constitute an admirable object les
son as to the composite character of
mineral oil.
Now, all of the products thus de-
rived from petroleum by artificial dis
tillatiOn are found in natures labor
atOry; there are naphthas and heavier
oils mineral tars and wakes, and hard
mineral hydrocarbons. 1t is a current
belief that in nature these products re-
suit from the distillation Of petroleum.
Source of Petroleum.
You ask from what source and in
what manner the petroleum itself is
produced. Any reply to such a query
is largely founded on theory. 1t was
once held that petroleum is a product
Of coal Oscillation, hence the origin Of
the common name coal OIL This con-
ceptiOn arose from the marked similar
ity between the natural occurrences
and the substances produced from coal
by the chemist. It is objected to on
the ground that there appears to be
no necessary ASSOCIATION of coal and
coal oil in nature, and that the rocks
in which petroleum occurs are not such
as bear evidence Of intense heat action.
The vegetable origin of coal is no
longer matter Of serious question, and
as well assured. Biologists generally
accept the theory that coal and its
series of products resulted from the
chemical change of vegetable matter
under proper conditions of heat and
pressure and in the presence of fresh
water, while the petroleum products are
due to chemical change Of organic
matter, both vegetable and animal. in
the presence Of salt water. This view
respecting petroleum would explain the
common association Of oil and salt
water. The organic matter from
which the petroleum is produced is
probably to be found in the fOssilifeT-
Gus rock containing the bodies of ami
mails an, plants as accumulated in the
seas Of bygOne days"
Regarding the theory that petroleum
originated from decaying fish, the
professor said:
Some authorities maintain the claim
that fossil fish yield large amounts Of
petroleum. This is probably rue where
such fish have been accumulated in
sufficient quantity. A recent discovery
indicates that even the microscopic

WHERE IS BOOTHS BODY?
pr. George Porter Says He Helped Te
 Secretly Bury 1t.

New York, February 20.-Former Dis trct Attorney Asa Bird Gardner and Judge A. H. Daly were guests at the monthly dinner of the Medico-Legal So- ciety given tonight in the Hotel St. An drews.
 The principal speaker was Dr. George I. Porter of Bridgeport. He read paper entitled "Reminiscences of the Assassi- nation of President Lincoln" Dr. Por- ter told the story of the assassination and in the course of his address said:
 q was in medical charge in Washing ton after the murder and had unequalled opportunities for observation.
 "The descriptions of the disposition of Booths body are most inaccurate. The body was taken to Washington, denti- fled by many persons and afterwards taken In a rowboat to the Washington arsenal and In the dead of night, in the presence of the military storeeeper, four enlisted men and myself, the only com missioned officer, was hidden in a place so secret that never to this day has it been correctly described We were re- quested by Secretary Stanton to keep si- lent and no man during these thirty-five years has yet told. 1 believe the. body was finally given to the family under agreement never to mark by mound or monument where it should be placed"

ENGLAND UNINFoRMED,
British Government Claims to Have
 No Information of Expedition.

London, February 2O--It was learned by representative of the Associated Press that the British government tonight is without any further official explanation of Field Marshal Count von Waldersee's 8 action in planning an extensive expedi- tion in China. The government expects to receive tomorrow advices from Berlin of- hcially setting forth the motive for the recent orders issued by the commander 1n-chief of the international forces in China. Such explanation has been asked for In order that the cabinet at Fridays meeting may have some satisfactory bas- Is for its deliberations on the Chinese question. However. it Is pretty we'll un- officially understood that Won Walder- sees action was purely due to a desire to bluff the Chinese.
 The action of the British members of Parliament and the newspapers, especi- ally the London Times, in calling it a bluff causes the greatest chagrin and impossible to meet Chinese finesse with out similar weapons.
 'The concert of powers" said an of1l- cial to the representative of the Associ- ated Press" is so unwieldy and Is com posed of so many different sections and sub-sections that diplomacy is out of the question. If every move made is subject to similar treatment as this last, we shall be driven to settle the Chinese difficulty by pure brute force, or not at all.
 Tt does not require any great degree of deduction to assume that Lord Salis- bury in spite of his professed ignorance and the secrecy at Berlin, was fairly well informed as to the true inwardness of Won Waldersee's recent orders''
