"a DEEP ARTEsIAN WELL.-The Cincin-
natl Gazette states that the State House well,
at Columbus, is now 2,062 feet deep, and the
water rises to within 81 feet of the surface,
which gives a column of water ., ,O35 feet high.
The pressure, therefore, at the bottom of the
well, will be the weight of this column OF
water, which is 900 lbs. per square ineh or
1900 lbs. per square foot; this is equal tC
pressure of about 50 atm3spheres. Some
idea may be formed of the extent of this pres
sure, when it is stated that locomotive boilers
generally carry pressure of steam amount
ing to less than eight atmospheres. Another
fact worthy of note is, that the ssinker''-a
piece of iron, 50 feet long by2a inches in di-
ameter, and weighing over 400 lbs-which is
attached to the lower end of the poles, from
the constant agitation To which it is subjec ted,
has become 4 powerful magnet.
