 Cubic Yards Have Escaped

It is not known exactly what are the
 intentions of the Hungarian minister of
 finance as to the utilization of the
 natural gas in Pennsylvania, several
 million cubic yards of which have al
 ready escaped, but it is likely that be-
 foe the end of the year the gas will
 be in use in one or more of the towns
 and industrial plants in the immediate
 vicinity of the wells. The gas pro
 ducing region comprises some $500
 square miles, and the government has
 so far put in over twenty wells, vary ing in depth from one thousand to
 330O feet. It is thought that the sup
 ply of gas will last for at least fifty years Eventually the gas will De brought to Budapest, although prob ably not for a few years. In any case, as soon as 1t appears that the public is to have natual gas placed at it's lis posal there will be an immediate de- mand for meters, purifiers, pip $, valves, stoves, burners-in short for everything used in the exploitation of natural gas There is no reason why American manufacturers. if they em ploy the proper methods, should not have the bulk of this business, as the Ameican preeminence in this line of manufacture is geerally recognized in this country-Consular and Trade Re ports.
