'A DIVIDEND MAKER.
‘MERMAN FRASCH’S INVENTION WAS
PRACTICAL AND PROFITABLE.
The Present - Prosperity of the Standard
OU Company Largely Due te His Method
of Refining Ohio Oil—Rn Ingenious Ger
man-American.
Whenever our great inventors are be-
Ing mentioned do you ever hear the
name of Herman Frasch of Cleveland?
Probably not. Yet Mr. Frasch is un in
ventor whose work is-directly responsi
ble for the commercial prestige of one
of the most profitable concerns in this
country. Last year the Standard Oil
company paid in dividends to its stock
holders the enormous sum of $33,000,-
000. Had it not been for an invention
of Mr. Frasch this company’s dividends
would have been, only a fraction of that
afiiount—how small a fraction it would
be hard to estimate. Perhaps no divi
dend would have been declared at all.
’ During the earlier years of the exist
ence of the Standard Oil company the
Pennsylvania arid New York fields fur
nished an amount of crude oil which
was greater than the demand, and enor
mous quantities, many millions of bar
rels in fact, were stored in iron tanks.
The Standard was not paying 33 per
cent dividends in those days. By sys
tematic and energetic efforts, however,
the world’s consumption of kerosene oil
as an illuininant was increased. The
refined oil was exported and introduced
in all quarters of the globe until the
bine barrels with which we are all so
familiar were being unloaded at all the
ports of the world.
In the meantime the oil output had
decreased almost as mush as the con-
■ sumption of oil had increased. The
i Standard, having successfully throttled
all competition and seized the world’s
markets, found itself confronted with
the prospect of being unable in the
course of <a few years to supply those
■ markets. This was a serious condition.
Just when affairs looked most un
promising—in 1885, to be exact—an en
’tirely new oilfield was discovered in
• Ohio. It was extensive, and crude petro
leum was abundant, but it was soon dis
k covered.that the Ohio oil was of a far
different kind from that of Pennsylvania
and New York. The methods which
had been used with such success to re
: fine the product of the old fields were
; practically useless when applied to the
Ohio product. The Standard was early
r ■
HERMAN FRASCH.
*«on the ground and secured a big slice of
-the territory, but the refined oil from
tJhe new field was found to be practical
ly useless as an illuruinant. The crude
'Oil could be sold for about 16 cents a
.barrel as fuel, but it added nothing to
■ the visible supply of refined petroleum.
All the skill and scientific aid which
unlimited means could command were

brought to bear on the prooiem oi refin
ing this new oil, but after months of
experimenting it waa decided the Ohio
oil was only fit for fuel. As a result the
refinery at Lima, 0., was dosed, and
the Standard people resigned them
selves to the gloomy prospect of seeing
their giant industry slowly waste away.
Just at this gloomy juncture the
Standard people heard that Herman
Frasch of London, Canada, had solved
the problem of freeing the Ohio oil from
its objectionable qualities and was mak
ing a perfect illuminant of it by a cheap
process and on a large scale. For months
the Standard people would scarcely cred
it the news, but after a thorough inves
tigation Mr. Frasch’s patented process
was purchased at a most liberal figure,
and under his direction new and exten
sive refineries were erected. At present
nearly 60,000 barrels of crude oil are
being refined by the Frasch process every
day, and instead of the Standard Oil
company passing out of existence it is
now one of the most gigantic corpora
tions on the globe.
According to all rules of fiction, the
inventor of this profit making process
should have starved in a garret, but Mr. j
Frasch was not a character in fiction,
and he did not part with the secret of
his process until he was assured that he
would be handsomely paid for the same
Instead of dragging out a miserable ex
istence in poverty he is enjoying a royal
income and lives in good Htyle.in Cleve
land.
Mr. Frasch is a highly educated and
genial gentleman who is just in the
prime of life. He comes from an old
German family and was born in Wurt
temberg in 1851. His father, Johann
Frasch, was mayor of that city. Her
man received a classical education, be
ing graduated from Heidelberg. He be
came especially proficient in chemistry
and natural philosophy, sciences which
he has put to most practical and profita
ble use. His process for refining oil is
only one of a score of important and
valuable inventions which he has pro
duced. He perfected a process for dis
solving sulphur while still in the origi
nal deposit, making it possible to mine
that substance just as salt is mined, by
pumping. This process is in successful
operation in the south and has revolu
tionized the industry.

