A BONFIRE IN THE WATER.

Where ice-fields can be burned, fuel
is hardly to be called expensive. A
writer in the Scientific American calls
attention to the fact that on the ice
covered surfaces of a Kansas lake it
is possible to have bonfires by simply
breaking through the ice and applying
a match to the surface of the water.
The flames will shoot up as high as a
mans head, and will burn brightly for
a minute or two, making the lake look
as if the ice were on fire.
For several winters it has been pos
sible to have such bonfires on Doni-
tributary streams. The fuel for these
fires is natural gas. 1t bubbles up
through the water the year round, but
it is only during very cold nights that
it is temporarily stored under the ice
in large bubbles or pockets, sometimes
ten or twenty square yards in extent.
When these pockets are punctured
with chisel and a lighted match is
applied, the eXperimenter is rewarded
by roaring fame before which he
may warm his number fingers. He who
would try the experiment, however,
must be careful to stand between the
wind and the jet of gas as he lights it,
or he will have his clothing singed be-
fore he can get out of the way.
There are places where the gas sup
ply is so abundant as to prevent the
ice from forming, except on the very
coolest nights. When such places are
frozen over they remain covered only
a few days, for the gas, coming from
a considerable depth in the earth. is so
warm that it soon melts a passage
through the ice and escapes. Last
winter ice fifteen inches thick formed
on the lake, and vet some of the areas
of gas supply were not frozen over
Near the spot where one of the
creeks enters the lake the water il
shallow, and the bottom may easily be
seen. Here the gas has formed regu-
lar channels up through the mud and
out of these large bubbles of gas are
discharged every few seconds. Doni-
phan lake is located about four miles
north of Atchison. Kan.

PABLO BEACH. FLA. September H.
The Second Virginia has arrived al
Pablo Beach. under command OF Lieu
tenant-C Colonel Roller. and the boys are
bathing in the surf and enjoying every
advantage offered by hrst-class sea-
shore resort.
The first call for reveille was sounded
Yesterday morning at o'clock and re-
veille itself at $50 A. NJ. Before day
had broken fires were burning in every
part OF the camp. tents were struck, and
baggage was packed. At o'clock, the
First Battalion, under Captain Craig

at $50 a. NJ. the Second Battalion, under

The battalons marched TO the ferry
and we're transported to South Jackson
vile. where they boarded a narrow
gauge train for Pablo Beach. Arriving
al their destination. they found their
camp-ground to be about one and quar-
ter miles from the depot Having COW
cred this distance they saw the ground
literally covered with palmettoes. palms.
plants and wire grass. 1t was the only
accessible spot at the Beach, but GER
tainly a most undesirable piece Of ground
for a military camp.
1t is necessary to haul water for at
least a mile and up to this writing no
provisions have been cooked for the men
Fortunately, payday just preceded the
move. and the boys are in a position
financially, 10 provide themselves with
provisions.
The tents are now in process Of cree
ton. The ground is being cleared and
soon the camp routine will be continued
in a regular manner. and, no doubt, the
conditions will be most favorable.
