SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The Diesel oil engine, now well
Known where large oil engines can be
used, differs from other internal com
pustion motors in having no vaporizer.
no ignition devices, and in operating
without explosion. At the charging
stroke the engine draws in air only;
the next stroke congresses 1t to sou
pounds per square inch, raising the
temperature to about 1000 degrees
then jet of oil is forced in by air
at still higher pressure. and the air in
the cylinder is hot enough to cause
it to burn at once. In place OF the
sudden explosion of gas there is sim
ply the steady burning OF the oil as
long as 1t is injected. The engine
was designed for running on cheap
oils, and quite recently, since the Ger
man patents expired, even tar-oil has
been employed. One OF the tar-oil en-
gines is of 4.O00-horsepower. In the
last year or two the German expert
menters have gone still further and
bave tried raw tar with such success
that early extensive use of tar as a
motor fuel is predicted. The tests have
been made with 100-horsepower en-
gine. using both thin gas-retort tar and
thick coke-oven tar. A small amount
of light oil has been used to aid igni
ton, but the engine has run on tar
alone, of widely different quality.
There was no fouling or interruptioI
The tar fuel is said to cost 1S pei
cent less than tar-Qil. and less than
nalf as much as paraffin or kerosene
oil.

The important subject of nutrition
mas received much attention. but 1t is
new suggestion that, besides correct
amounts of protein, carbohydrate and
tat, the diet must contain minute
proportion of some mysterious sub
stance not yet understood. This idea
mas been taken up by Professor Stepp
of Giessen, in study of the food of
mice. On a dried mixture of rice and
new milk the mice grew and flour
ished, but after certain portions had
been dissolved out by alcohol and
ether. this food became so unsuitable
that animals fed on 1t soon died. Some
thing essential to life had been ex-
tracted. The extract included fats.
but no improvement, and the addition
of mineral salts had no effect in pre-
serving life. Ii was concluded that
the essential substance must be a H.
poid present in milk but absent from
butter. The lipoids exist in the outer
protoplasmic layer of cells, resemble
fats in solubility in alcohol, and usu-
ally contain phosphorus and nitrogen.
The theory was confirmed by adding
an extract of dried buttermilk to the
treated food. the mice fed on the mix
ture being in good condition at the end
Of six weeks. Some lipoids have been
isolated and tested, but the particular
one necessary to existence has not
been found.

TAFT SINGS
PRAISES OF
DEAD RULER
LnNIrrp pnrss LrAsnp wIRn.l

Washington, July 29.-President
Taft said today of the death Of the
Mikado:
81 am shocked at the death of the
emperor of Japan, 1t was my good
fortune to meet him half dozen times
and to come into close relations with
him. He was a remarkable ruler He
was brought to actual power through
the Shotgun rebellion, and his life
measured a wonderful growth and ex-
pansion of the Japanese empire.
"His genius for government was
shown in the selection of generals,
admirals and statesmen, all Of whom
have brought victory to Japan, No one
who knows intimately the history Of
Japan during recent years will deny
that Mutsuhito's reign was real
leadership of the people"

STRIKE OIL
IN A WELL
NEAR BURNS
WELL DRILLED FOR PACIFIC LIVE
STOCK COMPANY SHOWS OIL OF
REMARKABLE PURITY AND
BURNS PEOPLE ARE MUCH EX-
CITED.

The subject OF most exciting talk in
Burns the past week is oil and the
occasion Of It is the finding Of the
oleaginous fluid in we'll which has
been drilled by Smith e. Swain for the
Pacific Livestock Company on Reds
Filed southeast Of Burns.
There is no uncertainty or question
about this discovery, The well drill
ers found the first positive Indications
at a depth of about $50 feet, when a
dark, sticky and tarry looking sub
stance came up with the sandwiches,
the smell Of which was unmstakable.
The quantity kept increasing until a
depth Of over 700 feet was reached
when the stuff interfered considerably
with the drilling and 1t Is said the
drill rope caught fire several times
from the frictions and the combustible
character of the stuff adhering to IT,
Smith & Swain sent samples of the
oily material to assaylng offices in
San Francisco and were first inform
ed that they must be the subjects Of
joke, as the samples were too pure
and too near refined to be crude OIL
Other samples were sent with the as
surance that they were Of the natural
product coming from the bowels of
the earth, and in answer were assured
that II such were the case they had
found such a quality of petroleum as
would be worth 81 barrel, instead Of
rs cents a barrel which is the ruling
value of the usual crude oil This ar
ticle is already so nearly pure that 1t
can be used at once for lubricating
purposes and needs only little refin-
ing to fit 1t for illumination uses.
1t is now stated that the Pacific Live
Stock company officials have given
orders to seal up and guard the well
for two weeks and then skim off the
formation on top of the water for an
other ane'yss The water and oil
now reach within a few feet of the top
of the ground.
There is an impression among those
who have studied the oil question that
the stuff found in this well has tray
eled quite distance through rock
passages and water courses in order
to arrive at It's present purity, conse-
quently, that the real oil reservoir
will be found some miles away.
Among those most intimately ac-
quainted with the facts, there was a
little rush last week to make entry on
lands situated in the lake region and
in the valley southwest of the Island

pany by the trust. 1t carried an ultl-
matum by the trust for the independ-
ent to come under It's wing or be drly-
en- out of business by ruthless cutting
OF prices.
Part of the letter from Havemyer to
Stlllman follows:
81 doubt very much II without the
corporation of the American Sugar
Refining company they (the Independ-
ent American Beet Sugar company
could pay charges on their preferred
stock With a community Of interest
of half ownership (by the trust in
the beet sugar company, as proposed
by the trusD their preferred stock
would not only be secure in It's diyl-
dends but some returns would accrue
to their common stock, so that the
proposition confronting them Is
whether they will have all the COM
mon without any return, or half the
common with very substantial re-
turn. There are already seven fac
tors and in Michigan which voluntar-
lily gave us half their stock represent
ing the cost of the reflnerIes at par
and have expressed themselves as con-
siderlng the alliance much to their Sc
curity and welfare"
The letter also states Havemyer's
plan to cover the losses Of the cut to
az cents per pound in the Missouri
valley by making 1t up "four-fold in
the New York-Philadelphia markets"
The ultimatum of the trust to give
them half the common stock in the In
dependent and virtually the control of
the American Beet Sugar company,
either through that procedure or by
being made the supervising selling
agent of the latter's output, submitted
to board of arbitration consisting of
Stillman for the trust, and Jacob
Schlff, of Kuhn. Loeb & Co., repre-
senting the beet sugar men, was fin
ally refused by the latter.
Oxnard declared that many of the
jobbers in the Missouri valley with
whom they had contracts stood by the
Independent through the war rather
than take advantage of the trust-cut
prices.
