AVAILABLE TO ALI
Government Chemist Discovers
a Method Of Liquefying
Natural Gas.

Washington-Bottled light and heat
for use anywhere, in any climate, at a
minimum cost is now possible through
a discovery Of a method of liquefying
natural gas by DR.. Walker A. Smelling,
a government chemist
The discovery paves the way for the
commercial use of millions of cubic
feet of natural gas which goes to
waste in the petroleum fields of the
country.
DIR. Smelling liquefied several hun
dred fee Of the gas. stored it in a
thick glass bottle and lighted his Of
flee in Pittsburgh with 1t for several
months. The cost was less than that
Of ordinary Illuminating gas.
The method by which the gas is
condensed into liquid form is explained
in a pamphlet being distributed gen.
orally through the petroleum fields by
the federal bureau of mines.
The gas is forced into a long coil of
steel piping and then to a compressor
In the compressor 1t is subjected to 700
or 500 pounds to the square inch.
When the gas is completely liquefled
in the course Of several hours it is
drawn off in metal or thick glass con
tanners, capable of sustaining high in
terna1 pressure. In this condition it
can be shipped to any climate. All
.,.al is necessary to obtain the gas is
to tap the plug of the container.
According to the government tx
perts, the commercial possibilities OF
the dicovery are almost unlimited.
The purest form of natural gas
ideal for lighting n heat, is passing
into the air as absolute waste at the
rate Of 1000, GOO. 900 cubic feet a day
in the various petroleum fields of the
country" said DR.. /. s. White, state
geologist Of West Virginia. This
waste ia a national calamity II Is
brought about by uncontrolled gas
wells, petroleum wells, giant fam
beaux and in hundreds of other ways
too numerous to mention.

Jewels in q Fiower-Bed.

The recovery of a quantity Of stolen
jewelry from a fower-bed was de-
scribed at observation-disclosures police
court the other day, when a general
servant was charged with theft from
her mistress, a resident Of ~Ivydeane,
scarborough ?road, Surbiton. London.
The lady had missed a pearl pin and
a pearl and diamond ring. Thinking
she might have lost the jewels in the
street, she issued printed notices OF
fering a reward for their recovery
When she lost a number of othel
things she placed the matter in thu
hands OF the police. The detective
said that from what the prisoner TOLD

A Curious Legend.
From the Strand.

A sculptured stone locally called the
MARITIME" or Dragons Stane," is
supposed to mark the spot where In
ancient days a fierce fight took place
between a young man named Martin
and a dragon, the latter being killed
in the struggle. The scene of the en-
counter is located about six miles north
of Dundee, near to the base of the Sid
law hill, and in the parish of Mains
and Strathmartine. The legend is most
interesting, and is as follows: A farm
err in the district, who was blessed
with nine lovely daughters. one day
sent one OF them to a neighboring well
to fetch him a draught of water. As
she did not return, another was sent
to learn the cause of the delay. Meth
er of them returning. daughter after
daughter was sent, until the whole
nine a been dispatched. The father,
becoming alarmed at the non-return
OF his daughters, then set off himself
to learn the cause of their delay. On
arriving at the spot, he was Mortified
at the spectacle which met his gaze.
His nine daughters lay dead at the
well and a large dragon was throwing
it's Shiny folds around them. The rep
tile, on seeing the father, Kissed loudly,
| and would have made short work of
| him also, had he not saved himself
by flight. He, however, aroused the
| whole neighborhood, and the people
| turned out in n state of great fright.
/! A young man, the sweetheart Of one of
! the lead girls. boldly attacked the
| dragon, which took to fight, holly pur-
| sued by the gallant youth. The dragon
| wiggled it's way toward the hills, and
| was ultimately overtaken by the youth
in a field near the Sidlaws. where he
| killed it outright. 1t is said that dur
| ing the pursuit Martin was followed by
| a crowd of people, who in their ex-
| element shouted simultaneously to
| him to Strike, Martinez" Mar.
| Strike!" The place where the incident
| occurred has been known ever since as
| Strickmartin, now converted into
| Strathmartine. The figures s~culptured
| on the stone are said to represent Mar
| tin in the act of combat with the rep
title.

The Position for Her.

