GAS IN CAVITIES OF TREES
tally Same as Natural Gas, With
Some Free Hydrogen.

Prof. J. A Ferguson OF the Pennsyl-
vania State college reports curious
phenomenon connected with the cut
ting 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 1t to be under pres
sure, and If lighted It will burn with
faint yellow flame. The sides of the
cavities containing gas are in all
cases darkened and look as though
scared with hot iron. The popular
belief OF the district is that these
trees are connected through their
roots with 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 Pro-
lessor Bushong of the University Of
Kansas, and 1t was found to be sub
stantially the same as natural gas
with the addition OF some free hydro
