Abstract: There are a number of peculiar paradoxes in the gas industry. In the first place something is sold which cannot be seen, yet good money is received for it. It is called gas and as -such is hoarded, stored, and distributed very carefully, but. without paying for cr regard, a much laiger volume of another gas Is taken from the atmosphere (oxygen) in order to produce any utility from the product. In some cases The gas has a malodor to it, about which there is considerable complaint yet, in other cases, it is necessary to purposely add a smell by means of an odorant to make people complain of its presence, But perhaps the most peculiar of all is the fact that heat (which is expressed in terms of BTUs) is offered as its sole value, most calculations concerning it are performed in weight units (in grams or pounds), and final measurements aiE expressed in volume (cubic feet).
