Rockefeller, of the immense fortune he made from petroleum and the manner in which he disposed of a portion of it.
Crude petroleum and a thin tar, resulting from the process of enriching water-gas with petroleum, have been used both with compressed air and with steam with considerable success.
Petroleum has been discovered in the neighbourhood, and about 40 m.
And whenever we went out to a dinner or dance, every petroleum lamp was extinguished, and cocoanut-oil lights or candles substituted in case of an earthquake whilst we were out.

She soon declared that New York might represent the petroleum or the pigs, but the gold of life was not to be discovered there by her eyes.
Hence it has been asked, Is the paraffine occurring in petroleum and ozokerite identical with that which is produced by their distillation?
The acid is then neutralized and the paraffine extracted by petroleum ether.
The name proto-paraffine has been given to ozokerite and to the paraffine of petroleum in contradistinction to pyro-paraffine, the name that has been applied to the paraffine obtained by distillation from any source.
In the same way, by repeated treatment of petroleum residuum with amyl alcohol, a substance of melting point 59° C.
The method proposed by Zaloziecki for the determination of paraffine is the following: The most volatile portions of the petroleum are separated by distillation, until the thermometer shows 200° C.
So as petroleum residues are amorphous, and the crystalline paraffine is first produced by distillation, it has been argued that the paraffine present in crude petroleum is approximately the same thing as ozokerite.
It is well known that the paraffine obtained by the distillation of petroleum residues is crystalline, while that obtained directly (as in the filtration of residuum) is amorphous.
The change effected in ozokerite and in petroleum residues when crystalline paraffine is obtained by distillation is to be regarded as a purification, and can be effected partially by treatment with amyl alcohol.
It has also been ascertained that the liquid constituents of petroleum do not always possess boiling points that are lower than those of the solid constituents.
These facts point to the conclusion that crystallizable paraffine exists ready formed in both petroleum and in ozokerite, but in both cases other colloidal substances prevent its crystallization.
It, however, remains an open question, in the event of lower prices ruling in the Russian petroleum regions, whether American supplies may not later on experience some greater competitive foreign interference.
The method may be also carried out gravimetrically, in which case petroleum ether, boiling at 74° C.
This is usually determined by repeated extraction of an aqueous solution of the soap with petroleum ether; the ethereal solution, after washing with water to remove traces of soap, is evaporated to dryness and the residue weighed.
From 10 to 15 grammes of the fat are dissolved in petroleum ether with frequent stirring, and passed through a tared filter paper.
The residue retained by the filter paper is washed with petroleum ether until free from fat, dried in the water-oven at 100° C.
This, after washing first with hydrochloric acid and then rapidly with petroleum ether, and drying at 100° C.
The acid liquor is run off, and the petroleum ether layer washed first with water and then with a solution of 1/2 gramme KOH and 5 c.

Report of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry The Council was asked to consider a solution of iodin in liquid petrolatum, said to be prepared from Gulf Coast petroleum by a special process.
The Standard Oil Company has a small refinery across the bay, in which crude petroleum brought from the United States is refined.
The gold is reported on Luzon, coal and petroleum on Cebu and Iloilo, and sulphur on Leyte.
I do not believe in the petroleum story, and I do not think that one-third of the population believed in it.
The Japanese shooting, it is related, displayed remarkable accuracy, some of the first projectiles bursting upon the enormous oil-tanks of the Standard Oil Company and the Asiatic Petroleum Company.
In addition we had ten petroleum cans full of water; all told, a supply for four days.
A blaze roared skywards, and for many hours the heavens were darkened by an immense cloud of black petroleum smoke which hung like a pall over the town.
How the land got on before the petroleumcan was introduced it is hard to imagine.
The two chief forms of power upon which modern industry depends are petroleum and coal.
Even to-day petroleumand water play a relatively unimportant rôle.
In addition to these, all the available utensils andpetroleum cans were filled with water.
In the middle of the sail was a hole, and directly under this hole a man was stationed with a petroleum can, the kind in which the Standard Oil Company delivers petroleum, and into which the rain-water ran.
Within our outer rampart we raised another little fortress, the walls of which were about one meter and a half high, and constructed of empty petroleum cans which we filled with sand.
We had but little petroleum aboard, and the two oil lamps that we had, gave out more smoke than light.
Along the edges of the roof we fastened strips of moulding, and the water which collected on the roof was conducted through two gutters into petroleumcans hung where they emptied.
It is lighted with petroleum lamps, and is badly drained and sewered, but possesses some important buildings, and contains many fine residences belonging to the landed gentry.
The chief petroleumwells are also near Campina, at Colibasu, Pacuri, Doftanet, Telega &c.
The appearance and mode of working one of the great mines of the country will be described hereafter; and the chief localities in which salt and petroleum are raised will be found on our geographical map.
The last-named is a very interesting river, for in the vicinity of either bank are to be found the petroleum wells or salt mines.
Coal and petroleum deposits are controlled largely by a few corporations, while a heavy percentage of our copper and iron deposits is in private hands.
Our supply of petroleum and natural gas is large, and in spite of the waste which has characterized our use of these important commodities, our production of both is still great.
Through the courtesy of the West of Norway Petroleum Company, we got this done on very favourable terms at the company's storage dock in Skaalevik.
Hassel worked at his whip-lashes down in the petroleum store.
Meanwhile the other party were at work under Hassel's direction on a petroleum cellar.
This was a difficult piece of work, and it was not rendered any more easy by the attention that had to be paid to the numerous hatches leading down into the lower hold, where the big petroleum tanks stood.
It was a pleasure to go down into it; probably no one has had so fine a storehouse for petroleum before.
