GREAT .iE1EsIAN WELl.-The Scientific
American gives an account of a new ArteSan
well being bored in the Avenue Charles \,
at the angle of the Avcnne St. Cloud and
Betit Pare, near Paris for the purpose of sup
plying the ornamental lakes of the Buis de
Boulogne. An interesting paper has been
communicated to the Academy by VI. Dumas
ON the subject, from which it appears that
Mr. klnd, the Engineer, has undertaken to
bore well 20 inches in diameter. and con-
tlnue the sinking. if necessary, to the depth
OF 500 feet and thus obtain daily supnly
OF 10000 cubic meters Of water. b inc M ar'y

The boring was commenced on August %
last, with diameter Of IL inches. For some
time when the operations We're through MAJ,

when it was seen that whirlpool ofaigc ey-
