subjecting it to distillation a certain
portion of it could be used for
lighting purposes, to supplant
candles and lamps using whale oil
and vegetable oils.
But it was found that consider
able fraction-about 20 per cent
of this oil had so low a boiling
point, was so volatile and explo-
sive, that it was extremely danger
Gus in lamps. At the sign of the
coal oil lamp of that pioneer period
fires and explosions were the pre-
va1ling program.
1t was soon seen by the refners
that, IT kerosene was to become
popular illuminant, the light
boiling point fraction" must be
taken off the top and disposed of
in some otner way. For a con-
siderable time it was turned into
the nearest streams and allowed to
dispose of itself by evaporation.
The refners were forced to recog-
nize the fact that in some way they
must find legitimate commercial
outlet for this volatile fluid, which
was so explosive that it could not
be dumped without great peril to
life and property.
Under the pressure of this
economic necessity, about 1875,
a man named Hull, who was in
touch with the Cleveland refneries
invented vapor stove which was
the father of the gasoline stove of
today. For time this furnished
very considerable outlet. A con-
siderable quantity of gasoline was
also consumed at this period in
street lamps and out-of door light
ing systems.
About 1908, the motor car, with
its internal combustion engine,
appeared on the scene-just in
time to rescue gasoline consump-
ton from decided setback, due
to the fact that gas had come into
general use for lighting and heat
ing purposes and was able, on &C.
count of its greater cheapness and
safety, to push gasoline out of
competition to a great extent.
Gasoline has, in short, pushed
King Kerosene from the throne.
The outcast, the infant terror of
the oil industry, has now become
the car of the whole empire of
petroleum commerce, and there
are few who do not pause at the
sign of the garage pump to pay
him tribute.

CREAM OF TRADE
Steel compenles Choose Only
the Best.

Optimism is the keynote in all
branches of the iron and steel
trade says trade journal. The
leading plants are recorded to be
so loaded up with orders that they
are accepting only the cream of
the business being offered.
Quotations were advanced in
another long list of products dur
ing the past week and many articles
are now selling at record high
prices. Plates. for example, are
quoted at 50 per 100 pounds, COM
pared with the previous high mark
of $2.85 made in 1899. Bars are
$2.75 per 100 pounds, compared
with their previous high mark of
81. 40 made in 1892, and beams are
50. so per 100 pounds, as against a
top figure of $2.25 also made in the
same year. Another advance in
sheets and all wire products is ex-
pected within the next few days.
Tinplate for domestic delivery is
still So ton below the previous
high mark set in 1900.
Under present conditions in the
industry, steel manufacturers are
in the midst of a period of pros
perity such as has never before
been witnessed in this country.
Earnings of the various companies
are conceded to be exceeding the
most sanguine expectations of a
few months ago. In the opinion
of experts, net profits of the United
States Steel corporation for the
quarter ending July /, next, will
reach SIS, 100000 The corpora.

and the superintendent of nearly
all the range towns were present.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.

and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous

enormous income is regarded as
assured.
The statement is made that the
recently organized Midvale Steel &
Ordnance company is earning at
the rate of $50 or more a share for
its common stock and it is known
that the Bethlehem Steel company's
earnings are extraordinarily heavy.
In the way of war business, it
has been announced that the Sub
marine Boat corporation has signed
contract with the Russian govern
ment for the building of submarines
to cost approximately $40, 100000.
These boats are to be built in
Russian shipyards under the license
of the American company under a
royalty-coumission basis of IL
per cent on their cost. This
royalty will amount to IS, 100000,
and it is guaranteed to the boat
company by the National City
bank of New York.
Orders for railroad equipment
are also increasing in face of the
high cost of materials and the fact
that the roads are not buying any
more cars for locomotives than they
are absolutely forced to. 1t is
estimated that orders placed during
March will reach If OOO cars and
900 locomotives compared with
IL, 500 cars and 465 locomotives
ordered during February. Some
of the Northwest roads are report
ed to be in the market for equip
ment and it is expected that some
interesting news regarding the
placing of orders will come out
shortly.

Gasoline History

Gasoline first compelled public
attention in the role of the little
demon in the kerosene or coal oil
lamp. In this capacity it kept the
coroner and the insurance adjuster
working overtime.
When crude oil was first discov-
cred in the Pennsylvania district
the public received it as a cure-all
for diseases instead of a fuel or an
illuminant.
Then it was discovered that by

GETTING RID OF

The same old story every year

many cures suggested.
Attention should first be direct

are good as far as they go, so is
insect powder. Various sprays
may he applied to the roosts and
the woodwork, being sure to get
the solution into the cracks and
joints.

we'd the problem and incubator
chicks when properly handled
should remain free from lice.
