A CURIOUS Work OF NATURE One of the most
remarkable natural curoslties in the vicinity of
Mobile, is what is called the "Thunderng Spring."
about twelve miles from the city. The country
is considerably elevated above the level of the
river, and Is mainly of a sandy formation. The
spring, or rather It's embouchure, is apparently
about three four feet In diameter, and the fluid
has an uncertain motion, like the ebulitons on the
surface OF boiling waer-throwing up with II pure
white sand. The remarkable characteristics of 1t
are low, rumbling, irregular noise, exactly like
distant thunder, and tremulous nervous mo-
ton of the earth, which is also irregular. The
ground Tor many yards IN the vicinity OF the spring
is constantly shaking in this way, leaving i'm
preston of insecurity and extensive hollows be-
meath the surface. The water issues from the
side OF the decllvlty, which presents the appear
ance tor some distance, OF having sunk several
feet below the original surface. The volume of
water that issues from 1t, is not great as one
would suppose, without examining the stream as
it runs off. This deception originates in the pa
roxyms Of the spring, which casts up huge bubbles
mixed with sand, that fall back into the basin,
without being carried off. There has been a good
deal of philosophy uttered on this subject by the
numerous vislters to the place, butnone that seems
TO give very clear solution OF the phenomenon.
II some one had curiosity enough to open sluce,
so as to let the sand that is thrown up be hoaed
of from the source, in a very short time should
have the cause exposed TO the eye. That, how
ever, would destroy the charm of the place, and
put an end TO the many pleasant parties which con-
gregate there In the summer months. We have
no doubt that the surface of the spring has been
much higher than it is at present, and that il has
sunk several feet From the rumbling, suen
lows beneath, which will cause the surface to fall
many feet farther. The spring certainly Is a curl
osty worth visiting. IL furnishes, we imagine,
very excellent notion OF an earthquake in q small
