de Bay's well which was of good promise, in the hope that a fissure might be struck, which contained petroleum in considerable quantity. Such a proce- dure might prove succesful. However if a fissure were struck, the well would probably only give a supply of oil for a comparatively short period, and I should not myself recommend it. There is another reason, beside the expense, why very deep borings are to be avoided. To understand this we must consider what petroleum is. Different sorts of petr...oleum seem to have had very different origins. The majority of the oils found in the oil districts of the United States, though there are considerable varieties amongst them, seem probably to be distillates of vegetable sub- stances, the distillation having taken place in the earth, under considerable pressure. CaUfornian and some other petroleums, seem to be the result ot distillation acting upon the remains of minute sea animals, and thus may be considered of animal origin. Professor Mendelejeff, in a paper read before the Chemical Society Digitized by Google - 9 — of St Petersburgh on the 25th February 1887, gave in detail his reasons for believing petroleum to be the result ot the action of super-heated steam, acting under great presure, in the bowels of the earth, upon iron, manganese and carbon, and he altogether contests the possibility of petroleum being of purely vegetable or animal origin, and thus attempts to prove that it is of mineral origin.
