] SINGULAR DIsCovERY.-A Strange geo.
logical phenomenon recently caused some Hex-
element at Murat, in France, a village stu
ated between the village of Mount Dore and
that Of St. James. A civil engineer had eaus-
ed rectangular well to be sunk to depth Of
fifty three meters through stratum of hard
tufa, which covers the primitive formation in
that district. At this depth, which is insig-
nifcant compared to thesshaft of mine, the
heat nevertheless, became so intense that the
workmen had to be relieved at short intervals.
Their wooden shoes soon became intolerably
warm, and they could not lie down to rest
themselves On .she hot ground. On the 9TH
er hand,5the appearance Of the tufa denoted
that the Well had nearly reached the granite.
The engineer on leaving the spot for while
recon mended his men to be careful during
! Ills absence and"to content themselves with
removing the rubble without going farther
down. One of them, however, in throwing
the last shoyelful into the skip, took it into
his head to remove with his pickaxe a piece
of tufa, about thirty inches in circumference,
but no sooner had he done this than he saw
the bottom ofthe hole he had made swell up.
At the same time a loud rumblng noise was
heard. The men in a fright jumped into the
cage and called to be pulled up, butthey had
barely got to the height of dozen meters
when thick column of hot water, preceded
| by violent report rose up in the air, projec-
ting huge stones upwards. The water in fall
ing scalded the men grievously. The jet d.
minished, and, the, well filed rapidly; the
poor fellows succeeded 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 into the
Dordogne. The liquid on arriving there still
retains a temperature Of forty degrees eenti-
grade. Upon analysis it has been found to
contain upwards..of twenty milHgrammes, near,
ly half grain, of arseniate Of potash per IL
ire, q proportion lunheard of before, Tho
Minister, Of Public Works has sehta commits
sior Of engineers to the spot, for further sjp-
vestigation, aud the scientific world await with
/ interest the result.
