The Source of Petroleum.

The theory that the remains of ami
mails form the raw materials from
which petroleum is formed by nature
is still held by some prominent scien-
fists; and, as to the manner in which
the organic substances of those ami
mails became decomposed. DR.. Engler
sets forth as primary starting point
the fact that such substance consists
essentially of nitrogenated material
and fat, the former easily decomposed,
the latter very staple, as has been
well known for long time, and dem
onstrated by exact Investigations, ex-
amples in proof being the wax of
cadavers in old graves, the fat in the
bones OF mammals thousands of years
old, and the fat on the bottom of the
ocean recently found. Whether, and
how, the fat was decomposed in this
long period by the water splitting up
glycerol and forming the free acid
for instance, the fat in the bones of
mammals-can not be answered, but
both, fat as well as the fatty acids.
form petroleum when distilled under
pressure. One of the many possibili-
ties cited by DR.. Engler, by which the
mechanical process of the transmuta-
ton of fat into petroleum may have
taken place, is that remains of the
character IN question, wrapped in
mud, and transported by the currents
of the ocean easily accumulate, and,
later on, under the pressure of sedi-
me1tary layers or strata-perhaps I'M
der the influence of heat, too-are
transformed into petroleum.

the tops of mountains and water is
taken more deeply into the surface OF
the terrestrial crust, the formation of
hydrated minerals being everywhere
manifested In view of all this, the
conclusion is regarded as inevitable
that, since all the water which has
ever existed may still exist in the form
of perpetual ice, snow, hydrated min
erals, etc, the waters of all oceans
have consequently been gradually dis
appearing, and that the lowering of
the oceans is going on even at the
