SCIENTIFIC. x etroleum ?The name petroleum (roclc oil) is-applied to certain bituminous fluids found in the earth. Solid bitumen or asphalt differs but little in chemical composition from petroleum, both being compounds of hydrogen and carbon. Many varieties of petroleum, and perhaps all, bocome thick by exposure to the air, and finally solid, resembling asphaltum. The fluid petroleum has been collected in Burmah for at least fiftsen centuries. It is used by the inhabitants for light and fuel. In this countiy petroleum is not, as many suppose, a new discovery. Years ago springs of it were known in many locali ties, but its use was very limited. No method for purifying it was known, so that it was looked upon a3 valueless, and several wells bored for salt water were abandoned on account of the oil rendering the water impure. In 1SG1 it was purified, and introduced extensively as an illuminating oil to take the place of burning fluids (campliineand alcohol) the price of which was greatly enhanced, and which, by tho explosive qualities of their vapors, were causing many severe accidents. The trade increased, new wells were bored; and some "of them yielded several hundred barrels per day, making possessors at once wealthy. Pewoo *r \*?%r\ "hrr (1 hIaw decomposition of organic Bubstances under the earth's surface. Some geologists suppose petroleum to bo due to the subterraneous distillation of remains of sea plants and marine animals, and that the petroleum is forced upwards by water, always present in the bored wells. It is found in cavities and in crevices, and through the substance of the rock. Petroleum (is much lighter than water, of a geeen or black color, with a peculiar and, to most persons, unpleasant odor. It is commercially divided into two kinds, the heavy or lubricating oil, and the light oil; the former ia more dense, and sometimes of the consistence of thin molasses. It is used, without preparation, for lubricating machinery, for ?u:_i. :i TI... Willi;!! It 10 UUIUUO.UJJ' OUILV-V4. 1UU XkfrLlij oil, before it can be used, is submitted to several purifying processes, the most important of which is distillation. Burning oil is sometimes adulterated with benzine or heavy oil. To detect the former pour a few ounces into a small tin cup, and put it on a stove or over a lamp, placing tho bulb of a thermometer in the oil. Then as the temperature rises, try with a lighted taper when the oil gives off inflammable vapor; if this be below 100? or 110? Fah., the oil is dangerous to use, as its vapor, becoming mixed with air in the lamp, may take fire and explode. The adulteration with heavy oil is shown by the dimness of the flame after having burned for some time, accompanied by the charing of the wick. A Railroad Improvement.?Oar system of railroads, which lias overspread the country like a net has often challenged admiration, not only for the enterprise and skill displayed, but for the attention to minor details by which the comfort of passengers is promoted. In this connection, we may refer to a recent improvement winch is remarkable for its simplicity and its adaption at little cost to any of our railroads. To M. Thomas De Cordeza, the well-known artist, of New York, belongs the credit of a new and useful invention for conducting smoke, sparks and steim of the locomotive to the end of the train. It has been described as a "sheet-iron pipe about throe feet in diameter at its commencement, placod across tho top of the engine, supported by iron standards. The large end of the conductor is open, and is directly over the front of the locomotive, and is curved so that the opening turns slightly downward. This pipe continues to the end of the car, gradually tapering, until it is but one foot in diameter. The largo conductor passes directly over the place where tlio smoky stack should be, and from the base of the stack opening, a short covered pipe extends to the largo one, entering it about two feet from the bell-shap ed opening. A twelve-inch sheet-iron conductor extends over the tender of the engine, and is connected with the main conductor by a canvas pipe, which rests on spiral springs. Through the sides of each passenger car, and directly under the roof' will pass 12-inch galvanized pipes which will be connected *hen the train is made up, in the same manner as the conductor on the tender is connected with that of the engine." The mere force exerted by the movement of the train at ordinary speed causes the smoke and cinders to bo carried through the entire length of tho pipes.* This invention was tested by the Deleware and Hudson Canal Company Borne time since with tho most satisfactory results. We all know how accidents of a serious character have arisen to persons and property from the sparks of the locomotive, and if this invention of Mr. De Cordeza furnishes us with any remedy against them we hope to seo the improvement adopted throughout the country. Bent Shafts.?It is now possible by the aid of hydraulic machinery to bend iron shafts of twelve inches diameter to any required shipe. Incredible as this statement may seem to an expert, crank shafts are now so made, instead of by the slow, laborious, and expensive method of forging. The bent shafts are also much better than forged o nes from the fcict that the fibre of the metal runs in one direction continuously, whereas in forged ones it is often across the line of strain. IIulleks Oats.?These oats are offered to farmers at $1 per puund. It is asserted tVint, tliov "originated bv hvliridizinf* thn California Wild Oat with the old-fashioned English oat." This Js not only improbable, it is probably untrue. Besides, these oats have been grown in Europe and in this country for fifty years or more is a Eihcine to pluck farmers' pockets, and we warn our readers of tho comparatively worthless character <-f these bullosa oats, based upon experience with them. "Jock," said the old Laird of Dunlbiedikes, "when ye hoc naethiug else to do, ye maybe aye sticking in a tree; it will be growing, Jock, when ye're sleeping." The American Dairyman's Association propose arrangements for having a cheese factory in full operation at the Philadelphia Centennial. "Where's the mol'tsses, Bill?" said a red-haired woman sharply to her son, who had returned with an empty jug. "None in the city, mother. Every grocery has a large board outside, with letters chalked on it, 'N. O. Molasses.' " "Now, there's a finished gentleman for you," said a fireman, as ho gazed upon the pieces of tho engineer that had been scraped up and gathered to his fathers, after the last attempt to run a train on nothing. JL_ I.JIL J !? a gang op nrrirriKLE thikves. A Springfield, HI., Apecial says:?Illiopolis is about twenty miles east of this city, (] on the Toledo, Wabash and Western Rail- e way. It is a small village and station, the h shipping and trading point for a large sec- a tion of country, and the farmers who re- 4 side in the immediate vicinity, are gener- f( ally respectable and well to do; they are fa ; largely interested in Btock raising as well f? | as farming. When the rebellion broke out f( the people of Dliopolis township rallied S1 I around the old flag. v" b j Among the number who were fired with 8] murum giury we?

