Natural Gas Fires.

One of Stanley Waterloos stories of
prehistoric times contains description
Of the region known among the cave
men as the "fire country," where blue
and red flames leaped from cracks IN
the ground. The young readers of the
story of Alb might find in mineral Re

published by the United States geologi-

Chittaeong. British India, where nat
ural gas blazes from crevices in the
ground The gas has been burning SO
long that the oldest inhabitant can
give no idea of when il was set on fire.
The general belief among the natives
is that the gas has been on fire for cen
turtles. At any rate, il has been burn
inc as far back as any records have
been kept BY white people. II is now
surqested-and some steps have been
taken to carry out the suggestion-that
the fire be extinguished and the gas be
brought under control and piped down
to Chittagong for light and fuel and
power. The citizens Of Chittagong have
concluded that It would he cheaper to
utilize the gas than to introduce cleo

STOPPING A NoSEBLEED.
BY This Method II Is Simply Matter

In many experiments carried on dur

following experiment has been tried
as many as ten times by me and has
not failed once.

The explanation is that when we

UNcoMpAHGRE REGION MAPPED.
Topographic Sheet Issued by the United
States Geological Survey.

A good example Of the science OF topo-
graphic map making may be seen III
the map of ihe uncompal gre quadran-
gle Colorado. recently engraved and Just
printed on the grest photographic presses
OF the United States geological survey.
The area covered by the map is one OF
the most rugged of the Rocky mountain
region. 1t includes stretch Of the
Black CANYON OF Gunnison river. portions
of the Gunnison national forest, the
Jncompahgre national forest, and the
Cochetopa national forest. The north
ern portion of the quadrangle IS ira
yersed by the main line Of the Denver
Ia Rio Grande railroad, and the Lake
CITY branch of that railroad crosses it
from north to south Several hundred
elevations are voted on the map, and
the altitude of any point in the area
can be determined at glance, with ap.
proximate accuracy, by examination OF
the contour lines.
Wild and rugged as the Uncompahgre
country is, the traveller or the camper,
with one of these maps in hand, could
locate himself at once in any part of
the area. L is high country indeed,
many of the plateaus and lakes being
1000 or 10000 feet above the sea. A
number Of peaks in the eastern portion
OF the quadrangle, to the south Of the
mining district. are termed "hills"
such as Milton hill, Iron hill, and Ru.

shows them to be higher by several
thousand feet than the most lofty noun,

States. Uncomphagre peak. with an al.
titude of l4.306 feet. is the highest point

If you are getting thin, you are sick,

Obituary.

After about four months of illness,
caused by senile gangrene, Marcus
Swayne Waite of Calais, died Wednes-
day, May 3, at the home of his son,
w n. Waite of Woodbury.. Mr. Waite
was born in West Windsor, VT, May 2,
1927. He was the youngest of nine chill
dren and lived to be four years older
than any of them. He married Mary
Ann Parker, March Is, lS40. He then
moved to Calais. where he has spent
nearly all OF the remainder OF his life.
A few days before he died, he stated
that there was no man living on the
east side of Calais who was here when
he moved here sixty-two years ago. In
his younger days he was popular as a
singing school master and horse trainer,
though his principal vocation was farm
ing, at which he was noted as a steady
worker.
During the sixtytwo years OF married
life, practically no sickness has visited
the family until March 10, 1910, when
Mrs. Waite fell and broke her hip, which
has crippled her for the remainder of
her life. Mr. Waite leaves his wife, his
only child, w. II. Waite, and two grand
children to mourn his loss.
