ROCK OIL AS FUEL.
There Has neen "a Great Increase I'm
It's Utilization in Eng-
land OF Late.

During the last year the enormous
increase in the use in England of rock
oil as fuel has about silenced the alarm
ist who for many years past has
prophesied time, not so very distant
when the coal mines in that country
would be exhausted. 1t Is not claimed
that the heavy draw ON the coal supply
is greatly lessened, but il is argued
that Il will be before very long. Last
month the matter was under discussion
before the Society of Arts in London
and one Of the papers read on the oc-
casion gave an account of the present
position of liquid fuel, as the phrase is
over there, in England and other coun-
tries In England oil as fuel is in use
on the Great Eastern railway, and IL ia
said the results have proved satisfac-
tory. II has also found more or less
use in the Russian, German and Italian
navies and on one or two foreign rail
ways. When the oil fields of Dutch
Borneo were first opened up the oil
was not allowed to be carried in bulk
through the Suez canal and there was
not q single port at which obstacles
were not placed in the way of its intro
duction. Now vessels carrying 6,50o
tons and capable of discharging over
500 tons Of oil per hour pass through the
canal regularly. The impediments
placed in the way of its discharge have
been done away with, as experience has
shown that there is no real danger
Several advantages are claimed for the
use of oil as fuel TO replace coal, the
chief being the convenience of storage
the reduction of labor in storing ane
rapidity of discharge. The alternate
contraction and expansion of the fir
bars and steam tubes, 'mavoidabl
when coal is used as fuel,,is said TO b.

that the candidates for sheriff and pro-
thonotary should be selected by the
Democrats and that the register and

In the matter Of judge there will be
no thought of any candidate other than
Judge Hemphill
The prospects being promising for
the election of the ticket make the
scramble for a place on it very lively.
For sheriff the names mentioned are r.
IP. Shoemaker, Of Parkerburg; Samuel
Fetters, of East Whiteland; for clerk
Of the courts, R. N. Thomas, Of West
Chester; for prothonotary, Maxwell
Clover, Of Upper Uwchlan; for treas
