may delay the completion of the Hous-
ton Gulf Gas CompaDy's pipeline and
the supplying of gas by the company
TO Houston.
The proceedings consist Of a suit for
cancellation of right-Of-way contract.
4 slut for damages, an application for
a temporary restraining order and an
application for a mandatory injunc-
ton TO require the removal Of the
company's pipeline from plaintiffs

The proceedings were brought by A.

ty. as next friend for \. L. Lindville,
his father. 1t is alleged that \. T..

% cents per rod for 1J7 rods, was
grossly inadequate. The local law firm

making connections for crossing the
river with its line at that point.

it the mineral takes the lime and
magnesia out of the water.
THAT flowing wells that have here
tofore been abandoned as useless for
both stock or irrigation purposes can
now be transformed by the chemical
action Of greendsand into soft water,
is the most curious property that this
most interesting mineral possesses.
This property is called base-ex-
change, and the substances which
possess it are called base-exchange
silicates, or popularity zeolites. The
name zeolite means boiling stone"
and zeolites are so called because when
heated they swell up and give off
steam, due TO chemically combined
water being driven off by the heat.
Experimental work on these eco
lites revealed that the zeolites were
able to exchange bases such as lime,
or magnesium, or bariun, or soda, or
potash, or ammonium; and that these
exchanges could be made by simply
bringing the zeolite into contact with
a water solution of salt containing
the particular base for which we wish
ed the exchange to be made.
I'm time it was found that other
substances than zeolites also possessed
these base exchanging powers, and
among these other substances is green
sand. Greensand does not swell up
when heated and it is more properl "
classed among such siIicates as tale
and serpentine, but since it possesses
base exchange properties, it is also
called zeolite.
when hard water is filtered
through zeolite, the hardness of the
water (the lime aud magncsia salts)
is removed and the resultant water
is termed softened water"
