MORE USE OF NATURAL GAS
Government to Conduct Experiments
With View Of Determining the
Possibilities.

The government has at last seen the
wonderful possibilities in the use of
natural gas in many industries, and
has established bureau at Pittsburgh
for the purpose of making experiments
in the more efficient use OF the fuel in
industry. says the Wall Street Journal.
One Of the lines along which the bu-
reau is working is In the use OF natural
gas in firing porcelain. Our manufac-
turers have learned the secret OF fash.
ioning porcelain. but the firing has
been so expensive that the American
ware cannot compete with that from
Europe and Japan. the latter country,
since the outbreak of the war furnish
ing practically all the porcelain
shipped to the United States.
The experimental work at Pitts.
burgh Is something the government
has often been asl.ed to do which It
has declined until the present" said
natural gas man the other day. with
a thorough federal investigation into
the possibilities OF natural gas as
manufacturing medium, many invest
ments which have been transitory in
Ia oN'Ni Sah 10 hhue permanent
With increased efficiency It will be
profitable TO pipe natural gas from long
distances to the field OF utilization, ard
an increase in the price would not be
resented by these consumers. There
are many manufacturing towns in
Pennsylvania and other states that
have been partially abandoned because
of the decrease in their natural gas
supply. The federal investigation
opens the possibility OF such places be-
ing made permanent Investments"

MAKES AN ARTIFICIAL SILK
Recent Invention by a Japanese That
10 Of Considerable Importance
to the World.

What appears to be an original
method OF producing artificial silk Is
due to the Japanese inventor. Kishi.
The process is based on the use OF
the commercial substance known as
chrysalis oil or essence. and the impor
tant point is that this oil shall be re-
fined by a special method so as to
have It in the pure state. The sub
stance thus obtained is mixed with
solution of nitro-cellulose, which lat
ter comes from mulberry bark or other
parts OF this tree, and he specially rec
ommends the use OF mulberry paper.
A solution of cellulose OF this origin
is obtained by dissolving in a proper
solvent such as alcohol and ether. The
silk fiber is made from this liquid on
the customary process by forcing II
through a very fine hole. and he claims
that such an artificial silk comes the
nearest to the original In luster. and
1t has great fiexibility

one IN new Jersey that has lived
through the winter On October rs It
was found In the Bellah house under
a lace curtain. Mrs Bellah placed the
little thing in a small box with a net
ting over It rather than put It outdoors
to freeze.
To her surprise the butterfly lived.
SO she then put II in a large hatbox
with netting over the top and sprinkled
the netting with sugar and water. The
butterfly is a dark reddish brown.
with pale yellow and blue splashes
near the end OF its wings. When
asleep or when its wings are closed
II resembles a dried leaf. Mrs. Bel.
lah finds that the butterfly sleeps most
OF the time. but she never fails to put
II in the sunshine every bright day
and to give It sweetened water. AS
soon as the sun warns 1t up the but.
tertly opens its wings and flies back
and forth in its cage. thus taking its
daily exercise. II is considered re-
markable that the butterfly has sur
vived. even with the tender care that
has been bestowed upon 1t.

Since the war began the submarine.
measured by its power over human

So swift has been its development
that the first instance of submarine

But like many other inventions only
recently perfected. the submarines
history goes back many generations,
as far back as the reign OF James l,

SUPREME COURT IS GOAL SOUGHT
 BY MARSHALL

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. Vice President Thomas R. Marshall of In- diana has an ambition above all things else to be on the bench of the Su- preme Court of the United States.
 To attain this ambit on he would sacrifice gladly any and all political ambitions he may have now or may entertain for the future.
 It Is not improbable that the way may be cleared for Mir. Marshall to attain the coveted seat on the Su- preme bench and don the ermine of the greatest and most powerful ju- dietary forum on earth.
 eill Would Enlarge Court
 There IS being considered by the Senate judiciary committee bill to Increase the membership of the Stu preme Court to eleven members, the court now consisting of nine members It is under consideration also to frame the law SO there shall be compulsory retirement of the associate justices when they shall have attained the age of 70 years instead of leaving such retirement discretionary with the individual judge.
 No change in the Constitution Is re- quired to Increase the number of the members of the Supreme Court or to require their retirement on full payment at a specific age. All that is needed is an act of Congress, ap- proved by the President.

FIGHT AGAIN ON FOR WATFR RIGHT
 OF GOLD CREEK

A protest has been filed In the local land office by the Ebner Gold Mining Company against the application for patent of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company for tho T, D. and Top lode claims. under thoir survey number SPA.
 Tho protest alleges that these claims are in direct controversy with land already owned by the Ebner Company under Q patent granted to them May 5, 1S9O which gave them the title to the Grand Review, Jewel, Taku Gold and Silver, Keystone. Crown Point and Golden Fleece lode mining claims. An adverse claim was also filed against the same application by the Ebner Company on account of conflict with the Fractional Lode, the latter being unpatented. It was located by Fl. T. Tripp in 1890, ac- cording to the allegations of the pro test.
 An interesting legal point will be brought out in this controversy as to the jurisdiction of certain offices. The contest over the Fractional Lode win be fought out in tho District Court as 1t Is unpatented ground, but the others, which are patented will probably come under the jurisdiction of the land office. This point will have to be determined.
 The Ebner and Alaska Juneau com panies have been engaged In a legal battle in the courts for several years over the rights to certain water taken from Gold Creek, in which case de- cision was awarded the Ebner Com pany In the local district court. An appeal was taken and the case will now come up before the Appellate Court at San Francisco.
