The Deepest Wen in the world.

The sinking OF the deep artesian
well near Bnda-Pesth, Hungary, was
commenced as far back as 1868, and
during its progress many interesting
facts relating to geology and under
ground temperature was brought to
light. The total depth is 5000 feet, and
the temperature of the, water it yields
is near 1853 degrees Farenheit. The
temperature of the mud brought up by
the laborer was taken every day, and
was found to increase rapidly, i'll spite
Of the loss of heat during its ascent
down to depth of $500 to 2,700 feet.
Beyond this point the increase was not
so remarked. At the depth of 5000
Fahrenheit, giving an average increase
of one for every twenty three feet
bored. Water first commenced to well
up at depth OF 3,070 feet; here its
temperature was 10 degrees Fahreheit,
and from this point onward it rapidly
increased both in quantity and temper
ature. Thus, at {, 200 feet, the tempera-
ture had already risen $50 degrees Fab
renheight, and yield in twenty-fouf
hours from $500 to 1900 gallons. FL
nally, when the boring had reached
1900 feet, at which point it was stopped,
the temperature of the water, as it burst
from the oriffice Of the tube, was 165
degrees Fahrenheit, and the volume
tic yield 100000 in twenty-four hours.
The yield was afterwards reduced to
1877 200 gallons on account OF the bore
being lined with wooden tubes, which
reduced its diameter. The water OBJ
tanned disengages carbolic acid in
abundance, and also contains nitrogen
and little sulphurated hydrogen, and
eighty grains per gallon Of fixed mat
tiers, chiefly sulphates and carbenates
Of potash soda lime, and magnesia.

Tariff Protection for Farmers.
Hastings, Mich, Journal.

HASTINGS, MICH, JUuIllhl.
A great deal of slush is being printed
by Republican papers in Michigan, since
the star chamber conference at Detroit,
in defense of the high protective tariff
policy which is really amusing, espe-
!" the farmers are the most benefited by
protection" Any intelligent farmer
knows better. The argument u.s., that
+" protection creates and fosters a home
Market Let us see how far this VIII
extend.
Wheat, corn, beef and pork and pro-
duets of the dairy form the major portion
of the agricultural products, in fact
nearly the entire surplusage. Any one
familiar with market reports for the
past score OF years knows we'll that the
Liverpool market controls the price OF
these products the world over, and so
long as England continues to import SO
much OF these products, she will control
these prices: Protection then will not
increase price, for the whole world will
seek to sell to England that which En-
gland wants to buy. 1t is the foreign
demand for these products that 6eeps
prices up or down.
Protection has nothing whatever to
do with it.. On the other hand, what
ever pIuuuCtS III tuO AoolhS iseAheSo "
lathe the farmer has to buy, he is met
very quickly with the tariff for protec-
ton OF these products. His WOODEN
goods are costing him nearly 40 per cent
higher than they should; agricultural
implements from 90 to so per cent, books
and many other articles necessary to ais
use, 10 to 30 per cent. How then is he
to be benefited by a high protective
tariff Nearly every country IN the
temperate zone is competing with him
in the products of the soil governed by
a common market. All other countries
excluded from selling him manufactnr-
ed articles, by high protective, tariff,
which is taken advantage Of by the
manufacturers who control prices by
com binations regulating productions.
How long will our Republican hig h pro-
tective tariff arguments stand the test
of practical investigation 2 How long
will the people continue to be duped by
the corporations of the east and their
plant tools OF the west!

why the Needle Points North.

A San Fracisco gentleman wrote to
the Superintendent of the. u. S. Coast
Survey, Prof. G. T. Patterson, asking
the reason why the magnetic needle
points to the north. In reply Prof.
Patterson wrote as follows, and posi-
bly, many esfhan the original in
anirer may be gSmd to read his simple
statement of the fact in case:
The reason that the needle points in
northerly direction is that the earth in
itself is magnet attracting the mag
netic needle as the ordinary magnets
do; and the earth is magnet as a result
of certain cosmical facts, much affected
by the action of the sun. These laws
have their perodicities, all OF which
have not as yet been determined.
The inllerant and ultimate reason of
the existence of any fact in nature, as
gravity, light, heat, etc, is not known
further than it is in harmony with all
the facts in nature. Even an earth
quake is in perfect harmony with, and
the direct resultant OF, the action of
forces acting under general laws.
A condensed explanation in regard
to the needle pointing to the north
ward and southwark is as follows: The
magnet poles do not coincide with the
geographical poles. The axis of rota-
ton makes an angle of about 90 de-
grees with a line joining the former.
The northern magnetic pole is at
present near the Arctic circle on the
meridian of Omaha. Hence the needle
does not always point to the astronomi-
cal north, and is constantly variable
within certain limits. At San Francis
co it points about II degrees to the east
of north, and at Calais, Maine, as much
to the west.
At the northern magnetic pole bal
anced needle points with its north end
downward in a plumb line; at San
Francisco it dips about 60 degrees, and
at the southern magnetic pole the
south end point directly down.
The action OF the earth upon a mag
netic needle at its surface is Of about
the same force as that of a hard steel
magnate, 40 inches long, strongly mag
netized, at a distance of one foot.
The foregoing is the accepted expla-
nation Of the fact that the needle points
to the northward and southwark. Of
course no ultimate reason can be given
for this natural fact any more than any
other observed fact in nature.

Trains Run None Too Fast.
INDIANAPOLIS Journal.

A railroad official who has seen 81
years of active service recently remark
ed to the railroad reporter of the Jour
nal that it was more safe now to run
passenger trains so miles per hour and
freight trains % miles per hour than it
was 90 years ago to run them at half
that rate of speed. The Miller plat
form, the Miller and Janney couplers,
the automatic air brake, the more sub
stantial yet elegant cars, the better
track-and in saying the better track,
lie did not simply mean the steel which
has so largely replaced iron rails, but
the road as whole. The sh-plates
now make practically continuous rail.
Many derailments of trains occurred in
the early days of railroading. from
chairs breaking, and rails getting slight
ly out of position. Now there is no
trouble from this source. Then, on
we'll built roads, five cross-ties are put
in where three formerly were thought
to be sufficient. Further, equipments
are now really much more substantially
built. The locomotive now, where there
is any strain, is built stronger to meet
such strain. The coaches, from the
trucks to the body, are now constructed
much stronger than even Is years ago !;
and last, but not least, the manner
trains are now handled by experienced
train dispatchers and telegraph opera
tors, all established the truth Of his
original statement, that it was safe to
ride so miles per hour, and really more
safe than to ride 90 miles per hour 90
years ago.
