Wilson Men Inventors.

r. H. Reed and j. H. Long, two of
Wilson's business men, have invented
and patented an apparatus for preven-
ton of fire from lightning to oil tanks.
The prime cause of fire loss in ths
oil field is usually due to lightning
striking gas which rises from the
tanks to high point in the air above.
When lightning strikes this gas the
fire follows the gas down to the oil
in the tank and sets it afire.
Messrs. Reed and Long claim to
have an apparatus that will carry this
gas away from the tanks to trap on
the ground, where it can be used or
stored At least the claim is that it
can be so controlled that the damage
of fire from this source is reduced to
the minimum.
The inventors go to Tulsa next
week, where they will demonstrate
their invention before a gathering of
oil men and insurance people, Wilson
