Liquid Fuel Is Needed Supply Additional Power for War w.

Europe to supplement those Of our
allies. They say that four tons of
material must be shipped for every
soldier transported. In France most
of the transportation must be done
by motor lorries. When our army is
fully equipped some $4,000 motor lor-
ries will be required. These will re-
quire gasolene and lubricating oil in
large quantities.
Our government is building at the
greatest possible speed merchant
ships and men-of-war. We have ap-
propriated hundreds Of millions of
dollars for the gigantic task before
us. These ships will call for fuel oil,
lubricating oil and gasolene to an ex-
tent beyond Lny precedent.
To protect our coast against SUBJ
marines our navy has created a mos
quito feet, consisting in a large
measure Of motor boats. There are
thousands Of motor boats operated in
American waters, although, Of course,
not all are for purposes of national
defence. The operation of every
such vessel, whether for pleasure or
for strategic purposes, calls for
continuous supply of gasolene and
other gas petroleum products.
Our allies, too, are calling for oil
in all its forms in ever-increasing
quantities. In 1915 this country cx-
ported about 100000 barrels Of
gasolene, whereas in 1916 100000
barrels were sent abroad.
Munition cars, ambulances and
self-moving vehicles of every kind
are increasing daily in the theatre of
war, and the prospect is that the
present year will call for 100000
barrels Of gasolene for the use of our
allies in Europe.
Our allies also look to US for the
bulk of their supply of fuel oil and
petroleum products oiFevery form
for their armies. Wifi the Galician
and Rumanian fields in Europe in the
hands of the Central Powers and
with the available supply Of Mexican
oil reduced by reason of the shortage
of shipping tonnage, the United
States is the largest and nearest
source of supply for oil in all its
forms, which is so absolutely neces-
sary to win this war.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-06
Automobiles the
Greatest Consumers


The biggest and most important
drain on the gasolene supply comes
from the automobile. At the present
time the number of automobiles IN
operation is estimated at 3.5OO.OOO
TO 100000. Assuming that the
average consumption per car is from
eight to ten barrels a year, this win
require 100000 barrels of gaso-
lene alone. This applies to the cars
driven here at home. Looking
abroad we find Europe importing in
creasing quantities of gasolene from
this country. In 1916 our exports
were 100000 barrels. Last wear
they jumped to 100000 barrels. In
the current year it is safe to say
that the export of gasolene will run
ahead of last year by a substantial
margin.
Motor boats create another impor-
tant demand on gasolene supplies
-AA' S0e4AiiaC CC PldCcS llle NUMBER OF
motor boats in use in this country
curing the summer months at
100000. If they average barrel
OF gasolene year, which is mo<aest
allowance, the total consumption
here will approximate 100000 bar
rels. The cleaning and dyeing in
dustry is said to consume about
100000 barrels a year. The air
plane industry SO far has not been
much of a factor in gasolene con-
sumption, but as soon as the Ameri-
can air fleets begin to get into ac
tion in Europe the demand from
this quarter will assume much great
er Importance.
Gasolene is absolutely essential to
our present industrial progress. To
meet the demand the refining indus
try is working night and day find
ing new methods whereby a larger
percentage Of gasolene can be OBJ
tanned from the crude petroleum.

creatures. Which latter fact ought to
be consoling to ourselves, inasmuch as
there are naturalists who contend that

FIRST THOUGHT IS ISOLATION

became conscious of q feeling of
loneliness, writes James N. Hall, in the
Atlantic. l remembered what J. B..
had said that morning. There was
something unpleasant in that isolation,
something to make one look lOngingly
down to earth; to make one wonder
whether we shall ever feel really at
home in the air. ], too, longed for the
sound of human voices, and all that /
heard was the roar Of the motor and
the swish Of the wind through wires
and struts-sounds which have no hu-
man quality in them, and are no more
companionable than the tapping of the
waves would be to man adrift on a
raft in midocean. Underlying this feel
ing, and, no doubt, in part responsible
for IT, was the knowledge of the fall
libility Of that seemingly perfect
mechanism which rode so steadily
through the air; of the quick response
which that ingenious arrangement of
inanimate matter would make to an
eternal and memorable law, if few
frail wires should part; of the equally
quick, but less phlegmatic response Of
another fallible mechanism, capable of
registering horror, capable, it is said,
of passing its past life IN review in the
space of a few seconds, and then
capable of becoming equally inanimate
matter.

ALL WILLING TO PAY FARES
Reason Why Citizens Of Lima, Peru,
Do Not Seek to Evade Their
Street Car Obligations.

If fare registers were to be placed
in the street cars of Lima, Peru, there
would be loud protest. This IS not
because II is easier t. dodge the con-
ductor under the prevailing system.
On the contrary, the travellers of Lima
are willing. even anxious, to pay their
fares. Perhaps that doesn't seem hu-
man, but the explanation is that upon
receipt of the fare numbered ticket
is presented to the passenger, and it
is valuable lottery ticket.
The car lines are divided into four
sections for the monthly and semi
monthly drawings conducted by the
railway company. In the three impOr-
tant sections cash prize of $3.50 is
offered. The fourth section offers a
prize Of $50.

Determining Age of Planets.

A novel idea in estimating the physi-
cal condition of planets was put forth
by NJ. Veronnet before the Academic
DIES Sciences ut u recent meeting In
Paris. He based it upon calculation
of the quantity of water that rocks
such as granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the moon all water
has been completely absorbed by slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled.
Venus is still surrounded by thick
layer of vapor. while no water has yet
been condensed on the surface of Mer-
curry, this planet being still in a con-
dition in which its geological life has
not begun, and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on its surface.
NJ. Veronnet calculates that the
rocks of our earth now contain alb
sOrbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth of about
400 metres.
