While experiments are being made in arteSian well boring in Arizona it will he of interest to notice the success of similar wells recently put down in the equally arid districts of Australia. We quote the following from the Bos- ton Transcript:
 II is said that the successful borings for water in Frame County. South Australia, promise to render a large district, formerly almost destitute of water, highly valuable for agricultural or pastoral purposes. One artesian well, 400 miles north of Adelaide, sunk to the depth of 37O feet, yields 10000 gallons of excellent water day Much of the arid and inhOspitable region be tween the coast and the rich lands which have been discovered in the in teriOr of the continent is expected to be reclaimed by q systematic tapping of the springs supposed to exist be meath.
