Professor ]. A. Ferguson of the
Pennsylvania State college, reports
curious phenomenon connected with
the cutting OF hardwood trees in the
ozark mountains. Cavities near the
base OF the trees are often found TO
contain gas. When these cavities are
cut into by the oak tie cutters of the
region the gas escapes with a whistling
sound. showing it to be under pres
sure, and if lighted it win burn with a
faint yellow flame. The sides of the
cavities containing gas are in all cases
darkened and look as though scared
with a hot iron. The popular belief
Of the district is that these trees are
connected through their roots with a
subterranean supply of natural gas,
and the land ON which they grow is
valued accordingly. An examination OF
the gas collected from cottonwood
tree was made by Professor Busong,
of the University of Kansas, and 1t
was found to be substantially the same
as natural gas with the addition of
some free hydrogen. Professor Fergu-
son believes, however. that this gas,
is the product of decomposition OF the
heartwood of the trees.
