Builder Story smoked a corncob pipe, watching the tug Eveleth pick up the schooner to tow her to Gloucester. Five generations of Storys, tall, spare, taciturn, have built fishing boats at the same deep crook in the stream called the Essex River . . . little Chebacco Boats, Heel Tappers and Pinkeys, the bigger boats of the 1850's, the 1890's. Like other Massachusetts builders, he thinks of racing as he sees a boat grow, but builds it for work. No fishing schooner races before it has gone fishing. The twist of the water on the boat's underbody...
...edge of his bed at the Hotel Ohio, the lawyers had dumped the stockholders' battle at midnight Tuesday, while the balloting was taking place. There were Luther M. Day of Cleveland, with his feet on the radiator, arguing for Eaton, and distinguished Newton D. Baker, pulling at his black pipe, arguing for Campbell. The question concerned 51,038 shares of stock, and just what the stock was, and whence it had come, and who could vote it. Now held by the Eaton forces, it had been bought after I p. m. on March 22, the hour when the books were...
Earlier researchers found that ordinary maple syrup afforded high resistance to ice; but was easily "scrubbed" off by the wind. Working along other lines, experimenters tried heating the wing edge by an extended exhaust pipe. They found ice would form behind the pipe nearly as heavily as along the edge...
...current operation in the U, S. On the Pacific Coast last week Standard Oil Co. of California announced an additional method of natural gas distribution. By this project gas will be liquefied and shipped in tank cars to local plants, where it will be carburated. Thus communities to which pipe lines do not at present extend will none the less be prospects for natural gas service. The liquefying process is not aimed, however, at superseding pipe lines, but rather as an accessory form of distribution. Liquid natural gas will be distributed by Natural Gas Corporations of California, Oregon and Washington...
...gross income of the U. S. natural gas industry was $196,000,000. In 1929 it was over $400,000.000. Ten years ago the industry was localized in the Ohio Valley. Today Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and California are centres of huge production. The construction of long, high-pressure pipe lines (such as the 540-mi. system extending from Monroe, La., to St. Louis), the constant investment of new capital (total natural gas investment is now nearly $2,000,000,000 as compared to $12.000,000,000 in the petroleum industry) and the growing appreciation of natural gas as an easily...
