An Oregon Breathing Well.

The well is one and quarter miles
east of Stanwood. on the high land,
nearly $50 feet above sea level. Its
owner 0. w. Coltom, began digging it
last June, but abandoned it various
times because of gas or fredamp. He
succeeded in reaching an abundance of
good water at depth of ninety feet
from the surface last October, having
clay, sand, and some kind of stratified
rock. About eighty feet below the sur
face he had found sprinkling of
anthracite coal, and still further down
large quantities of loose specimens of
volcanic stones of several kinds, many
of which have the appearance of hav-
ing been melted and run together.
About the close of October, Mr.. Col
tom noticed that the we'll was blowing
out kind of gas with considerable
force. and at irregular periods of time,
varying from five days to sixteen
hours duration; it would reverse the
operations and begin to draw in the
air with equal force, the inhalations
lasting about as long time as the ex-
halations. Shortly after the gas dis
appeared, but the respiration of all
continued with increasing force. until
at the present time it has sufficient
force to drive large windmill. Not
long since Mr.. Coltom went down in
to the well and discovered that the all
was being drawn in and blown out al
a point fifteen feet from the bottom O.
the well. 1t is supposed that there
must be a large cavern at distance
from the we'll, and the air comes
through small passage leading from
the cavern to the well. No cavern o.
passage has yet been found, as the wei
is walled up, and the air comes through
| the rocks in the wall.

The Watch Did 1t.

was engaged during the morning
in preparing part of an interesting
chapter in my new work. The one in
fact, which deals with the origin and
development of the bonnet, says a
writer in the Boston Post. l had got
as far as the head-dress worn by the
Athenian matrons to the theater, and
was naturally much engrossed with
the work, when an inward monitor,
in still, small, yet unmistakable
voice suggested lunch" l looked at
my watch-it said o'clock.
Now. always take lunch at 1:30.
never in any emergency, later than 2.
But o'clock! I felt ill and faint I
started for the club feeling like Rip
Van Wrinkle when he came home for
his lunch twenty years late. l passed
a friend; tried to stink by without his
noticing, but could see he looked up
on me sadly and askance, as if l were
in some way stricken wether of the

How John Smith Changed His Name

So far as the legislature of New
York is concerned the Smiths hold
their own. And by the last census it
is shown that they are increasing fast
er than any other family. Their birth
rate is the highest and their death rate
the lowest. Ten years ago the center
of population of the Smiths was in
Ohio. now it has moved to Illinois. 1t
is only a question of time when the
country will be populated entirely
with Smiths and the postmasters all
90 insane. No Smith ever changes his
| name. Occasionally he begins SPELL
| ing it with a ~" and perhaps tacks an
'e'' on it, but this makes no particular
difference. The only Smith who radi-
cally changed his name was the one
who moved west to small town and
the first day encountered the editor OF
the local paper looking for news.
"What is your name?" asked the ed
itor. Smith" replied the other. "Ah,
didn't quite catch it," said the news
paper man. who was slightly deaf.
..Plan Smith," answered the new ar
rival, and the editor noted it down.
The next morning the paper came ou
with this item: '.Mr. John Plainsmitf
has settled in our town and" etc. Mr.
Smith pondered awhile and concluded
to make no correction and to this da.
he is Plainsmith.
