Shells Help Oil Geologist.
The little jellylike animals which
the scientist calls Foraminlfera swarm
so abundantly in the sea that their
tiny cast-off shells in some places |
make up a considerable part of the
sediments which are laid down on
the sea bottom and which in time
may become beds of rock in a land
area. The small size and the com
pactness of these shells protect them
from some of the accidents that be
fall the remains of larger animals, so
that in many samples of well borings
the Foraminlfera are the only shells
that have survived in recognizable!
form the vicissitudes of drilling. In
the hands of the specialist trained to
Identify fossils, the Foraminifera
may furnish the only available clue
to the age of rock inclosing them
and consequently to the existence of
strata or structure favorable or un
favorable to the accumulation of oil,
gas or water, according to the United
States geological survey.
How Word “Booze” Originated.
In the Pennsylvania museum, Memo
rial hall in Fairmount park, Phila
delphia, can be seen a collection of
highly decorated old bottles, and the
one which attracts most attention is
the log cabin whisky bottle, molded in
the shape of a house. On one end is
the inscription “120 Walnut street,
Philadelphia,” together with the date,
which is “1S40,” on the front of the
roof. On the back is stamped in bold
letters, “E. G. Booz’s old cabin
whisky.”
This erstwhile vendor of spirituous
liquor is said to be responsible for
the use in America of the slang ap
pellation “booze,” by which all kinds
of intoxicating drinks are known to
day. Although some etymologists give
it as being derived from the Hindu
stani word “booza,” meaning to drink,
while others claim it is from the
Dutch “huyzen” to tipple. The term
was good English in the fourteenth
century.
Confectionery of Ancient Egypt.
The invention of confectionery, an
English writer guesses, is due to Noah,
who “first hit on the idea of boiling
down the starch of the wheat and the
juice of the grape. The result was
a paste, said to be the original of
our present day ‘Turkish delight.’
Among the ancient Egyptians whole
fruits, particularly figs and dates,
were used for flavoring purposes, the
latter especially for preserves and
cakes. In old tombs date sweet
meats have been found, also records
of honey jellies. The making of con
fectionery, in fact, goes back 3,400
years, proof of which is to be found
on the walls of Egyptian tombs.”
