CHEMICAL QUALITIES.

1t Is q general rule with few excep-
tions that the harder the rock the
greyer the color of the sand, the light
er colored the oil, the smaller the we'll
and the better its staying qualities.
When first distilled refined oil has
an acid reaction, is water white to O.
blush shade; the lowest grade is 100
degrees flash test. That which we
generally get is 100 to $50 degrees while
headlight runs to 800 degrees. Clean
copper remains untounched by refined
oil as it contains no oxygen. Clean
potassium remains bright in it. strong
sulphur acid decomposes and destroys
it. nitric acid changes it as it does other
oils to a yellow oily iiued hydrochlorlc
and acetc acid do not affect 1t at all,
neither does litharge or other metallic
oxides nor by hydrates of potassa, soda
or lime, nor bi-chloride Of culcium or
many other salts. 1t Is nearly insoluble
in pure alcohol only to 8 per cent.
being dissolved, but either has the pow
er of completely dissolving it. and IL
the ether is evaporated it at once as
sumes its former appearance.
Besides the above grades of oil there
are produced from crude petroleum
naphtha, rhlgoline, an anarsthelic,
parafine wax, cosmoline or vasaline,
tar and analine dyes besides a neutral
oil that resembles sweet Oil and Is
called alboline.

acting upon the rocks on the surface
and forming carbonates with soda pot
ash lime and MAGNETISM set free. These
are carried down as carbonates to
the sea, where the carbonate decom-
poses the chloride of calcium OF its
waters and forms common salt and
carbonate Of lime. This series Of ac-
tion Is the source of the salt of the
sea Of clays and limestone. Organic
living beings do not generate the car
Donate of lime, but appropriate 1t
when formed for them by chemical
reactions; and thus great portions of
our limestone rocks are made up Of
fossil remains. In volume of lime
stone there is separated and con-
densed from the air large amount
of carbonic acid gas. The early at
mosphere was therefore very dense
and unfit for the sustenance Of the
higher forms of life. until by far the
greater portion Of this gas had been
removed by thief ormation of the car
Donate of lime, and vegetable matter
now constituting petroleum"
PRACTICAL LESSONS.
In the brief time allotted to this pa
per have only been able to touch
lightly on this formation feature Of
petroleum, but the drill has proven
that many Of the above theories do not
hold true and that geologists Of great
regulations have been put right by its
practical tests.
1t Is assumed that for every sixty
feet we enter the earth towards its
center there Is an increase of one de-
gree of heat. but instances have oc-
Cured in which pellets of ice have been
blown from the bottom of well 600
feet deep, and by the thermometer the
temperature has been found in oil COM
ing to the surface at or below the freeZ-
ing point. and I have often found by
dipping the fingers into such oil that
it was exceedingly cold.
A very important question here arises,
Does the chemical laboratory of nature
reproduce the oil as 1t is removed, or
do we exhaust the supply? There are
wells still pumping that have continu-
ously supplied oil for upward of twen-
ty-five years, while others are worth
less after flowing or pumping for q
brief period A careful estimate of it's
various wells in different locations a
few years ago by the Forest Oil COM
pany puts the cost Of production at an
average of IS cents per barrel. There
Is considerable expense connected with
keeping a well in working order, as
parafine wax collects around the in
terror of its tubing, frequently requir-
ing that 1t be pulled out and cleaned.
If allowed to stop for few weeks the
gether, as If the oil found other means
Of exit.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-President War.
ner, of the American Bimetallic union,
Monday night issued an address "Tc
the friends of bimetallism in the United
| States"
He reviews the situation from a point
of view favorable to free coinage and
says the question should be carefully
studied by every voter before he casts
his ballot This can not be done, .
says the address, through the medium
of ordinary daily newspapers. for as g
rule they are filed with catch phrases
and appeals to special interest that are
simply intended to prejudice and mis-.
lead"
SPY far the best method of ditfusing
education upon this subject" declares
the address, lis through the medium OF
clubs and leagues or unions. Such or.
ganizations bring the voters together
in compact bodies and enable them to
collectively obtain at nominal rates the
very best literature eXtant. This in
turn leads to discussions, not only by
speakers from the platform out be-
tween individuals, AS result the chaff
is separated from the solid grain, the
essential and material matter is sifted
cut of great mass that really does
not touch the essence of the question
at all. The great contest is now on
and it can only be settled at the polls
To the end that the decision may be
right, the American Bimetallic union
strongly urges the formation of silver
clubs and leagues in every state, coun.
ty, city, town and school district in the
union"
President Warner pledges his organ.
ization to aid in the work of organiza.
tion and education to the best of its
ability, providing free such literature
as can be so furnished and all that nee.
essarily involves expense will be pro.
vided at cost.

The scaling down must take in .200,-
600 shareholders in building and loan

There are in force in the United States
100000 life insurance policies repre-
senting the immense sum of So, 1866, 1861

legislate away half the value of their
policies if the scaling down process is to
be predetermined by compromise. The
beneficiaries of benevolent and acci-

loss.
The vast army of wage earners in the
