Well D1ggers tap a vein of Hot Water.

A strange geological phenomenon recently
caused some excitement at Murat, in France
a village situated between the valley of
Mount Dore and that of st. James. A civil
engineer had caused q rectangular well to be
sunk to a depth of SO metres, through q
stratum of hard tufa, which covers the pri-
mitive formation in that district At this
depth, which is insignificant compared to
the shaft of a mine, the heat, nevertheless,
became so intense that the worllmen had to
be relieved at short intervals. Their wood
en- shoes soon got intolerably warm, and
they could not lie down to rest themselves
on the hot ground.
On the other hand the appearance OF the
tufa denoted that the well had nearly reach
ed the granite. The engineer, on leaving
the spot for while, had recommended his
men to be very careful during his absence,
and to content themselves with removing the
/ rubble without going further down. One of
them, however, in throwing the last shovel
full into the skip, took it into his head to re-
move with his pickaxe a piece of tufa about
thirty inches in circumference; but no SOON
er had he done this than he saw the bottom
! of the hole he had made swell up. J-5
The men in fright jumped into the cage
and called to be pulled up; but they had
barely got to the height of dozen metres
when a thick column of hot water, preceded
by violent report, rose up in the air, pro-
Jectlng huge stones upwards. The water in
falling scalded the men grievously. The
jet diminished and the well filed rapidly,
the poor fellows succeeding, however, in
getting out in time. In the course of ten
hours the well got quite full, and from that
time rivulet of thermal water has been
flowing from the spot in the Dordogne.
The liqui on arriving there still retains
temperature of forty degrees centigrade.
Upon analysis it has been found to contain
upwards of twenty milligrammes (nearly
half grain) of arseniate of potash per litre,
a proportion unheard of before. The Min
lister of Public Works has sent commits
sion of engineers to the spot for further in
vestigation.

POETRY.
To-Day and To-morrow.
By GERALD MASSEY.

High hopes that burn like stars sublime,
Go down the heavens OF Freedom,
And true hearts perish in the time
We bitterliest need them;
But never sit we down and say,
THERE'S nothing left but sorrow"
We walk the wilderness to-day,
The Promised Land tomorrow.
Our birds of song are silent now,
There are no flowers blooming,
But life beats in the frozen bough,
And Freedoms spring is coming;
And Freedoms tide comes up Away,
Though we may stand in sorrow;
And our good bark, aground to-day,
Shall float again tomorrow.
Though hearts brood Ger the past, our eyes
With smiling futures glisten;
Lo! now the dawn bursts up the Skies
Lean out your souls and listen !
The world rolls Freedoms radiant way,
And ripens with our sorrow;
And tits the martyrdom to-day
Brings victory tomorrow.
Through all the long, dark night of years
The peoples cry assembled;
And earth was wet with blood and tears
Ere their meek sufferance ended.
The few shall not forever sway,
The many toll in SORROW
The bars of hell are strong to-day;
But Christ shall rise tomorrow.
o youths, flame earnest, still aspire,
With energies immortal;
To many haven of desire
Your yearning opes portal;
And though age wearies by the way,
And hearts break in the furrow,
Well SOW the golden grain to-day,
The harvest comes tomorrow.
