HELIUM GA S
LIQUIFIED BY
NEW PROCESS

TORONTO. Ont. March 15.-Pro-
fessor John c. Mcclellan of the Uni
versity of Toronto has discovered a
process for liquifying helium gas.
The new discovery. It is said. will
open UP big possibilities for the gas
in the ind strial field.
HellEm is a non-combustlble gas
which is nearly as light as hydrogen
gas and can be used as a substitute
for II. Its principal use up to the
present time has been as n filling for
diriglble balloons and other lighter
than air craft, because of its non
inflammability. Many air disasters
due to the ignition OF gas bags
could have been avoided. II is said. II
heiium gas had been used.
In its new liquified state helium
will be particularly valuable in re-
frigeration. since its temperature
reaches within one degree OF abso-
Lutte zero. This property Of extreme
temperature will also mako tho
llquified gas especially useful in sci
entific research. according to Pro-
fessor Mcclellan.
The value of helium as a CONNER
cial product is enhanced by its com
parative scarcity. The United States
and Canada are the only countries
in which It is found. During the war
the United States took steps to ex-
tract and conserve its helium gas.
and since the war 1t has prohibited
its export from the country. Can
ada's source OF helium is located Mt
Bow Island. near Calgary. Alta.
This field is said to be the largest in
existence.
