Artesian Wells in the Sahara.

A correspondent of husband makes ,
communication regarding the present
condition of the Artesian wells in
Sahara. 1t is well known that such
wells have been in operation there from
very remote period, and in the AL.
gerian Sahara add tional wells have
oeen opened with considerable success:
by the French. Between Biskra ant
Tuggurt the 434 old wells yielded in
1879 $4,000 litres of water per minute.
the 6S French ones 1856 litres. The
number of palms had increased from
$4,000 to $4,000. that of other frli
trees from 10000 to 10000. the popu-
lation from 1872 to 1881. In Decem.
Ter, 1881, the yield of water from the
wells had risen to 100000 Gtres pei
minute. But this success is confined tc
q narrow zone within which water can
be reached within a depth of 1O(
metre. and even here the behring's tina,
have been made since 1881 indicate q
diminut;on in the yield of water,
making it appear that the limit OF pro-
duction of the underground reservoirs
had almost been reached. Many of the
French borings, too, are getting stopped
up by sand, and are of too small cal
ibcr to be cleaned out and restored like
the wider Arabic ones. 1t is believed
that it will be absolutely necessary to
set abs,ut the sinking of new wells with
WIDER bore.-M Y. Post

'Yes, sal, )" said Uncle Zach, Use watched

May an Christmas day of dc same year

Further conversation proved Uncle Zach
. most incredulous person. CHANGING to
mention DR.. Carver's ieat Of breaking glass
balls with q rifle, he said:
II heerd bout dat shootin' and knowed
right of it wasn't squar'; dat was a Yankee
trick, boss, sho's you born"
"What was the trick?"
"Dar wus loadstone put into de glsss
balls, an likewise onto de bullets; 50 when

drawed togedder, which, in course, brokes

Later, Uncle Zach observed roperunning
along the side Of the car.
Boss, what's dat line fur?"
To apply the air-brake in case Of acci-
dent" Then we had further to explain how
the force of tho brake was obtained, to
which Uncle Zach responded:
Look q here boss, you sholy don't 'spect
me to bleeve dat foolishness? Why, de
biggest harricane whatever blowed couldn't
stop dis train, rlnnin' forty mile hour.
An you think / gwine to b'eeve little
pipe full of wind under de kyars can do it?
No, sah-ree!''
There are a great many Uncle Zachs who
judge everything simply by appearances.
The air-brake does not seem to be very
powerful thing, but power and efficiency are
not necessarily equivalent to bigness and
pretense.
Phillip Beers, Esq, who resides at tho
United States Hotel, New York City, and is
engaged in raising subscriptions for the New
York World Bartholdi Pedestal Fund, was
once upbraided by distinguished relative
who was physician, for commencing in
such enthusiastic terms q remedy that
cured him Of bright's disease eight years
ago. He said: ''Sir, has the medical pro-
fessiop, with all its power and experience of
Thousands of years, anything that can cure
this terrible disorder" No, no, that is
true; there is no mistake about it but that
Warmers safe cure is really q wonderfully
effective preparation. That remedy is an
"air-brake" that every man can apply, and
this fact explains whyit has saved SO many
hundreds of thousands of lives.-C0py-
