SrBTERRANEAN LAKEs.-In connection
with a notice of the suhtcrranean pond
supposed to exist ut Worcester, Mass, the
Lawrence ImCrican makes the annexed
statement:
"ln Stockton. Cal, and Immediately
around it, an abundant supply Of good wa
ter can he had anywhere by boring downa
dozen feet with common anger with long
handle. Picnic parties carry pump and
stand. lead pipe. and an augcr. as part
OF the required articles for the day. But
very short time is expended in obtaining
water. The fire reservoirs have no bot
toms and require no filing, tie water
coming in freely as soon as they are dug.
1t was necessary to change the place of
burial first selected in the town, the water
penetrating the graves and partially filling
them. Yet there is no healthier place than
that locality in that or any other State. An
a,tcsian we'll was sunk ,200 feet in 1855,
and ever since has thrown ups solid column
of water ten feet above the surface of the
ground. Seine thirty or forty miles from
Stockton there is large tract called float
land which moves on the surface, probably
n lake, several hundred feet at times. Hun
drcds of cattle Craze upon it with perfect
safety. 1t is supposed to have been formed
much as the Worcester land. There are
several pieces Of such ground in different
countries OF Europe"
