Natural Gas In india.

Consul General William IA. Michael
OF Calcutta writes that 20 miles from
Chittagong natural gas issues from a
crevice in the ground IN considerable
quantity. II has been burning SO long
that the oldest inhabitant can give
no idea of when or how it was set on
fire The general belief among the
natives is that the gas has been on
hre for centuries, At any rate. the
gas flow has been h4rning as far back
as any records have been kept by
white people
10 IS now suggested--and some steps
nave been taken to carry out tile sug.
sesuon-that the fire be oxtinghshed
and the gas be brought under control
and piped down TO Chittagong Cor
lighting and fuel and power purposes.
The citizens of Chlttagong have con.
cIudcd that # would be cheaper TO uul-
ize the gas than to introduce electric

wounded twice in the fighting
around Colenso. When the British
succeeded in cutting cable communi-

and from there he wrote dispatches
to the Petit Bleu, the official Euro

When the ship that Conveyed him

the taking of the city when, a traitor
hauing revealed the plot, Duquesne

is the dangerous side only of African
hunting that has any attractions for
the man with any sporting instincts
in him, and it is only that side of
the hunt that is of interest to the
laity.
According to present intentions, Mr..
Cunninghame will take the Roosevelt
party over the route I have covered
twice, the last time very recently.
What I have passed through Roose-
welt must face. He will be lucky If
he comes out alive.
Like most Beers, have been hunt
ing, on and off, and associating with
hunters since I was ten years old.
Danger and hairbreadth escapes have
happened so frequently to me that
most of MY hunting experiences ap-
pear almost too commonplace to
record. Yet some Of them stand out
wildly from the rest, especially those
of recent occurrence. It would be
impossible to hunt any length of time
in Africa without having some adven-
lures worth relating. adventures in
which a steady eye. nerves of steel,
and brain as quick as lightning are
life-saving essentials to big game
