Geology of Oil Little Understood.

The principles governing the origin
and mode of occurrence of petroleum and
natural gas are as yet but fragmentar-
lily grasped by biologists. Every oil
field examined in detail contributes its
data for use in the eventual interpre
tation OF the problems. and each POOL is
studied with keen alertness for the dis
covery of some key that may aid in
the coordination of the data. which
sometimes, according to the region and
condi seem, on account of our lack
of knowledge, even to be in conflict. The
observations made by the biologists OF
the United States geological survey
in the oil and gas fields Of California
and Kentucky promise to further tie
solution Of some of the problems, and
by pointing out the relations of oil and
gas occurrence to the geologic structure
OF the regions examined they have rem
dered important scientific as well rs.
economic aid in oil and gas developments;
but the basic principles controlling the
widely varied modes OF occurrences in
kinds OF oils in widely separated re
gions are possibly still far from view

A Negro Waiter With Five Adopted Chill

The following true story taken from
the February American Magazine won
third prize in contest "The Noblest
Man l Ever Knew:
1T was the purchase of the house
boat that led to the discovery of the
real Robert. Up to that time he had
been merely q negro waiter; a mighty
good natured and efficient one to be
sure, and general favorite, but still
only waiter.
However. as / stepped ashore from
the deck of the newly purchased Wan
derer, | found to my surprise that Rob-
ert and | were to be neighbors during
the time of Quitting and getting ready
for the summers cruise. A motely
shanty built of old boards and boxes
and covered more or less with discarded
tin roofing and tar paper, the whole
perehed precariously on the river bank
close to my mooring, served as home
and shelter for this man and his family
of six-wife and five piccaninnies. The
wife was comely mulatto woman, well
spoken and neat; the chocolate drops
a husky roaring crew. ranging upward
in size from a baby in arms.
"As the days went by and | saw more
and more of this family life so far re-
moved from any that had ever known.
my opinion of Robert grew measurably,
for | noticed that he was kind in
rough sort OF way with his wife, and,
as it seemed to me. particularly proud
and indulgent with his children.
"A chance remark of mine concerning
his family drew from him a reply that
fairly stunned me. and in that instant
