PETROLEUM AND iT> pRODCCT>s
An Exhibition of Its Numerous and Val
uable CSeS-Fr0m the RetinerieS.

The people Of the whole country
are deeply interested in the de-
velopment of petroleum, and can
hardly realize how extensively
used are its various products
throughout the world. We are
inclined 10 think that we have not
vet discovered the full value and
extracted all the powers of our
great staple. Itmay be doubted
Whether there has ever been a
more complete exhibit Of the
numerous and valuable uses to
which petroleum is put than has
been presented during the past
week in the scientific department
of the loan exhibition held IN
Titusville, Pa.
From the various samples OF
crude petroleum exhibited an ac-
curate knowledge of the charac-
teristics of the products of each
oil field and oil producing rock in
the country can be obtained, from
the light amber colored oil of the
Gordon CAN'T wells to the black
oil of the Pleasantville field.
There are also samples Of totally
different crude oils produced in
Wyoming and Russia. Included
in this part Of the collection are
also samples of sand rock interest
ing to all producers. Followlg
the samples Of crude oils are the
common and most noted products
of our local refneries-the gaso-
lines so degrees gravity and
above, and the deodorized naph-
thas used for making gas for fuel
GAS stoves and various other pur-
poses. Then the refined petro-
leum and burning oils, including
an elegant sample of water-white
oil, $50 degrees fire test, clear as
crystal and in very truth white
and brilliant as spring water.
Then follow the heavier pro-
ducts, used principally for lubri-
eating machinery and kindred
purposes, and here the display
opens up to very large extent
embracing samples of worldwide
reputation and of great value
cylinder, engine and car oils,
special lubricants for special
work, torch and miners Ill, wool
oils of very fine quality, neutral
oils, tasteless, odorless and bloom
less. leather oils, filtered oils and
cylinder stock Of 100 degrees fire
test; sewing machine oils, car and
axle grease: also fine lot OF sam
pies of specialties, manufactured
under the patent vacuum process,
including 600 degrees cylinder
and harness oils; parafhne wax,
the crude scale, hard refined, OF
which there are several beautiful
samples, hoof ointments, shoe
blacking, etc, ETC., and lastly a
fine display Of goods, including
oaps, pomade, cold cream, cam.
phor-ice, and exceedingly fine and

OF land and water.

The above by Prof. Schectz is most
excellent outline for the study OF geog-
raphy. 1t is the natural and logical
way for the introduction of the subject
Geography, as generally taught, is com
menced where it should end, and ends
where it should commence. Our text
books commence the child with the un-
known and incomprehensible, and it is
only after long time that it begins tc
see the light. How much more simple
and natural would it be to commence in
the manner suggested above. Begin al
home and let our investigations 60 out

1t is wonderful how little 4 great
many know about the geography OF

Every school to carry out the eX-
cellent plan of Prof. Scheetz should have
4 map OF the county and State.

Steam Power

which we put in last spring:
1t is a small beginning, and
should rot be despised. The
first steam printing ever done
in Ncwberry was in our estab-
lishment, and it's still going
on. You know that steam
power is much more satlsfdc-
tory than hand power in any
enterprise where power is to
be used. Our power is pro-
duced by a novel piece OF
mechanism in the shape Of an
engine no bigger than a stove.
Come in and see it in opera
tion. We take delight in
seeing You about as we'll as
skiing you to
and anything else you need
that we have not mentioned.

THE BIuzA1D.

1--WE know it now If we never did be-
fore, "remarks the Newton Republican,
"that we mayhave cyclones in Kansas
in the latter part Of May and early in
June, and that we are liable to have
billiards. In January.
There is some comfort in knowing
what to expect. After the end of June
there is scarcely possibility Of a
'twister' in this State; and when we
are through with January we may feel
reasonably assure ed that we are through
with billiards.
1t Is sometimes asked il we do not
have cyclones oftener than formerly.
There is no evidence to show that we
do. But as to billiards, we are inclined
to think that we are passing through q
cold wave that has lasted now for
several years. Some years ago there
was q Kansas winter when there were
but two days when the mercury went
below zero. Within the last six years
we have had two winters when there
were sixteen zero days, and one when
the thermometer went to zero and be.
low on twenty. one days.
A Kansas blizzard is, however, less
terrible than 1t looks. The same wind
and much greater cold would not be
regarded In q wooded or mountainous
country. The vast expanse of gray
sky, the immense stretch of land. gray
and white; the apparent disappearance
of groves and lines of trees, and the
drifting snow that rushes in o cloud
next the ground, like the smoke of .
prairie fire, and the snow flakes that
fly horizontally through the air, so that
it is impossible to tell whether they
come from the sky or from Labradore,
all these with wind which boOms like
the icy waves of the polar seas, conspire
to make very impressive, and well
nigh terrific spectacle, and yet when
the pedestrian turns his back to the
wind he is astonished to find it 30
warm, and on consulting q thermome-
ter to discover that it is only or 9 de-
grees below zero.
Contrasted with the Dakota article
the Kansas blizzard is a mild affair.
The coolest maximum average attain
ed in twenty years is IL degrees below
zero, which is positively sultry COM
pared with the 80 and 40 degrees which
is the common reading in Minnesota
and Wisconsin and the great North
west generally. Yet men manage to
survive in those regions; how much
more fortunate are we who live in
Kansas"
