ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM.

Petroleum Is one Of the results of q
great catastrophe. Scientists agree
that at some period in the worlds his.
tory there was an upheaval OF some
kind which completely changed the
character OF the earth's surface. As a
legacy to the world death left petro-
leum. Geology teaches us that animal
and vegetable life were ruthlessly de-
stroyed in this great cataclysm. Count
less millions of fishes we're carried on
the crest OF the flood. Then the wa
ters subsidized and the fish were left
laundering In the mud. They would
not release themselves. They sank
deeper and deeper In the thick de-
post which closed over them and hard
ened rapidly. The fate of animal and
vegetable life on land was the same.
The clay gradually hardened into
rock, which inclosed these animals and
vegetable forms and held them Srmly
imbedded. In some places this hard
ening process was so rapid that air
was completely excluded from tho
buried forms before decomposition set
in. The animals, fishes and plants re-
manned In their rocky repositories In
state OF perfect preservation for CEN
turtles. But changes in the earth's
composition are constantly taking
place. improvements made by man or
natural shifting Of the strata gradu-
ally caused conditions which admitted
air to the imprisoned fossils. Disin-
tegration ensued. The result was
petroleum.
II Is probable that this decaying mat
ter which had been incased In rocks
for millions Of years does not always
result In the formation of petroleum
The presence OF other chemical ele.
ments is necessary to this, but what
they are is one OF the mysteries OF
science. All that chemists know II
that petroleum is a mixture OF carbon
and hydrogen. But they do not know
the proportion in which these elements
are combined to make It. Attempts Il
analyze II have always failed, and nc
means Of manufacturing 1t ARTIFICIAL,

Washington, Sept. 1s.-The state
funeral day Of the late President Nc
Kinley opened yesterday as somber
rs the occasion. The sky was over
cast with dark, slow-moving, gray
clouds and occasional spasms Of rain
fell At precAely nine o'clock "a ST
lent command was given and the
body bearers silently and reverently
raised to their stalwart shoulders the
casket containing all that was mortal
Of the illustrious dead. AS the hearse
moved away the mourners from the
white house entered carriages and
followed the body on its march to the
capitol, where the funeral services
were to be held. IT was thought
early in the morning that Mrs. Nc
Kinley might feel strong enough to
attend the services there, but 1t was
finally decided 1t would be imprudent

for five admissions to the Exchange
floor. While other countrymen we're
relegated to the gallery, Hungry
Jack" escorted his proteges to the
floor, but lost all chance to show
them any more sights when bluff
Dick Eustis, chief Of the Board OF
Trade police force, caught sight Of
him.
"This isn't your game. Get Quit"
said Eustis, and, with Eustis' hand on
his coat collar, Hungry Jack" took
q quick walk to the door, with no
time to say good'by to his Kansas
friends.
IL wish | had taken them to the
tunnel to see the explosion instead OF
here" said he regretfully.
The visitors were surrounded by
interested traders, who congratulated
them on their escape from bad COM
pany, and magnanimously refrained
from selling them any wheat. In
cidentally approval Of the officers
action was general.
The Kansans were at some pains to
declare that they we're in no danger
from "Hungry jacks" wiles.
"It was easy enough to see what he
was" said Sheriff Robson, "but we
had no way Of getting on the floor
and we're willing to let him open the
wsy for us and then shake him up
here. Your officer made the shaking
easy."

CON MAN SEES EXPLOSION.
Takes Farmers to Board Of Trade and

Chicago Herald: On the floor OF
the Chicago Board Of Trade no com

separating from their money country
men who want to guess on the mar
ket. So, when a supposed "con"
man known as Hungry Jack" piloted
some Kansas people on the floor yes
terday morning he was hustled out in
haste.
The Kansans were former Sheriff
in. B. Robson Of Dickinson county,
s. H. Mccullough, farmer, stock
raiser, and president Of the Farmers
Cooperative Grain and Stock COM
pany, Of Abilene, and D. D. carter

when too late, that he was up against
a tough game in showing four as like

NJ Kansas with load OF fat steers the
grain pit where they sometimes sell
more wheat in a day than Kansas can
raise in year.
"Geem thought Hungry jack "
uthere are some good things in my
line" when he saw the four bronze
faced Kansans at Clark street and
Jackson boulevard inspecting the
government building.
"Hullo, gents!" he said. "Let me
take you to nice place to eat down
here"
20, we're not hungry now. We
want to see the Board Of Trade"

the people began to file by the casket,
coming into the building at the east
door and passing out through the
west door.
The last chapter of the sad cere-
monial, the removal of the remains
of the late president to the grave at
his old home at Canton, O., began
at $50 o'clock last night, when the
funeral train left here over the Penn

doors of the capitol, in which the
body had lain in state, had closed

The COMMITTEES PLANS
