Is the Earth in Danger from the
Drill?

Prof. Joseph E. Jones answers, in
recent issue of the Popular Science
Monthly, the question, els it safe to
drill the earth too much 7" The pro-
lessor assumes the earth to be hol-
low sphere filled with a gaseous SUBJ
stance, called by US natural gas, and
he thinks that tapping these reservoirs
will cause disastrous explosions, re
sulting from the lighted gas coming in
contact with that which is escaping.
He compares the earth to q balloon
floated and kept distended by the gas
in the interior, which, if exhausted,
will cause the crust to collapse, affect
the motion of the earth in its orbit,
cause it to lose its place among the
heavenly bodies, and fall in pieces
Another writer thinks that drilling
should be prohibited by stringent
laws. He, too, thinks there is a pos
sibility of an explosion, though from
another cause. Should such a disas-
ter occur, "the country along the gas
belt from Toledo through Ohio, lndi'
ana and Kentucky will be ripped up
to the depth of 1900 feet or 1900 feet
and topped over like pancake, leav
ing a chasm through which the waters
! of Lake Erie will come down, filling
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, ant
, plotting them out forever"
3 Still another theorist has investiga
ted the gas wells with telephones an
delicate thermometers, and he an
d nounces startling discoveries. He dis
It tinguished sounds like the boiling
b rocks, and estimated that mile an
Il oue.half or so beneath the Ohio an
10 Indiana gas field the temperature {
10 the earth is $4,000.
IS The scientist says an immense cav
ar ty exists, and that here the gas
y stored, that a mile below the botto
of the cavity is a mass of roarln
III seething flame, which is gradually ca
Oh ing into the rock floor of the cave
re and thinning it. Eventually t
a flames will reach the gas, and ter

The New York law providing I'M
prisonment in the penitentiary for
would.be suicides who fail to accom-
plish their object has always seemed
to humane people a peculiar harsh
and cruel enactment. This view Of
the law has recently received emphat-
ic expression at the hands of DIR. W.
Lane O'Neill, of New York, who
stoutly maintains that suicide is not a
crime. In cases of partial or complete
arrangement, or in those cases where
grief, sorrow or calamity-in which
cases are included nearly all suicides
has unsettled the reason of person,
it would be cruel and we'll nigh inhu-
man to provide the punishment meted
out to ordinary felons. The ancient
stoics held that under certain circum-
stances suicide is commendable, and
| while few can be found to agree with
this view, it cannot be denied that the
sentiment Of the country is opposed to
anv penal enactment to punish those
who attempt self.destraction and fail
Dr. ONeill contends that the law, as
it now stands, is ia remnant Of the ola
revolving and unjust system whicS IN
tiicted dishonor on the dead bodies o,
!, suicides, burying them at midnight al
crossroads, and driving stake through
!, them as if they were criminals" He
t believes that society should help the
J, man, who may outgrow his sorrow, Oh
II recover from his wounds, to return tt
activity and usefulness, by protecting
/. him from himself for awhile, and en-
deavoriug to nurse him into health o
mind and body, instead of branding
him as felon, the disgrace attaching
) to which affects not him alone, but hi
J. innocent family. In all of which Dr.
rs O'Neill voices the sentiments of a larg
v number of people, not only in the Uni
IS ted States, but throughout the ciyilize
