I am glad to say that it confirms the opin- ion that have always had-that cur northern territory is a very valuable ASSET rather than a liability, and that it will con- tinue to be more valuable as time goes on."

PROCESS FOUND
TO DE-GAS METALS.
Vacuum Pump Used With In

Science Explains.

| By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 18.-Gas is
getting to be one Of the unwelcome
substances in metals.
Strange as it seems. there is always
gas in cold, hard metals, but it has
been only recently that this impurity
has caused trouble.
Refinement OF the uses of metals
and employment Of some which until
recently were rare in commerce, now
| demands that the invisible gas pockets
be removed.
One Of the new degassing processes was
explained to the American Institute of
| Mining and Metallurgical Engineers yes
terday by DR.. F. J. Norton and DR.. A. L.
! Marshall Of the General Electric Co.
The metal is molybdenum. Its gas is
| a compound Of 43 per cent carbon mo-
| noxide and 81 per cent nitrogen.
Too Little for Poison.
The amounts are too infinitesimal to
be poisonous The molybdenum is
baked at temperature of 5000 de-
gress Fahrenheit, about one-third the
heat of the surface Of the sun. While
it is hot a vacuum pump Is used to
suck out the embedded gases.
