RULE PLANS
ARE MADE PUBLIC

LONDON, April Undressing de-
tails Of the coming home rule bill were
published yesterday IN the authority
of a prominent Nationalist member of
Parliament, who says all outstanding
difficulties regarding the financial pro-
visions of the bill have been settled
between the cabinet and the Irish
leaders.
The bill provides for two houses OF
Parliament in Dublin and representa-
ton by about forty members at West
minister. There will be no direct ON
tribution to the imperial revenue. The
imperial control of the excise and Gus
toms will continue, with local power to
vary the duties, the old-age pensions
and land purchase to remain an I'M
perial responsibility. Ireland will have
no power to impose duties on British
goods.
On the question of complete fiscal
autonomy there remains a big differ
ence of opinion on the government side,
while the extreme Nationalists demand
a complete control of the customs and
excise.

LOS ANGELES, April 5.-The city
of Los Angeles is much upset as a re-
suit of the gold strike made by H. Nc
Avany, a cigar clerk, in the gutter in
front of the Broadway store where he
works.
McAvany, noticing tiny particles of
sparkling matter in the mud as he
stood on the curb with j. w. Angus
tine, a barber, who works next door,
scooped up a small tobacco box full
of the sediment, and they took 1t into
the barber shop.
Having heard of the tenderfoot who
always finds his fortune in gold, which
later turns out to be mica or pyrites,
McAvany placed the gravel, a double
handful, in a pan and washed out the
sand. The small particles, some having
the appearance of lace, others as small
as dust, which had been dug from q
pocket, sparkled and shone.
McAvany called an assayer acquaint-
ance, senior member of the firm of
Wade & Wade. and after a short in
spection he declared that it was gold
and the quantity in the gravel made
the deposit rich.
During the remainder of the after
noon crowds gathered along the gut
ter from Second to First streets IN
Broadway and wherever a small hand
ful of gravel could be gathered there
were the particles of the standard
metal also.
Now all Los Angeles is trying to find
out where the gold came from. The
gravel in which it was found could
have been carried from a number of
places. First street, west of Hill street,
is unpaved n the storm waters tore
deep ruts in this street which in sew
eral places went down to the gravel.
Then there is an excavation on Broad
way, almost in front of the hall of
records, and gravel has been shoveled
out here. Much of this was washed
away during the terrific downpour of
the recent storm and it is not improb-
able that the precious particles could
have been carried from there.

GONE, SHIP

Thomas Daven and his crew of fifty

from Huelva. Spain, bound for this
place. Captain Davsn when at the
local pilot office yesterday afternoon
showed signs of overwork and worri-
ment, as did the crew Of the vessel,
anchored off this city.
The first week of sailing was some
what rough, but the veteran seamen
did not mind 1t. On the fifteenth day
out the Inca ran into worst gale that
Captain Daven has ever experienced.
After taking observations I con-
cluded we were in for It," said the
captain, land Immediately settled down
to hard work. All the loose rigging and
small boats were made secure and
preparations made for a long battle.
On the fifteenth and sixteenth days to
the ninteen days out none of us had
any sleep whatsoever. The boat was
tossed from side to side and we sew
eral times made preparations to leave
as we thought the cargo of ore would
shift to one side and the craft turn
turtle. More than once the boat filed
with water and men worked the pumps
for hours at time. In midst of a hur-
ricane the rudder was snapped and the
boat was at mercy of the waves as
long as the gale continued. We did the
best we could" continued the captain.

BUY LIGHT AND
HEAT IN BOTTLES

WASHINGTON, April 8. - Bottled
light and heat hat can be utilized any
where In n climate at a minimum
cost is now possible through a recent
discovery Of a method of li%quefying
natural gas by DR.. Walker A. Smell
Ing, the noted government chemist. In
cidentally the discovery paves the way
for commercial use of millions of cubic
feet of natural gas that goes to waste
in the petroleum fields of the country.
The discovery was only made after
DR.. Smelling had liquefled several hun
dred cubic feet OF the gas, stored it
In a thick glass bottle and lighted his
office in Pittsburg with 1t for several
months. The cost was less than COM
mon illuminating gas. The method of
l~iquefactlon has been embodied In a
pamphlet by the federal bureau of
mines and is now beirs distributed
generally through the petroleum fields.
The gas is gathered from petroleum
deposits by a pump and forced into a
long coil of steel piping and then to
a compressor, being gradually cooled
down. At the same time the gas in
the compressor is subjected to between
700 and 800 pounds pressure to the
square inch. When the gas reaches a
complete state of l~iquefaction it Is
drawn off in metal or thick glass con-
tainers capable Of resisting high inter-
nal pressure. In this condition 1t can
be shipped to any climate.
According to the government ex-
perts the commercial possibilities of the
discovery are unlimited.
THE purest form of natural gas,
ideal for lighting n heat, is passing
into the air as absolute waste at the
rate of a billion cubic feet a day
throughout the petroleum fields Of the
country said DIR. I. S. White, state
geologist of West Virginia
This waste Is a national calamity.
It comes from uncontrolled gas wells,
petroleum wells, giant flambeaux and
hundreds of other ways too numerous
to mention. When one realizes that the
heating value of a billion cubic feet OF
natural gas is equivalent to nearly a
million bushels of coal the enormity OF
the waste can be imagined. Any dis
covery that will utilize uncontrolled
gas for any sort of commercial purpose
such as the Smelling discovery, will
open up a new and profitable field in
the petroleum industry"
