               {Petroleum}. The vegetable oils are of two classes,
               {essential oils} (see under {Essential}), and {natural
               oils} which in general resemble the animal oils and
               fats. Most of the natural oils and the animal oils and
               fats consist of ethereal salts of glycerin, with a
               large number of organic acids, principally stearic,
               oleic, and palmitic, forming respectively stearin,
               olein, and palmitin. Stearin and palmitin prevail in
               the solid oils and fats, and olein in the liquid oils.
               Mutton tallow, beef tallow, and lard are rich in
               stearin, human fat and palm oil in palmitin, and sperm
               and cod-liver oils in olein. In making soaps, the acids
               leave the glycerin and unite with the soda or potash.
  
      {Animal oil}, {Bone oil}, {Dipple's oil}, etc. (Old Chem.), a
            complex oil obtained by the distillation of animal
            substances, as bones. See {Bone oil}, under {Bone}.
  
      {Drying oils}, {Essential oils}. (Chem.) See under {Drying},
            and {Essential}.
  
      {Ethereal oil of wine}, {Heavy oil of wine}. (Chem.) See
            under {Ethereal}.
  
      {Fixed oil}. (Chem.) See under {Fixed}.
  
      {Oil bag} (Zo[94]l.), a bag, cyst, or gland in animals,
            containing oil.
  
      {Oil beetle} (Zo[94]l.), any beetle of the genus {Meloe} and
            allied genera. When disturbed they emit from the joints of
            the legs a yellowish oily liquor. Some species possess
            vesicating properties, and are used instead of
            cantharides.
  
      {Oil box}, [or] {Oil cellar} (Mach.), a fixed box or
            reservoir, for lubricating a bearing; esp., the box for
            oil beneath the journal of a railway-car axle.
  
      {Oil cake}. See under {Cake}.
  
      {Oil cock}, a stopcock connected with an oil cup. See {Oil
            cup}.
  
      {Oil color}.
      (a) A paint made by grinding a coloring substance in oil.
      (b) Such paints, taken in a general sense.
