Pays to Remove Gasoline.

From Its investigation of the effects of removing gasoline from natural gas, the United States bureau of mines has concluded that the gas is not only not made poorer, but that its consumer is actually profited by the process.« A gallon of gasoline burned in the gas is worth about 1% cents, but the condensation of the light oil in pipe lines causes large leakages and lowering of pressure —troubles that are mostly eliminated when the gasoline is removed. As automobile fuel the extracted gasoline is worth about 30 cents a gallon, the several hundred million gallons obtained yearly from this source being prized over ordinary gasoline on account of the lower boiling points. *
