He said, however, that he had no

Manufacture Of yaseline.

Considerable mystery has veiled the or
igin OF vaseline and similar preparations
of petroleum, especially in regard to what
the residuee are from which they are
made.f The residues in question are what
remains in the still after the burning oils
or lighter fractions are distilled off in
vacuo without cracking. Cracking is a
technical term by which is meant the proc
ess In which the heavy oils are distilled
ut a high temperature, the condensed va
por being returned again to the still. In
this process the heavy oils are split up.
and larger yield of burning oil is obtain
cd r4 ss
Distillatfon in vacuo IL carried out bv
tho use OF superheated steam instead Of
direct firing. The heavy or reduced oils
thereby obtained as n residuum are either
brought into the market at once without
further treatment, or after bone black
filtration. This product of, filtered oils is
usually combined with the manufacture
of vaseline, or pctrolatum, as it Is now
known in the United States Pharma-
cop@ia. Talsing avacuum residuum as the
raw material, this is melted and run on to
filters of fine granular well dried bone
black. The filters are either steam jack
eted or are placed in rooms heated by
steam coils To l20 degrees T. or higher.
The first runnings are colorless, and all up
to certain grade of color go to the man
ufacture of vaseline. Beyond that the
Nitrate is known as FILTERED cylinder oil'
and is used IA n lubricant exclusively. -

THE STUDY OF BIRDS.
VALUABLE COLLECTION GIVEN TO
HARVARD COLLEGE.
Gow nfr, Scott Conceived q Valuable Pa
per on tho flight of Birds at Nisbt--Dif-
ferent Methods Of Mountins--The Effect
Upon Birds OF Environment.


One OF the most valuable additions which h
oas ever been made to the Agassiz Mu-
scum OF Comparative Zoology at Cam
bridge Is collection of 5000 birds-made
by Mr.. w. Il. ID. Scost--from the United
States and West Indies. About 100 of
these nre mounted, the remainder being
In the form technically known to natural
lists as bird skins--that il, they look sim
ply like dead birds, that can be mounted
at any time. Ever since Mr.. Scott grad
uated from Harvard college In 1873 this
plan of making TN ornithological collec-
tion has been the great object of his life.
and to give this collection to the Agass;z
museum has been his desire. which is now
accomplished.
Mr.. Scott Is, through his writings, one
OF the best known collectors of birds In the
world. lie was one of the original men,
bers OF the Nutal club of Cambridge, and
his first paper before that society, entitled
"a Partial List of the Summer Birds of
Kanawha County" was the first of the
series which are now regularly published
by the society. His Grst work, and one
that attracted attention in the whole or
astrological world, rs well as the atten-
tion OF astronomers, was brought about
by what seems now to be singular coin
cidence. happening TO be nt one time In
the observatory connected with Princeton
college, he was invited to look through
the telescope nt the moon. While doing
20, he noticed whnt secmed TO be a num-
Der OF small objects fitting across the lu-
minous disk. lie asked what they were
and was Informed that IL was n common
occurrence 10 SEQ these birds flying across
the range of the telescope. So common was
1t, In fact, TINT the astronomers had paid
no attention to thc matter, but OF course
such an occurrence invited the attention
OF man the main object OF whose life was
the Observance Of every point pertaining
to birds and bird life.
Hohad heard time and again farmers and
tackwcodEmen speak Of the sound of birds
flying by night, and here was an actual
proof OF the feet, rs we'll as n chance 10
make mathematical calculation on the
subject, for, upon examination OF the sub
ject, IL was found that, given the focal
length OF the lens and the other data
which the astronomer could furnish, the
fight OF the birds could be determined
with some degree OF accuracy. And not
only this, but the kind of bird could be
determined, because, as every one knows.
ench bird has it's own peculiar method of /
flight, which oould readily he determined
against the bright disk OF the moon through /
. telescope.
Tho final result Of this circumstance was

'eted into nearly every modern language,