After speaking at great. length on
the emancipation Of women, a young

The address of Mons. Poncar, he French Premier. at he unveiHng of
the Queen Victoria Memorial at Nice N April IL has created a most happy
impression throughout France and England.
Referring to the late King Edward, the Premier said-"It was Edward
VII. who initiated and pursued thisf friendly cooperation between France and
the United Kingdom At the outset of his toe short reign this great King
said to his Frvy Council that while he breathed he would work for the good
of his people. By working for the good of his people he worked for the peace
of the world, for civilization and for the progress of mankind; and when at the
point of death he whispered that he had tried to do his duty. He was wrong
to be overmodest and lot sure enough Of himself, and to imply that while he
knew b had stnven he did not know that he had attained. He tried TO do
his duty and he did his duty Gentlemen, happy the kings OF thu subjects

When one realizes that the heating
value of 1000, 000, 0G0 cubic feet of
natural gas is equivalent to nearly L.
coo, 900 bushels of coal, the enormity of
the waste can be understood. Any dis
covery that will utilize uncontrolled
gas for any sort of commercial pur-
pose, as the Smelling discovery does,
will open a new and profitable field in
the petroleum industry"

Flood Losses Are Heavy.

q =
The county commissioners of Mar
shall county who have just completed
an investigation estimate the recent
flood loss to roads and bridges at $780,
O00 Temporary repairs of roads have
been rushed, but many places where
bridges were washed away fords are
left on the mountain streams that are
impossible, and it will be months be-
fore they can be opened for traffic. In
Elk district, which suffered the most,
seven miles of the northwestern pike
Is damaged and on another hoad sew
eral wooden bridges are gone and
three iron bridges were carried down
stream, one for mile and left a tan
gled mass of iron.
At West Virginia Junction, near
Piedmont, a considerable section Of
road that was hard against an almost
perpendicular mountain is gone. To
cut the road back would mean an
enormous expense, and the whole
mountain side would cave in, and the
only way to repair one of the most
travelled thoroughfares Of the county
would be a bridge across the Potomac
river, which belongs to Maryland, and
the commissioners are up against the
state law prohibiting the use of money
for bridges on streams belonging to
other states.

clemency Is Refused.


Pardon has been refused by the gov
ernor to J. R. Alley, Of Ceredo, sem
fenced to five years in the Moundsyille
penitentiary after conviction for being
an accessory to grand larceny. Alley
was known as q fence" or one who
received stolen property, and three
men convicted of stealing merchan-
disc from the c. & O., b.. & o. andNN.
& w. railroads, gave evidence which
brought about his conviction in the
circuit court of Wayne county at the
may term OF court this year. In his APP
plication for pardon Alley claims that
a box OF shoes found in his possession
which had been stolen from one OF the
railroads, had been purchased from
John McCassady, who claimed not to
have enough money to pay for ex-
pressing them to the town Of Breedon.
Alley claims to have not known the
shoes were stolen. This application
for pardon was filed the first of Au-
gust and Alley is still held in the
Wayne county jail awaiting the find
ing Of the governor in his case. Now
that adverse action has ben taken, the
prisoner will be taken to the peniten-
tiary.

in New England with all her
hallowed memories and traditions,
the movement for industrial up
lift should find expression among
the descendants of the men
whose sacrifices and achievements
contributed SO much to the establish
ment of political independence and
religious freedom on this continent.
While the problem Of labor is one af-
fecting all sections Of our country and
all the countries of the world, yet we
may look to the east, to the men Of
New England, for a voice that, like
that OF the immortal Revere, shall
warn US Of our danger and point the
way to safety.
There are at this time many aspects
of the labor question that deserve and
demand immediate consideration; not
the least OF these being the revision OF
our laws so as to make them compati-
BILE with the changes in our social and
industrial life that have followed the
momentous development of machinery
and methods Of production.
Wage earners must take the initia-
tive in any movement calculated to
promote their own interests or to pro-
tect them against the evils which have
grown out Of the combination and con-
solidation of capital; they must be
both courageous and patient, agrees
sive yet prudent: they must build
their organizations on sound founda-
tions and conduct them on business
lines, and it Is highly important to the
security Of the wage-earners and the
safety of society that women workers
shall be organized, and thus protected
against the demoralizing influences
that have always attended oyerwork,
excessive hours and under-nutrition.
The exhortation Of Wendell Philips
cannot be too strongly emphasized:
Organize and stand together! Let the
nation hear a united demand from the
laboring voice."

the attorney generals department lays
down the general principles governing

Office
Attorney General Garrett already
has held that inasmuch as the prison
commission was created by the act, in
creasing the salary from that fixed in
the old law, the commissioners are en-
titled to the compensation fixed; but
in a separate opinion he held that the
law does rot provide for secretary
to the prison commission. The old
law did, and the omission from the
new law was an oversight. The COM
mission, however, may appoint clerk
OF the school of reform. and as sec
rotary Is necessary, although the at
torney general makes no suggestion,
1t is understood that the secretary will
be given some other designation.
