BURNING ICE FIELDS.
A Lake in he Stlte of Xaneas That
Il 1ndammable.
Aooo~ntoA Fer ~ the. Fact TAAt
Natural oAo AbO0nds IN the
R0uAoA-A Most In.
90l0R Sight.

It seems somewhat surprlsing state
ment to make that on the recovered
surface of Kansas lake it 10 possible
to build bonfire by simply breaking
through the ice and applying = match
to the surface of the water. The flames
will shoot up AZ high as = man and will
burn brightly for q minute or two. This
is what has been possible for several
winters on Doniphan lake, Kan~as, and
on one Of it's tributary streams.
The fuel for these fres is natural
gas, which bubbles up through the w.
Yer the year round, but it 10 only during
the very cold wintry nights that it IL
thus temporarily stored under the ice
IN immense bubbles or pockets, some
times ten to twenty square yards in
extent. Puncture these bubbles with .
ehisel, apply lighted match, and one
has a roaring fame before which the
skater may warm his benumbed fngers.
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 can get
out Of the way Of his impromptu torch.
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
q few days. for the gas, coming from
a considerable depth in the earth, 10
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.
poniphan lake is located about four
miles north of Atchison, Kan, and is
river lake; that il, it was formed from
a bend Of the Missouri river by the
water taking = short cut across the
MARROW neck Of the bend, thus leaving
the old bed to be occupied by . beau
tiful horseshoe lake about i've miles in
length. This happened during the high
waters OF the spring and early sumner
Of 1891.
Because the neck il thus comparatively
recent in formation, some observers have
contendsd that the gas which collects
under the ice is only marsh:gss. But
the supply is too great to be accounted
for in that manner. Were it marsh gas,
it 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 tain localities,
and the eastern arm Of the lake 10 with
out gas. Besides, the places of dis
charge ore the same the year round.
On the Missouri side Of the river are
three other lakes Of like formation:
Mud, Sugar and Bean lakes. These do
not show gas except in occasional very
small bubbles.-Scientihc American.
