The Deepest wen in the World.

The sinking of the deep artesian well near
Buda Pesth, Hungary, is now completed; the
works were commenced as far back as 1868,
and during their progress many interesting
facts relating to geology and underground
temperature have been brought to light. The
total depth is 5000 feet, and the temperature
of the water it yields is nearly 1859 Fshr.
The temperature OF the mud brought up by
the borer was taken every day, and was
found to increase rapidly, in spite Of the loss
OF heat during It's ascent, down to q depth OF
1890 to 2,70O feet. Beyond this point the
increase was not SO marked. At q depth OF
5000 feet the temperature was 177o Fahr.,
giving an average increase OF for every %
feet borer. Water first commenced to well
up alta depth Of 1910; here its tenpera-
tuae was HOO Fahr., and from this point on
ward it rapidly increased both in quantity
and temperature. Thus at 1902 feet, its
temperature had already risen to 1906, Fahr..
and the yield in "a hours from 6, 800 to A, 600
gallons. Finally, when the boring had reach
ed 1920 feet, at which point it was stopped,
the temperature of the water, as 1t burst from
the orifce OF the tube, was 1860 Fahr., and
the volumetric yield 272,ooO gallons in the
"a hours. This yield was afterward reduced
to 1912 gallons, in consequence Of The
bore being lined with wooden tubes, which
reduced its diameter. The water obtained
disengaged carbonic acid in abundance, and
also contains hydrogen and little sulphur
ated hydrogen, and so grains per gallon of
fixed matters chiefly sulphates carbonates
Of potash, soda, lime and magnesia.

THE VIRGINIA OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ing to our dispatches from Virginia, the Re-
publican party in that State. after dwindling
d. wn to such insignificance that it had not
seriously contested an election for several
years, encounters a sudden opportunity to
take a new lease of better and cleaner life.
Has 1t the virtue and wisdom to improve the
chance? The handful Of members whom it
mas elected to the Legislature hold the bal
ance of power between the ''debr payihg''
and ''readjusting' or ''repudiating' factions
of the Democrats. There is possibility Of
circumstances enabling them to WELD it so
as to ally themselves with the representatives
of the financial honor and business prosper
ty of the State, and effect radical recon-
structon of parties there. The good influence
Of such an alliance, not only upon the poll
tics of Virginia, but on those of the whole
nation. cannot be too highly estimated.
The conduct Of these Virginia Reput lican
Legislators will be carefully watched. for it
will afford test whether their party any
where in the South possesses the elements
of regeneration.-Neau Fork Herald.
