Supply Gas Deficiency.

1t is expected that in the near fu'
ture artificial gas for heating purposes
will be substituted largely for natural
gas in the Pittsburgh and other dis
trcts, where a considerable shortage
in the supply of natural gas has de-
veloped. This was the prediction
made at conference held recently un-
der the auspices of the Public Service
Commission in Pittsburgh. The Phil
adelphia company. which has been q
large supplier of natural gas for many
years. ii is stated, is now prepared to
supply 100000 cubic feet of artihcial
gas a day, and expects in the near fu
ture TO be able to supply S0,0O0O0l
