DEATH CROWNS NEW OIL.
REFINING DISCOVERY
Overwork Kills Inventor Who
Found Way of Eliminating
Sulphur From Shale.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 10.---A method of
eliminating sulphur from shale oil,
thus making it available for full lu-
bricative and illuminating purposes
has been discovered by Prof. Burls,
who has just died apparently from
overwork connected with his inyes-
LEGATIONS, according to the Daily
Mail.
He had been employed for years by
work at Eimmeridge, Dorsetshire
where there are considerable shale
deposits and after heartbreaking eff
was able to reduce the sulphur con-
tent of the oil to less than 1 per cent
which was below the governments S
requirement.
dissatisfied with this, he continued
his researches, despite warnings that
he was overtaXinE his health, and
seemed on the eve of achieving COM
plcte elimination OF the sulphur when
stricken with the illness resulting in
his death. When virtually on his
death bed he disclosed the secret
process which, if proved applicable
on d practical scale, says the paper
Will open vast sources of valuable oil
for Great Britain.
The announcement comedies with a
report of the successful development
of Japanese experiments in extract
ing fuel oil from shale at Fushun,
