The Scarlet Plague: Part I (Page 1) The way led along upon what had once been the embankment of a railroad.
But no train had run upon it for many years. The forest on either side swelled up the slopes of the embankment and crested across it in a green wave of trees and bushes. The trail was as narrow as a man's body, and was no more than a wild-animal runway. Occasionally, a piece of rusty iron, showing through the forest-mold, advertised that the rail and the ties still remained.
In one place, a ten-inch tree, bursting through at a connection, had lifted the end of a rail clearly into view. An old man and a boy travelled along this runway. The boy, who led the way, checking the eagerness of his muscles to the slow progress of the elder, likewise wore a single garment--a ragged-edged piece of bearskin, with a hole in the middle through which he had thrust his head. Tucked coquettishly over one ear was the freshly severed tail of a pig. Resources.

Democratic Party politician James Hamilton Lewis, who served as a whip in the U.S. Senate. Addressing his fellow Senators Hamilton Lewis urged full support for the external war against Germany (or 'Prussia' as he termed it) in much the same manner as the internal struggles of the 1860s were similarly resolved successfully. Use the player above to listen to a recording of Lewis's speech from 1917. Call of America Senators, it is the fate of every self-governing people to be tried by two assaults. If a nation cannot survive these assaults, she is overcome by internal revolution, or subjugated by foreign foe. Among modern nations, France survived revolution from within, but was overcome in assault from without under Wellington.
Now sirs, true to the course of history, these United States must meet the assault from without. Then arose her sons to the call of the flag.
Rock. Peak Oil Websites. Revolutionary discovery means world may not run out of crude. A team of scientists based at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have made a "revolutionary" discovery about how hydrocarbon is formed, learning that animal and plant fossils are not necessary to form crude oil.
The discovery, the scientists say, means that the world will never run out of crude oil. Currently, theory states that crude oil is formed very slowly - over millions of years - from the remains of dead plants and animals. Buried under rock, over time the pressure and temperature of natural earth processes results in the creation of crude oil. But that theory is now old news, as the scientists, led by Vladimir Kutcherov, say they have proven that fossilized plants and animals are not needed to create hydrocarbons. “Using our research we can even say where oil could be found in Sweden,” Kutcherov told Science Daily.
