World's Supply of Nonexplosive
Balloon Gas Would Not
Have Filled Gas Bag.
PROFESSOR CADY GIVES FACTS
Tells of Government's Experiments
With Helium and Cost of Produc
ing It in Experimental Stages
Found in Three States.
Lawrence, Kan. All the helium or
nonexplosive balloon gas now avail
able in the world would have been en
tirely inadequate to lift the ZR-2, the
dirigible that was to have been the
nucleus of America's air navy, accord
ing to a statement by Frof. U. P. Cady
of the University of Kansas depart
ment of chemistry. Doctor Cady dis
covered that helium was a constituent
of the natural gas of Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas, and performed no
table experiments in the early days of
the World war in developing processes
for commercial production of helium.
Before the war, he said, probably
not more than a hundred cubic feet
of this gas had been obtained in a
fairly pure state, and that was secured
at a cost of $1,700 to $2,000 a cubic
foot for experimental purposes. Total
production after extensive experi
ments by the United States govern
ment probably does not exceed 300,000
cubic feet up to the present, but while
the cost of production has been re
duced greatly, still this cost, compared
to the cost of hydrogen, commonly
used for Inflating balloons, is tremen
dously high.
Forced to Use Hydrogen.
"It is not strange, then," said Doc
tor Cady, "that England used the com
paratively inexpensive hydrogen for
the ZR-2. During the experimental
stages the gas bag had to be emptied
at times to allow changes In the struc
ture. Practically the only place to get
the helium is from the natural gas of
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and
thus far processes of reduction have
not been perfected. Only 1 per cent
or less of the natural gas is helium,
and this helium has to be refined to a
purity of 90 per cent or better before
it has the nonlnflammable quality de
manded for safety in halloon construc
tion. "I am inclined to think helium never
will come into general use for com
mercial airships, if such vehicles be
come common. The limited quantity
of the material, its high cost and Its
value in war balloons probably will
make it imperative for the government
to reserve all helium for its own use."
Doctor Cady explained that even the
best balloon covers did not prevent
entirely the escope of lifting gases, and
It is necessary constantly to supply
fresh gas. This is more true of hy
drogen than of helium, but the wast
age is there, and the continued opera
tion of even a small fleet of war bal
loons would demand a constant supply,
of fresh helium. Experiments at the
University of Kansas showed that the

Find Helium in U. S.
The attempts to produce helium in
commercial quantities in the United
States date from 1916. The year be
fore the English government had
sought samples of gas from America
in its search for helium for use in air
ships. The United States was not then
at war and proceeded cautiously. Dr.
t R. B. Moore of the United States bu
reau of mines, who had received the
British communication, recalled that
Doctor Cady and his assistant, -D. F.
McFarland, had discovered the gas in
unusual quantities in the mid-continent
natural gas, and later' Doctor
Cady and C. W. Seibel, also of the Uni
versity of Kansas, were employed In
the plans for the construction later of
three helium plants in Texas.
Two small plants were completed in
March and May, 1918, and began the
production of helium. Their output
was not great, but 200,000 cubic feet
of helium had been produced and
much of it had been compressed Into
cylinders for shipment to France when
the signing of the armistice made that
unnecessary. A third plant at Petro
Ha, Texas, near Fort Worth, was com
pleted a few days before the armistice,
and experimentation was continued
there after the war until halted by
diminished appropriations.
HAS THE LARGEST LIVING SNAKE
National Zoological Park Ac
quires Monster Python.
Monster That Once Roamed in the Ma

Washington. The world's largest
captive snake is now an inhabitant of
the National zoological park in Wash
ington. It is a large regal or reticulated py
thon that once- roamed in the Malay
forest. From the tip of its head to
its tail is about 25 feet long. This
species of python grows to be larger
in size than any snake In existence,
and while a specimen that measured
a little less than 30 feet long was
once killed, it is believed that the
snake now in Washington is the
largest on exhibition.
A special cage of extra thick glass
was built to house the new python,
which came from New York in a
heavy wooden box perforated with
small holes t. allow circulation of air.
The large python did not dine on its
journey, "as It only goes to dinner
once in three or four weeks. But these
Infrequent meals usually consist of a
large pig or even a small deer or an
telope, which is crushed .to death in

Smudges are a national institution
there. They are everywhere, in the
interior the Alaskan summer is suf
ficiently warm for swimming. But
this sport must be accompanied by a
ceremony. The boys construct a hut
of branches on the bank of the stream,
protect it from mosquitoes by a
smudge, and enter and exit from the
water with a mosquito-defying dash.
Alaskan mosquitoes do not act as
carrier of malaria and yellow fever
as do those- of the United States and
tropics, but they are very vicious.
They literally fill the air. In one
sweep of an insect-collecting net about
his head, Doctor Aldrich was able to
capture 110 mosquitoes by actual
count.

