A TRAVELLING COIN CABINET.
Recourse Of a Teacher to Inspire an
Interest in Geography.

Recourse Of a Teacher to Inspire an
Interest in Geography.
From the New York Evening Post.
IT know I have reputation for superb
ciality in my work. said a Harlem teacher
to the writer, "but the pedagogue Is like
the undertaken a quantity upon which
everybody may pour the walls Of pessimism.
We keep on, however, finding new ways
and means to teach the young idea. I've
made good friends with the mothers Of my
district by coin museum. 1t has become
SO popular now that we have named 1t the
travelling coin cabinet. The reason of Its
existence is simple. My children would not
become interested in geography. I used
brightly tinted maps and raised maps, made
colored drawings and secured new-fangled
globes, yet their little brains refused to be
ensnared. One happy day I called upon a
school inspector who is a collector Of coins
and in looking through his cabinet 1t came
to me in a flash that here was splendid
way to teach pupils history and geography
without letting them know it"
"A brilliant idea said the inspector;
I'll give you my duplicates and lend you
specimens Of the different kinds. He en-
tered into the project with enthusiasm The
contents of our little cabinet increased
rapidly. Where we could not get originals
loaned to US we secured copies. Now we
have copies of the Greek Roman, medi-
age. In describing country we use the
coins to interpret the lines of monarchs,
chronology, works of art, forms Of religion
and even the mineral wealth. The general
ship of Alexander, the cruelty Of
Philip of Spain, the statelineSs of Queen
Bess, the bravery of Napoleon as depicted
by a coin appeals with double force to the
minds of children. The country, character.
government, costume and scenes of triumph
all appeal strongly to them. Naturally
some of the comments are distracting if not
humorous. A small boy who was not very
attentive thus summed up the history of
Alexander the Great, after seeing a coin
Of his time He cut the Georgian knot
with Cuban machete, and that state be-
came one of the original colonies. His last
name was Hamilton. He was born In the
West Indies. That's how he came
to have machete by him.
THE greatest interest is shown in Amer1-
can coins and especially those Of revolu-
tionary and colonial times. Indian wam-
pun and suckanhock serve purpose in d.
recting attention to the Americas OF the
red men. So delighted were the children
with she'll money that they traced strings
of seawan from memory in a drawing les

Oil In China.

At Cleveland the other day the
Times oil man met a very intelligent
Chinaman His name will not be
given for obvious reasons. When
asked as to the existence of petro-
leum in the Flowery Kingdom he re-
marked that there was no doubt
about it, but the superstition of the
people prevented its development as
we'll as that of other minerals. He
was we'll acquainted with native
mining engineer who had investigat-
ed the matter of the existence of min
eral deposits, who had stated to him
that there were greater coal deposits
in China than any other nation on
earth. He claimed also that there
were very strong evidences of great
basins of oil existing in. lengthy
belt, passing from the southeast
across an extensive area to the north
west He was guided in making his
deductions by the discovery upon
the surface of the streams along this
course OF. substantial specimen of
the greasy stuff we designate petro-
leum.
But this representative OF the an
cient country affirms that if is i'm.
possible under the present govern
ment regime to have anything &C
complished in natural developments
as long as the empress dowager
lives. He blames her for nearly all
the ills to which the Chinese people
have fallen heir for the past 20
years. She holds the reins OF gov
eminent by rights of the old en-
peror's death and will continue ia
hold it till she breathes ner last She

as the poorest of them. She will not
allow mining to proceed. He states
that the people of his country desire
our American oil, but Russia has an
eye on the market-Toledo Times.

the proportion of the substances in
troduced for obtaining qualification
are larger than is advantageous to the
oil to be treated, while the results in
burning are such as to produce far
too much waste. The great thing, of
course, is to reduce these latter to a
minimum, and to leave the heating
power of the oil as unimpaired ds
is possible.
1t is doubtful whether such results
can be obtained with a purely me-
chanical combination and it would
rather seem that the solidifcaton
must be effected by chemical means.
Of such a method we have. recent
ly heard, and it appears likely to pro-
vide a solid petroleum fuel of very
great value and utility. So perfect is
the combustion of this solicited pc
troleum that o5 per cent of the whole
is consumed, only a small proportion
being water and other constituents.
Moreover, no ash is left behind. Ex-
periments have already been conduct
ed on fairly large scale.-Petroleum

NEODESHA REFINERY.

