ArtlaclaI Petroleum.

Ono OF the latest chemical discoveries
- method TOR the artificial produo-
ton of petroleum. The process is sim
pie ana effective. 1t is the distillation
Of animal fats and oils at tempera-
ture of three hundred to four hundred
degrees oentigrade at a pressure Of
twenty-five atmospheres in strong
iron vessel. About seventy per cent.
Of the fatty matter is transformed into
petroleum. this being ninety per cent
of the theoretical yield. The discov-
cry Is not of any commercial I'm
portance up to date as the arti-
t1cial product costs great deal
more than the natural product of
the rock, But for aught anyone is
justified In saying to the contrary all
this may be changed within the next
few years by the use of cheaper basic,
material, or because of the increased
scarcity of petroleum, or both. The
mater, in any event, is ono of great
scientific interest. 1t, tends to show
how the natural article has been pro-
duced by tho process of nature, while
1t may prove to be the starting point in
an Investigation that will lead up to
other discoveries having more prac-
teal bearing.

a shower Of Feathers.

The eminent surgeon. Sir Ashley
Cooper, was fond of practical Joke.
On one occasion he assembled the
church tower OF a village in Norfolk,
taking with him one of his mothers
pillows, and finding the wind blowing
directly to the next town. he let off
aandfuls OF feathers until he had
emptied the pillow. The local papers
reported this remarkable shower Of
feathers, and offered various conject-
ures to account for it, and the account
was copied into other papers, and was
probably received IS = perfectly natural

THE kEARSARGE OFFICERS.
A Hearing in the Case of Lieut.. Ly-
man by Secretary Herbert.

Secretary Herbert has decided to give a
hearing on Monday to the counsel of Lieut.
Lyman. lately court-martialed for neglect
of duty in connection with the loss of the
kearsarge. and to postpone action on the
case of Commander Heyerman, lately in
command of that vessel until after that
hearing. Commander Heyerman was SEN
fenced ~ the court to two years suspen-
sion from rank and duty. II is understood
that Lieut.. Lyman was sentenced to one
years suspension and that his counsel will
attempt to show that the sentence was not
justified by the evidence adduced. 1t is
rumored at the Navy Department that
Secretary Herbert, in view of the courts
recommendation for clemency, will reduce
the suspension in the case of Commander
Heyerman to one year.

coxEY AND THE UNEMPLOYED.
Some Suggestions Sent to "The STAR
on q Matter of Much Interest.

There Is much interest now in discussing
the question as to the manner of receiving
Coxey's army. and the way to deal with
such movements. A well-known lawyer. writ
ing to The Star under yesterdays date,
says:
There is pith and point in the editorial
in today's Star indicating the obvious duty
Of the Congress in reference to the Coxey
and kindred movements on the Capitol
1t must be borne in mind, however, that
while the government Of the District of Co.
icmbia Is anomalous, too great reliance
must not be placed upon the opportune ac-
ton Of Congress at this time; and 1t is.
therefore, advisable that the Commissioners
Of the District and the representative citi-
xenS should at once formulate some line of
action to meet and cope with the emergent
situation which is impending. 1t is of the
nrst importance that the first action OF the
government and the citizens should be ap-
propFiate and consistent with the emergen-
cy. The situation will be delicate, and will
require temperate but consistent treatment.
In all this Congress and the executive may
be relied upon to preserve order and en-
force the Law. But the Commissioners and
citizens must be prepared to act"
The subject has brought UP also the gen.
eral subject of the duty Of the community
toward the unemployed strangers VINO are
constantly coming to the city in search of
work One writer suggests that this out
Unemployment class be helped by means of
public subscription, and the establishment
Of ten-cent lodging house, where such
can be sheltered without suffering the deg
radiation of being forced by the Police Court
to the workhouse as dangerous tramps,"
or vagrants- There are" says this writer
scores of empty buildings all over the city
that could be fixed up with beds, etc, to
meet the wants Of distressed and strange
work seekers, and help them with rest and
fC cd for while or until they can find work
somewhere, or return home. Let The Star
pour out blessings and light on this serious
and important matter; and let lodgings be
established where plain. clean beds and a
plain, clean breakfast may be had for ten
cents; and let tickets for bed and break
