Up to 1915 the total output Of
heIium gas in all the world had prob
ably been less than 100 cubic feet, and
Il was worth about 1.TO0 a cubic foot.
But just before the armistlce was
signed a shipment Of 10000 cubic
feet Of helium gas was sent to Europe,
and It costs less than 10 cents cubic
foot.
HeIIum gas was first discovered on
the sun, by spectroscOpy. 1t is the
best gas for use in balloons, because
it is not inhammable. 1t is now ex-
tracted from the natural gas Of Texas
and Kansas.
The method is delicate and COM
pick, but is based upon the fact that
the principal constituents Of natural
gas liquefy when cooled to about minus
800 degrees F., but that helium re-
mains a gas at that temperature, and
hence is easily separated.

THINK TERM IS EFFEMINATE
Some Tennis Players object to Word
"LOVe" as at Present Employed
in Scoring System.

There is talk among the Overlords
of tennis of finding another word than
"love" to mean nothing" in the scOr-
ing system, for, although it may sur
prise many to hear it, the game is
sometimes spoken of as effeminate,
and this bit of Technology is held re-
spOnsible. Nobody has ever explained
why Glove" means nothing" in tennis,
but there is a fOotnOte in an old and
rare book about card-playing which
refers to an old Scottish word fluff, /"
which meant nothing" and this, per
haps, may have been somehow trans
ferred into the game Of tennis. Or,
again, the term may be Of far eastern
origin, where a word sounding like
'gove" was used in the old form Of
tennis that was once popular in the
orient. Whether or not the termin-
olOgy undergOes change, the game is
in no immediate danger Of falling Oh
in popularity, and the repeated shout
ing Of these seeming endearmentl
across the tennis net has Occasionet
much innocent merriment.-C Christian

OLD TURKISH TRADE UNIONS
Guilds Formed Of Members ofVarieuu
Industrial Vacations Common
In constantInOpIe.

Whatever may be the eventual gov
eminent of Constantinople, the count
less guilds or corporations created by
members Of the various industrial vo-
cations followed by the population will
probably respond slowly to the change.
In Constanttpople, says a writer on
Turkish life, every trade and calling
has its own union, many of which are
Of long ancestry: the esnaf. or guild,
of the shoemakers, for example, is
said to have been grantee power to
judge and punish its own members for
public offenses as long ago as the six
teenth century, in return for some
service which it then rendered Sulei-
man the Magnificent. Organized for
the common benefit as traders or work
ers, the members of the guilds are ad-
mitted irrespective Of race or religion
so long as they follow that particular
occupation. The business of the or
ganization is conducted in lodges, the
officers Of which have been held re-
sponsible for the good behavior Of
members. Although future conditions
in Constantinople viii doubtless modi-
fy them, the esnafs will probably con-
tinue to be power.

Schools Of punkerque.

One Of the things that deeply i'm
pressed the company of journalists
from some twenty different nations
who recently visited DunkerQue in a
party was the story Of the public
schools. DunkerQue, although it es-
capped occupation, was under constant
bombardment; the enemy at one time
and another had the city under fire
by land, sea and air, but, except for
a short time in the beginning when the
buildings were used for war purposes,
the schools of Dunkerque, like those
Of Reims, continued in session, and
new schoolhouses were built. When
ever the city was bombarded, the pu-
pills, big and little, marched to the eel
lar in orderly procession, and some
times the entire session was held there.
If a schoolhouse was partly shattered,
1t was repaired at ence, and school
promptly resumed; nothing, in short,
was allowed to interfere with the con-
tinuity Of the schools Of DuRkerque.
