A Wilmington DEL. special of jan

Bsnnett a chemist of Wilmington.
the gasoline monopoly in this country
is over, and a concern in New York,
which purchased a secret process of
Bennett for producing gas, will con-
troll matters. Bennett told friends
that he had sold the invention to a
New York syndicate for $1,000. 900
and showed the check, his friends
said, for 500. 600 on account. Ben
nett's invention is a solidified gas,
which is made into pellets of black
color and the size Of peas. These are
dissolved and furnish gas. A cigar
box Of the pellets, according to the
story which Bennett told his friends,
would cost $50. giving fair profit
for making and would take an auto
mobile across the continent. Seventy
five per cent. of the cost of gasoliu,
would be saved by the use of thes
pellets.

in view of the fact, as we understand IT, that
