Mrs. Langtry's Well.

Work is still progressing on the artesian
we'll being sunk on the property swned by
Mrs. LAngtry, near Carson. AS we under
stand it now the we'll is more of mine than
a well. Rock has been struck at depth Of
74o feet that assays in the neighborhood Of
$500 per ton. Sam Davis, the editor Of the
Carson Atpealis managing Mrs. Langtry's
property, and since he has become a convert
to the divining rcd theory, has every faith
that the mine will yet prove on Of the richest
and most extensive in the State. There are
many people who believe in Mr.. Norrie's
theory besides Mr.. Davis, and it is sincerely
to be hoped that the find will prove to be
all that is claimed for it. Davis is q rustler
for Carson, and at the same time is giving
Mrs. Langtry full value, in advertising, for
all the money she is putting up.

1t is not often that Dayton society folks
are long IN finding out what has taken place
in our community, or what is going to take
place, but Senator Westerheld is about as
cute IN love affairs as he is in politics, and
he ha. fooled the boys, as the following
notice which he handed in yesterday will
show:
"Married, at the Woodwork Mill resi-.
dence, Jan, 18th, 1888, w. J. Westerheld
and Mary R. Sims, both Of Dayton"
The Senator is one of our most prominent
citizens and politicians, and his wife is we'll

ladies. The TINES joins with their friends
in wishing the newly married couple long
life and pleasant one.

giving up to the standard she knows
just as much and just as little as she

thinking she knows more, only be-

STRUCTURE OF JELLY-FiSH.

Its Swimming Apparatus. GeIatinous Fell
and Poisonous Tentacles.
The active jelly-fish is as different
from all the members of the hydroid
colony as butterfly is from cater
pillar. When fully grown it is vastly
larger than a hydra, and it has we'll
developed swimming apparatus, which
is under the control of "a nervous sys-
tenn, which again is brought into rela-
ton with the external world by means
of special sense-organs. 1t is gelatin
Gus bell, from the inner surface of
which the pendent stomach hangs
down like bell clapper while the
long, graceful, thread-lil1e tentacles are
attached atregular intervals around the
opening of the bell. The locomotor
muscles are so distributed over the in
ner surface of the bell that their con-
traction squirts ont the water in Jet
which propels the animal in the
opposite direction; they are then re-
Taxed, and the elasticity of the gelatin
Gus substance of the wall of the bell
causes il to expand and to draw in an
other supply of wate., which is dis
charged by the next muscular pulsa-
ton. The tentacles are so elastic and
hair-like that they are held by the re
slstance of the water, and are drawn
out behind the animal into fine, CLASSY
threads which are thrown into graceful
undulations at each pulsation as it
swims through the water, and, when it
comes to rest and sinks slowly toward
the bottom, they form web or net
which is almost invisible, but far more
dangerous than any spiders web, for
every thread is covered with the ter
rible poison-darts. Prof w. K. Brooks,
