THE COST.

The cost OF sinking an artesian well,
owing to modern improvements in ma.
chinery, is exceedingly small. Statistics
cannot readily be obtained as to their cost
in America; as but little attention has
been given 10 the subject by the general
public, but in France years ago they were
sunk at the rate OF ftty-one cents per
loot, the apparatus used costing about
Sl00, and an instance Is recorded where
one hundred wells were sunk at a cost Of
$50 each, Under these circumstances
would it not be better for the authorities
to go TO work and make this compare.
lively costleSs experiment than to sit
helpless in their official seats while re-
yolying in their official minds impossible
theories ofincreasing the supply and re-
ltevtng the necessities OF the people !?
Tho experiment may be fraught with in.
calculable benefit to all classes OF citizens,
while helpless and inactive dependence
upon Providence is the worst way in the
world TO secure his assistance. "The
gods help them that help themselves"
