The vehicle by which this com-pound is carried is the natural lubricantdrawn from the subterranean deposits inthe neighborhood of Franklin, Pa. It isthus evident that the product of theGalena works is not only naturally butartificially endowed with qualities whichrender it superior to any ordinary lubri-cating oil. In this connection it is interesting tostate that the word Galena, which isused in the name of this well knowncompany, comes from the name of anore of lead and it is no doubt the use retains its characteristic as a lubricantunder all circumstances are great ad-vantages in themselv
