Abstract
THE Smithsonian Institution issues for publication in the Press interesting descriptive articles upon subjects dealt with in many of the bulletins distributed by it. These articles keep the people of the United States in close touch with the activities of the National Museum and other scientific departments and enable them to appreciate the interest and value of the work being carried on. We print below, in a slightly abridged form, an article upon the subject of Bulletin 102, part 3, of the U.S. National Museum, as it deals with a subject of particular importance at the present time, and refers to the ingenious method by which two sulphur deposits near the Gulf Coast in Louisiana and Texas are worked. The success of the process is such that the Gulf deposits are supplying practically all the crude sulphur in the United States, and its development has shifted the world's largest sulphur industry from Sicily to that country.
