ECLECTIC MAGAZINE
Foreign Literature, Science and Art.

Foreiy, Literature, Science and Art.
Established in Is44. the ECLECTIC enters with
the January number upon the twenty eighth year
Of ITS existence. This fact alone speaks IN uch for
the character OF the publication, for no magazine
could have lived 80 long amid the fierce rivalry
without possessing = high degree OF merit and
meeting q well-dehned want: but 1t 10 not TOO
much 10 say that, during all these years, the EC-
LECTlC has been recognized AZ the ablest eXp po-
nent IN America Of that vast intellectual activity
which finds expression ia the periodical literature
Of Europe. The plan OF the ECLECTIC Is to Sc
lect from the held thus outlined, all those srtl-
eles, Essays, Reviews, Tales, Stories, and Bio
graphical sketches, which are likely 10 prove en-
teftaining, instructive and permanently valuable
and II commencs Itself especially to that great
body Of iniellige readers who seek profit well
NJ amusement in solid and heslthful literature.
Besides the longer articles, which themselves
represent every variety of subjects, the Eclectic
has five editorial departments-Literary Notices,
Foreign Literary Notes, Science, Art, and Narie-
ties.
The volume for 1872 will not be less attractive
than those which preceded them. With lncreas-
ing facilities and increasing patron age the COM
ing volumes will be more thoroughly representa-
tive than ever before Of the test Intellectual
progress Of the times.

natural curiosity is suggested, which has

Some six miles east of Crab Orchard. in
Lincoln county, there Is a spring known as
the Burning Well" situated at the very
base of the Cumberland mountains. and on
the banks Of a small stream called Dix river.
The water in this well Is in a constant state
Of ebuliiion, aud regularly every day, be-
tween four and five o'clock in the afternoon,
oyerhows. a large quantity of gas is liber-
ated, said to be ca carbureted hydrogen gas, to
which light being applied, a flame scme-
lines len or fifteen feet in height results
The only peculiarly curious feature cr this
well is the diGrral and iufallbly regular
overflow, as there are several "bprning
weiis," socallCd, in this and other States
One gentleman, who proiesses to have de-
voted good deal of time and attention 10
the subject, explains this phenomenon on the
hypothesis that the ratification Of the atrnos-
phere caused ly heat relieves the atmospher-
&c pressure upon the water, allowing the gas
confined below 10 make its escape by forcing
the water upward. This might be satisfac-
tory but the phenomenon occurs some two
