Petroleum, although known from time inr memmorial, was not used as an article of commerce until 1859; when American en terprise successfully bored an eiteslari well (or the purpose or procuring oil from tbe rocky strata below. Tbe earliest evidence of the use of petroleum is (bund In the riitiia of Nineveh and Babylon. That HMd In Babylon was obtained from tbe springs or Is, on tbe Euphrates, wbicb at a later date, attracted tbe attention ot Alexander, ol Trajan, and or Julian. Herodotus' 600 years before Christ, spoke of oil wells o Zanter; and Pilot and Discorldes described the oil of Argrigentum, which was used in 'amps tinder the name of "Slcilllao oil.' In one of the Ionian Islands there is 'Spring wbiob has yielded petroleum more than 2.000 years. The wells of Armenta, on the Banks of Zaro, were formerly used for light ing tbe City of Genoa. In Persia, near tbe Caspian Sea at Baker, numerous springs of petroleum have been known from tbe earl iest times. Tbe springs of Rangoon, on tbe Irawaddt, have been worked for ag-s, and the perpetual fires burned at 1'agun springs ofpelrcleum, Ignited at the surface. Tbe American Iadians collected petroleum, wbicb was sold for various purposes, under the name of Seneca oil. Tbe old wells in Pennsylvania are known from tbe trees aow growing upon tbe earth thrown out io mak ing tbem, or growing in tbe welis them selves, to be lrom 600 to 1,000 years old. Oue of those at Titusvilie, was found after it was cleared out to have been twenty eeva en feet deep and five or six feet la diame ter, la 1819 oil was acoidently obtalnod In boring two salt wells on Muskingam River, Ohio. Ia 1829 a flowing well wss acci dently oblaioed at Burkeeville, ICy., and lor two or three weeks oil flowed over tbe sur face of the Cn a be rland River, and becom ing Ignited, caused some apprehension of a general conflagration among the inhabi tants ol tbe villages lower down (tbe river. Ia 1836 from SO to 100 barrels of petroleum were collected in the valley of the Kanawa aod sold for medicine. Tbe wells of Pennsylvania yielded in I860 000,000 barrels or petroleum; in 1861, 2,000,000 barrels, and .to 1862, 3,000,000 barrels. This rapid development or petro leum changed at once all tbe coal oil work to petroleum relineriea. lo 1851 tbe Penn sylvania Rock oil Company bad been form, ed fur tbe purpose of collecting oil at Oil Creek, but collecting tbe oil from tbasiif face of ditches with blaokets and squeezing it into tubs was found too expensive a pro cess to compete with tbe eoal oil manufac ture. Iu 1838 Col. G. L. Drake, the super intendent of the Company, begaa to bore an artesian well for oil, much to.tbe amuse ment of bis fneods and neighbors, wbo considered tbe projoct most absurd. When, however, on tbe 2Mb of August, ls59, be 'struck oil" at a depth of seventy-one feet, and obtained 400 gallons of oil a day, wbicb sold for filty cents a gallon, tbere was a great excitement. Every one wbo could leave bis borne rusbed to tbe oil region, a forest of derricks soon appeared in tbe vals ley, and numerous wells were bored. Wells were bored in West Virginia and Ohio, ifeo. No mining enterprise had ever offer cd such sudden fortunes. The Noble Well yielded io a little more than a year 500,000 barrels of oil, aod tbe Sherman 450,000 barrels in two years. Tbe poor farmers of Oil Creek suddenly found themselves wealthy: Single larms brought lrom $500,- 000 to 1,000,000, wltb a royalty on the wells "Lei. In addition.

Tbe Invigorant best adapted to this purpose is Lyon's Katbairon. It may well be called tbe fertilizer of the head. To the barren scalp It communicates vegetative power.