Sore Throat.
a In a Tetter to
Dr. Hartman,
dated Deo. 27th,
1896, George A.
Blanchard, of
Washington, Ga.
write-s: “My
throat had been
in the habit of
getting sore every
year for the last
twenty years,
and if any med >
cal skill did me any good it was so little
1 did not know it. Two years ago my
wife was down sick two months, tried
two doctors, but the case was a stub
born one of female trouble. I found in
Pe-ru-na not only a good, safe remedy
for sore throat, but one for weakness
and nervous prostration. I quit the doc
tors and purchased a bottle of Peru na,
and in three days after my wife got up
and she has been going ever since, and
I have not been bothered with that bad
sore throat. It used to last at least fif
teen or twenty days. Since we have
used your medicine my wife has not
lost a single day, and she has gained
over fifty pounds.”
In a later letter, July 22d. 1897, Mr.
Blanchard writes: • ‘All of the sickness
we have in the family is when we can
not get Pe ru-na. We people in the
South think Pe-ru-na is a God-sent
blessing. I recommended Pe ru-na to
friends of mine that had asthma and
one bottle cured them. Whenever Pe
ru-na is used it speaks loudly for itself.”
Dr. Hartman, the original com
pounder of Pe-ru-na, has a recent book
on chronic catarrh which will be sent
free by the Pe ru-na Drug M’f’g Co..

Not Tall Enough.
Just at the time when vague reports
were beginning to creep abroad that
Germany was meditating fresh exten
sion of her frontier at the expense of
Holland a Dutch official of high rank
happened to be visiting the court of
Berlin, and among other spectacles got
up to amuse him a review was organized
at Potsdam.
“What does your excellency think of
our soldiers?” asked Prince Bismarck as
one of the regiments came marching
past in admirable order.
“They look as if they knew how to
fight, ” replied the visitor gravely, “but
they are not quite tall enough. ’’
The prince looked rather surprised,
but made no answer, and several other
regiments filed past in succession, but
the Dutchman’s verdict upon each was
still the same,’ “Not tall enough. ’’
At length the grenadiers of the guard
made their appearance—a magnificent
body of veterans, big and stalwart
enough to have satisfied even the giant
loving father of Frederick the Great,
but the inexorable critic merely said,
“Fine soldiers, but not tall enough. ”
Then Prince Bismarck rejoined:
“These grenadiers are the finest men in
our whole army May 1 ask what your
excellency is pleased to mean Uy saying
that they are not tall enough?”
The Dutchman looked him full in the
face and replied, with significant em
phasis, “I mean that we can flood our
country 12 feet deep.”—London Tit-
Bits.

one wishes. The essentials are to take
long envelopes and label them for the
various purposes for which they are in
tended. For instance, one set contains
one envelope each for clippings relating
to politics, medicine, society, stocks,
religion, poetry, celebrities and college
news. Such a set should be- a very nice
present for a sister to give a brother
who was prominent in college journal
ism. Just the bare envelopes tied to
gether with the college colors would
suffice, but to make the set more fan
ciful take some chamois skin and cut it
large enough to form a sort of book cov
er for the envelopes, decorate it if pos
sible, but if not simply print the word
clippings in gilt letters on the back.
Then lay the envelopes together and
punch two holes about 2% inches apart,
make holes in the chamois cover to cor
respond and run ribbons through envel
opes and cover to tie them together.
Another fancy made after the same
fashion is a number of decorated cards
tied together in a book. The cards are
long and tied at the ends. The outside
card is decorated with clover blossoms
and labeled in gilt letters, “Baby’s
Progress.” The next leaf has “Baby’s
Birthday,” next “Baby’s Name,” next
“Baby’s Weight,” with spaces for
weight at birth, at one month, at two
months, at six months, etc.; next,
“What Baby First Said,” and last,
“When Baby First Walked,” with tiny
shoes and slippers for decoration at the
foot of the page. This, of course, would
be a dainty gift for the fond young
mother from her sister or dear friend.
These, however, involve some skill in
painting and are of no use to the ordi
nary mortal whose birth was not recog
nized by the color muse.
