An Extraordinary Boat.

One of the most extraordinary boats
on the great lakes is not whaleback,
but Is a passenger car transfer operated
in the Straits Of Mackinac by the Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic Railroad. 1t has
an enormous capacity for carrying cars,
but its pcculiarities are its strength, i:s
shane and the number of its steam en-
gines. 1t carries twenty -four steam en-
,,ines for the performance of the various
requirements of the business it is in.
The hull of the boat is as solid as the
wills of an old-time blockhouse. The
how rises up and away from the water so
as tn hang or slant over II as il it were

he. This is because the boat is an ice
breaker, intended to keep a chas.nel
omen In the straits all winter, or to make
one whenever she is pushed into the
mnssive ice that forms In that cold re-
gion. The big boat advances toward the
ice. and showing her nose upon its edge,
lifts herself upon il. Then a screw pro-
heller under the overhanging bow per-
forms the work of sucking the water
from under the leo to enable the boats
weight to crush il down the moro easily.
Thus the destructive monster makes her

Barnum's White Elephant.

"You probably have not heard how
Barnum secured the Endorsement of the
New York press on his alleged white ele-
phant," said Bert Davis, to a Mexico,
Mo- Intelligence man. Upon the day
of the white elephants arrival, in New
York Barnum entertained oil the press
gang at dinner and after that he was TO
conduct them down TO the wharf to see
the elephant-a scheme to obtain little
free advertising. In the meantime some
of the bows had visited the wharf and saw
the elephant was not white, but rather of
a mouse color, and they had agreed
among themselves to give MIR. Barnum
genuine roast. A few minutes before
the start Mr.. Barnum had n story to tell
the boys in order to put them in good
humor. He said that there was once
big social. gathering given in honor OF a
great beauty. When the beauty arrived
with the usual flourish of trumpets all
ewes were turned upon her and the gem
cral remarks were, Isn't she lovely !"
and How beautifully she is painted
1t is true, she was painted, not by hand,
however, but by God. Now, gentle
men, said Mr.. Barnum, the color OF
this animal am about to show you is
Just as God painted it. Had the work
been left TO me, l assure you he would
have been perfectly white The young
men appreciated the little story, which
resulted in the entire press or the city
ndorsing the great hum5u5ger's white
lephant."

A WONDERFUL WE'LL.
Il Throws a Two-and-0ne-Half-i
stream 10 a Height or 40 Feet.

The artesian well on the valley stock
farm saws the South Dakota Huronite, con-
tinues to attract great crowds OF people.
And well it may, for IL is really the won
der of tho age. Following the tests maze
Of the pressure Saturday and Sunday, the
cap was removed and through nozzle a
two-and Observation-Disclosures OF water
shot up into the mir distance OF I'D to
40 feet. The direct course of the stream
was greatly interfered with by the cross
beams and braces of the derrick. With
a clear way and no wind two-and-a-half-
inch stream would be sent 160 feet into
the air. So great is the pressure that
pine boards six inches wide and one inch
thick, used as stays and braces on the
derrick, fifty feet above the mouth OF
the we'll. were broken by the force of
the water. While this nozzle was on the
derrick, which is seventy-five feet high,
was almost hidden from view by the spray
and lettings of the stream.
Later in the evening Mr.. Weston, man
acer of the well, who has charge OF the
drilling, removed the 2t-inch nozzle and
placed upon the pipe 4-inch one. I'M
mediately u stream four inches in diam
cter shot up nearly seventy feet, delug-
ing everything in its descent. This was
accompanied by deep roaring sound,
and frequent sharp reports resembling the
discharge of rifle were heard. This
stream, as well as the smaller one, struck
the walking beam and broke much OF its
force.
The amount of water that flows from
the well is tremendous, being estimated
at from 5000 to 10000 gallons per minute.
Even at the lowest figure enough pours
out of the well TO furnish every man,
woman and child in the state of South
Dakota with at least four gallons of water
| every twenty-four hours. As to the
pressure that has not been fully ascer-
tanned, but from tests already made it is
known to be considerably more than 2OO
pounds to the square inch. With fair
test it is likely TO reach 228 pounds.
The pressure has steadily increased for
the last thee days, and may exceed the
above figures.
The we'll is now 960 feet deep, and as
soon as machinery now ordered arrives,
trading at Chincoteaguea are built with the
work of roaming the hole to eight inches
in diameter, making it an eight-incf
we'll from top to bottom, will be prosecut'
cd. The water is soft, clear and pleasant
to the taste. 1t is flooding the low places
in the vicinity, and, although grea
bitches have been dug 20 carry il into TIT
Jim river, acres of water may be seen il
every direction. Without doubt this
the greatest artesan we'll in the world.
