IS THERE A SHEOL?
The above question is one that
forms ti subject of considerable
discussion with many people. It
would seem, from the investigation
of a German geologist, a professor
in the Heildelberg University,
who is spending his vacation in
this country, and is examining the
natural gas region at Findlay,
Ohio, that prospects of a veritable
hot pi ice of that description has
been found.
Prof. Weissenbauer says he
found the gas well country around
Findlay greatly underestimated,
and that underneath the town of
Findlay at great depths lay a
mighty cavern filled with inflam
mable gas under tremendous
pressure.
He connected some very delicate
telephones with steel rods sunk
into the earth through the shaft to
the well to a distance far below it.
He heard boiling of the rocks,
plainly accompanied by cracking
sounds. A delicate heat instru
ment was then connected, and
aiter careful calculations based on
its results, he found that a distance
of only one mile beneath the great
gas cavity which lies under Find- j
lay a fire was raging at a tempera
ture of nearly 3,500 degrees.
So astonished was he at this j
. . j
uiowijr .-.ivu.. i. . i
to believe that it could be so.
Again and again he made the test,
always with the same result. !Nt
satisfied with making the observa
tion at one point, he took several
within a radius of three milts, and
his first observations were com
pletely continued. He says that
about. 1,200 feet below the city of
f indlay lies an immense cavern
beside which even Mammoth Cave
sinks into smallness. It is several
miles long and in some places
more than half a mile deep. This
is crowded full of gas, which is
under a pressure almost uncon
ceivable. Then comes several
strata of rock, perhaps mile in
thickness, and then this great
internal fire, at a temperature of
over 3,000 degress. He says he
discovered something of the nature
of the strata that lie between the
gas cavity and the fires.
It is at first solid rock, imper
vious and firm. Beneath this lies
a great mass of soft and crumbling
stone badly formed
and full of '
fissures. Then another liyer of!
considerable thickness, equal to
the first in hardness and solidity.
The last of these layers, which lies
directly over the fires, is melting
away. About ten miles from
Findlay, on either side, it is of
great thickness, but as the town is
reached it increases in thinness.
The furnace beneath is disintegrat
ing it, and even lessening the
barrier between itself and tne gas
wells.
From the tremendous cracking
which is to be heard by means of
the second instrument, it is almost
certain that the disintegration is
going on with great rapidity, and
the professor seems to think an
early catastrohe not only possible,
but probable.
Apparently one of the most
uncalled for vetoes of President
Cleveland, was the one U
Senator I'ulph's bill giving the
Senator lfliil'U s "m giving uicj
nty of Tacoma, W. T., the use of a j
nilitarv reservation for a public-!

TO FENCE OK SO T TO FENCE.
That is the question that sooner
or later, every agriculturist in the
country will discuss with a full
appreciation of all of the advan
tages and disadvantages. The
Husbandman says : " Unnecessary
fences are expensive property.
The cost of building is no small
amount, and besides being a heavy
tax on their owners to keep in
repair tbey occupy valuable land j
and are the most prolific breeding
place for briars and noxious weeds.
As, expensive nuisances they are
only excelled by worthless dogs."
Which is all true. The fashiui
has so interwoven itself into the
farming operations of the country,
however, that every one deems it
almost an impossibility to dispense
with the enormous expense oi
fencing in every cultivated acre of
land, fer the purpose of keeping
the growing crops from being des
troyed by the "live stock, not stop
ping to take into consideration
that the live stock could be con
fined within fenced inclcs-ires at
considerably less than one-half of
the expense of the present method
of fencing the live stock out of the
growing crops. The subject forms
a question worthy of consideration.
The California (4. A. R. encamj -ment
opened at Anaheim, in that
state, yesterday. It is expected
that 7000 people will be in attend
ance, and a regular tenting on the
(imaginary) old camp ground will
be the role of proceedings.
The Seattle Iron works, it is
said, will opt n upon a contract to
furnish 20,000 tons of steel rails for
the Lake Shore and Eastern Kai -road.
