2 THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY. JULY 10, 1912 MURKY GREEN PETROLEUM, Precast by Which It la ConvarUd Into Refined 0t. In ll orlglual state petroleum Is of a oiurky green color. It U distilled la (ihiis with great furnaces blailng be neath them, and aa the vapors arid frc the tolling liquid they are cou vel Into pipe surrounded by cold water in which they are condensed. The first Tapors condetise luto naph tha and those produced by further beating give the burning oil. A very mall percentage of tbe crude oil put luto the pans or stills remains la the form of Ur, which by another process U couverted into paraffin und coke. After distillation the refluod oil Is no longer green, but Is as transparent as ipring water and beautifully tinged with purples and blues. It Is not yet ready for use, however, since It must be "washed." Tbe fluid Is emptied into a large circular tank In which it is treated with acids, these being poured In and mixed with It by means of pow erful pressure from beneath. When it has been well shaken It is allowed to settle, and the adds then separate from it and sluk to the bot tom of tbe tank, taking with them some of tbe tar that remained In the oil. The acids are then removed and tbe oil Is washed with salt water. Finally it Is bleached, and It is then ready for the market Harper's Weekly. TIGER PROOF HOMES. Malay Houte, Frail and Flimsy, Sometimes Perch In Tree Tops. Tbe ordlunry Malay house is built on posts from five to seven feet high, but one which I came across was perched high up in a tree. It was the home of a roan, his wife and family, and they Informed me that It was placed In this unusual situation so as to be out of the way of the numerous tigers which then Infested the neighborhood. As tigers have been known to Jump eighteen feet In vertical height some where about twenty feet Is considered to be the limit of safety. The Malnyao hous? is a fruli and flimsy structure of sticks tied together with rattan thatch ed with palm leaves and walled with plaited bamboo or, as in this case, with tbe bark of trees. It is therefore an easy matter for a tiger with its great strength to break Into a bouse and attack tbe Inhabitants. Many instances of this have been re corded in Malaya. In one well known case a whole family were killed except one man, who, climbing up into the roof and thus escaping the notice of the tiger, was a horrified observer of tbe cruel mauling and ultimate slaugh ter and devouring of his relatives. London Strand Magazine. Lit Without Microbe. Microbes are not Indispensable to all life if they are indispensable to any. Tbe question has been definitely set tled. A rage completely sterilized at 90 degrees was made and the open ings of the cage closely stopped with cotton and protected from tbe outside by a hermetically closed metallic cham ber. Such manipulations as were nec essary in onlng the cage were made by bands guarded by aseptic rubber cloth. Into such a sterilized cage three bens' eggs were placed after having been externally sterilized. The cage was fitted with a glass pavilion or chicken run, where the chickens could develop during their six weeks' sojourn in the cage. In the cape were sterilized air, pure water, sterilized sand nud sterilized feed. Tbe exix'tiiiient showed that life does not depend uxn mi crobes, but that the vital work of the organism Is easy and natural when everything is sterilized. -Hurler's. Ratio of Pdlorie.
