A Theory as to the Origin of Petro.
leum.
Aunales Industrieiles.

Annales Industrieiles.
Professor Mendelejef has recently
advanced the theory that petroleum
is of purely mineral origin and that
the formation Of it is going on every
day. He has, moreover, succeeded
in producing artificial petroleum by
a reaction that he describes, and he
states that 1t is impossible to detect
any difference between the natural
product and the manufactured article.
His theory is as follows: Infltra-
tons of water, reaching certain
depth, come in contact with incandes-
scent masses of car5urets of metals,
chiefly of iron, and are at once decom-
posed into oxygen and hydrogen. The
oxygen unites with the iron, while
the hydrogen seiEes on the carbon and
rises to an upper level, where the
vspors are condensed in part into
mineral oil, and the rest remains in
q state Of natural gas. The petroleum
strata are generally met with in the
vicinity Of mountains, and it may be
granted that geological upheavals
have dislocated the ground in such a
way as to permit Of the admission of
water to great depths. II the center
Of the earth contains great masses Of
metallic earburets, we may, in case
this.theory is verified, eount upon an
almost inexhaustible source Of fuel
for the day when our coal deposits
shall fail us. E

Light sad Heat. ''' 80
One Of the most beautiful applica.
tionS OF electricity which has Of late
been made Is Its use in the study Of
psychological phenomena. And why,
indeed Is not the subtitle power by
which time and space are being ami
Inflated, and human labor rendered
less irksome, the most proper agent
to assist man in the study OF the facts
Of his own consciousness? In an
elaborate article in the Nineteenth
Century, DR.. j. NICK. Cattell gives
an account OF the time measurements
of thought made by means of the line
drawn on rapidly moving surface
by a pen attached to the prong of a
tuning fork vibrating at a constant
rate by means of electricity. BY
delicate apparatus constructed on this
principle, duration Of time may be
measured to the one ten-thousandth
Of a second. The writer above named
has found that the process of thought
varies in its degree Of rapidity in diff
ferent individuals, children and old
persons thinking slower than people
Of middle age, ignorant persons
thinking more slowly than educated
persons. In this way he also found
he could measure the time it takes to
perceive, that is, the time which
passes from the moment when the
impression reaches consciousness un-
til the moment at which we know
what it is. In his own case he found
that it took 100 second to see white
light, Ito second to see a picture, 1-S
to see letter, and IL to see a word.
1t takes longer to see rare word
than common word, or word in
foreign language than in our native
tongue. 1t even takes longer to see
some letters than others. "Will
time," or time taken up in choosing,
can be measured. 1t takes 1-13 sec
ond to judge between blue and red.
To recall the name of printed word
takes Ia second, to letter 1-6 second,
to picture IA second. 1t takes less
time to remember the name of a ia
miliar word than of a letter, though
it takes less time to see the letter.
The time of remembering can be
measured. 1t takes IA second to
translate word from one language
to another when you are familiar
with both. 1t takes 1-20 second long
er to translate word from a foreign
language to your native tongue than
it does in the other direction. We
can think of the name of the next
month in half the time we can think
of the last month. 1t has been
demonstrated that sensation does moi
travel through the nerves to the brain
so fast as has been supposed. Its
speed is not much greater than sixty
miles an hour. 1907

Gen. Alexander said that at the
battle Of Manassas ne was fighting
near . farmhouse which he discover
ed to be the house of Mr.. Lewis
McCabe, Q relative Of his wife.
Before the battle was over the house
was literally riddled and the farm
ruined. Gen. Alexander never saw
Mr.. McCabe again until at APP
pomattox. While fighting there his
artillery was near a farm house, which
he found out to be the home of Mr..
McCabe. He met that gentleman a
few moments later, and he said: My
home at Manassas was ruined by bat
tie, and left it and came 200 miles
away. / thought i was clear out of
reach, but now this home is ruined. )"
It is curious that the first and last
battles of the war should each be
fought on Mr.. McCabe's farm.

CHARLES TON, W. Va, November 1S.-
The Cauvasaing of the vote of this county
was about oue-half completed to-day by
the commissioners, and the only error
found was five votes in favor Of Caldwell,
Democrat, for Attorney General Of the
State. The canvassing Of the vote will
have bsen completed by noon to morrow,
at which time the contest in the matter OF
4. B. Fleming, Democrat, for Governor,
will be begun. He served. notics yester-
day Oh the commissioners of election by
his attorney, that he would demand re-
count of the ballots in ksnswha county,
Through bis attorney he hiss served notice
on the commis'io of Putnsm and Mer-
csr counties, that he will demand recount
of ballots, az it i5 believed that the great
gain for the Republicans in those counties
indicate fraud.
The Republicans here are preparing to
contest the election in Logan county, on
grounds that undue influence was used
there by armed men going 10 the polls and
intimidsting voters. The men WHO are
alleged to bs guilty are said to be mem.

1t is q remarkable fact that nearly every

Atkinsoa was made in Republican cOun-
ty and by Republican officials. The sim
gle exception was in Lswis, where Per-
dleioa lost one vote on recount.

He lost enc in Lewis. Atkinson lost 10

Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the Par.

remarked that he, also, snd probably
others engaged in the case had received
similar letters. The intimidation Of Wit

BARRY'S PIEA.
He Says He Was Expelled Without Being
Given q Fair Trial.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, November 13.-
Thomas 3. Barry, the recently depoesd
member Of the General Executive Board,
will not talk to the general public un-
til he has besn given hearing by the
General Assembly of ths Knights Of Labor,
which he hopes to have tomorrow. In
appeal, which he hss drawn up, he gives
expression TO his desire to be heard at
once, as follows.
"76 the Officers and Members Of the General
Assembly, Greeting:
SISTERS AND BRorHERs:-I appeal to
You in the interest Of justice from the out
rsgeous sction and the decision Of the Er-
ecutive Beard 10 ex pelling me from Il order
on the following constitutional grounds:
Section $50 reads: ''Chsrges agsinst
members or officsrs cannot be made to the
local or executive COMMITTEES Of the local
assambly, bnt must be made directly to
the court Of the local assembly. in which
the accused holds membership"
Section 1S2 rssds: Officers Of the
courts, who msy be interested or implics-
ted in case, are disqualified from sitting
on the case, Their places are filled by
corresponding officers from other courts"
Section 344. Under which the general
executive board claimed 10 have acted,
gives them no authority for such action.
Section lS5 guarantees to every member
free and impartial trial before expulsion.
No charge, have ever hesn preferred
against me in the curt Of my local assem-
biz. Surely the general officers who took
despotio action without any authority in
law for SO doing, will not say that they
were not interested or implicated in the
charges that disqualified them from sitting
on the case. A fair, impartial trial have
never been given. have had no hearing,
no opportunity to defend myself I now
appeal to the general assembly for an
opportunity TO be heard before that body.
Powderly says dare not meet the rep
resenta,ives of the honest M isses assem-
bltd in convention. / sm only TOO eager
for the privilege Of meeting my slanderers
and to defend my position before the bar
of the ordor. Hoping that justice may
prevail and that may be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard, | am respectfully and
fraternally, T. B. BARRT.
