OIL. AS FUEL.
pit 1 Likely to Supplant Coal to
a VeiT Considerable Extent.
Phlartelphla Press.
The extension of the oil fields in the
United States promises to lead to more
extensive experiments in the use of
oil for fuel. It is used now for fuel in
Russia to an extent unknown in the
United States,and its use in that coun
try for such purposes is being rapidly
cvATid. Oil is found at exisiting
prices "much cheaper fuel in Pennsyl
vania than coal.
The larger vessels plying on the
southern reaches of the Volga have
discarded all other fuel for oil ostatki,
or residue, as it is called. These steam
ers of the eastern and other large com
panies on the Caspian Sea, although
constructed with ordinary coal burning
furnaces, have had them adapted to
the use of oil. The London Times
says taht oil as fuel has become a mat
ter of course with Caspian and Volga
shipowners, and the exhaustive ex
periments made by the Russian Steam
Navigation Company have given tho
mcst gratifying results. Cost for cost,
the experiments have conclusively de
monstrated that the advantage of oil
fuel over coal, the cost of oil per mile
running at only one-third that of coal.
In the matter of cleanliness, which
means in creased comfort, there was a
great advantage in favor of oil. The
engineers reported that in the use or'
oil there was increased facility obtain
able in the regulation of the heat over
the whole heating surface, compara
tive ease of manuiplation of the fuel
itself under steam pressure, and a sav
ing of labor and waste in the stake
hold, The Russian government is now
experimenting with oil on some of its
war vessels.
Experiments with oil as fuel are be
ing made in Texas. A large planter
in Colorado county is putting up a mill
with a capacity of burning $1,000 bar
rels of oil a day. He says that is is
one-third cheaper than coal. Hawaiian
planters are conducting an inquiry into
the matter. The Market Street Rail
way Company, of San Francisco,
which controls the trolley lines in
that city, is preparing to use iol instead
of coal in its works. If the use of oil
as fuel becomes in any sense general,
it may have an influence on the price
of coal, which would by no means be
a calamity. Cheaper fuel would be a
great advantage to manufacturers and
to the public in general, provided it
did not result in a reduction of tb.2
wages of the coal mines. But the use
of oil as fuel would not cause a reduc
tion of wages, and if cheaper than coal
it would be a great public benefit.

A young lady had a train to catch,
and chartered a cab, which unfortu
nately was drawn by a very wretched
horse. Hvaing told a cabby that she
had to reach the station in twenty min
utes, away the vehicle dashed at fiv3
miles an hour.
They had barely got fifty yards,
however, before the lady put her head
out of the window and requested tho
driver to whip the horse, as he would
otherwise miss the train. He accord
ingly did so.
A little further on she asked him to
administer the whip once more, as she
cab was only just moving. Cabbv
again complied. Soon after she said:
"Can't you hit him on the head so as
to wake him up a bit?"
Looking at the young lady, the cabby
exclaimed: "Well, miss, I've 'it the
hanimal all over 'is blommin' body ex
cept 'is left ear, and I'm savin' that for
the last 'ill."

A LIFE AND DEATH FIGHT.
Mr. W. A. Hines of Manchester, la.,
writing of his almost miraculous es
cape from death says. "Exposure after
measles induced serious lung trouble,
which ended in Consumption. All my
doctors said I must soom die. Then I
began to use Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, which completely
cured me. I would not be without it
even if it cost $5 a bottle. Hundreds
have used it on my recommendation
and all say it never tails to cure Throat
Chest and Lung troubles." Regular

dizziness. A few doses of Chamber

restore his liver to its normal func

digestion and make him feel like a new

S a a IU)eS
Children are constantly exposed to all sorts of dis
eases. The air they breathe is filled with germs, sewer
gas and dust from the filthy streets are inhaled into the
lungs and taken into the blood. At the crowded school
rooms and other public places they come in contact
almost daily with others recovering from or in the first
stages of contagious diseases. You can't quarantine
against the balance of the world, and the best you can
do is to keep their blood in gopd condition, and thus
prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have
perhaps learned from observation or experience that
healthy, robust children (and this means, of course,
children whose blood is pure) are not nearly so liable to
contract diseases peculiar to them, and when they do it
is generally in a mild form. On the other hand, weak,
emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease
that comes along. This is because their blood is lack
ing in all the elements necessary to sustain and build
up the body. Poisons of every description accumulate
in the system, because the polluted and sluggish blood
is unable to perform its proper functions.
Such children need a blood purifier and tonic to give
strength and vitality to their blood, andS. S. S., being a
purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest and best for
the delicate constitutions of children. S. S. S. is not only
a perfect blood medicine, but is pre-eminently the tonic
for children ; it increases their appetites and strengthens
the digestion and assimilation of food. If your child
ren have any hereditary or acquired taint in their blood,
give them S. S. S. and write to our physicians for any
information or advice wanted ; this will cost you noth
ing, and will start the little weaklings on the road to
recovery. Book on Blood and Skin Diseases free
