The operation is then repeated with a fresh sample of oil, fresh water being used in the outer vessel, the source of heat being removed when a temperature approaching that obtained in the first experiment has been reached. A fire-test. See petroleum-tester. Oil-well. The first borings for oil were made at Titusville, Pa., 1859, by Mr. E. L. Drake. Previous to this the petroleum was collected by blankets on the surface of springs and bottled for medicinal use. Nothing was then known of its use for lighting or lubricating. Mr. Drake had great difficulty in obtaining competent drillers, so absurd was deemed the project of searching for a basin of oil beneath the surface. He then gave out that he was boring for a salt-well. He originated the practice of driving a tube to the rock, instead of excavating and cribbing
