Here about 120,000 gallons of crude oil are produced weekly, and among the various works in Scotland about 800,000 tons of shale are distilled per annum, producing nearly 30,000,000 gallons of crude oil, from which about 12,000,000 gallons of refined burning oil are obtained in addition to the large quantities of naphtha, solid paraffine, ammonia, and other chemical products.
Mixed with paraffine it can be molded into real bayberry candles, ever so much more odorous than those of commerce. It is well to remember in buying paraffine that there are three qualities of it, differing mainly in the degree of heat at which they melt. Choose that which is hardest to melt for candle-making.
In this way it is, also, that orange and lemon chips are preserved. Mold can be prevented from forming on fruit jellies by pouring a little melted paraffine over the top. When cool, it will harden to a solid cake, winch can be easily removed when the jelly is used, and saved to use over again another year. It is perfectly harmless and tasteless.
Upon soaking half an hour, it was removed from the paraffine and the jute serving was bound back again; then the armour a steel wire spiral jacket was replaced, the spirals winding back into their original position with the greatest ease.
As though in answer to this thought, they heard a tuneful duet, and a moment later came a vigorous ring on the doorbell. "You go up and let them in, will you, Doughnuts?" said Bob. "I want to melt this paraffine and get things started right away." "Sure I will!" And Jimmy hastened off, returning a few minutes later with the missing members of the quartette.
I considered that he, who would one day have the honor of calling himself Arsene Lupin, ought to be exempt from the ordinary laws governing appearance and identity. Appearance? That can be modified at will. For instance, a hypodermic injection of paraffine will puff up the skin at the desired spot. Pyrogallic acid will change your skin to that of an Indian.
It is reception night at the palace of the Duchess Valerie du Bellairs. The apartments are flooded with a mellow light from paraffine candles in solid silver candelabra. The company is the most aristocratic and wealthy in Paris. Three or four brass bands are playing behind a portiere between the coal shed, and also behind time.
It must be paraffine on his trousers that had caught fire on the stairs. Of course his legs were wet with paraffine! He smacked the flicker with his hand to put it out, and felt his leg burn as he did so. But his trousers still charred and glowed. It seemed to him necessary that he must put this out before he cut his throat. He put down the razor beside him to smack with both hands very eagerly.
And that oil oozed up and ruined the sunset; and as for the moonbeams, they positively reeked of paraffine. We tried to get away from it at Marlow. We left the boat by the bridge, and took a walk through the town to escape it, but it followed us. The whole town was full of oil. We passed through the church-yard, and it seemed as if the people had been buried in oil.
This squeezed all superfluous paraffine from between the plates, and held the whole assembly very securely and neatly. "That looks fine so far," said Jimmy, critically. "But how do you mean to connect up all those tabs on the plates?" "I guess about the only way will be to solder them," replied Bob. "I used to have a soldering iron around here somewhere."
