GAS cALoRIMETRY

For many years all laws and regu-
lations relating to manufactured gas
were based on CandlepOwer require
ments, /. e., the gas burned in a def
mite burner at the rate OF cubic
feet per hour was required to give a
specified illumination OF so many
candlepOweT This sanCtitication fur
nished a perfectly satisfactory con-
troll of the quality of gas delivered so
long as the gas was chiefly used for
Illuminating purposes with the old,
style of open-fiame gas burner. AT
the present time. however, this inettl-
cient type of burner has been very
largely displaced by burners OF the
Welsbach mantle type. Furthermore,
a large amount of the gas sold today
is used for cooking purposes and to
some extent for operating small gas
engines for power purposes. In these
applications of gas it is the heating
value that is of first importance and
net the candlepOwer. 1t has been eS-
timated that less than % ner cent of
the gas manufactured and sold today
indeed in many of our cities and
towns less than 10 per cent, is used
in the old type of open-fiame gas
Dul IltlS' ANOb Ihlc AttNN
we still find in most of our cities and
towns ordinances on the statute books
requiring that the gas meet a definite
candlepower test, while no attention
has been given to the question of
heating value, which is the important
factor for over so per cent Of the gas
sold. Many of the CandlepOwer re-
quirements fixed by law are quite
high. often requiring the manufacture
of an expensive OiEenriChed gas,
which NAV not be the most ccOnOmi-
cal gas to the public. The importance
of the heating value OF TIE gas is nov
being quite generally recognized, and
where new legislation has been adopt
ed recently and where public service
commissions have considered the
question of gas regulation and have
gotten to the point of issuing rCgula-
tions, the heating value standard Is
being generally adopted. supplement-
ed in some cases by moderate can.
dlepOwer standard. the latter with d
view to atfording the necessary pro
lection TO those who still use the
open-fame burner.
in view of the growing importance
Of the question OF heating values Of
gases from the manufacturing the
legislative, the inspecting, and the
economic sides, the Bureau Of STAND
ards, OF the department Of commerce..
started several years ago an exhaust
i've investigation OF the instruments
widely used in this country and
abroad to measures the heating val
ues of gases. with view to determin
ing the sources Of error to which the
instruments are liable, the important
precautions to be observed in their
use, and the accuracy attainablc with
them This investigation has now
been completed, and the RESULTS will
be published in a forthcoming tech
nolOgiC paper. reprints of which may
be obtained BY those interested in
the subject by addressing written
request to that Bureau. 1t is expect,
cd that the paper will come from the
press about June list.

THE TAMPIco INCIDENT

Some may wonder" says the Chi
cago lnterOcean, why such affairs
as that at Tampico should call for
sterner action than the murder OF an
American citizen or the ASSASSINATION
of foreign resident who had been
put under our special protection. The
reason Is that murder may be the
act of irresponsibles. II may be com
mitted in Chicago as well as In Chi
huahua. The Tampico outrage was
committed by responsible subordinat-
es of an existing Mexican govern
ment. II was a governmental act. II
was an assault not upon an individual
but upon this nation II was an inten-
tional and contemptuous insult TO the
majesty OF the American Republic.
The American people and their
government have been long suffering
with Mexico. We have protected Mex
leo against the consequences OF her
own insolence and violence. We have
been tolerant OF her childish con-
tempt of power that the Mexican
masses are too ignorant to under
stand. Further patience would be
interpreted In Mexico as craven sub
mission. The cup Of Mexican trans
gression has been filed to overflow

iron hand must close.

had desire of Mexican conquest,

Just like he did today.

And kneeling In the dirt,
He lubTiCates a rod of soil,
His trousers and his shirt.
He scrapes the siCkles with a file,
And tests them on his thumb,
And chuCkles with merry smile,

He says TO mother, Now see here,
I'll keep this lawn in trim;
You've got enough to do, my dear"
But ma Is wise to him.
She's well aware that no such thing
Is likely to occur;
Because he says that every spring
And leaves the job for her.
Then mother hustles out forthwith.
And trims il all up fine,
And father says to neighbor Smith,
