IS PETROLEUM SACRED.
Petroleum might' be cheaper ill Britain had the project of 1809 been carried out—the construction of a huge line of pipes under the Atlanta: to carry oil direct from the Pennsylvania oilfields to Liverpool. Several lengthy petroleum pipe-lines arc already in existence, notably a Russian one from Baku to Batourn —a. distance of 550 miles—through which about 400,000,000 gallons pass yearly. However, the Atlantic project fell through to the intense satisfaction, no doubt, of an American citizen who objects to petroleum being used for either light or fuel. Ho once -petitioned Congress "that a stop might be put to The irreverent and! irreligious proceedings of those persons who draw petroleum from the earth, thus checking the designs of the Almighty, who has stored it there for the future destruction of the world.”
