unchanged as ever. In 1880,
nineteen years after his death, the air
tight casket was inclosed in zinc coffin,
which in turn was put into a marble
sarcophagus, in which it still rests. On
that occasion again the face was exposed
to view. 1t had not changed a particle.

decay, and physician residing in the
neighborhood Of the monument tells me
that the body, II not unduly disturbed

Tho Petroleum Producing Strata.

Oil producing strata do not always be-
long to the same geological period. In
Kentucky and Tennessee tile petroleum
is furnished by the lower silurian; that
is, by the most ancient stratified rocks.
In Upper Canada it is found in the lower
Devonian, and in Pennsylvania in tho
upper Devonian. The springs Of western
Virginia flow from the upper carbonifer-
GUS strata. In Connecticut and North
Carolina coal oil is found in the trias, in
Colorado and Utah in the lignites of the
cretaceous formation, while the oil pro-
ducing regions of California belong to
the tertiary period. 1t is q remarkable
fact that most of the deposits of the
ancient world exist in comparatively re-
cent tertiary formations, as for instance
those of the oil impregnated sands of
Alsace, OF the south of France, and of
AbruZzia and Emilia in Italy, There
are numerous deposits in Galicia and the
Danubian provinces similarly placed,
while the strata that contain those OF
the Crimea, the Caucasus and the island
Of Taman are of nearly the same geolog
ical epoch. 1t is q fact to be noted that
the oils coming from the greatest deptl
are Of the best quality, those produced
from nearer the surface of the eartl
seeming to have lost some of their VIOLA

posed an innovation to eliminate from
French carom billiards the possibility
Of rail play. This innovation was the
use of only two balls on the table, the
count being effected by a kiss after
the first contact of the cue and objec,
balls. Inquiry in New York billiard
rooms revealed the fact that the twc
ball kiss game that the foreigners ap'
pear to think now has been known
there for nine years, although it i.
played so seldom that nearly every
