The Two Meet.

SWELL, good-by, Dyck. I'll meet you
at the sessions, or before that at the
assizes."
1t was only the impulsive, CHEEKY,
warning exclamation of wild young
irish spirit to his friend Dyck Cal
houn, but It had behind it the humor
and incongruity of Irish life.
The man, Dyck Calhoun, after whom
were sent the daring words about the
sessions and the assizes, was a year
or two older than his friend and, as
Michael Clones. his servant and
friend, said, 'the worst and best
scamp of them ADJUST up to any
harmless devptry.
Influenced by no traditions or Gus
toms, under control of no stern rec
ords Of society, Calhoun had caused
some trouble in his time by the harm

treating him as a child, when he is in
reality a man. They try to regulate his

Many a girl or boy. II or Is wears old,
will remember for years, with a feeling
of singing indignation, almost of shame,
how this reply to some immature but
honestly thought out opinion, closed for
years, if not forever, the free confidence
between them and their parents.
If only parents would realize more the
Isensitiveness of early youth, if only they
would exercise little more imagination,
they would throw themselves more whole
heartedly into their children'S interests

olity, nor soothing at the pOSitiveness they
will meet. but respecting the sincerity
and admiring the enthusiasm which char

Then though babyhood and childhood
have passed into the realms of memory,
parents need not fear the temptations
and troubles of life for their children,
because they will continue to keep their
friendship and their confidence.-London

HELPING HIM OUT

While visiting friends in Cleveland
a young Detroiter was presented with
quart of rye whisky, He decided to
take it home in his suitcase.
AS the steamship neared the dock
he became more and more nervous.
Finally in desperation he confessed
his fears to a fellow passenger. This
kindly individual offered to trade suit
cases and assume all responsibility
The young man was vastly relieved
and the change was made.
The luggage was not searched and
few minutes later the two met on
shore. The young man was exceed
ingly grateful.
"By the way" he observed, as they
exchanged again, "you must have a
lot of things in your suitcase. It's
awfully heavy"
"Yes," said the stranger, 81 have

NATURAL GAS ONCE WAS WOR-
SHIPPED AS FIRE GOD!!

Today, natural gas is household
necessity, in tens of thousands of Ohio
homes: convenient and efficient fuel
Yet, not so many years ago, natural
gas was worshipped as a fire god!
The first discovery of natural gas
is a much discussed question. 1t was
known to exist in China, Persia and
British India for many centuries, al
though not put to commercial use. 1t
appeared as leakage from gas-bearing
strata through crevices in the ground
and when lighted by the natives it
was worshipped as a fire god.
In this country, as ea!ly as IT'S,
George Washington dedicated to his
country as National Park a tract of
land, which he had pre-empted, To-
Gated in West Virginia, containing a
burning spring. This was natural
gas, leakage from a crevice in the
ground.
The first discovery of natural gas
by drilling in the United States oc-
Cured through the drilling of shallow
wells for salt in Ohio and West Vir-
9inia, early in the nineteenth century.
The first actual use Of natural gas for
light, best available records say, oc-
CURED ir the town of Fredonia, N. Y.
This was in 1926, but it was not until
1872 that town Of any size was piDed
$50 that natural gas could be distrib-
uted for domestic purposes.
This was at 1'itusville, Pa.
From 1872, the natural gas industry
has had a phenomenal growth, in
creasing from a domestic service of
about one hundred people to the pres
ent total of about two million and a
half consumers serving about twelve
and a half million people. No other
country has produced more than a
small fraction of the natural gas pro-
duced by the United States and
Canada.
The report of the United States
Geological Survey for 1913 gives TO-
tai production of natural gas in the
United States as 721 billion cubic feet.

cess over the true year of II minutes
and IA seconds. This excess caused
the nominal January 1 to creep
gradually farther and farther beyond
the winter solStice so that by the
time of the Church Council Of Nice In
325 it was eleven days beyond the
solstice instead of seven.
"By the time of Pope Gregory's cor

Louis Deutsch, one of Newark's old

his brother John in Chicago, arrived
in Newark Friday to spend the holi-

a portion of his time in visiting with
old friends, and did not forget to call
on the Leader and renew his subscdip-
ton for another year. He brought
greetings from his brother George
and Carl Banse, who are also living
in the windy city to all friends and
acquaintance. Bro. Deutsch returned
to Chicago yesterday (Thursday)
