Life Of a Sponge

The separate existence of sponge
begins with the breaking away from
the parent of a tiny particle. The lat
ter, after being whipped about for a
time by tides and currents, eventually
attaches itself to a piece of rock, and
from that home it seeks it's own liveli-
hood, says Natural Science. The food
of infant sponges consists of yolk
cells, which contain a form of nour-
ishment. Later, as the sponge grows,
1t requires something more solid, and
this is brought by the currents, which
sweep into bag-half mouth, half
stomach-minute particles of the new
food.

Frenchnan First to
Use Gasoline Engine

The first attempt to employ gaso-
line as a motive power was made by
a Frenchman. Pierre Ravel, who pat
ented "a steam generator heated by
mineral oils, to be applied to steam
locomotion on ordinary roads" Ra-
vels engine was fitted to small car
riage, and developed three horse
power.
The Franco-German war put an end
t0sItavel's experiments for time, but
years later be built motor car in
which petroleum was used for the di-
rect generation of motive power. In
1876 LentZ invented a burner by which
a mixture of gasoline and other naph-
thas, called massout, was used as fuel
on steamships.
About the same time gasoline was
used as an illuminant in street lamps,
and later new use was found for
it in the manufacture of varnish and
oilcloth. Gasoline, amounting to per
cent of the distilled product of the
crude petroleum. continued to be a
drug on the market until the inven-
ton of the gasoline motor, and its
application to automobiles, boats, air
planes, and hundreds of industrial
uses
Several inventors helped to inaug-
urate the age of Gasoline" but the
chief of them was George L. Selden
of Rochester IN. ", the father OF
the omobile-Chicago Journal.
