Much of our natural gas in this
country is wasted because the wells
are too far from industrial centers or
their output too small. This is par
ticularly the case in Louisiana, Texas,
Wyoming and parts of California.
The United States bureau of mines
has been studying the possibilities Of
utilizing this waste gas for the pro-
duction of chloroform and other chem
icals of value. such as carbon tetra-
chloride and methyl chloride. The con-
illusions drawn are highly favorable.
Use of the gas for these products
would be restricted to dry" gases.

1t would not MATTER much fhow
many lobbies were maintained at
Washington or what their objects
were, if we could always keep a
m6drity of honest, fearless con-

very rarely that the vote of a
congressman is bought with
money. That is not to say, how
ever, that their actions are not
often influenced by offered adj
vantages or inducements of one
sort or another. But the most
effective weapon OF the .lobbies
with class or group interests to
promote is threats. The average
Congressman is so pusillanimous

district will defeat his reelection

If you are accustomed TO wake up

That Dickens. whom so many consid-
cred to be- n vulgar enthusiast. saw
the coming change in our society much
more soberly and scientifically than
did his better educated and more pre-

is no trace in Thackeray of the slight
est consciousness that progress could

is the expression of just such n realiza"
ton. 1t is not true to say that Dick
ems was Socialist. but it is not alb
surd to say so. And it would be simply
absurd to say il Of any of the great
individualist novelists of the Victorian
time. He felt the society changing |;

for this reason Dickens must definitely
be considered in the light of the
changes which his soul fOresaw.

LET OUT DEMON
AncIents Had Cruel Methods of
Relieving Headaches.
People Of Today Would Be Apt to
Consider the Remedy as Worse
Than the Disease.

Headaches are bOthersome things,
writes Prof Roy L. Noodle OF the
University of Illinois in the Scientific
Monthly. People have been annoyed
by them for long time, seven thou
. sand years at least, and probably
longer. We are all quite willing. when
afflicted with headache, to agree with
the people of the Stone age that
headache is a demon. and we would
be willing TO do almost anything TO ger
rid of IL.
1.-THE pain. whether due to a blow
on the head Indigestion, nervousness
or other cause, certainly reminds one
OF a demon, and il is readily understood
how ancient man should have con-
ceIved the idea of releasing this demon
which was bothering him. He devised
remedy which certainly was an ef-
fectiye cure for headache, whether the
pain was due to eye-strain, brain
tumor, skull friction or nervousness,
although it must be admitted that his
cure was worse than the pain.
primitive man devised his curative
measures as phase of his religious
beliefs, hence the cure adopted for
headaches was performed by shaman
or medicine man in some remote fast
ness of his region, and here the pa
tent remained until completely recov-
cred This treatment consisted in open
ing the skull in variety of ways TO
relieve the pain, or. as the Stone age
men thought TO let out the demon.
''This ancient; surgical art, which
forms the very beginnings of prehls-
toric surgery. seems to have been de-
yeloped in the region just north OF
Paris, near the Seine and Disc rivers.

scientists have found the ancient skulls
trepanned or opened to release the

armchairs in the exact center Of the
room for the mother and me.
Soon all the women of the household
gathered around us, for visit from
a foreign woman doctor was a most

entered dramatically at the proper mo

On a bright May morning. in 1880,
Lucy Williams, the 22-year-old daugh-
ter of Welsh crofter, was married
at the village church TO sailor, the
son of a laborer two fields away. Two
months later Davy set out from the
cottage on the hillside 10 foot it" to
Cardiff, where his ship was due to
sail the following day.
Lucy cried little. but he assured
her that he would be home again by
nothing in the way of yiands from
their first Christmas dinner together.
Then he passed ont through the gar
den gate and waved last kiss 10 the
little lass who watched his departure.
That was the last she saw of him.
A fortnight passed and she received
letter from him posted at Nantes,
another a few weeks later from New
Orleans and third and n fourth. and
then they ceased. Day after day she
waited and month after month, but
no news Of Davy. Inquiries at the
shipping office only evoked the infor-
nation that the vessel was long over
due and that nothing was known of
her. Then she was given up for lost.
But still she refused to give up hope.
She had implicit faith that Davy would
vet return. Christmas. her first Christ
mas married, came, but no Davy. Yet
she omitted nothing in her prepara-
tiOns for the dinner. Had not Davy
charged her? And he might yet come
who knows? And she placed his
plate ready for him ut the table so
that he might see he was expected.
That was 40 years ago and every

Solar Eciipse.

Apropos of the annual eclipse OF
April s. 1921. Doctor Crommelin writes
in Nature that the occurrence of Gen.
trail solar eclipse within the limits Of
the British isles is a rare event. There
has been no British total solar eclipse
since 1924. and the next one will occur
in 1927, if we disregard that of jan
uary "a, 1925. in which the track Of
totality merely grazes the Western
Hebrides and the eclipse occurs with
a very low sun. The last annular
eclipse before that OF the present year
was in 1858 and there will not be an
other until 2093.-Scientific American.
