Water TO Burn.

Anastasia Island has water to burn
and in any quantity and at all times.
Some months ago Mr.. ]. d. Dowd
thought that he would like cottage
by the oceans shore, and he procured
a site near Jack mound on the island.
Near by there was an artesian we'll
bored by the old South Beach Com
pany, but owing to its gaseous fumes
the water was refused by the thirsty.
1t is also recalled that several years
ago the little children spat the water
out saying; "Its whiskey," when a
picnic was given there, The well has
remained covered over ever since.
With Mr.. Dowd came also a pros
pector from Niagara Falls. He smelled
the water, tasted it, as did his frien d
Dowd, but said nothing. Meanwhile
some of the water was sent so Wash
ington for analysis, and the chemists
there asked ii the water was from
Niagara's burning well, as it contained
all the ingredients but one. This one
lies in the we'll at Anastasia Island.
Mr. Dowd has laid pipe from the
we'll to his cottage, where he has erect
ed a small house to hold the reservoir
into which he let's the water flow and
then lights it. 1t burns at his pleas
ure and is extinquished by an ex-
tinquisher made large enough to cover
the reservoir. The water is heavily
charged with sulphurus gases and will
burn for long time. Jacksonville,
Fla, Times Union.
