Water in the Earth.

In years past an impression prevailed
very generally that water could be pro.
cured by sinking q shaft in the earth ut
almost any point. A vast amosnt OF
fruitless labor and useless expense was
the result Of this belief. But now sci.
ence has advanced 30 far tLat men are
able to tell with almost unerring Ger.
tainty whether water can be obtained in
any given place by such agencies. A
peculiar geological formation and cor
tain relative position for the well are
the prerequisites OF success. Water finds
its way from the surface Of tho earth TO
the interior through creyices and
chasms in the rocks, and through the
rocks themselves when they are porous.
In nearly all geological formations
there are certain strata, often far down,
which are water.tigllt, and these form
the beds OF the subterranean streams.
AS the water presses down from above,
it forces the streams along, md they
either burst forth in springs or remain
locked in huge reservoirs. When we'll
is sunk until it strikes one Of these or
hits a rapid current, the pressure drives
the water to the surface, exactly MS in
our cities the fluid in the storage reser.
yoirs is forced into our bathrooms and
bed.chambers. The geysers Of Iceland
and Of the Yellowstone Valley are at
tributable in part to the same agencies.
They come from natural artesian wells,
probably of vast depth, for the water in
many cases is elected at boiling heat
Steam, as well as hydrostatic pressure,
is often the power that operates these
extraordinary fountains.

A Big Pile Of EdgIngs Burned.

For thirty years or more, says the
Machias (Afafnc) UIlIon, edgings and
refuse wood had been accommodating in
close proximity to the saw.mills in
Whitneyyille. The piles were Of inn
mense proportions, one pile alone GOV.
ering an acre and twenty to thirty feet
deep. By careful and q low estimate
this one pile contained 10000 cords.
The mill.owners have long desired to
get rid OF the edgings, but never had
seen tho time when they felt like afford
ing the risk to apply fire. This winter,
snow, ice, and water being favorable,
after trenching and ditching and using
oil precautionary measures, fro was put
into the mountain Of wood Feb. oath.
Some people became alarmed, antici-
pating a sweep OF the mills and Of the
whole town. Word came TO Machias
for help. The fire department dis
patched one Of their engines and mer
TO care for it. The engine at Whitney
vile was put in readiness. All day
Monday the pile shrunk before the
flame, and all night careful watch was
had. The wind was iayoroble, 50 thai
by Tuesday night tho fire had made it
conquest, the great pile had nearly dis
appeared, aud no damage occurred K
the mills or property Of any kind. By
the removal OF this pile OF combustibl'
material the mills arc more valuable
and the whole town is freed from
great exposure by FIRE, which might oc
cur most destructiyely in q summer
drouth.
