TIGER PROOF HOMES.
Malay Houses, FraiI and FIimsy,
Sometimes Perch In Tree TOPS.

Malay Houses, FraiI and FImsy,
Sometimes Perch In Tree Tops.
The ordinary Malay house is built on
posts from FIVE to seven feet high, but
one which l came across was perched
high up in tree. 1t was the home of
a man. his wife and fam ily, and they
informed me that it was placed in this
unusual situation so as to be out of the
way Of the numerous tigers which then
infested the neighborhood.
As tigers have been known to jump
eighteen feet in vertical height some
where about twenty feet is considered
to be the limit of safety. The Malayan
house is a frail and flimsy structure of
sticks tied together with rattan thatch-
ed with palm leaves and walled with
plated bamboo or. as in this case, with
the bark of trees.
1t is therefore an easy matter for a
tiger with its great strength to break
into a house and attack the Inhabitants.
Many instances Of this have been re-
corded in Malaga. In one well known
case a whole family were killed except
one man, who, climbing up into the
roof and thus escaping the notice of
the tiger. was q Mortified observer of
the cruel mauling and ultimate slaugh-
ter and devouring Of his relatives

MURKY GREEN PETROLEUM.
Processes by Which It Is Converted
Into Refined Oil.


Into Refined Oil.
In its original state petroleum is Of
murky green color 1t is distilled In
pans with great furnaces blazing be-
meath them. and as the vapors arise
from the boiling liquid they are con-
veyed into pipes surrounded by cold
water in which they are condensed
The first vapors condense into naph-
tina and those produced by further
heating give the burning oil. A very
small percentage of the crude oil put
into the pans or stills remains in the
form of tar, which by another process
is converted into paraffin and coke
After distillation the refined Oil is no
longer green, but is as transparent as
spring water and beautifully tinged
with puppies and blues. 1t Is not yet
ready for use. however, since it must
be washed" The fluid is emptied into
large circular tank in which 1t is
treated with acids. these being poured
in and mixed with it by means of pow
erful pressure from beneath.
When it has been well shaken 1t Is
allowed to settle, and the acids then
separate from it and sink to the bot
tom of the tank, taking with them
some Of the tar that remained in the
oil
The acids are then removed and the
oil is washed with salt water. Finally
it is bleached, and it is then ready for
the market--Harpers Weekly.
