Gasoline to Be Mined.
The latest estimates of tho United
States geological survey show that If
gasoline continues to bo used up at
the present rote, all the petroleum
Holds now In' use will bo oxhnusted be
fore 1050. Where, then, will the fu
ture supply of gasoline come from?
Billions of dollars are Involved in the
question. The probable answer la that
"mined" gasoline will be used.
Colorado, Utah and other Western
and middle Western states contain ex
tensive oll-benrlng deposits of bitumin
ous shale. Crude oil can be extracted
from them and this can bo distilled
further to obtain gasollnei
It Is estimated that enough gasoline
could bo produced In this way to equal
many times the amount obtnlned from
all present-day fields.
Discouraging Art.
"Why do you spend your days and
nights on these pictures?" asked the

for the paint you use."
"I know, my dear," he answers;
"but think I Itembrandt and others
painted pictures and sold them for
trifles, and they are now the master
pieces of the world and bring millions j
of dollars! I am not painting for us.
I am painting for our descendants."
"Humph I" Is the discouraging reply.
"You don't make enough for us to 'af
ford to raise any descendants." Sr.

WROTE OF LIFE AT HARVARD
Author Now Forgotten Conceded to
Have Been the First to Depict
Undergraduate Days.
Harvard graduates, the world over,
have long believed that the earliest
pictorial record of undergraduate life
at the oldest college In the United
States was made when F. G. Attwood
drew his pictures of college life for
tho first volume of the Harvard Lam
poon. The Lampoon was the fore
runner of humorous Journalism to
America; Attwood became a famous
humorist; and his "Manners & Cus
toms of ye Harvard Studente" was es
tablished as a classic. The discovery
qf a time-stained book In a New Eng
land farmhouse reveals an earlier
draftsman, whose "College Scenes"
antedate "Ye Harvard Studente" by
about a quarter of a century, but were
soon generally forgotten. Of N. Hay
ward, the artist, no record remains
but the bare fact that he was then in
college. The discoverer, however, hnd
a rare afternoon when he found the
volume In a dusty chest, where It had
been packed away with a lot of con
temporary textbooks and nn old Har
vard diploma. Christian Science Monitor.
