Use of Petroleum Increasing.

It is an interesting fact that the first
use to which petroleum was put in Eng
land was not that of luminant. It's
chemical composition rendered it most
useful medium for preserving substances
which have a strong affinity for oxygen.
Chemists employed it in preserving POI
tassium and metals possessed of kindred
qualities. Hot naphtha, it was discov-
cred, dissolved phosphorus and sulphur,
and deposited them on cooling It was
found to be, too, an excellent solvent for
gutta percha, caoutchouc, camphor,
fatty and resinous bodies generally, and
hence it was extensively used in the arts
for these purposes. Its great use, how
ever, is as source of artificial light, and
notwithstanding the present use of coal
gas and electric lighting the employ
ment of petroleum for this purpose still
increases. Chambers Journal

VIII Not Stay Down

The engineers on the Fairhaven and
Southern railroad in Oregon have struck
another natural phenomenon only Sec
ond to ''sthe DEVILS Breadpan." The
gap of five miles in the track two miles
beyond the boundary is a low, swampy
place, which it was found necessary. to
pile. A forty foot pile was driven right
into the swamp, and then another was
driven over it. But the second pile
would not stay down. AS soon as the
driver stopped pounding the pile began
to rise again. Pound as they would the
workmen could not make that pile stay
down, for at every blow it seemed to
cry '.resurgam," and rose again as soon
as the pounding ceased. Singleton Cali
Courier.

Tom Jones, Rabbi Ranch.

Tom Jones, worthy colored man,
living near. the Northeastern depot in
Athens has domesticated large colony
of the old field gray rabbits. Tom has
about twenty-five breeders, and says
that rabbits are raised as easily as chick
ems. They run at large in the yard, and
become as tame as house cats, They in.
crease very fast, and sell readily at ten
cents each for pets or cooking purposes.
There are always orders ahead for them.
They grow very fast, and from one pair
he can raise more rabbits in year than
the best hen will raise chickens. Allan.
