WAR MAKES PETROLEUM. KING
World Today Is as Much Dependent
Upon Refined Products or Oil
AS II Is Upon Wheat.

The European war is without a doubt
Doing more TO direct general attention
to the claims of oil and its nultitudin-
ous products than any amount of ad-
yeriising IN normal times could have
accomplished.
The great clash of arms on the cot
tinent has from its commencement
shown that the necessity for the pro-
ducts of petroleum in up-to-date war
fare is no less than in either the in
dustrial circles or in domestic life. We
are today as much dependent upon the
refined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities of
life, and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply. our dependency
upon Oil becomes the greater.
1t is no SURPRISE therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater atten-
ton than they ever before did, but
that particularly healthy atmosphere
permeates those enterprises which
have laid themselves out-and success
fully SOTO engage in the production,
the refining, the transport, or the dis
tribution of petroleum products. There
is, in short, no installing the fact that
in the future, Oil will be king.-Petrol-

MACHINE TO CUT DOWN TREES
Device Invented in England Said to
Perform More Work in a Day
Than Thirty Woodmen.

The growing demand for lumber in
England and the shortage of labor
have resulted in the invention of a
tree-felling machine which is said to
perform more work in an eight-hour day
than 30 woodmen, according to Popu-
lar Science. A feature of the machine
is the cleanness of the cut and the
eloseness to the ground at which the
saw works, leaving no trunks standing
and thus preventing waste.
The machine is mounted on remoy-
able wheels for Transporting it from
place 10 place. 1t consists of steam
cylinder - inches in diameter, with a
piston rod having a 19-inch stroke. It
is attached to a light wrUught-ir0n
frame of Triangular shape, so that the
saw can be fed up to its work by
means of a hand-wheel worm.
The saw is fixed to the end of the
piston rod and the teeth are designed
to cut on the inward stroke only. The
blade slides between guides and there
is no possibility of buckling. The
boiler is heated by refuse wood picked
up wherever the machine may be used
