The discovery of gas in Sussex is by no means so reacht us was often thought; for in 1836, at HawkŁurst, in West Sussex, a well was being sack, and when the firet 20 ft. of digging had been carried aut, the men commenced to work with an auger hit, waing ordinary Janterns the bottom of the excavation... When the bure reached semio 10) ft. below the point at which boring was commenced --that is to say, 148 ft. from the surfac

Die augers suddenly disappeared into a cavity; there was then a rush of yts, and two of the men were burnt to death. In

timt at a depth of 692 ft. a bud 2 ft. thick, very rich in pöffolaum, was discovere ud, and slight indications of petroleum have been noticed all through the Kimmeridge clay. On another eccasion, in 189, in- dammable gas had been net with at a depth of 300 it. The discharge of gas con- finned for three years, it being lit from time to time to gratify the curiosity of visitors. From 1889 the railway station has been lit

with natural gas; the consumption is about:

At Heathflod 70 to $0 houses aro already being eupplied with natural gas for lighting, heating, and cooking; street lamps are being lit by the use of the gas, and it is also employed in gas-engines for work that is being carried on.

Heathfield isubout 16 miles from Eastbourne. If it could bo proved that there is a huge gas field lying under the whole of the weald, then the industrial life of the South of England would be revolutionised.
