How much property do British sub

The total amount of land held by
this association is 100000 acres. 1t is,

MILITARY HIGHWAYS.
How q Pennsylvania Road Enthuss-
asst Would solve the Problem I'm
the Keystone State.

An elaborate system of good high
ways for Pennsylvania is proposed by
Arthur Kirk, of Sharpsburg. Pa. AS the
constitution of that state says there
Shall hc no state debt created except for
military purposes" he proposes that the
state create Il complete system of mill
itary roads, which shall traverse the
state from east to west in parallel lines
40 miles apart. and in like Kramer from
north to south. These military high
WAYS are not to utilize old roads, but
are to be laid out new under the most
expert supervisors; be constructed in
iii, best manner; have no grade greater
than three per cent, no matter what
grading may he required, and to be
from 40 to 60 feet wide.
The whole charge of building and
maintaining these highways is to be in
the hands of the secretary of Internal
affairs. who is TO have three competent
civil engineers as his cOunselors. All
applicants for positions of engineers in
charge of the construction of 'Ecse
roads are to be rigidly examined be-
fore they can be appointed. The sec
rotary is to appoint court to hear all
claims and award damages for property
taken for the construction pf The roads.
Before each section of road is com
pleted. the secretary is to sell at public
auction the right to lay and use n
double track street railway on it for
Transporting freight and passengers,
for period of 20 years. and money re-
ceiyed from this source is to become
part of the road-buiding fund.
Before the end of November of each
wear, the secretary is to notify the state
treasurer how much will be required
for the following year. which sum shall
not exceed S12,0OO,00O. On the first
Tuesday of each month, the treasurer
shall sell at public auction 20-year three
percent. state bonds, to an amount not
exceeding $l,000,000 per month, until
the sum required by the secretary is
obtained.
Such highways are expected to bene-
fit the people so greatly that they will
demand that they be built but 20 miles
apart and then ten and then five. Mr..
Kirk has given the road question much
attention both here and abroad. His pro-
posed military road law has been
printed with full explanations.

BURNING ICE FIELDS.
A Lake in the State Of Kansas That
Il Inaammable.
Accounted For By the Fact That
Natural 2As Abounds In the
Re1ion-A Most Sin
gular sight.

II seems somewhat surprising state
ment to make that ON the Recovered
surface Of Kansas lake it is possible
TO build bonfire by sim-ly breaking
through the ice and applying match
to the surface of the water. The flames
will shoot up as high as man and will
burn brightly for minute or two. This
is what has been possible for several
winters on Doniphan lake. Kansas, and
on one of it's tributary streams.
The fuel for these fires is natural
gas, which bubbles mp through the wa.
ter the year round, but il is only during
the very cold wintry nights that it is
thus temporarily stored under the ice
IN immense bubbles or pockets. some
times ten to twenty square yards in
extent. PunCturC these bubbles with a
chisel. apply lighted match, and one
has roaring flame before which the
skater may warm his benu;uhcd fingers.
The cXpcrmcnter must be careful to
stand between the wind and the jet
of gas as he lights il. or he will have
his clothing siuged 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
n few days, for the gas, coming from
considerable depth in the earth, is
so warm that il soon melts passage
way through the ice and escapes. The
present winter formed ice of Is inches
thickness on the lake, and vet 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
Donphan lake is located about four
miles north of Atchison. Kan. and is a
river lake; that is. it was formed from
water taking 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 neck is thus comparatively
recent in formation, some observers have
cOntcnded 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. We're it marsh gas,
it would rise more equally all over the
lake. for the bottom is everywhere
about the same. On the contrary, he
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 are
three other lakes OF Ike formations:
Mud, Sugar and Bean lakes. These do
not show gas except in occasional very
small bubble5.-Scientifi American.
