Raging up Narragansett Bay, wind and water struck Providence, short circuiting all power. A 300,000 cu.-ft. gas tank exploded. Short-circuited auto horns set up a doleful din. Towns up Buzzard's Bay and along the Cape Cod Canal were devastated. A steeple in East Bridgewater fell point first through the roof of its own church. At Northfield Seminary a falling chimney killed two girls, injured 20. "Old Ironsides," torn from her moorings in Boston Navy Yard, was badly battered...
...pipelines fan out over the U. S. from the nation's three chief natural gas fields: 1) in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky; 2) Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana; 3) Southern California. Last year these capillaries of modern commerce carried so much gas (1,336,863,000,000 cu. ft.) that Congress passed the Natural Gas Act giving the Federal Power Commission authority over interstate pipelines similar to what it already had over interstate transmission of electricity. Last week FPC received from Kansas Pipe Line & Gas Co. the first application for a new line since the act was passed...

If permission is granted,* the company expects to sell 13,623,080,000 cu. ft. for $3,024,447 in the first year of operation, 20,165,390,000 for $5,469,847 in the fifth. The line would total 2,346 miles, serve 129 communities with combined population of 370,000, none of which is now supplied with natural...
Although modern freethinkers have gibed that the extant pieces, put together, would be as big as a battleship, in 1870 a French savant named Rohault de Fleury catalogued the known relics of the Cross, found that their total bulk was less than 4,000,000 cu. mm. By his calculations, the Cross measured 178,000,000 cu...
