Clinton people, in company with others throughoili, Ontario, have beau interested during the past week in; reading about the discovery of Helium at Inglewood, Peel County, . The in- terest aroused in Clinton is not solely ,on account of the importance of the discovery: of such a rare gas but also on account of the connection with that discovery 'of Prof. J. C. 1VI:Len- San • of the Toronto University, a fernier Clinton boy. Maily residents of Clinton and former residents will remember yeung McLennan during his school days when his fattier was a -resident sit this town. "We thought him" not neatly ,smart enough for tis in those days," r'eniarked Mr, W. •D, Fair to The News=Record the other day, in noting the Professor's prom- inence in connection with this scien- tific discovery. "But he has left some of us far behind." Hellin,, is a rare gas, Bruch lighter than air, which came into prominence during the war' for thio use •of flying machines, Praf,'NMcLennan received a commission about two years ago Ecom the Departnent'o'f Mines, Otta- wa, to search for the gas and tile re- sult was the disoevery in Peel. The gas will be conserved by the Govern- ment_for -scientific or perhaps' for .cennnereial uses. 'One use Prof. ]Vic- Le'iinan mentions is the ,surronnclirg of ` electrical generating machines, than adding greatly '.to their useful- ness, and it may therefore . be of great yaiao' to Hych,e.
