J E Thickston of Metuchen says a Great Opening in the earth’s crust could release vast gas reservoirs under Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. He warns of a possible disaster rivaling the Johnstown flood, but argues oil and gas sands vary in porosity and explosions are practically impossible due to gas pressure and water sealing wells.

Scientific misgivings on natural gas and petroleum myths

The text rebuts alarmist objections about gas and oil depletion, debunking semi-scientific fears since 1860. It cites Ashburner’s dismissal of critics and mocks historical notions from a Jersey warning to primitive theories of earth lubrication, including a 1861 Christian Scientist critique and absurd candle-tallow tales.
