Helin71, InCOmbuStibLe Gas,
to ReUOIutiOniSe BallOOning;;
Production Greatly Raised

WASHINGTON, D. G, Aug. "a
Helium. the new iucombustible bal
loon gas, so called because it was
discovered on the sun 80 years be-
fore it was identified on earth.
which promises 10 revolutionize the
science OF ballooning. is the sub
ject OF the following communication
10 the National Geographic society
by DR.. G.. Sherburne Rogers:
When the United States joined
the allies. the military value Of he'll
ium was at once brough- 10 the at
tention Of the army and navy au-
thorities and a vigorous campaign
was begun for the production Of
helium in quantities.
The two main problems were
obvious: First to develop methods
Of extracting helium from the nat
ural gas; and. second, TO determine
the geologic occurrence OF the gas,
and so locate adequate supplies.
Late in 1917 two small expert
mental plants using different meth
DDS were erected in Fort Worth.
Tex, 20 treat the gas OF the Petrolia
field; and some months later a third
plant. using a still different method.
was erected in the field itself.
Kansas Area largest
The helium- bearing area of Kan
sas is far larger than any yet dis
covered in Texas and contains a
mum Der of fields which in the ag-
gregate yields much more gas than
Petrolia. The old Dexter field, IN
which the helium- bearing gas was
fi-st discovered, is now exhausted.
though the early difficulties in the
way of burning the gas We're over
come, and for years It was produced
in large volumes and used as fuel
ITO light a gas stove in Dexter.
however, always was a difficult feat,
and it became a matter of pride on
the part of every good housewife TO
develop the dexterity necessary to
this operation. The stove was first
filled with crumpled newspaper,
which was set afire; then the gas
was turned on, its flow being Skill
fully manipulated, until by the time
the paper had burned out the gas
had become hot enough TO take fire.
"As the apparatus used in all
these processes of extracting helium
gas for balloon purposes require
rather delicate adjustment and man
ipulation, some time was naturally
consumed in determining the most
efficient working conditions: but
just prior TO the armistice the first
shipment of 10000 cubic feet of
helium, compressed and stored in
steel tanks, had been started to
Europe This wa senough to fill
four of the ordinary kite balloons,
thought the large dirigibles requide
one TO two million or more cubic
feet OF gas.

ployment. at least for a part OF the
time. at what was 10 them a liv-
ing wage. which was one cent per
basket OF coal, weighing from SIS 10
100 pounds. Some carried as many
as two or three hundred baskets
during the four or FIVE hours re-
quired TO coal a ship. When not
doing this work. they found consid-
cradle employment discharging coal
from freighters which brought il
20 St. Thomas.
But then came the war in Eu-
rope and all was changed. The
steamships Of Germany. which
made CONTINUAL use of the harbor
OF ST Thomas. were driven from
the seas. and where formerly all
was business and enterprise. only
now and then a ship found it's way
into port, and the people OF St.
Thomas, their agriculture neglect
ed for years. found themselves un-
able TO gain a living. either from
the land or from the sea.
Entertained Columbus.
The history OF the Danish West
Indies is full of interest Colum-
bus found st. Thomas inhabited by
Caribs and Arawaks in 1893. In
1857 a colony OF Dutch settlers oc-
cupied the island; but when they
heard of New Amsterdam. now New
York, they left II 10 become a part
OF the new colony with such a re-
markable future ahead of IL. The
English came TO st. Thomas next
but in 1866 II was formally taken
over by the Danish crown. In 1864
the king of Denmark took the gov
ernment into his own hands and
threw the port OF Charlotte Amalie
open, duty free. TO all nations. In
1901 the British took the island
from the Danes. but restored il aft

ments growing out Of the Napoleo-
mic wars in 1915.
"St. Croix was settled by Dutch
and English. but they quarreled
and the Dutch had TO get out in
1850. The English in their turn
were driven out by the Spaniards.
Then the French from st. kits
took a hand and expelled the Span
iards. France gave the island to
the knights of Malta; but after a
prolonged. but losing effort TO put
it on a profitable basis, the knights,
in 1920. demolished their forts.
abandoned the island, and removed

French captured eight British yes
sells lying there and took possession
of the island again, finally selling
it to King Christian of Denmark"

Although quantity production OF
helium was achieved just too late
to be OF value in the actual hostili-
ties. il was in itself a great accom-
pIishment, for the worlds total out
put OF helium up 10 1915 was prob
ably less than 100 cubic feet. the
market value of which was about
S1.7OO a cubic foot. Our helium
can be produced by the first two
methods at less than 10 cents a
cubic foot, and If the third process
fulfills expectations, this figure will
be still further reduced.
THE details Of the process OF ex-
tracing helium are highly technical,
but the general scheme is easily un-
derstood All OF the main constitu-
ents of natural gas. including the
nitrogen, become liquified when
enheit; but the helium remains a
gas at this exceedingly low tenn
perature and is thus easily separated.
Principle is Familiar.
The principle by which these
low temperatures are attained is one
known TO every motorist who is un-
fortunate enough to have TO pump
up his own tires.
When air is compressed in a tire
it becomes hot; If the tire is allow
ed 10 cool TO ordinary temperature
and the valve is then opened and
the air allowed to escape. 1t becomes
cool.

Virgin Islands Haze History
Full of Black Flag Romance

Announcement that the Virgin
Islands, formerly the Danish West
Indies. are 20 be beneficiaries OF an
annual appropriation OF $500. 600
from the navy department and are
10 be the objects OF a general
Americanization program, is the oc-
casion for issuance OF a bulletin
concerning our newest possessions
by the National Geographic society.
Though the group comprises so
islands, on the northeastern rim Of
the Caribbean sea. only three are
big enough 10 have name on any
but photographic charts and local
maps. says the bulletin. These are
St Thomas ST. John and St. Croix.
While St Croix has an area Of
about 81 square miles and St
Thomas but % square miles, St.
Thomas is the most important Of
the group OF islands This i'm
portance arises from the fact that
.the harbor on the south side Of the
island is one of the gnest in all
tropical America.
The story OF how the war robbed
St. Thomas Of her one lone indus
try. and the possibilities the islands
hold for rehabilitation, is told in
the following communication to the
society:
Resort For Pirates.
From the days OF the bucea-
neers St Thomas strategic advan-
tage has been realized. for when
the Spanish Main was the happy
hunting ground OF the gentlemen
OF the Black Flag this harbor was
their headquarters. Behind it's out
or hills the pirate craft found shell

passing ships until the moment
came 10 pounce down upon them.
In more recent times il has played
the role Of safe harbor for the
thousands Of vessels bound from
Europe 10 Panama and surround
ing territory, or vice versa. With
a free port, where repairs, ships
stores. ard coal might be had, up
on which there had been no levy of
tariff duties, the shipping world
found the harbor Of Charlotte
Amalie an attractive way station
on most OF it's Caribbean routes.
The result was that agriculture
in St Thomas fell into decay. and
nearly all OF the activities Of the
islands population were devoted TO
the interests of its harbor, and one
Of the finest coaling stations in the
tropical world was established
there.
In addition 10 the coaling sta
tion there is a floating dry-dOck
and a marine slip, where splendid
repair facilities are provided.
