MAKING GASOLINE FROM GAS
Pennsylvania Company Has Erected
Plant for the Purpose-Ship-
nents 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 a day, but they have been
producing for long time and as the
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 injuring 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 its high gray
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 800
pounds pressure. It is planned TO sell
this compressed gas in the same man
ner as Blau gas or Pintsch gas is now
sold.-Wall Street Journal.

FISH Indifferent TO NOISE
Popular Belief Of Anglers 10 DIsproved
by Scientific Inquiry Recently
Conducted.

Contrary to general opinion, a num-
Der of motor boats cruising about a
harbor with more or less noisy engines
have no appreciate effect upon the
fish in nearby waters. II has long been
thought. particularly by fishermen,
that the presence of a noisy motor
boat would drive the fish away. Ex-
haustive experiments recently conduct
ed by the bureau of fisheries prove
this theory to be incorrect.
In testing the effect of motor-boat
noises on fish a number of young soup,
known to be sensitive to sounds, were
placed in a large wooden cage This
cage was fastened in quiet water at
the end of a wharf. and a motor boat
with a very noisy engine was run at
varying distances past the cage. At
no time did the fishes appear to be
disturbed by the noise, except when
the splash from the boat hit the cage.
Then the soup would generally dive
to the bottom of the eceptacle-Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

By FRANK FILSON
iOQDDDDCDQnD!

SCopyrght, lslo. by w. u. Chapman)
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
automaton. When his sympathetic
approaches were coldly repealed he
hated Miss Nan. What right had a
girl to have face like that, and won
derful red-brown hair, IL she had q
heart like an icicle?
Miss Nan, although her woman's in
tuition told her that the house surgeon
liked her, trusted rather to her brain,
which asked her how she could be
sure. Wasn't 1t her impulsive heart
asked the brain, that read into Charles
Abbott's actions sentiments which
were not there? Then Miss Nan would
freeze up hard and Charlie Abbott
would call himself a double-dyed fool

knew that somehow she had come to
love the house surgeon and every
sight of him made her heart ache.
After that she hardly said word to
him.
Sometimes humor proves a solvent
1t is strange, but-well, 1t happened
SO.
Nan had been shifted Unexpectedly
to the babies ward. She had charge
of half dozen infants, ranging in age
from one week to twelve days. She
received her instructions; the chart
over each infants bed was to be filed
out and replaced; at certain hour
the mothers were to see their OFF,
spring, etc. Just then, as Miss Nan
was about to settle herself in her
chair, Charlie Abbott came in.

Miss Nan sat down. These inter
views were always painful ones. Her
heart was beating like a watch-a
loud-ticking one. She filled out the
charts and went around the room,
hanging them up upon the beds. Then
she took out the babies, one by one,
made them ready for the night and
replaced them, All the while Charlie
Abbott's photograph hung in a promi-
nent place upon the wall of her men,
DRY, the consequence being that she
walked round the room the opposite
way when she replaced the babies.

Washington, May 4.-The delicate
diplomatic situation which now exists
has its amusing side and politicians
are wondering today what material
it will furnish for the spellbinders in
the cominb national campaign If the
country finds itself plunged into war
before the election, the Democratic
spellbinders naturally will not talk
about peace achievements; if war is
avoided they will make the most of it.
OF course the Republicans will take
just the opposite view adopted by the
Democrats. so that the situation is
amusing, to say the least. In adj,