Green, ti the leader of the party, is about forty years Je of age, has a fauiily and has resided in 11- w liopolis since he came out of the army, having fonnerly resided in Mount Auburn, V just over the line, in Christian county. f? j Since his residence in I'liopolis he has been g j a most exemplary citizen. He has always h ! taken a deep interest in Christianity, teach, j ing in Sabbath School and being a regular n attendant. He is a general farmer and Ci ; occasionally has engaged in mercliandie- w ! ing?buying and selling grain, stock, <tc. 0 j All of these men except two (Ben.

C( j The robbery of the cars and the depot tl i at Illiopolis became bo frequent and [the r< I loss of property 60 extensive that Skeen, tl : the agent, consulted with Captain Green ri i (who is his brother-in-law) about hiring a l watchman. "Of course you ought," .said c Green, and straightway Green, Ben Crane p j and others of the gang were hired or vol [ unteered to watch the very premises they j were robbing. The robbing, of course was ? ! stopped. Then Crano and Green told ] Skeen "he had spoiled it all by telling a i constable that the depot was watched. If ^ | he hadn't told the constables they would ! have caught the rascals." I b< | The boldest operation so far unearthed ' : is the one for which Mitchell Havenor, is T1 i held. Havenor and Sam Dickinson went ^ to Toledo and presented thf. house of Hays ' ! &, Co. cortified bills of lading and invoices ! for five cars of wheat shipped from Illiopolis. The papers purported to have been : signed by Sam Skeen, the Toledo, Wabash j & Western agent. As tho transaction T appeared to be all right $500 was advanced- L In a short time the forgery was discovered, | and Havenor was pursued and arrested. Sam Dickinson now confesses that Green j forged all the papers. A _ C j A r.EroKTER of a Kansas paper started to P j write a novel, but after finishing the first ^ chapter he found that his characters had i all disappeared. JLhrcc had been hung for m j murder, the heroine had smothered herself te j with charcoal, the hero had jumped down ^ i a precipice, and there was not a figure left to do duty save a bull dog.

Tiie Gang Plow.?A correspondent of ie Chicago Tribune writes the following sperience as to gang and sulky plows : "I ave yet to see any value in tho gang plow, nd yet they appear to gain in popularity. jb a general rule two horses ore enough . * one man to manage, and for these a 14lch plow is sufficient. There aro a few irmere and farm-hands who can manage >nr horses and a gang of two plows, and ach men ought to have the gang plows; ut the average farmer, farm-hand, or hoy, aouia do excused irom using mum. xjul lie single sulky plow is an implement that ught to come into general use. I Lave ad a Skinner sulky for nearly ten years, ad could not well do without it, or a simar ouo. The past Fall I used a Hapgood llky for plowing out potatoes, and it provi the best thing for that purpose that I ave seen. There was no dodging of the ills. A neighbor, who had a twenty-five ollar potato-digger, also gave it a trial, ad pronounced it better than the digger, } it did better work. For all but tho most ble-bodi'ed men, the sulky plow is of inesmable value. I know u soldier who lost a ig and an arm, who dot's all of his plowing ith a sulky plow, drives his planter, and oes his cultivating with a sulky cultivator. Without these ho could do little of his irm-work, but, with them, is enabled to row tine crops with a Email amount 01 , elp. At tho Sidney trial last year a large umber of sulky aDd gang plows were presat. Only a few of the latter were sold, hile orders for the former were lively, ne agent told me that he had taken orders >r seventy. The most, if n<Jt all, of the ilky plows aro made too heavy, and no oubt this defect will bo corrected. The nst of a sulky plow is tho most serious ob:ction against them; but I have no doubt rnt a good one will bo put on tho market t $30 to $35, against $00 to $70,as at presat. In the first plucc they will be cheapaed by using less material; and, in the ;cond placo, by tho manufacture in greatr numbers. To Obtain Fuurr fkom Barbkn Trim.? A correspondent of the American AgricuU iriti says: "I ivish to describe to you a method of iaking fruit trees bear that I blundered i- Some fifteen years ago I had a small pple treo that leaned considerably.
