Washington, Feb. General debate
on the antitrust bill closed in the
House shortly before 6 o'clock, this af-
ternoon. The debate had proceeded
since 10 o'clock, this morning. More
interest was aroused as it proceeded
and the closing speeches by DeArmond,
DEM, Mo-, and Littlefeld, Rep, Me-,
were delivered to crowded galleries and
to a very full attendance on the floor
The closing, however, was devoid of
brilliant pyrotechnics and sensational
clashes. The other speakers, today,
were Laurence, Mass; Parker, N. j.;
Terrell Mass. Jenkins Wis; Douglass,
N. Y; Henry. Texas; Fleming, Ca:
Mcclellan, N. Y; Williams, Miss. and
kieberg, Texas.
The bill will be considered for three
hours, tomorrow, under the 5-minute
rule, after which the final vote will be
taken.

when ignited, are so common as to ex-
cite no attention. The gas which
forms these bubbles comes from de-
caying leaves, twigs and animal SUBJ
stances.
We infer, from the stress laid upon
these observations in the report of
the bureau of labor and industry,
that the authorities of Kansas have
accepted the organic theory of the
origin of oil and gas. Kansas once
was in the bottom of the sea. It's
| limestone was formed out of the bones
and shells of the creatures which
swarmed in the deep in past ages.
The oil and gases of their decdying
bodies. and of sea weeds and other
vegetation, were preserved in the
sediment. This is the limestone which
always overlies the oil fields and is
prevalent throughout Kansas Even
the dryest rock under pressure has
yielded traces of oil. Just what
geological conditions are necessary
for the accumulation of the oil in
paying quantities have not yet been
determined. But there is much reason
to believe that there are productive
fields more or less deeply buried
under the surface of the earth
throughout the entire state of Kansas.

The studies in and around London
are just now filed with gossip about
the late distinguished artist. James
Mcneil Whistler. One is told of a
female model to whom Mr. Whistler
owed some Is shillings for sittings.
She was a Phfffstine of the Philis-
tines, who knew nothing of her pa
irons fame and was in no way iu-
pressed with his work. One day she
told another artist that she had been
sitting to little Frenchman called
Whistler, who jumped about his studio
and was always complaining that peo-
PIE were swindling him and that he
was making very little money. The
artist suggested that if she could get
any piece of painting out of Whistler's
studio he would give her G1O for it.
Although skeptical, the model decided
to tell her little Frenchman" of this
too generous offer and selected one of
the biggest and finest works in the
studio. What did he say?" asked the
artist who had made the offer when
the model appeared in state of great
excitement, and, looking almost as

Origin Of Oil and Gas.
Kansas City Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Ever since the time that oil and GAS
became of commercial value, chemists
and geoloyists have been trying to
discover the origin OF these connus-
tible materials. This hothtrsome
question Is one of more than theoreti-
cal import ance. 1t is extremely
practical. If the process of their
manufacture in the great furnaces, re-
torts and rendering apparatuses of
nature is continuing, the supply of
course is inexhaustibl.; but if it has
ceased, then grave problem con-
fronts mankind which can only be
solved by the practice of economy or
the discovery of new substitutes.
The theories advanced to explain
the origin of oil and gas, as PROBES
sor Grimsley, of Kansas, points out,
naturally fall into two groups, tl,e in
organic and the. organic. The advo-
Gates OF the first group claim that the
surface waters of the earth, percolat-
ing downward, encounter heated
masses OF metallic sodium and potas-
SUM of iron. The reactions which
follow this contact form hydrocar-
bons of the petroleum series. If this
theory Is correct, then the process of
the formation OF oil and gas is con-
tinuing and the fields cannot be ex-
hausted. Another theory of this
group regards these substances as of
volcanic origin, emanating from the
central fires along certain fissured
and fractured zones in the crust of
the EARTH.
The majority of chemists and geol-
ogists ofrecent years, however, seem
inclined to- favor the organic theory
of the origin, and consider oil and
gas as the result of the decomposition
of buried vegetable and animal mat
ter. DR.. Engler, of Germany, in ex-
perimenting on the distillation of fish
oils and lard, obtained illuminating
oil, benzine and paraffine almost
identical with those obtained from
natural petroleum. DIR. Sadtler got.
the same results from the distillation
of fiaxseed oil, and Professor Daubree
secured similar products from the
action of superheated steam on wood.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute 10 health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
OF those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,

and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
