To Measure Natural Gas.

When natural gas was first brought into use in America there seemed to be a general idea that the supply was inexhaustible. It was sold at low rates and usually without measure ment. This method encouraged waste in the consumption of gas, and was shortly abandoned by the larger com panies. To-day nearly all consump- tion is sold by measurement. It is believed that the time has now come when it is possible to procure stads- tics of the quantity of gas consumed. and next year this will be undertaken. The method will give such figures in the future that more direct knowl- edge will be obtained of the capacity of gas areas to maintain commer- cial supply of gas for certain num- Der of years.-Iron Age.
