CURIOUS PHENOMENON.—It is a curious fact coil;
nected with deep mining, that from the hours of 12
night till ,3 in the morning the disturbing influence ill
bowels of the earth obtains increased activity. lit t„1160
time it is observed by miners that water falls from raw:,,
where none is observable during the day. The volume ig
the wheel is perceptibly increased, the atmosphere 0
charged with gases which often prevent the lights frfea
burning, and small particles of earth and rock are oboe" 0
to fall from the tops of the drives. Whether this O°3:A
menon is to be attributed to the diurnal motion of the el*-6.
or other causes, it is worthy of the attention of the Cur°
—Geelong Advertiser.
