While digging well on Ben Croft's
farm in Mt. Ida, near the Mount
Zion church, a short time ago, at the
depth of loo feet a crevice was struck
filled with hot air. The wind grad
ually cooled off but blew with enough
force to take a mans hat off his head.
After digging 100 feet deeper water
was reached, the pipes were arranged
and the crevice corked so as to stop
the draft. The we'll is now finished
and is $50 feet deep.

Pekin's Great Fire.

The mail which has just arrived in Lon
don from China brings news Of the total
destruction By fire, on September Is, of the
famous Temple or Altar of Heaven at Pekip.
1t was at fret believed says On article made
up for the Lond)n Times, and was so re-
ported to the throne, that the edifce had
been struck by lightning, but, according to
later information telegraphed to Hong
Kong, two men wera arrested as the incen-
diaries TIE fire appears 20 have begun a
5:l5 p. m. on the Is b. and By 4 o'clock OIL
the morning of the 10 h the temple was a
heap OF smouderHg ruins. Immediately
before the fire the capital was visited by al
extraordinary storm of hail rain and light
ming. Houses were Fl 1oded, roads rendered
quite impossible, ana hail fell 10 thick chow
ers. The temple is described as being SO
feet 10 height, with triple roof Of blue tiles,
which was repaired a Century ago Il dii-
fered from Buddhist psgodas in that the roofs
were circular and placed one Above the other.
1t was erected over an altar, and is believed
to date from the fifth century of our era
An imperial decree attributes the disaster
10 lightning, and adds: The event is re
garded by the Emperor rs q solemn warn
ing, and his mind ID filed with awe. He
calls upon his officers with earnestness aud
sincerity to aid him in the unceasng Efforts
which he will make, even more than before
to secu.e the good government of the coun
try. Il is feared by foreigners in China that
the succession OF calamities which has taken
place since the Emperor assembled the
throne, such es the Yellow river inunds.
tions, the fire 10 the palace, and this de.
sfrnction of the liar of Heaven acting on
the superstitions OF The people, may serious
y affect the dynasty, and especially the
progressive measures of the government. Ii
is, therefore, hoped that the fire may turn
out to be an incendiary one. ae, if it we're
the result of lightning, it would be univer
sally regarded as evidence of the wrath Of
The gods with the acts of the administration.
The common story in Pskin is that SER
pent was concealed beneath the altar and
was being pursued by q dragon, hence the
fire.
