In the home in which 1 was enter
tanned in Oklahoma they had the
most beautiful heaters made almost
entirely Of isinglass the part that en-
closed the natural gas, and they could
instantancously illuminate and as
quickly the heat was thrown out, and
as suddenly it could be regulated to
the desired temperature, or entirely
extinguishcd if preferred. 1t is ideal
for cooking, judging from the menus
served and to behold the immaculate
utensils.

ouisitive to know how they kept the
lawns, yards and surroundings so
free from anything to detract from
them. Ny host told me OF iron or met

or top, which are placed over gas
let connected with underground gas
pipe. Any. rubbish about the premises
can quickly be destroyed without dan
ger of fire, was Informed how to
make them Of mortar and brick like
a round chimney, height of barrel,
having a door through which the con-
tents can be lighted with all ordinary
match, or cleaned out when ashes
accumulate. Every yard should have
one. My host carried me twenty miles
to the Cushing Fields. This was a
wonderful automobile ride. | beheld
something resembling burning
stump and was Informed it was an
underground gas pipe which had
burst. They connected these gas pipes
to others extending above ground for
illumination of yards and farms, re-
sembling burning torches. The light
ming set fro to one oil we'll which re-
sembled a burning volcano and left
the effects similar to an earthquake,
destroying a fortune in valuable oil
and gas, which is now to propel aero
planes for distribution Of mail which
l trust will never again be needed for
war purposes.
We went in an automobile to visit
relatives in Dallas, Texas, which is
railroad center, trolley lines to Fort

terious as the Echo River through
Mammoth Cave which flows exactly
as a surface river 500 feet below the
surface, constantly changing its
course for miles, but mysteriously
plunges into the earth, disappearing
and leaving for debate from whence
it came and whittier it goeth. Some
think it runs into Green River some
distance away as it rises and falls

the ingenuity of man to utilize them,

TO behold the black oil gush from the
well about thirty feet in the air in a
great volume falling into an earthen
basin surrounding the well, which IS

the basin, that is loss. After the oil
ceases to flow naturally, it is brought
to tho surface with pumps and flows

is the general opinion that oil travels
southwest to northeast. If you draw
a straight line from the Kansas fields
southwest to Bocenwood, Texas, you
will find OF! pools all the way. There
