EXPERTS FROM
ELSEWHERESE SEE
BURNER WORK
Oil Heater Impresses Those
sc Who Have Seen 1t at the
Penn-HarriS

That there is very keen interest
in the subject of the successful use
of fuel oil for house heating and
cooking was evident on Monday
when not only were there present to
observe the three-element burner
scores of Harrisburg businessmen,
but also well-known businessmen
from neighboring cities. A number
of heating experts were present from
York, headed by A. p. Broomeil,
president of the Broomell Vapor
Heating Company, of New York and
Philadelphia. From Reading came
Edward Deininger and d. A. Evans.
Numerous technical experts from
State departments also visited the
demonstration. The visitors express
ed themselves greatly impressed
with the wonderful heat produced
by the three-element flame that
gushed liked a fountain of fire clean
as sunlight, out of the top of the
simple little arrangement of ordi-
nary-looking black iron parts. And
when the dirty, cheap oil that was
used was examined, the clean, white
flame became even more marvellous.
The immediate applying of this
burned to heating requirements is
the program of Mr.. Hoffman, and,
upon the securing of support from
the business interests of Harrisburg,
the founding of an industry here.

HEARING ON ALASKA
 SALMON FISHING AT
 SEATTLE NEXT WEEK

SEATTLE, Nov. 14 (my Associated Press) .-Restriction of salmon fishing in Southwestern Alaska streams, as a means of stopping the depletion of the Northern territory's supply of salmon, has been proposed. The department of commerce has ordered a hearing on the proposal to be held at the Seattle office of the United States bureau of fisheries November 20.
 All the Alaska streams between Cape Spencer not far from Juneau, and Cape Sarichef, on the western tip of Unimak island, will be affected by the proposed order if it is made into law.
 Reports received by officials of the fisheries bureau indicate that fisher men are going up the streams to the spawning grounds for some of their fish. AS a result the schools of salmon are being depleted.

HeIium Gas Cheapeneo.

Up to 1915 the total output of helium gas in all the world had prob ably been less than 100 cubic feet, and It was worth about $1,7OO cubic foot But just before the armistice was signed shipment of 10000 cubic feet of helium gas was sent to Europe and 1t costs less than 10 cents cubic foot.
 Helium gas was first discovered on the sun, by spectroscopy. It Is the best gas for use in balloons, because it is not inhammable. It Is now ex- tracted from the natural gas of Texas and Kansas.
 The method is delicate and com plex, but is based upon the fact that the principal constituents of natural gas liquefy when cooled to about minus 329 degrees F., but that helium re- mains a gas at that temperature, and hence Is easily separated.
