The Wyandotte company are engaged in
boring an artesian well, and are very
sanguine of getting water. II, however,
they should fail to get water by boring,
they can get plenty by bringing in pipes
q distance of thirty miles; and q COM
pany having the showing of mineral that
they have will be very likely to bring
the water in, if necessary for the sue
cessful working of their mines.
LIFE ON notwithstanding to the Iron
Age, Prof. Lockyer is of the opinion that
human life on the planet of Mars may
be very much like life on the earth, the
light cannot be so bright. but the organs
of sight may be 80 much more Susceptible
as to make the vision quite as good; the
heat is probably less, as the polar SHOWS
certainly extend further, but by no
means less in proportion to the lessened
power of the solar rays. He agrees with
others. that several very remarkable seas,
including inland seas. some of them con-
nectd and some not connected by straits
with still larger seas. are now definable
in the southern hemisphere, in which,
as is the case also with the earth, water
seems to be much more widely spread
than in the northern hemisphere. There
is, for example, southern sea exceed
ingly like the Baltic in shape; and there
is another and still more remarkable sea,
now defined by the observations of many
astronomers, one near the equator, q
long struggling arm. twisting, almost in
the shape of an s laid on its back, from
east to west, at least a thousand miles in
length and hundred in breadth.
The MAGNET OF ScANDAL.-There ia
young man in Virginia who has the
reputation OF being very popular with
the fair sex. A woman never maets him
on the street without stopping to chat
with him for fifteen minutes. In fact il
il said that it is next to impossible for q
woman to pass by him. His plan Of
securing attention is the simplest thing
in the world. As soon as he gets within
speaking distance OF woman he remarks:
ibid yon hear OF that scandal up on B
street," The woman, no matter how
urgent her business may be, invariably
stops and pumps him at least ten min
utea for the particulars, which he always
declines to givs on the ground that he
objects to spreading scandal unless he
has it from we'll authenticated source.
However, he promises to obtain further
information in q day or so, and they
part. For the next three weeks that
woman will go block out of her way
! to meet that young man and get the rest
of the story.-[ Virginia Chronicle.
