Abstract: Natural gas was first discovered and put to use several thousand years ago in tlie Orient. The Chinese, who were the first in the invention and application of many useful things, were the first to use natural gas for fuel and many of the gas uses were adopted by Western civilization. In quest for salt they drilled wells to a depth of 2000 feet and by accident natural gas was found. They transported the gas through bamboo pipes to the point of use. Japan is recorded to have had gas wells as early as 615 B.C. The Japanese word for natural gas is KazaKusadzu which means wind or air and etymologically is identical to the Western word gas which is the invention of the Belgian eliemist Van Helmont. There is also recorded facts that during the time of Julius Caesar open gas flames were visible in France.
