square yards in extent. Puncture these
bubbles with ehisel, apply a lighted
match, and one has roaring flame be-
fore which the skater may warm his be-
numbed fingers. The experimenter must
be careful to stand between the wind ard
the jet of gas as he lights it, or he will
have his clothing snged before he can get
out of the way of his impromptu torch
There are places where the gas supply
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 considerable depth in
the earth, is so warm that it soon melts
a passa geway through the ice and escapes.
The present winter formed ice of fifteen
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 readily
seen. Here the gas has formed regular
channels up through the mud, and cut
of these large bubbles of gas are discharg-
ed every few seconds.
Doniphan lake is located about four
miles north of Atchison. Kan, and is a
river lake; that is, IL 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 a beautiful horseshoe lake
about five miles in length. This happened
during the high waters of the spring and
early summer of 1891.
Because the lake Is thus comparatively
recent in formation, some observers have
commended that the gas which collects I'M
der the ice is only marsh gas. But the sup
ply is too great to be accounted for in that
manner Were II marsh gas, it would rise
more equally all over the lake, for the bot
tom is everywhere about the same. On the
contrary, the gas is supplied only in GER
tain localities, and the eastern arm of the
lake is without gas Besides, the places of
discharge are 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.
1t is not surprising that natural gas
should be found in Eastern Kansas. A Dor
ing at Kansas City about So miles south of
Doniphan, gave a small supply of gas a
few years ago. Ninety miles southwest of
Kansas City, at lola, Kan, a gas well in
recent years furnished 100000 cubic feet
of gas per day.
There is no doubt that the Doniphan gas
is true natural gas. and comes from the
interior rocks of the earth. The question of
quantity can only be determined by pros
pectng. Should a 'gusher' be struck
there, it would be a great find, for st. JOS
eph, Mo-, is only 10 miles to the north
Atchison is practically on the field, and
Kansas City is less than 60 miles to the
south.

PATAGOAIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP.
The Remarkable and Unerring
weapons in Use About Cape Horn.


From the Boston Transcript.
1t may be as well to refer to some other
tribes about Cape Horn which attracted
the attention of Prof. Hatcher For ex-
ample may be mentioned the Yahgans,
who live nearer to the South Pole than
any other known people They occupy
certain small islands lying south of Ter
ra del Fuego. and are found also on the
south beach of that great island itself.
The territory they occupy is a maze of
mountain peaks, and the conditions I'M
der which they exist are almost beyond
realization by a civilized person.
The typical weapon of the Yahgans Is
the rawhide sling, with which they are
able to hit a water fowl at 200 yards. To
hit any bird at that distance would be
called right good shooting They can
knock down and stun a guanaco with a
heavy round pebble up to a hundred
yards. The reason for the sling as a tool
of destruction is found in the fact that
the Yahgans live onsthe beachs where
plenty of round pebbles are always at

whale blubber and store it up for future
use in the bladder-like leaves of a kind of
seaweed found everywhere in that region.
Quite distinct and peculiar is the Ona
tribe, which inhabits the prairie region
of Terra del Fuego. This great island
has the shape Of a triangle and is almost
as large as the state of New York Once
upon time it must have had a tropical
climate, inasmuch as the bones of mon
keys and parrots are found fossil there
in great numbers.
The Onas have no horses. They eat
those they capture from the sheep men.
considering horse meat the greatest of
delicacies. They depend for food chiefly
upon the guanaco, which abounds in
Terra del Fuego, and a kind of prairie
squirrel. In the chase they rely mainly
upon bows and arrows and the bolas, the
latter consisting of two or three stone
balls on the end of hide throngs. On be-
ing thrown the balls diverge in obedience
to centrifugal force and fly round and
round in the air until the object is struck
when the thongs wind themselves about
II. These savages can throw the bolas so
dexterously as to fasten man to his
horse. The Onas, however, often kill the
guanaco by surrounding a bunch and
running them down, so wonderfully fleet
of foot are they.

all over the state as the boss wolf hunt
err" Corbin has made a life study Of
wolf trapping, and as a result has caught
more wolves than possibly any other hunt
er in the Northwest. He is accustomed
to compute his seasons catch by hun
dreds. and as the bounty on the animals
ranges from 50 to s. a head, according to
the county in which they are caught, he
makes a good living at wolf trapping
alone.
Corbin is a Virginan by birth. and has
been a hunter and trapper all his life. In
addition TO his duties as a wolf hunter
he keeps a small store and a sort of inn
or halfway house, where settlers en- route
to town may stop over night. Every sea-
