Indeed, morethan half thezinc made in theUnited States issmelted byKansas gas, andmore than halfof this is pro-duced at workswithin the lolaquadrangle. Bulletin , by U. Fuller,E. F. Lines, andA. C. Veatch,gives a record of deep-well drilling for 1904, and is thefirst of a proposed series of annual publications. The re-port embodies the records of a large number of wells, formany of which sets of samples are Oil Companys Well N THE APPLICATION OF SCIENTIFICMETHODS TO THE STUDY OF remarkable change which during the last fifty yearshas passed over most subjects of study owing to thegrowing dominance of the scientific spirit has not lefthistory unaffected. The leading historians of the presentday are essentially men of science. They are diligent intheir pursuit of truth and skilled in the special methodsof research which their subject demands. They arestrikingly impartial in their judgments, constantly on theirguard against the prepossessions so liable in matters ofpast politics to bias opinion. Thev are ever on the alertto discover unifying principles, general laws, large uni-formities, without which no body of historic facts, howeveraccurately ascertained and however impassionately selected,can justify the claim of history to be regarded as-a science,or can make history worthy of the serious attention ofintelligent men.
