N ENvER. The old-time boom

rushes OF Colorado are being
eclipsed in northern Colorado fol-
lowing discovery Of huge gas
well near Wellington, north Of Fort
Collins.
Swept by a wave Of intense ex-
element over the possibilities of
an oil boom, following bringing in
of the gas gusher, which flowed
100000, 900 cubic feet per day be-
fore it was finally capped, a nush-
room settlement has sprung up In
the rolling farmland country Of
Weld county.
More than $4,000 persons have
visited the scene Of the gusher,
and numerous small eating houses,
tent cities" and refreshment
stands have been erected over a
wide area in the vicinity Of the
Wellington dome.
So great was the pressure OF
gas, struck at depth of more
than 1000 feet, that the roar Of
the flow could be heard for miles
around. Some of the casing and
parts of the derrick were shot
away by the bullet.like force of
the flowing gas before workmen
were able to cap the well. The
cap is in fourteen parts and
weighs 1000 pounds.
Though the gas well Is dry"
thus far, showing little If any
traces of oil, the belief is wide
spread that the golden fluid will
be located in the vicinity, and a
wild rush was made to lease up
acreage for miles around.
The porperty upon which the
gasser was brought in is State
school land, under lease to Cali
fornia oil company for ten cents
an acre, with the usual provision
of one-eighth royalty accruing to
the State from all income derived
from the land.
Experts declare that if the gas
flow from the one well already
brought in continues even to with.
in SO cents of its present flow of
100,000,000 cubic feet, sufficient
gas will be available to furnish
several northern Colorado cities
with cheap fuel, and proposed
commercialization of the gas for
fuel purposes is expected to yield
large amount Of money to Colo.

IA NJ OVERSIGHT in q recent ar
M ticle replying to Ques-
q - tion about falling bodies,
hrings me back to the subject not
only In order that the error may
be corrected, but also because
there is much more to be said.
The error was in calculation OF
the time that would be required
for body to fall five miles Cat.

ed. The time was stated as
162.4s seconds, which is four
times too great.
The formula, which was cor

seconds equals one-quarter Of
square root OF height in feet. In
the application the division BY 4
was neglected.
TO fall five miles under the
action Of gravity, little less
than Al seconds would be re-.
quired. During that time the
velocity would increase from to
1912 feet. But this answer, of
course, assumes, that the resist
ance Of the atmosphere Is negligi
bic, and also thar the acceIeration
OF gravity remains the same
throughout the whole fall. In
fact, gravity would grow slightly
stronger as the falling body
got nearer the ground, so that
there would be a little prCgres-
sive gain in the rate or accelera-
ton. For q distance Of only five
miles, however, this need not he
taken into account.
Then, again (there was nor
room to explain IN the former
articleD, owing to atmospheric re.
sistance the time OF fall would
not correspond very closely with
the calculated figures unless the
falling body was very dense and
compact In form.
