The Connaught was stationed there to sherpiy watch the poachers and seize all vessels caught fishing inside the limit, but instead of capturing the poachers it is claimed Captain Puloit used to lay up in the harbors and have a good time.

i |THE SOIL FOR MILES AROUND SHELBYVILL? i
SATURATED WITH GAS. SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Aug. 16,-—The ex- citement over the natural gas explosion still prevails throughout the country, and thousands of people are flocking to the It is now discovered that the soil
the combustible, and by piercing the soil with a stick the gas may be ignited and ‘ablaze produced large enough to cause considerable illumination. In Van Buren ‘township, 20 miles north, the gas has ' broken into the water wells, and the use of ‘water from them has been abandoned. ‘Some of the farmers cased the wells and are ‘using the gas from them for fuel. | The whole neighborhood in the vicinity ‘of the young volcano is saturated with na- ‘tural gas, and the soil is full of it. One ‘ean ruz a crowbar into the ground at any place and then light the gas which proceeds from the soil.
This would indicate that the gas from 'the wells has found its way below the lime- ‘stone, and in many places fractures in the ‘stone permit it to escape into the sand and gravel immediately below the surface soil,
which partially prevents its escape into the ‘air. This bears out the theory that gas has ! for some time been escaping from the sides ‘of the gas wells and diffusing itself in the | sand.and gravel below the limestone. The*whole township seems to be filled with the combustible and the inhabitants ‘are threatened with disaster. No telling ‘but the lighting of a match may blow two | or three townships into smithereens. It is altogether probable that the diffusion of gas into the soil more or less affects the grow- ling crops. The great question may yet be |as to the advisability of sinking gas wells, or if sunk at all whether other methods should not be used to case and confine the ‘explosive. ' Pockets of gas are no doubt forming beneath the limestone aJl over the | region of the gas belt, and it is only a ques- | tion of time when it will break forth in terrific force. It is yet a question as to ' which is the most hazardous, the accumula- ‘tion of gas in pockets, followed by erup- tions similar to the Waldron blowout, or permitting it to permeate the soil as it is now doing VanBuren and Nobie townships, poisoning the water and air. To-day boys were roasting corn by gas jets produced by sticking canes down in the soila few feet near the volcano. The citizens will soon have to abandon their homes at this rate.
