But | the" climax came in 19%4 when he | defeated G. A. B.

I know personally | he would scorn to shift a responsi- | bility that belonged to himself on | the shoulders of any other person. | Truly this is remarkable that a man ] coming into the township, and in the | short space of three years, rises to | the position of chief magistrate, If] he had acquired this record through | superior knowledge, even then it] vould be phenomenal.

If it had not | been for the 1920 tax roll being re- tained by me until now, the discovery would not have been made; in other words if the roll had been accepted previous to the nomination of 1924 the audit would not in all probability been for more than a couple of years back. This would have shown a sur- Plus in the treasurer's favor. The confliction of the tax rolls for 1919 and 1920 was the real cause of the audit extending five years back and I have to congratulate Mr. Muir on the effective work performed from the scanty material furnished to work upon, I also congratulate the ratepayers of the township on the very reasonable charge made by Mr. Muir for his services.

It was a triumph of sthe much-discussed "pure science," a I term which has been the greatest ob- stacle to the securing of large sums of money in this country for extensive PROFESSOR JOHN CUNNING- HAM MCLENNAN, whose brilliant researches attending from 1904 to 1918 gave helium to commerce, with a re- duction in price from $15.00 to nine cents a cubic foot. ! scientific research work. Professor McLennan did not start in to seek a method that would result in the. com- mercialization of helium gas, he was merely making as systematic an ex- amination of the radio activity of the natural gases of Canada as the limited funds at his disposal would allow. From 1904 he followed this work, with several other tasks. Each experiment was tabulated and duly reported, with the result that when, in 1915, Sir Rich- ard Threlfall suggested to the British Admiralty the great advantages of us- ing helium against hydrogen for air- ship purposes, the eleven years' work of the Canadian scientist, suddenly be- came of tremendous practical import- ance. The Admiralty turned the suggestion over to the Board of Invention and Research, and they invited Professor McLennan to prepare a report on the ium supplies within the Empire, and to detéfmine if they could be commer. have moved to their new store, next cialized. At that time the combiwed 'scientific laboratories of the world had ny Achievements Uy Lyman, B, Jackes - not collected more than about seventy- five cubic feet of this much sought af- ter gas. Finding It In Canada. Prof. McLennan and his staff went carefully over the records of that per- iod from 1904. The first fruits was the discovery that large supplies of helium were available from the natur- al gas fields of southern Alberta and an unknown quantity from the natural gas deposits which supplied the city of Hamilton, Ont. Some preliminary tests and a report were niade with the result that carly in 1917, the British Board advanced considerable money to proceed along the lines which had been suggested by Prof. McLennan. A French chemical concern, with a branch at Toronto, loaned some costly equipment free of charge to facilitate the work, with the result that helium in considerable quantities was obtain- ed from the Hamilton gas with a pur- ity of 87 per cent. With the new knowledge gained at Hamilton the experimenters removed their plant to Calgary, Alberta. These gas fields supplied the city of Calgary and the equipment was installed, so that the gas sought after could be ex. tracted without interfering with this supply. The experimenters were enabk ed to extract about seven hundred cu, bic feet of helium from every half mil. lion feet of natural gas passed through their plant. Shipments of compressed helium commenced to appear in Bri- tain and its use for airships proved up to and beyond all expectations. A plant was projected to cost six hun- dred thousand dollars, with a yearly yield of almost eleven million cubic feet of helinm. When the war ended immediate interest was lost in the dis- covery and at the time of writing there is little or nothing being dose to deve - lop this great natural asset, Developments on the Way. 'However the scientists of the United States have succeeded in inducing theit government to advance money for the development of helium from the nat ural gases of that country. Taking ad- vantage of the work done in Canada, by Canadians, they commenced in 191§ to extract helium in jarge quantities from the gas of Texas. Recently a sum of three million dollars has been grant. ed by the United States Government to further this work. | It is probble that within the nex! few years wonderful uses will be found for this gas, aside from airship filling It may greatly chea the transmis sion of electrical r and revole tionize modern ideas of illumination from electric lamps, as well as aiding in the ent of many qthel ficlds oi bumasn effort, | ;