Find Natural Gas
in Abandoned Well
Ottawa, Ont. An accidental
discovery of natural gas at Oro
no, Ont:, a few days ago, has
caused quite a sensation in that
district. William Neal, having
bought a farm upon which a dry
"Well had been abandoned, de
cided to try to get water and,
with that end in view, engaged
the services of a well digger.
After going down several feet
it was found that there was gas
coming up. Theold well wa
stopped at 70 feet and the nevt
portion was not much deeper
when the gas was found.
"MEANEST MAN" ROBS GIRL
Takes Locket and 25 Cents From
Child on Way to Store in New
York City.
New York. Gotham's "meanest
man" stole a locket and 25 cents from
a five-year-old girl.
Angelina Lempo had been intrusted
wlth a quarter and sent to a nearby
grocery to purchase some butter. A
man with a red mustache lured her to
another street, telling her he knew a
place where she could get the butter
for nothing. Meanwhile he took the
25 cents from her, took off her tiny
locket to have it "polished free of
charge" and then gave her a paper to
deliver to a mythical woman in a near

When she returned after a vain
search for the woman, the man with

Its next-meal time arrives.
If this great regal python were a
star attraction in a circus, he would
probably be bally-hooed as a "boa con
strlctor that eats men alive." Ae.
cording to Dr. N. Hollister, superin
tendent of the National Zoological
park, who was chairman of the new
python reception committee, most of
the snakes that are shown in the
"greatest shows on earth" and adver
tised as boa constrictors are pythons,
which are usually larger snakes. The
circus variety of python is usually the
rock or black species that grows 12
to 15 feet long and are found in South
America. These do not compare in
size with the larger regal species that
are found in the Malay regions, parts
of Asia and the Philippines. The
Washington zoo has three specimens
of the smaller pythons.
The new snake has been secured as
part payment for a baby hippopota
mus that the National Zoological park
raised last year. Most of the addi
tions to the zoo are secured by ex
change in this way. The new python
arrived in New York from the Orient
through the regular commercial chan
nels of caged animal ... trading.
The world's largest snake cost $2
per . pound. Its exchange value was
$500, and it is estimated to weigh
close to 250 pounds.
fly. Heretofore, it has been assumed
that the domestic fly accompanies
man wherever life is possible, but Doc
tor Aldrich's observation has thrown
a new light on the subject. The ab
sence of horses and their manure
in large quantities may be a minor
reason for the absence of the house
fly, but climate seems to be the prin
cipal one. Even in the southern end
of Alaska's panhandle at Ketchikan
there are salmon factories, houses
and stores, all unscreened, and with
absolutely no traces of the common
fly. A few of the rarer flies that are
found in the United States also live
in Alaska, but in insignificant" num
bers. Insects from the interior of Alaska
were collected by Doctor Aldrich for
the first time. The valley of the Tan
ana river, a tributary of the Yukon,
is very much like the northern part
of Minnesota, and. the. region around
Lake Superior so far as insects are
concerned,, he has found. , Doctor Al

THE LOST DOG.
"Of course," said the Collie after he
was home at last and was talking with
the other dogs, "I don't blame some
dogs for getting good and angry when
they are "treatedbadly.
"And so much depends on a dog's
bringing up. If a dog is treated nice
ly and kindly, then the dog is gentle
and kindly, too, and isn't on the look
out for snappy, cross people, and 80
doesn't become snappy and cross him
self. "But I think that the nicer a dog
can be, the better it is for him.
"The reason, though, that I am able
to be pleasant and friendly is because
of the nice home I have, and the kind
master and mistress, and because I
have been brought up in a home where
people are happy, and wher they
laugh and where they don't quarrel.
"Of course, all that makes me plescs
ant and friendly. I really couldn't be
any other way.
"But I want to tell you about the
trip I had when I was lost, and be
cause the family are all so kindly with
me I was kindly and friendly with
other people I met.
"You know I got lost. It was a
dreadful experience. I really didn't
know what to do. I had gone off for
a trip and hadn't realized how far I
had gone. And you know I'm very
young.
"Of course, I would have found my
way home in the long run, I know
that.
"But it was everything to be helped,
as I was!
"I found myself in another small
town where there wag a very fashion
able Inn. ' An Inn is a fashionable
boarding house, I believe, and is like
a smart hotel, only smaller. Now, in
this Inn, they didn't allow Hogs.
"There were many elderly ladles
there, and many of them were fussy.
"I came upon this place, and I was
so tired. I thought to myself that the
people might be friendly, and so I
wagged my tall, although they didn't
look the friendly sort.
"None of them had spoken to me, or
anything like that.
"But when I wagged my tail and
looked at some of them politely, they
said to each other:
"'What a lovely dog.
"I thought that they might help me,
and so I wagged my tail again and
"What a Lovely Doa."
gave a low, friendly bark, and one of
the ladies said:
" 'That dog must be lost.'
"Very gently I walked up near her,
80 I wouldn't frighten her, and I found
that she wasn't frightened.
"Then I put my head in her lap
and she patted me. And one of the
other women said to her:
"'Why, I never saw you pat a dog
before. How do you know that he
won't biter
"Of course that was enough to make
me furious. As though dogs were all
going to bite I
"But I kept my temper and the
lady said:
" 'Oh, he is a beautiful dog and you
can tell he is used to being petted. I
am not afraid of him.'
"And then the lady called out the
one who owned the Inn, and she asked
to have me fed and a drink of water
given to me.
"Then one of the very stylish and
superior waiters brought ' me out a
dainty meal and served me as though
I were a fine paying guest, and called
my meal 'luncheon.'
"Then they telephoned about to the
neighbors and others, and asked ques
tions about any missing dogs that had
been reported, and they found out I
belonged to my master, and they
helped me to come home.
"In fact, I should say they brought
me home, andit would have been a
hard job by myself.
"But I do think that it makes a
great deal of difference if one is
friendly.
"Now, I went up to the lady and
acted in a friendly fashion and she
.Was friendly with me.
"I've seen someone acting quite
cross with my master, and my master
being as. pleasant as can be, and that
person will change right around and
be pleasant.
"But, oh dogs! It's good to be

And the dogs wagged their tails and
barked.
"Oh Collie, it's good to have you
home, for we missed you, sir, we
missed you !"
