The most profitable customers that

fitted for domestic uses. as every wo-

flame has realized. If she has ever had

then, but we have free press in Japan
now Our newspapers are just as in

American press and every printing es-

up-to-date apparatus. The facilities for
collecting news are in line with the best

How are we handling the war news?
Well, in very much the same fashion. 1

they hurry the news back to the central

As Motive Power.
One of the most effective uses to
which natural gas has been put is as
motive power for engines. The natural
gas engine came into favor about ten
years ago. when it's use was first en-
ployed in pumping wells. Afterward, in
forms OF magnitude ranging from to
500 horsepower, It was extensively intro

economy and reliability.
1t has in many cases replaced the
steam engine and boiler. Owing to the
large number of points that are often
widely separated and are difficult to
supply with other fuel, IL is particularly
applicable TO the pumping of oil wells
and to driving pipeline pumps.
The Best Illuminant
In connection with a mantle of aka
line earth, natural gas has produced the
cheapest and best Hlmninant known. All
natural gas has not, however, the same
Illuminating value. In some districts It
carries a small percentage of the heavier
hydro-Ca rbOns, which add much TO its
illumina ting properties.
Only one article Is manufactured from
natural gas. That is lampblack. for
which a considerable quantity Of the an
