Artesian Wells.

The question of the deepest well in
America is not an easy one to answer.
The data in regard to this matter are, to
say the least, somewhat mixed. So
far as we know, the well bored by Mr.
George Westinghouse in the yard of his
Pittsburgh residence is the deepest one
which has been put down. At the time
of it's abandonment it had reached
depth of 1880 feet. These may 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 at the bottom and could not be re-
moved.
The artesian well was named after
province in France (Artois), where they
have been for 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 water-bear
ing strata, by pressure obtained from
distant elevated source. For example,
the famous wei at Grenelle, near Paris,
flowed at the rate of $50 gallons of
water per minute, at q height OF 81
feet above the ground. It's temperature
is so deg. Fair. The well is 1.798 feet
deep
A well at Pesth yields 5000 gal
Ions of water per day. It is 300 feet
deep. The water is hot, 161 deg. Fair.
1t rises 35 feet above the surface
In Algeria artesian wells have proved
to be an immense blessing to the coun-
try. Their number must now be nearly
so. 1t is said that they yield SOC, 900
gallons of water per hour. The first
one that was sunk flowed at the rate
of trife over 1000 gallons per min
ute. Temperature of the water, 70
deg. Fair.
Usually the multiplication Of wells
in any one section decreases the press

the yarnish has dried perfectly wet
sheet of plotting paper is laid upon the
picture until it is thoroughly dampened,
and carefully and gradually all the
paper should be rubbed away, and
only the black and white impression
left upon the glass. The inner frame
which surrounds the glass should be of
grained wood silvered; or good effect
may be gained by covering the inner
frame with folds of pale blue India silk,
ornamenting each corner with metal
leaf, silvered to match the natural
ones. A beautiful panel for brass
screen is made by arranging ferns,
after pressing and bleaching them, be-
tween two squares of dark red glass.
CHARACTERISTIC OF BUILDING STONE.
In selecting stone for building,
inquiry and Investigation should be
made to ascertain whether it possesses
certain important characteristics, such
as durability, the power to resist at
or other external influences.

and by taking proper interest in the
general welfare.
In educating our children, in show
ing them the difference between good
and evil, in intoxicating true Christian
principles in their hearts, in teaching
them to "love God above all things
and our neighbors as ourselves" we
perform nothing more than our duty.
The love, honor, respect and submits
sion shown by children to their parents
is exactly that which they are in duty
bound to do.
The soldier that becomes deliverer
of his country simply performs his
duty; had he neglected to do SO he
would have sinned most grievously; in
deed, he might not be censured for it
by the world, but when the opportu
nifty offered itself, had he not taken
advantage of it, he would have vio-
lated his trust and be morally guilty of
treason.
And SO it is with everything else, in
religion, in business, in politics, in sci
ence, we require principle to work on,
for without it we are ship without
rudder, an army without general,
being without an aim.
The only one principle to guard and
guide us is to do our duty in all things,
and, having done SO through life, we
may expect to hear at the end something
like "Well done, thou good and faithful
servant"

building may have great deal of in
fuence on it's durability. Stone is
more durable when its structure is
crystalline. The facility with which a
stone can be converted into various
shapes in which it is required is of i'm
portance, and the hardness of stone is
an important point if it is to be sub
jected to considerable amount of wear
and friction. Strength of stone should
be ascertained if it is to be subjected
to any excessive or unusual stress.
The weight of stone has occasionally to
be considered. It's appearance is often

AN English visitor to this country

willingness to say "thank you" for
small services. He rarely heard it

The question is asked whether it is be-
cause most Americans fancy that it
puts the thanker in position of in
feriority. Probably the real reason is
desire to do away with any appear
ance of ceremony, leading to lack Of
courtesy in this instance.

DIR. KAYsER has succeeded in obtain
ing a photograph of the aurora borealis
from the summit of Mount Rigi, in
Switzerland. This is an interesting
fact, it having hitherto been regarded
as impossible to photograph the aurora
for want of plate sufficiently sensitive
to be impressed by its rays. Gunther,
in his well-known physical geography,
declares it to be utterly impossible to
photograph the aurora, the most care
fully prepared plate remaining neutral
when exposed to the aurora's rays. DR..

A Mine That May Prove to be Very

 The discovery of vein of lead and silver ore near the bone and ivory shop on the premises of Franklin Downs at Bristol some years ago has prompted re- cent investigation and the old excavation several feet deep was pumped out few months ago. A blast threw out some very fine specimens of the ore. There was difficulty in Arranging with the owners of the land and nothing more was done until recently, Peter Casey, while prospecting there, Hound what he took to be native copper in piece of quartz. He easily cut off small parti- cles with his knife. He took the speci- men to H. A. Seymour, who pronounced it gold ,and the acid test proved his opin- ion. The piece of gold was at first as near as can be estimated, worth 25 cents. R. c. Downs, who is from California on a visit, examined the specimen and pro- nounced it genuine gold-bearing quartz. The excavation has again been pumped out, and yesterday a blast was made with the same result as the former, throwing out rich lead and silver ore. Mir Downs, who made fortune from gold mining in California, says he is willing to put few thousand dollars into this mine to see what IS there.
