LIGHTNING PICKS TREES;
NEVER STRIKES BIRCH

Lightning is said to have its pref
erences among different kinds of
trees. Some years ago Mr.. McNab,
a fellow of the Botanical Society of
Edinburgh. investigated into the gen
orally received opinion that neither
the beech nor the birch is ever struck
by lightning.
He collected information regarding
lightning-struck trees throughout
Great britain, and found no single in
stance of either of these species be-
ing struck.
Investigation in North America
gave similar results. He found, in
deed. that in the forest regions there
a beech tree was regarded as the
safest place in a thunderstorm Chi

ENGLAND'S COAL STRIKE
TIES UP THE SHIPPING

More than $50 merchant ships are
tied up in. British ports and several
hundred in Japanese harbors, accord
ing to official dispatches received at
Washington yesterday from London.
Low freight rates and the general
slump in ocean traffic are said to be
the cause. but is is pointed out also
that a general coal strike in England
would mean a tieup of practically the
whole British merchant feet.
Only &c shipping board vessels are
laid mp in American ports, it is under
stood, and officials estimate that not
more than $50 ships will be tied up in
this country at any. time during the
coming year. A coal strike in England
would not react against the American
craft, it was added, because the great
majority are oil burners.
New Zealand has planted nearly
10000 acres of trees since it began
afforestation work in 1896.

Of the pressure from the wells.
If, however, the well has a low
pressure, for example, a pres
sure of from 100 to 200
pounds, and the pressure re-
quired and maintained in the
pipe line is 300 pounds, it is
obvious that that well will not
put any gas into the pipe line,
for the pressure in the pipe
line being the greater, it will
overcome the pressure from
the well; and instead of gas
going from the well into the
pipe line, gas would go from
the pipe line into the well.
Under such circumstances
that we'll cannot be used at all
unless it is near a compressor
station so that the gas can be
pumped into the line. The
same thing is true Of q well
whose pressure originally was
high, but which, owing to par
tial exhaustion, has gone
down.
The gas in such wells is a
complete waste unless the gas
is worth enough to justify
building a compressor station
in the vicinity and pumping it;
and compressor station costs
from $4,000 to $3.50, 1000, de-
pending upon its size. A COM
pressor is a combination of an
engine and a large pump, and
is not onlyexpensive to install,
but is also expensive to oper-
ate. That gas cannot be saved
unless the consumer will pay
for it at least what it will cost
to save it.
In the Smithsonian Institu-
tion's Bulletin 102, part z, p.
"a, discussing this subject, it
is said:
"Cas can not be gathered,
stored, or transported In the
same manner as oil. If found in
sufficient quantity, it is turned
from the we'll into the line and
the pressure at the mouth of the
we'll is the motive power by which
il is driven through the line to
the consumer miles away. II tho
pressure at n given well is below
that in the line with which II is
connected, the gas from that well
can not enter the line, but will bc
driven back by the superior force
il encounters at the point OF con-
nection. For this reason, a well,
producing gas in sufficient guam
tity to be profitably utilized, If
there was a market for il near at
hand, may be entirely valueless If
its product must find a market at
distance too great to justify its
transportation by n line of its
own. In an oil district each we'll
no matter how large or how small
its product may be, is separately
operated, and a well may be prof
itabIy operated so long as its
yield pays more than the cost of
producing the oil. In a gas dis
trict this is impracticable. The
product of many wells is gath
cred into one line, SO long as the
pressure is sufficient. When the
pressure in any one falls below
the standard necessary for pur-
poses II transportation, that well
must be turned off. Its product
can not be transported separate.

by, il is valueless.