The Standard is now engaged in in
creasing its capacity at Neodesha
from four still refinery to 10 stills,
and have at the present 100 men at
work on enlargement, and will en-
ploy 200 more as soon as they can be
secured. They have purchased 80
acres of land adjoining the present
site on the north, on which the i'm
provements will be erected. This will
give the refinery capacity of 1000
barrels of refined oil every "a hours.
The Bartlesville pipe line is under
construction and it is expected 10
have this line completed within the
next few months. Right of way has
about all been secured for the Hum
boldt pipe line and the extension
from the Stewart bottoms to the
Humboldt field will begin at once.
Another serious cause of de-
lay to the work in hand
has been the delay in freight at the
Missouri River crossings and the
general tie up in freight transporta-
ton throughout the entire country,
combined with accidents to ship
ments in transit several cars of ma
terial having been completely de-
stroyed and other material so badly
damaged that it was necessary to re-
turn the shipments to the East for
the purpose of shearing large ship
ment of boiler plate which was en-
route to Kansas for tanks.
Two tanks which were bought in
the Texas field for immediate ship
ment several months ago have not
yet been received. Shipments of pipe
are delayed very much, but it is hop
ed that this material will be placed
on the ground in the very near flu
ture. The company has two gangs
of tank builders, of rs men each, idle
at Neodesha, on account of the de-
lays mentioned.
The other class of laborers are
very difficult to get, and it looks as
vest season approaching, it looks as
though the labor question would be-
come very serious factor in getting
work done promptly.
The tract of 100 acres which has
been purchased for tankage purposes
and on which it was stated IL tanks
would be erected, has Been surveyed
by the company's engineer, and To-
cation staked out for SO tanks, which
will be built as soon as possible. This
tankage, with the tankage already
provided at Neodesha, Bartlesville
and Chanute, will give the company
storage capacity of over 100000 bar
rels. In addition to this another farm.
Immediately adjoining the one recent
ly purchased, can be secured by the
company at any time and will be util-
lied for tankage purposes as soon
as it is found necessary to do so.-

Tn this lecture the scope OF utility

for safety of transpor and reducnon

pears to be very large amount of
oil disseminated through the several
and cretaceous, and possibly also car
boniferous strata. Scarcely a we'll
has been drilled to any considerable
depth which has not encountered
traces of oil in some of the beds pass
ed through. There is also an abund-
ance of porous beds adapted to form
reservoirs for the oil. These are I'M
consolidated sands and gravels, and
in some cases, very porous lime
stone or dolomite. The imperviors
cover required to retain the oil and
prevent its escape from the reservoir
rock to the surface is found in the
beds of clay and compact limestone
which make up the buried beds"
The elevation above the surrounnd-
ing level plain which are depended on
to indicate the presence of these fav-
orable structures are due to the con-
tinued action of the elevating force,
whatever it may have been, down to
a very recent date. Where this force
has been most active and the eleva-
ton has been greatest, no oil is found
1t is quite possible, therefore, that
there may be similar structure not
marked by surface elevations, even
more favorable to oil accumulation
than any thus far discovered. These
can be revealed only by the drill,
but careful study of the arrange
ment of the known domes may afford
valuable suggestions as t. their 10.
cation. The fifth condition favorable
for oil accumulation, complete satura-
ton of the strata with water, is prob
ably very general, but how much cir
culation this ground water has, and
what its effect on the accumulation Of
oil may be, are points concerning
which there are few data available.
The oil rock is crystalline dolo-
mite limestone, having an extremely
