The other day Representative Dick"
Elliott of Indiana, surrounded by a
group Of friends, was earnestly ex-
patiating on the value Of helium to
this country, when the writer inter-
rupted with: What is this helium

THE bureau of mines has been
working on the development of helium
for number of years, and the best
way to find out all about the details
Of It is to go down there and talk to
those scientific gentlmen."

A VISIT to that branch of the fed

Representative Elliott's suggestion.

is TO build q concrete chamber in
drift. with reinforced concrete enos
and a manhole. the whole 10 be line-i
with sheet copper to prevent dif-
fusion OF the gas through the con-

chamber 400 or 500 feet long and six
or eight feet in diameter might be
constructed and lined with copper or
sheet lead. 1t is estimated that the
cost of such storage per annum
might be as low as from one-tenth TO
one-hfth OF Il cent per cubic foot.
1T has also been suggested that
helium might be stored in some of
the salt deposits of New York. In
this state some of the rock salt de-
posits are sixty feet thick and COW
cred with a fairly heavy overburden-
By drilling into the salt and flushing
out with 4 stream of water. circu-
lar cavity could be made IN the salt
with a long neck. such cavity being
forty or fifty feet in diameter. Tho
chamber would be something like a
bottle with a very long neck and
helium might be stored in such
chamber under pressure satisfac-
torily 4 series of bottles could be
placed close together in the same de-
posit. 1t is necessary. of course. to
know whether helium does or does
not diffuse through salt in order to
apply such a scheme practically. and
this diffusion work is now being done
by the bureau of mines.
The storage in a concrete chamber
is being tried out at the experimental
mines of the Pittsburgh station of the
bureau. and it is expected that the
practicability of this method can be
determined shortly.

"In order to separate helium from
natural gas il was necessary to use
a refrigeration process which would
liquefy everything present except
the helium. To do this, since the
hefium bearing natural gases We're
high in nitrogen, it was necessary
to ultimately reach the temperature
of liquid nitrogen. The separation
of oxygen from nitrogen by refrig-
GRAFTON methods had taken a very
considerable period of experimental
tion and involved a large outlay of
capital This meant separating 81
per cent of one gas from 70 per cent
of the other. If in the preparation
of oxygen a purity of 9Sl2 per cent
is obtained. the result is considered
satisfactory. In obtaining helium

Before the war Marseille received

They know all about the proposed
American ships to such a point (they
think) that it would create a monopoly
