A DANGER AHEAD.
The Possible Consequence OF Using
Natural! Gas.

A writer in the Cincinnati Commercial,
GG=6tte SAYS that two hundred wears ago,
III China, there was Just such a craze
about natural gas rs we have in this
country to-day. Gas wells were sunk
with rs much vim and yig1r as the Ce-
lestials were capable 90, but owing to Il
gas explosion that killed several millions
of people, and tore up and destroyed IL
large district of country, leaving large
inland sea, known on the maps as Lake
Foo Chang, the boring Of any more gas
wells was then and there prohibited by
law. II seems, according to the Chinese
history, that many large and heavy
pressure gas wells were struck, and in
some districts wells were Sunk quite
near to each other. Gas was lighted rs
soon rs struck, as is done in thiscoUp-
try. 1t is stated that one well with its
unusua! pressure, by induction or back
draught, pulled down into the earth the
burning gas of smaller well. resulting
In dreadful explosion of large dis
trict, destroying the inhabitants thereof.
Lake Foo Chang rests on this district.
The same catastrophe, the writer thinks,
is imminent in this country unless the
i'"N i'3LlCb IuitlitE CeNcIpi'inelltS Ill
boring so many wells. Should similar
explosion occur. there will be such an
upheayal as will dwarf the most terrible
earthquakes ever known. The country
along the gas belt from Toledo through
Ohio. Indiana and Kentucky, will ha
ripped M to the depth of 1,200 to 1,500
feet and honped over like pancake
leaving chasm through which the
waters of Lake Erie will come bowling
down, filing the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys and plotting them out forever.
