Student Editorial Deceitfulness by Hattie King, Stn grade. What is dekieitfulness'? What effect does It nave on our ;ines? It is a word that all pure hearted people shudder at and the noble ana honest draw back from in disdain. Its mark on any life is every thing but that which is beau tiful and good. When once our friends And a de ceitful trait in us, they no longer value our friendship. The world love sa frank heart and a noble mind, but few people really admire a man who 4s a true friend to their face and a deadly enemy to their back. If we are deceitful we are not like wise to prosper. It will be the upright, true, honest and religious person that will prosper In the future. We do not want to be called deceiv ers of Christ and neither do we wakt to be called deceivers of his people. Many men and wemen are deceivers today. For example some mnn may meet ' with a girl In some place and the man, not knowing her character and she not knowing his, muy woo and marry and after they are married he finds that he has been deceived for she was not what she seemed. They knew the deceltfulnees of each other when it was everlastingly too late. Another example of deceltfulnees is Jacob the old Bible Character. He deceived his old blind father by pre paring his favorite food and dressing himself In goat skin so he would resemble Ms brother. He not only deceived his father, but his brother Esau also and even went so far as to steal Esau's birth right. We see by this that deceltfulness can lead us on {o something worse and! In the end It will mean the destruction of our soul and body. Lavoisier Chemical Society Petroleum (By Boone Sykes) Petroleum hag helped greatly in the spreading of civilization over the world. All the world loves light, which is so necessary tor the reading habit and the spread, of civilization, and in every continent, the most common Uluminant for the family lamp. The Arabian Nights," a book of a thousand and one units of a vivid imagination includes a story of a magic carpet on which its owner could sit ! and wish hipiseif in apy place where | his fancy might direct and he was : forthwith transported to that place. | Little did the author or that story dream that it would become so near a reality as exists In modern times, when a colorles slMjuid can be placed [ in the tank of a machine weighing one or more tons, which will cause the I machine and its occupants to travel j where the birds can fly. This wonder- 1 ful liquid Is gasoline. Nearly all moto- j rists know Chat there is some rein tion between gasoline and crude oil. but not many of them kqow how gaso line la produced from the "black gold" of the oil fields. Ffetroleum collects deep down In the earth, especially in porous sand stones, with water and natural gas, the gas being lightest on the top. the oil next, and the water on the bottom. When the boring machine breaks the Impervious cap that seals the off sands, the oil gushes from the earth, due to the great pressure of the gas lmprls soned with It. This sends the oil forth as soda water blows Itself fro ma bot tle. Refineries engaged in the business ot distilling crude oil are ot two clas ses. The first clasB is refineries proper, while the second should be designated as skimming plants. A refinery proper distills crude oil into all the products that can be taken from it A skim ming plant dlstila it down to a cur tain rtage, and the reaidna la used as fuel oil. The process of extracting gasoline and other products from crude oil Is, in general as follows: Crude oil M pumped from storage tanks into a battery ot several stills, saoh being filled to about two-thlrdn it* capacity. Fire undeneath the still, produced by gaa or fuel oil heats the contents until a gaa vapor la given off. The heated (as vapor Is piped through a condenser box filled with water which condenses the gaa to a liquid. A stlll m*n makes frequent teats ot the li quid to determine the points at which It Is turned into various tanks' The first or most volatile product la hen slne, than follow gasoline, naptha. kerosene, distillates and gas oil, hi order as named. This la as far as a skimming plant .Carrie* the operation, the remainder being used or sold for fuel or road oil. A refinery proper re duces the residue to lubricating oil and grease ot various grades alec wax paraffin and other material*, depen ? ? i ' (ting upon the kind of crude oil used. The s'ills are huge cylindrical steel tanks iiuteil in a Horizontal position with a brick funnrrr ? ffmtennath.

This treatment removes the most | objectionable odors and the grease from the naptha and kerosene. Vari- j ous economies are practiced in theM way ot using heat from the products j| of the stills, especially the fuel oil [ i whic h is to be pumped into the stills, |l by us.ng high pressor.? stills, In which |j the lower grades of products from the [crude oil are re-run and "cracked." the yield of gasoline extracted or dis tilled is about 4(i per cent of the crude oil gallonage. Naphtha produced, is about 3 per cent kerosene, 10 per cent dlBtillates and gas oil 3 per cent, and loss about 5 per cent, the remainder being sold for fuel or road oil by the skimming plants. Gasoline is aUo now produced by compressing and con densing natural gas which Is rich in gasoline vapor. This is known as "ca singhead" or "wet" gas. The name "casinehead" comes from the control head on the top entt ot the casing in an oil well to which the gas pipe Is attached. This grade of gas Is found in wells which are also producing oil. . Vacuum pumps weighing many tons suck the gas from the oil sand, which tends to draw off the lighter portions of the crude oil which evaporate easily from the vacuum pump, the gas pas ses through a huge compressor which subjects it to a pressure ot 300 pounds per square inch. This action heats the gas to a very high temperature, and cooled the gasoline is precipitated In pipe coils over which water is con Htantly sprayed. This kind of gasoline is of such high gravity and volatility that it is said to mak* a car climb trees and telephone poles. For gene ral and commercial punpoaes It is mixed with naptha to bring Its gravity down to that of other commercial gaso line. Where was the first oil field dis covered? We feel very proud when answering this question with America- ' The oldest American oil field, runs from south-eastern New York, south west through western Pennsylvania, sotttheasern Ohio, and the adjacent puts of West Va? a territory 160 milee long and from 25 to 40 miles In width. Within 40 years after the discovery of the first well this field had 20,040 deep wells and 4,000 mileB ot pipe line to collect the oil in storage tank! snd carry It to refineries. But oil pros perity is like a mushroom, so short Is the life of fields. This is w-11 shown in the case of Texas, which produced 4 million barrels in 1910, 28 million in 1305, and 9 million in 1909 Transportation of petroleum. The fact that petroleum products are used in almost all countries and exported from so few necessities [large transportation. The problem I of handling ths lnflamnable fuel has Ibeen dlflicult. At first barrels were | used then ?tme iron tank railway I cars and lastly pipe lines where the | traffic is great. Petroletum as a ?source of power The first great use of petroleum was for Illuminating oil and then for lubrication, but with the opening of the twentieth century it has rapidly increased in use as a source of power, rirt came the engine run by gasoline, one o? the petroleum products, now is irapoj-tant In the automobile. Then cam? the use of crude petroleum as ordinary boiler fuel, chiefly used in sbipii. The third and newest use of petroleum as a source of power is in the German invention or the Diesel engitte, an Internal combustion gas engine wjiich has the great advantage of being able to use the crude petrole um as -It comes from the earth. It is so efficient that a gallon of oil costing from 2 to 6 cents will develop 15 horse power. Our foreign trade in petroleum. The American trade in petroleuhi products Is as wide as the world. Our oil makes better Illuminating oil thin that of Russia, and is sent, in the crude form, to some of the more important countries, while in the foFrii of kero sene or refined petroleum for la raps it Is distributed more universally than any other product of the American export. In 1910 the export of illuml- j natlng oil was about a billion gallons and that of lubricating oil and crude I oil each about a sixth as much. ?
