ARTIFICIAL PETROLEUM.
New Process by Which it can be
Produced Cheaply.

VsO" ANSOSS ny AANA ~ N1A w
Produced Cheaply.
From China, Glass and Lamps.
1t is not perhaps generally
known that petroleum can now be
produced artificially.
The process is very simple, being
the distillatiOn, in a strong iron
vessel, under pressure of twenty
five atmosphere, of the animal
fats and oils at a temperature of
300 degrees c. Under favorable
conditions 20 per cent of the fatty
oil is transformed into petroleum,
which is 80 per cent Of the theOreti-
cal yield. The product thus obtain
ed has been found to be in every
particular identical with natural
petroleum. 1t is suggested that,
with notifications of conditions
in the process, oils Of different
grades may be produced.
1t is premature to predict the
changes in the petroleum industry,
or to say what bearing this discOv-
cry may have. AT present it GER
tainly appears to be of little prac-
tical importance, yet it is not the
let an interesting fact, and one per-
haps not to be lost sight Of. The
discovery will doubtless be further
developed, and it is not improba-
BILE that it may become of COM
merCial Importance.
II, as is claimed, 20 per cent of
the animal oil is convertible into a
good petroleum, it would appear
that Degras oil, which sells at &c
per gallon, could prOfitably be con-
verified into superior grade of pc.
troleum, selling, say, at u. 1t
would be no more remarkable than
many other transmutation, if at
some future time this discovery
should find an important place in
the production Of lubricants and
Illuminating oils.

A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
womanhOod. Following is an instance: "Our
daughter Blanche, now Is years of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such a condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons. In fact, we feared st. Vitus dance, and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible affection. We
had employed ph- ieians, but sne received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but IS pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Neryne she now
weighs l06 pounds; her nervousness and symp-
toms of St. Vitus dance are entirely gone, she
attends school regularly and studies with com
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
OF her arm, her appetite is splendid, and 10
money could procure for our daughter the health
DR.. Miles Nervine has brought her.
When my brother recommended the remedy
] had no faith in patent medicines. and would
not listen to him, but as last resort he sent rs
a bottle, we began giving it 10 Blanche, and the
effect was almost immediate. Mrs. X. 4

FADs OF ENGLISH WOMEN.
At Present One is an Enormous CHG
non and the other is "a Cane.

From the New York Sun.
There are two fashions very largely, al
most universally. affected by English wo-
men just now that 1 don't think will be
copied over here, even by the most pro-
nounced faddist," remarked a woman Just
back from long stay in England. They
are the chignon and the walking cane.
The fashionable couture is hideous, nay,
revolving, and I'm sorry 10 say IL is affected
by about eight in ten English women. 1t is
simply a return to the most extreme style
of the old chignon, an immense wad OF
hair or imitation of one, stuck straight out
from the back of the head. In its extreme
development II is often fully as large as the
head which II disfigures. Sometimes you
see woman who aims to be ultra fashion,
able wearing two of these monstrosities,
one atop of the other, and maybe a little
sailor hat perched atop of the wad, but not
covering her head at ALL The only i'm
provement over the old chignon is that the
present one is hair-covered wire frame
instead of a swab of hair. The vulgar peo-
pie call 1T a bun In a trip around tie
continent / didn't see a single 'bun,' OK
cept on travelling English women. 1t is
purely English, and likely to remain so.
THE inevitable accompaniment of the
chignon is the walking cane, and il was to
me the oldest thing in the world when
arrived in England in the spring 20 see
every woman walking with regular mans
cane. The heavy fashionables carry heavy
canes, just as our 'Chollies do. i Travelled
all round England, to all the big towns ard
the fashionable watering places, and every
where the cane was most conspicuous.
But there's a reason for the cane, and,
absurd as II is. IT is a point for the cane
above the chignon, for the latter is without
any excuse whatever. Queen Victoria Is
compelled to use a walking cane whenever
she moves about, and 1t is in compliment to
her majesty-or from a silly apng of roy
atty, which you lkc-that the English wo-
man carries cane. You remember, of
course, the Alexandra limp which nearly
every English woman affected some years
ago, and which had its origin In lame
ness OF the Princess of Wales. 1t Is in just
such ways that many of the fashionable
absurdities of Europe originate. But heav-
en- forfend US from the chignon and tie
cane"
