WELL DEFIES SKILL OF MAN
Engineers Unable to confine Marvel.
GUS Flow Of Gas in Transyl-
Vania, Hungary.

There are wells Of many kinds:
those which gallons of petroleum,
those which furnish water to sur
rounding populations, wells that are
scarcely damp, and wells that periodi-
cally inundate the neighborhood in
which they are found But of all the
wells in existence probably none COM
pare in interest with a gas well in
Hungary.
This well is situated in Transylva-
MIA, and the popularity of it is that
1t is not seen but heard. The gas es-
capes by means of an iron tube with
such dreadful force as to produce
noise which makes it impossible to
hear the human voice within a con-
siderable radius.
Many and diverse attempts have
been made to regulate and utilize the
output OF gas, but so far the only de-
vice which has succeeded has been
to put an iron tube of 20 centimeters
in diameter into the earth Through
this the gas has been escaping now
for nearly three years. Engineers
from various countries have been con-
Quoted to the spot and have thought
out ingenious ways to make the gas
available and to stop the dreadful
noise caused by its escape. Every
plan has failed. On one occasion the
problem was believed to have been
solved, but it was soon found that the
gas had merely been turned aside in
its course and was escaping in the
same manner in adjacent territory
after having followed a track for some
distance below the surface.
The gas comes through the ron
tube with the velocity of a cannon
ball and it is estimated that there is
