...official of Helium Co., which prepares that gas for use in dirigibles, announced last week the discovery of a new helium deposit, the situation of which was not made public. Helium, which is almost as light as hydrogen, has the great advantage of being non-inflammable. But, rare, it is expensive (about $35 per 1,000 cu. ft.). It is found mixed with natural gas. Hitherto there have been but two chief U. S. helium sources: 1) the Federal well at Amarillo, Tex.,? which yields 1.75% of helium; 2) Helium Co.'s well at Dexter, Kan., which yields...
...scarcely any June bugs in those States. That was because the beetles laid their eggs in 1927. (They prefer weedy lands or farms of small grains and timothy hay for laying.)

Granger deposited $100 in the People's National Bank of Hoosick Falls. Each year, half the interest will be given to Princeton University, the other half added to the principal.
