INFLAMMABLE CASA CURIosITY-
The Herald, published at Cleveland, Ohio,
says: There are numerous issues of in
hammahle gas OH the farm of Mr. Michael
Faulkner In BecksvIlle, in this county.
About AN acre of tue bottom lands on
the Chippewa give forth the gas, the soil
being exceeding porous, and filed With
cracks, from which the gas escapes.
Place a common tin horn over one Of
these cracks, apply "a match to the top,
and brilliant fame of Yellowish appear
auce breaks forth, which will burn steadily
for weeks. The proprietor made an ex-
cavation some twelve feet deep at one of
the gas openings. and flung in burning
hay Quite an explosion followed, the
hay was scattered in the air, and blaze
issued several feet high. 1t continued to
burn until the ground caved in and
smothered the flames. The ground from
which the gas escapes never freezes.
and nothing will grow upon it, although
the soil is rich The location is fourteen
miles from Cleveland, and has attracted
many visitors TO see the earth burn.-
The existence of the gas has been known
there for dozen years or more, and the
quantity escaping, which is large, seems
TO be increasing rather than otherwise.
Cannot Natures gasometer be approprlat.