Hundreds of millions Of
cubic feet of natural gas are
wasted in unused and un-
usable wells. BY unusable
wells we mean thousands of
gas wells whose individual
volume and pressure are so
low that the gas from them
cannot be utilized except by
the expendi iture of more
money than the gas company
can get for the gas. While
one of such wells is of no mo-
ment, yet in the aggregate
their number is so great that,
could they be used, they would
so increase the supply as to OBJ
viate a shortage for some time
to come.
Those wells fall into two
classes: First, gas wells which
when first drilled in have such
a low pressure as not to be able
to put gas into the pipe line;
and second, wells originally
having a high pressure, but
whose pressure, after the wells
are used for a time, goes down
so that gas from them will not
go into the pipe line.
It requires pressure to trans
port gas through pipe line,
and the greater the distance
the greater the pressure re-
quired. The further the gas
goes the less the pressure gets.
ia 12-inch pipe line is 200
miles long, and gas is deliv-
cred into it at one end at 800
pounds pressure, at the rate of
100000 cubic feet an hour, it
will come out at the other end
at about so pounds pressure;
and owing to condensation in
cold weather, it will come out
at a lower pressure in the win
ter than in summer.
Pressure is Of two kinds.
One is called crock pressure.
which is the pressure of the gas
itself in the we'll. The other
is artificial pressure, which is
created by means of pumps or
compressors, installed and op-
Grated at what are called
compressor stations"
In the gas fields the gas is
packed under the earth in gas
bearing sand or rock in vary
ing densities. The gas is ex-
pansive in its nature, and the
density with which it is
packed in the gas sand or rock
determines the initial rock
pressure, or the expansive
pressure of the gas itself in the
we'll when it is first drilled.
Some gas wells will have an
original rock pressure of 1000
pounds, and they range from
\ that on down to less than 100
pounds,
A well whose rock pressure
is high can be connected di-
rectly with the pipe line, and
the gas transported by means

UnuSable Gas Wells

Gas eompressors can, Of
course, be installed so as to in
crease the pressure of the gas to
permit its delivery into line. The
operating coat Of this, however,
may be much more than the mar
ket value of the gas. This, of
course. is a very pointed illustra-
tion of the fundamental fact that
in order to make gas conserva-
ton possible il must be made
worth saving"
In the larger gas fields
where the wells whose pres
sure has gone down have been
sufficient in number, and
where the wells are close
enough together to justify it,
the Oklahoma Natural Gas
Company has installed COM
pressor stations; but there are
thousands of scattered small
wells and partially exhausted
wells from which the gas
ought to be taken and utilized,
and that would be done If the
the expense of doing so did
not greatly exceed the amount
the company could get for the
gas. No company could af-
ford to expend $4,000 in
building a compressor station
to utilize natural gas that
would not bring on the market
more than ten or fifteen thou
sand dollars.
The result is that large
quantities of low pressure nat
ural gas, which, when COM
pared to artificial gas at $1.50
q thousand, is worth $500 q
thousand, are going to waste.
merely because the public
does not understand the facts
and has not been willing to do
its part in conserving and saw
ing the gas. And the time has
come when this low pressure
gas must be used, or else we
shall soor have none.
Thomas B. Gregory, Chief
of the United States Fuel Ad-
ministration, said that "the
most effective incentive to
conservation is, as experience
has taught, a higher price,"
DR.. Israel G.. White, State
Geologist Of West Virginia,
said:
Natural gas, practically y
double in heating value of the
best grade of manufactured gas,
has always been sold too cheap
and this more than any other
cause has led to its universal
waste and wastcful use.
"The only effective means oi

tic purposes is to raise the price

proaches the cost at which manu-

This was the sentiment expressed
last night by Frank Reynolds, Allan
ia Kiwanian and secretary of the
state automobile association, after
the conclusion of the BANQUET at
tending the charter presentation
ceremony of the local Kiwanis Club
at the Windsor Hotel, lasting from
$3.50 to 1890 o'clock.
And that goes for me-" said Gov
ernor r. S. Vessels, also of Atlanta,
who made the formal presentation.
1t was most pleasing affair. About
half the number present were visi-
tors, including half hundred Ki.
wanians and their ladies from Colum-
bus, fifteen from Albany and delega-
tlons from Macon, Eastman and At
lanta. Plates were laid for about
zoo, filling the main dining room of
the Windsor beyond its comfortable
capacity and necessitating the plac-
ing of the tables too clase together
to permit of perfect service from
the walters. But the guests realized
4hn rIfr Ill 6
and were happy.
1t was the first function of the
local Kiwanis Club outside of it's reg
ular weekly luncheons, and all the
members and their wives had done
their best to prepare an entertain
ment of unusual excellence. The
visitors appeared not to doubt that
they had succeeded.
The Program Starts.
The evening opened with prayer
by Kiwanian- Fiddler "Guyt"
Fisher. 1t is doubtful if a prayer
was ever before applauded in Amer
icus. The orchestra, composed of
some ten of "Americus' own," swung
into "Pack Up Your Troubles" and
all "Kit-Baggers" joined in. At this
juncture a multitude of toy sausage
balloons were let loose by several
pretty young ladies and the guests
had a thrilling five minutes batting
them about the banquet hall and get
ting amusement out of the numerous
"blow-outs" caused by punctures
from table forks.
Before the last balloon was prick
