ON the shores of Casco Bay, six miles
from Portland, Me-, in the locality
known as Falmouth Foresidc. there
exists a water course that is unique
among the springs of the world. From
the bottom Of a deep canyon that runs
up from the bay through a bed of
~quicksand that engineers have been
unable to sound there comes a stream
of water in a volume sufficient to sup
ply a small city. and in chemical
purity unequaled by any known water.
Neither drouth nor rains diminish or
increase its flow.
