MAKING GASOLINE FROM GAS
Pennsylvania Company Has Erected
Plant for the Purpose-Ship-
ments Are Quite Large.

Out in Pennsylvania a company has
erected plant for the extraction of
the gasoline from natural gas and has
contracted for the gas from about 400
wells. The wells are small, the total
production being less than a million
cubic feet day, but they have been
producing for a long time and as the
gas comes from sand 100 feet in
thickness their life is said to be good
for an indefinite time. The gasoline
company puts the gas through its com
pressors and then sells 1t to a large
glass factory near by, the taking out
of the gasoline not iniuring the gas
in any way for fuel. The gas is put
under 300 pounds pressure to the
square inch, which forces out the gaso-
line, which is carried into tanks and
blended with naphtha, rendering the
gasoline safe to ship, as without this
blending it would be as dangerous as
nitroglycerin owing to it's high grav-
ity. The shipments of gasoline from
the plant are running about 100000
gallons a month and ten tank cars are
required to care for the production
The same company also has put in a
high-pressure compressor at the plant,
which will be used in COMPRISING the
natural gas into steel TASKS under 500
pounds pressure. It is planned to sell
this compressed gas in the same man.

Miss Nan Keller concealed a very
warm heart beneath her prim exterior.
Some of us are born shy, and Miss
Nan was afflicted that way. In all her
four years at the hospital she had
never succeeded in endearing herself
to anybody. And like most shy peo-
pie, she craved sympathy, which she
seemed destined never to get.
She got -sometimes-from the
house surgeon. Charlie Abbott had
been two years in the General hospital
and he was to leave in June, to take
over his fathers practice. He had
adored Miss Nan from the moment he
first saw her-sometimes Sometimes
she seemed to him like an animated

approaches were coldly repealed he
