The Cleveland Herald, of October 10Th,
saws There are numerous issues OF in
hammable gas on the farm of Mr.. Michael
Faulkner, in Brecksvile, in this county.
About an acre of the bottom lands on the
Chippewa give forth the gas, the soil be-
ing exceedingly porous, and filled with
cracks, from which the gas escapes.
Place common tin horn over one Of
these cracks, apply match to the top,
and brilliant flame of yellowish appear
ance breaks forth, which will burn stead
lily for weeks. The proprietor made an
excavation 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. II continued to
burn until the ground caved in and
smothered the fumes.
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 ha>
attracted many visitors TO see the earth
burn. The existence OF the gas has been
known there for a dozen years OF more,
aud the quantity escaping, which is large,
seems to be increasing rather than other
wise. Cannot Natures gasometer be APP
