ICE THAT BURNS.
Kansas Lake That VIII Flame Z
FierceIy at the Touch 4
of "A Match.

1t seems a somewhat surprising state
nent to make that on the ice-covered
surface of a Kansas lake it is possible
20 build bonfire by simply breaking
through the ice and applying "A match
10 the surface of the water. The flames
will shoot up as high as man and will
ourn brightly for a minute or two. This
s what has been possible for several
winters on Doniphan lake, Kansas, and
on one of its tributary streams.
The fuel for these fires is natural
gas, which bubbles up through the wa
ter the year round. but it is only during
he very cold wintry nights that it is
thus temporarily stored under the ice
ii immense bubbles or pockets, some
times ten to twenty square yards in
extent. Puncture these bubbles with a
chisel, apply lighted match, and one
mas a roaring flame before which the
skater may warm his benumbed fingers.
The eXperimenter must be careful to
stand between the wind and the Jet
Of gas as he lights it, or he will, have
his clothing singed before he eieo get
out of the way of his impromptu torch.
There are places where the gas sup
oily is so abundant as to prevent the
&c from forming, except on the very
coolest nights. When such places are
frozen over they remain covered only
4 few days, for the gas, coming from
considerable depth in the earth, is
so warm that it soon melts a passage
way through the ice and escapes. The
present winter formed ice of Is inches
thickness on the lake, and yet some of
the areas of gas supply were not frozen
over. Near the entrance of one of the
creeks into the lake the water is quite
shallow and the bottom may be read
lily seen. Here the gas has formed reg
ular channels up through the mud, and
out of these large bubbles of gas are
discharged every few seconds.
Doniphan lake is located about four
miles north of Atchison, Kan. and is
river lake; that is. it was formed from
a bend of the Missouri river by the
water taking a short cut across the
narrow neck of the bend. thus leaving
the old bed to be occupied by beau
tiful horseshoe lake about five miles IN
length. This happened during the high
waters of the spring and early summer
of 1891.
Because the neckis thus comparatively
recent in formation. some observers have
contended that the gas which collects
under the ice is only marsh gas. But
the supply is too great to be accounted
for in that manner. Were it marsh gas,
ii would rise more equally all over the
lake, for the bottom is everywhere
about the same. On the contrary, the
gas is supplied only in certain localities,
and the eastern arm of the lake is with
out gas. Besides, the places of dis
charge are the same the year round.
On the Missouri side of the river arc
three other lakes of like formation:

BRITISH IN AMERICA.
1t Is Estimated Tant British Sub
jccts own Twenty Million
Acres Here.

How much property do British sub
jects own in America? The aggregate,
based on absolute facts, is known to
be at least 20000.O0O acres.
The largest of all is probably the
Texas possessions of the syndicate.
which includes in its membership the
dukes of Beaufort and Rutland, Earl
Cadogan and Baroness Burdett-Coutts.
The total amount of land held by
this association is 100000 acres. 1t is,
as is the case with most of the Texas
land, largely composed of what is called
range country; that is, land that is bet
ter adapted for cattle raising than any
thing else.
Cattle and wheat are what the Brit
ish investor seems to think money
should be made on in the United States.
That is why the syndicate represented
by the British capitalist Vincent Soul
ly owns 100000 acres of land in Ne
braska, Iowa and Illinois. This prop
crty is situated in the heart of the
wheat growing section.
Two American girls. who now wear,
by virtue of their marriage with Eng
fish peers, two of the highest British
titles-the duchess of Marlborough and
Lady Randolph Churchll-are interest
ed with Sir Edward Reed in a syndicate
that owns 100000 acres, situated in
Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico.
This is purely cattle country, and on
it range thousands of head of live stock.
There is another syndicate which in
cludes among its members the earl of
Dalhousie, as well as Viscountess Cross,
Lady Hamilton Gordon, Marquis ChoI-
mondeley and several others.
Here is holding in a still different
part of the country, for the lands of
the syndicate comprise 100000 acres
in Mississippi, including cotton planta-
tons, acres and acres of sugar cane and
enough swine to stock 1000 farms.
Lord Tweeddale is a syndicate in him
self and owns 100000 acres. Like
most individual land owners with large
holdings, his property includes a vast
territory, which, like that of the syndi-
Gates spoken of, includes immense
tracts of grazing lands. Nearly all of
this immense possession is devoted to
stock.-London Tit-Bits.
