FIELD ON FIRE TWO MONTHS.
Peculiar Phenomenon Near Indian

Peculiar Phenomenon Near Indian
apoIis-was Once a Swamp.
A field which has been burning cease
lessly for two months is the remarkable
phenomenon presented by farm adjacent
to the village of haywood, near Indian
apolis. This field is not towering Vesu.
vius. but is rather valley, and from its
deepest part comes the smoke that some
believe is the precursor of a worse flame
that may reduce the village in the number
of houses if not in the number of persons.
Two months ago smoke was seen COM
ing from the ground on a lowland spot
of the Campbell farm 1t was thought
strange by those who saw it, but it was
believed to be nothing more than the
smoldering remains of some fire. But day
after day the smoke ascended or blew a
great distance, clinging, although treach-
erously, to the ground. After week or
SO farm hands passing the field saw
flames minglng with the smoke. They in
vestigated and found the dry grass and
black earth on fire. Sticks were driven
into the ground and it was discovered
that for depth of from two to four feet
the earth was absolutely reduced to ashes.
The field in which this peculiar fire is
burning is n DOttOm nelu OF Diack eartn
that shows clearly its vegetable origin.
Those who have lived at the village for
years say that twenty years ago the field
was swamp, seemingly ages old, and that
il was years before even cattle could be
suffered to tread it in search of pasture
food Recently attempts have been made
TO cultivate it, but none was made this
year. The field looks as though giant
mole had gamboled under its surface, for
tits ridged with tunnels, whose upper sides
sometimes assume the prominence Of
miniature mountains. The manner in
which the fire is breaking out is evidence
of its subterranean origin. So complete
has the destruction of the earth and grass
been in the district patches that the little
portions where yellow, withered grass
may be look like oases in a desert

there has been friction between him and
the chief of the weather bureau. So Sc
we're has been the strain in their relations,
it is understood they had held no personal
communication with each other for more
than a year, but that their correspondence
had been confined almost entirely to mis-
sives of the most severely official style.
The difficulties came to n climax soon
after the change of administration, when
an investigation was instituted by Sec
rotary Morton into the business affairs Of
the weather bureau, the results of which
did not implicate Professor Harrington in
any way. This, however. did not ease the
strain between him and the Secretary, and
it is we'll understood that for nearly two
years the chief of the bureau has had
practically nothing TO do with the routine
management of his Office, which has been
governed almost entirely from the de-
partment. 1t is no surprise to those who
are we'll informed that the difficulties
have now eliminated in the summary re-
moval of Professor Harrington. as il is
known that he has steadfastly refused to
