Abstract
IN a recent number of NATURE there was a note on the subject of ants in general and white ants in particular (they are not ants, but that does not matter, as they are “so called”), in which it is said that the Admiralty has decided in favour of “blue oil.” Blue oil is the residue left in the distillation of mineral oils after the isolation of kerosine (called petroleum in England) and paraffin. I therefore venture to give you my experience in regard to the same and as to some other cognate matters.
