NATURAL GAS IN scHRooN LAKE.

7 o INe HU TFoF OF TING IrIbuHe
Sir: One of my statements in my communication
concerning tho natural gas in schroon Lake published
IN your Issue OF February 25 has been greatly mis-
understood and unfavorably criticised Please allow
me to explain that by the statement that the gas
sometimes "penctrstes tho ice when II Is not too
thick" do not mean that It penetrates through the
leo itself, but through cracks descending 10 tho water
and airholcs formed IN the leo By natural causes.
when tho Ice Is not too thick The gas also some
times rises in holes made by for the purpose OF
fishing, gathering ice for use. OF allowing the
gas TO escape and ignitng IL for the Toe when LEO
from snow, is 10 be OF a whittier color where the
rises up to It than elsewhere and the presence Of
the gas IS thus determined. would also add that It
has recently been ascertaned beyond doubt that the
presence Of the gas IN the lake and its ln1smmabity
have been known for more than forty years BY as
least four persons now living In the village OF sehroon
Lake. A sCHROON LAkER.
