A Remarkable Well.

One of the attractions of Lemoore, as
yet but little known, although in the
future it may become famous. is the
arteslan well of the railroad company
sunk for the purpose Of obtaining water
TO the locomotives. When first tapped
it attracted but little attention; however,
a few months since its medicinal qualities
began to be talked about, it proving to
to be highly impregnated with iron and
sulphur, and now it Is all the rage there
In fact, it is claimed that its continual
use will effectually do away with the de-
sire for ardent spirits. II such be the
case, unnumbered millions of gallons of
it could be beneticially disposed of in
almost any quarter of the globe. A
pecuiiarlty of the water is that you can
drink immense quantities of it, whether
overheated or not, without feeling any
injurious effects. A story is told of it
that a gentleman who had for twenty
years been so seriously affected with
dyspepsia that he could keep
no solid food on his stomach, and
who, being a man Of means, had spent
thousands Of dollars with doctors and at
various noted springs in vain attempt
to cure himself, was induced to try the
water, and after several drinks was
greatly elated 10 lind that he could re-
tain soft boiled eggs and similar food
In a few days his Joy knew no bounds
when he discovered he could with safety
eat meat, vegetables or whatever his ap-
petite might crave He resides in San
francisco, and ever week has a guam
tity of the water shipped to him. An
other gentleman informed the writer
that he had for year been troubled with
nervous sick headache, but that since he
had commenced the use Of ttis wonder
ful water of which he drinks a large
quantity daily, his Affections had entirely
disappeared, and he now enjoys perfect
health. Many other like occurrences
were related but space forbids mention.
If the well belonged 20 a private indi-
vidual it is more than likely that sani-
tarium would be erected. which in time
would undoubtedly become a famous re-

Inquiry among the New York insur-
ance men has elected the fact that none
OF the companies insure against earth
qnakes. If fire results from an earth
quake in an insured building however,
the policies are paid. Manager Dane, OF
the Niagara Insurance Company, said !:
The nearest we come TO earthquakes are
cyclones and hurricanes. Our company
and the Continental as well have a special
insurance contract for them, but we only
insure, as a matter of course, in certain
specified territory. hardly think that
this branch OF the bus ness will last very
long, however, as only those who are pc
culiariy liable TO loss from wind storms
insure against them. The money to be
made from insurance is in the generality
OF the risks. Do think it probable that
insurance companies will include earth
quakes in their risks in the tuturel Well,
hardly. don't presume well have an
other shaking up in the time Of the pres
ent generation II earthquakes were

property should not be insured against

While the bird in its branches with bosom

From a cloud that had hovered all day in

And the oak lay shattered, struck down in

But the bird, still singing, few toward

Yet the strong frame bowed down meath

We read in Frank Leslie's Weekly that
''musical taste, which is nothing else
than a love for good music, has made
great progress of late in the United
States. Good music is now better ap-
preciated here than it was twenty, and
even ten years ago. That, however, this
love for good music is in itself proof that
operate ventures ought TO be financially
successful, is quite another matter. II
seems to become more and more evident
that artistic success and financial results
are not in the same direction, the second
decreasing with the increase of the first.
OF this, the Italian, the German and the
American operas have alike furnished
decided proof during the past season.
The fact is as it should be, and it only
repeats what has been experienced in
Europe Opera in Europe is, as a rule,
not profitable, and the best theatres
could not afford TO open their doors if
they had no Other resource than that al.
forded by the sale of tickets TO the pub
lie. The chief theatres of Europe either
possess resources Of their own, an inde-
pendent income, OF receive an annual
snbvention from constituted authorities.
Without this assistance the production
of grand opera, with all the expenses
connected Herewith, would Be absolutely
impossible in most cases, and the oper-
attic season would close at its inception.
The Milan Scala, which has acquired so
much artistic importance that a new
opera or new SINGER are not sure of sue
cess unless they have passed its ordeal,
receives a subrention of not less than
$40, 600 a year, and the season does not
last over three months Most other
theatres are assisted in the same way,
the difference being only in the sum they
receive yearly and in the giyer, whether
a municipality, petty prince OF an Em-
peror. This is especially the case in Italy
and in Germany, where opera is produced
for its own sake, and not for love of
lucre. The Bayreuth Theatre could not
have produced Wagner operas without
the assistance Of the late King Ludwig

A Big Volcanic Wave.

The KrakatOa eruption which, two
years ago, devastated large part of the
island of Java, was aided in its deadly
work by volcanic wave. one hundred
and twenty feet high. Incredible as
seems this stupendous assertion, it is sup
ported by a reasonable inference from
two or three facts.
At the Marak stone quarries there is a
hill one hundred feet high overlooking
the sea, on which the resident engineer
had erected large brick house. This
massive building was razed 10 the ground
by the volcanic wave. II washed away
the walls as neatly as if they had been

The zebra is true grit. The annual
trimming of the hooIs of one of these
animals took place recently at the Phila-
delphia zoo, in the early morning before
the visitors began TO come in. The
zebra never yields, even when cast
down and firmly bound. Leather straps
were placed about each foot, and the four
feet drawn together A bar of wood tied
IN the mouth and a number of men seated
upon the zebra's body completed the de-
tense against the animals efforts TO
sorape, which did not cease during the
operation. The misshapen hoofs caused
by the wooden floors were then sawed

Americans Buying Estates in Europe.

Wealthy Americans are following the
example of Mr. Winans the Baltimore
millionaire, in the purchase Of important
estates in EuropeOn countries. Lately
two islands, Loppen and Kalven, in the
north of Norway were purchased by an
American for the sum Of 50, 00O which
was considered a very small amount Tor
the property, as it affords good sporting
and fishing opportunities. Luppen is
about eight miles and the smaller island
three mile- in circumference, and the
shooting consisted of pyper, snipe, ptar-
migan, wild geese and wild fowl of every
description while in addition there was
any amount Of sea fishing, The climate
was beautiful in summer and the scenery
