recent discovery OF q method Of hqui-
tying natural gas by DR.. Walter A.
Smelling. the noted government chem

the way for commercial use OF mil

go to waste in the petroleum fields OF

This discovery was only made after
DR.. Smelling had liquified several
hundred cubic feet OF the gas. stored
1t in a thick glass bottle, and lighted
his of ce In Pittsburg with II for sew
eral months. The cost was less than
common illuminating gas. The method
of liquification has been embodied In
pamphlet by the Federal bureau Of
mines. and Is now being distributed
generally through the petroleum fields.
The gas is gathered from petroleum
deposits by pump and forced into a
long coil of steel piping and then to
a compressor. being gradually cooled
two degrees centigrade. At the same
time the gas In the compressor IL SUBJ
jected to between seven and eight
hundred pounds to the square inch.
