Antiaue Oil and Brine Wells

DIR. Hart in n most interesting account
OF the oil and brine wells of Western
China shows us that for nearly twenty
centuries the interchangeable Chinese have
been boring such wells to the depth OF
five thousand feet, II depth never yet
reached by our deepest wells The bust
ness of boring these wells and owning
them ha, descended from generation to

venerable proprietor laughingly said that
he had been in the business twenty gene

been boring wells since the first Emperor
of the Min dynasty
The apparatus used is rude, consist.
ing OF wrought iron borcr. sixteen
feet long, dropped by a rope through

ut the top of n frame over one hundred
feet high, and the rope is drawn by
oxen. Often they bore through thou
sands of feet of solid rock Thirty to
forty years is not an uncommon time for
piercing one of these Chinese wells. One
would imagine that the enormous labor
and time required to bore these wells
would tend 10 limit the number, But

American readers, accustomed 10 see
tomatoes in some shape on the table
nearly every day of the year, will scarcely
appreciate how nearly that familiar
vegetable comes to being rare delicacy
in England. Ten years ago it was an
exception to find this delightful fruit on
the tables of any but the wealthy; but
to day they are to be found in most
houses during the season, their extern
sivc cultivation having brought down
the price so rs to make them cone with
in the reach of all. The tomato, or love
apples as it was formerly called,
originally came from South America, but
it was not until the climate of the United
States was found to be eminentlv ADAPTED
to their growth that they came into
general use, the taste for the same
spreading to Europe. 1t is, in addition
10 its valuable hygienic qualities, one of
the most profitable fruits to cultivate.
and we know of one private gentleman
who sends no less than one ton to
market daily in the early season, the
price paid for the same averaging twelve
cents per pound, all of them being grown
under grass. Few come to perfection in
the open air, owing to the short dura-
ton of sunshine in England Like the
olive, it was long time before the
people became accustomed to the peculiar
and delicate flavor, but each day they
grow in popularity, so much SO, indeed.
that Cape Town has been requisitioned
for II supply of the same when they are

ArtCSinIi Wells.

The question of the deepest well in
America is not an easy one to answer
The data i'll regard to this matter are. to
say the least, somewhat mixed. So
far rs we know, the we'll bored bv Mr.
George Westinghouse in the yard of his
Pittsburgh residence is the deepcst one
which has been put down. At The time
OF its abandonment il had reached Il
depth of 4 ,230 feet. These NAV not be
the exact figures, but are quite near.
1t was bored for the purpose of obtain
ing gas. 1t was abandoned owing TO
the fact that some of the tools became
fast Mt the bottom and could not be re-
moved.
The artcsi;in we'll was named after Il
province IN France (Artois), where they
have been for Il long time in use. The
name Is now often incorrectly applied
to any bored well. 1t should, strictly
speaking, be used only of those wells
where the water is raised above the
ground, or above the local watcr-bcar-
ing strata, by pressure obtained from n
distant elevated source. For example,
the famous we'll Mt Grenclle. near Paris.
flowed ut the rate of $50 gallons of
water per minute, ut n height of 30
feet above the ground. It's temperature
is 50 deg. Fair. The well is /, 79S feet

\ well at pcsth yields 175, 1000 gal
Ions of water per day. 1t is 3, 100 feet
deep. The water is hot, lGl deg. Fair.
1t rises 30 feet above the surface.
In Algeria artesian wells have proved
to he an immense blessing to the coun-
try. Their number must now be nearly
50: 1t is said that they yield COG, 900
gallons of water per hour. The first
one that was sunk flowed at the rate
of triilc over 1000 gallons per min

Usually the multiplication of wells

Passy was finished the flow of water
from the Grcncllc well, two miles dis
tant, was diminished from 135 to 100
gallons per minute. The Passy well

day.
The deepest European well is in Ger
