of life In the ZIi-2 disaster ut Hull
England, Mr. Manning declared, nc
centuries the need for an Intensive
development of helium here.
"The military nnd commercial usi
of helium for dirigibles,” said Mr
Manning, "is generally recognized, ul
though to date no practical utilizntioi
of this gas has been made except bj
the government. In the spring of 1017
as the director cf the bureau of mine!

Expense Justified.
, !u ' "ho had to bear the rrxpon |
slhtllty for the experluu-nlal void |
until a year ago, 1 cannot cmphaslzi
too strongly the statement that (In

they were, In separating helium frou

purpose.-', have been thoroughly Justl
fil'd, nnd It will be obvious to nnj
one who lms even a superficial Idol

funds should bo forthcoming from tin
government and private sources tc
carry on further experimental work
The government is now the chief usoi
of helium, and I should like to-dlrec 5
the attention of our country to tin

that the officers and men who forfeited
their lives may not have died in vain.’
r lhe story of helium was described
by Mr. Manning as “one of the ro
manors of science.” “It may he ol
interest at this time,” he said, “tc
know something of helium and tin
development In the production lo date
Scientists admit that Its discovers
was one of pure science. It was firs'
discovered in 1808, hi India, whili
scientists were making observation!
of an eclipse of the sun. Scientist)
agree that the occurrence of helltin
is in the air, in sea nnd river water
in rocks nnd mineral springs, In gey
set's and in volcanic gases, but the
only quantities on n largo scale cur
lie r covered from the natural gas ot
the United States.”
