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.

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

quid to determine the points at which

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.
