GAS IN COTTONWOOD TREES
TOpeka CaDital.)

Francis W. Bushong, one of the as
sistant professors of chemistry at the
University of Kansas, has discovered
that the cottonwood tree has natural
gas in large quantities within its
trunk. He found by experiment that
the gas burns with a hotter flame
than the ordinary natural gas, owing
to the presence of free hydrogen, and
that in some cases the flow was strong
enough to be ignited directly from the
tree.
The scientific authorities in Lawrence
say that they have never heard of an
instance where natural gas was ever
noticed in cottonwood trees, although
they agree that there is nothing i'm
probable in the matter. Professor
Bushong thinks that the heart Of all
cottonwood trees decays and that if
there is no outlet to the open air the
ordinary marsh gas which possesses
the same properties as natural gas is
sure to be formed, says the Kansas
City Star.
II have noticed for several years, -
said Professor Bushong, that there
was peculiar rushing noise whenever
a cottonwood tree was cut down and
that a peculiar odor indicated that a
gas of some kind was issuing from
the trunk of the tree. Last week the

university authorities cut down a large
cottonwood tree, which stood too near
a new road which is being built across
the campus. l was standing near when
the wOrkmen We're cutting down the
tree and ! noticed the peculiar odOr
again. l determined to investigate the
matter. We selected a tree about the
size of a mans waist and with an inch
bit bored into the tcenter. The odOr
was present and we screwed an inch
gasDipe into the opening and conducted
the gas into a jar. In five minutes the
lar was full and we took il TO the lab
oratory. [ was greatly surprised to
find that it burned when connected to
a gas jet. The analysis shows that
large percentage Of free hydrogen is
in the gas and a hotter flame than from
ordinary natural gas is sure to result"
So much curiosity was excited among
the university men who are in Law
renee this summer that another set OF
experiments was lately undertaken
The tree which had been tapped"
three days before was again opened. 4
glass lar full of water was inverted in
another larger jar also full of water.
A rubber tube leading from the gas
pipe was placed within the inside jar.
Archie Weith. the assistant Kansas
state water chemist, was present and
closed at the previous time to prevent
the escape of any more gas. Much
doubt was expressed as to the prOba-
bilfty of any more gas collecting in the
tree
You chemistry people are leading
US over here to fool u.s. said one man.
Another was sure that if the gas
had been in the tree at all it had been
extracted the first time. As the stop

showing that the gas was still present,
and when it had been turned complete

pressure forced out the water. In five
minutes the jar was full. and the most
dubious of the spectators was salts
fed
To make sure that this particular
tree was not different from other cot
tonwoods. another one was tested. The
tree chosen was practically the same
size as the other and appeared to be
sound 1t had not d dead limb. When
the hole was bored the odor of escaping
gas was perceptible and the gaspipe
was at once inserted. This time the
gas was ignited as it flowed from the
gaSDipe, and for a minute the pressure
was strong enough to keep bright
blue blaze at the end of the gas burn
er which had been inserted on the rub
Der tube. The spectators were salts
fed. One suggested that the farmers
in the country should plant cottonwood
trees and establish q natural gas plant
in their own cellars. Prof. BushOng
was not sanguine about such plan.
Il hardly think our discovery will
drive the natural gas establishments
out of business" said he, but il is
matter of much scientific interest.
If man had big enough retort he
might collect enough gas for laboratory
purposes. The flame would undoubted-
ly be better than the natural gas
flame owing to the hydrogen"

REFORM IN NEW JERSEY.
Some Important Measures Signed by
Governor Stokes.

Trenton, n. J., Oct. Ex-Governor
Stokes signed today Senator Colby's
bill providing for a popular expression
in the selection of United States sem
atOrs. Under the bill 1000 voters may
file a petition with the secretary of
state endorsing a member of their po-
litical party for that office. Candi-
dates for senator or assemblymen in
filing their acceptances of nominations
may then sign one of two statements,
the first pledging them to vote for the
candidates for United States senator
receiving the highest number of votes
in his county at the party primaries,
and the second pledging him to vote for
the candidate receiving the highest
number of votes in the state at the
party primaries.
The governor also signed the direct
primary bill, which provides for the
nomination of all candidates for Office
except governor, congressman and pres
idential> electors by direct or primary
vote instead of through delegates.

National League Leader Present.

Harry Pulliam, president of the Ma

tation. made a brief speech. in which he
went over the present broad situation.
He said he did not approve of the play
ers of the major leagues playing in Cali
fornia after the close of the regular sea-
son. and stated that National league clubs
had been notified that their players would
not be allowed to do so. Players in Ma
tional league teams who were now play
ing with the Pacific Coast league teams
had been notified to sever their cOnnec-
ton with Pacific coast league teams i'm
mediately, on penalty of being declared
outlaws. He said he was opposed to the
farming of the players and the drafting
by major league clubs of so many men
from minor league clubs.
Referring to the rumor of the forma-
ton of a new major league, he said that
if the flag of dislOyalty to the national
association was raised the loyal leaguers
would be found solidly arrayed against
it and any such effort would be fought to
a finish.

are thirty leagues affiliated with the as
