The Artesiau Well.

From the Paris correspondent of the Newark
"Daily Advertiser" we extract the following
! item of interest
One of the most extraordinary things in PARIS.
or indeed in the world, is the artesian well of
Grenelle. 1t was begun in 1884, and finished
after several forced suspensions about the year
1871. 1t is bored in the centre of the Court of
The Abbatoir, goes LOO ieet into the bowels of
the earth, and the column of water, nine inches
IN diameter, rises In copper tube one hundred
and twelve feet above the surface From this
elevation it descends by means OF another tube to
the ground, and is conducted to the reservoir at
the Pantheon, whence it is distributed for the
OF the inhabitants. The temperature of the wa
ter IS constantly about 80 deg. Fahrenheit. 1t
holds several salts in solution among the rest ror
(which colors glass submitted to its action,) and
is highly charged with carbonic acid gas. Now
what is most interesting about this well is that
the facts developed by it. it being the deepest yet
bored have served to explode the old doctrine
/ that such wells were mere examples OF Jet of
water having its head on some mountain or high
table land passing under ground and springing
through the outlet up TO the height OF its head.
The force that drives column OF water up to
an elevation of 1SOO feet, and with such great
Pidity as to supply 100000 gallons in "a hours
the force that shows itself to be variable, some
times comparatively quiet, at others almost ter
rlfc in It's violence, Is thought TO be volcanic.
and to result from expansion within the inner
crust OF the earth-to be- in fact. sort of explo-
sive escape from an artificial valve in the i'm
mense steam boiler on whose surface we live.
When the well was first opened, and before the
water carried to its present heigth, vast guam
titles of mud came over, from which the height
of the column now clarifies it. But for while
the residents in the vicinity were greatly alarm
ed. thinking that the ground on which they lived
was being gradually undermined by the action of
the water. ani that some day they would be en-
quilted. This notion has long ceased to alarm
them, as it is evident that the augur has pierced
through the rocky exterior into me very interior.
the soft central mass of the earth. whence the
detrilus that frightened the Palisians proceeded,
and not, as they imagined from just beneath their

To PRESERVE STEEL GooDs FROM RUSHING
The simplest way Of preventing the oxydation of
polished iron and steel goods is TO dust them over
with quick-lime- Where the articles are requir-
ed to be preserved for many months (such as pol
ished steel grates strips Of dry brown paper free
ly covered with powdered lime are to be wrap
ped round the bars; OF they may be placed in cas-
es, and the Interstices filled up with quick lime
Pianoforte wire and small goods are preserved in
the same way The rationale of the method is
this-steel will not oydize in DRY air. The pre-
sence OF quick from its hygrometric proper
ties, secures dry air. and thus indirectly the lime
preserves steel from rust This is not new plan,
but Is the method adopted by the majority of the
Birmingham houses
ANOTHER WAY-Smear with strong mercury
ointment. Wipe carefully before using

The first examination made of these cop-

in despair.
A company had then been organized at
Stanford, by Messrs. Tyson, from Balt-

purpose Of digging and working the Copper
mines in that town. rolling, smelling &c.
When Messrs- Spencer q Co. failed, the
Stanford Company purchased the ore on
hand, transported It to Stafford, and there
worked II. In 1882, the SiraiIord Company
sent few hands to the Vershire mine, who
worked there through the summer season
with tolerable success. The business at
Stanford was finally wound up, and the
work at Nershire was again suspended
