...Paul said (1 Timothy 5:23): Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake. . . . The Saviour, whose first miracle on earth was to turn water into wine, once said: No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, the old is better (Luke...
...natural gas in the earth which forces the petroleum out when wells are driven. The Lyon Act stipulates that natural gas shall be conserved, lest all the natural gas be exhausted and gushers therefore cease to gush. Oil operators have fqond that recycling the gas into the ground is the only practical form of natural gas conservation. Small operators, lacking the capital to construct recycling works, maintain that the measure is discriminatory, invidious...

Harvard's peripatetic Harlow Shapley (TIME, Dec. 2) addressed the American Geographical Society in Manhattan last week. Usually he has his keen intelligence among the stars. For last week's occasion he directed it into the earth. He proposed, as has many another with less public attention, to establish scientific laboratories deep beneath the land surface. The deepest man-made hole in the world is in Orange County, Cal., 8,201 ft. deep. The deepest mine in the world is St. John del Rey in the stage of Minas Geraes, Brazil, about 7,200 ft. down, where toiling...
...such depths, or deeper, Dr. Shapley would have his plutonic laboratories. Ph. D. moles would record the pulsations of the earth's crust which, according to one theory, is as rigid as steel and as elas- tic, rather than viscous, like stiff pitch. They would verify the hypothesized drift of North America from Europe and South America from Africa. (As can be seen on a globe, the continents would roughly fit together.) Such scientific gnomes might be able to determine the existence of an interstellar ether. They could certainly measure the relation of earth heat to earth depth. They...
