A whl.tIInR Wen.

Great Valley, Cattaraugus county. N.
Y, says Vide Atcdke, has an interest
ing curiosity known as the "whistling
well. II is on the farm of Colonel
Wesley Flint and was dug by the
colonel's father As years ago. to the
depth of 45 feet, when, no water accum-
ulating, it was abandoned.
some time after a strong current of
air was noticed rushing in md out Of the
well, and a stone, with an inch and three
quarters hole bored in it. was fitted over
il. Into this lIole whistle was fastened
which changed its tune as the air was
drawn up or down, and it was soon
found to be reliable weather barometer.
In settled weather the whistle was
silent, but If storm was coming on its
approach was heralded by a warning
shrek of the whistle as the air rushed
out of the we'll
When the storm passed and clear
weather came, the current of air
changed and was drawn into the well
and the faithful whistle told the story
by its changed tone. The whistle itself
has long been worn out, but the we'll
still foretells the changes of the weather
to those that understand the meaning of
the varying currents of air. In rainy
weather stream Of spray is forced up
through the opening.

A person who has never closely oh.

interesting il IS. Yoa need not 60 out

Anyway, as you closely watch the
surface of the water you will soon see
tiny little lances, very beautiful when
seen under the microscope. shooting
hither and thither on the surface Of the
water. If il is cold enough to make ice
in the sunlight tie crystal lances will
glow with all the colors of the rainbow,
and as they dart about the rapid changes
of color will remind you of the Won
ders of the kaleidoscope. AS the water
continues to chill the little lances come
together and then SMALLER aud still more
delicate crystals will be seen forming
between the lances and welding them
together This process goes on uiftil the
surface is covered with beautiful film
of ice hardly strong enough TO bear the
weight of mo q ito But the process
goes ON under this superficial layer and
a smooth and solid surface il the result.
Water is affected by changes OF
temperature differently from all other
liquids II seems TO be ma ural law
for all liquids to expand in proportion
TO their increase in temperature. but
there is a strange exception to the rule
in the case of water. For example.
take a quantity of water when exactly
at the freezing point, Be degrees above

temperature rises the volume will con-
tract, contrary TO the rule until the
water is about seven degrees warmer

pertinent At that point. however.
there is sudden change. Contraction
ceases, expansion begins, and the volume
increases until the water is converted

A story has been started the rounds
of Wall street which indicates the de-
velopment of the humorous trait in Jay
Gould that received an excellent exposi.
tion in his anecdote told at the expense
of President Stickney, of the Chicago,
St Louis and Kansas City Railroad,
when the Western railroad presidents
met at the house of j. Pierpont Morgan
on December 15 The story goes that a
few days before his departure to the
South Mr.. Gould, on his way home in a
Sixth avenue elevated train, surrendered
his seat to a lady with the politeness
and suavity that always distinguishes
him. By so doing he was crowded near
TO two large, stout men who were stand
ing in the aisle, and who soon began to
declaim loudly against the deficiencies
of the elevated railroad mana ement,
which resulted in such Inconvenience to
passengers. The conversation between
the two men, who evidently were
friends, grew hot, and finally one of
them exclaimed: y wish had that fell
low Gould here-I would strangle him

minutes. until a calmer frame of mind
was enjoyed by the excited travellers.
and then he said softly to the big bell

During the long cruise Of the whaling
bark Triton this year Captain Clifford
has been puzzled by small but persist
ent leak that commenced near Honolulu
in the spring and continued until the
craft was docked at the Union Iron
Works Then the managing owner,
William Wing, discovered the cause and
obtained an interesting relic of the fury
and force of things in the sea, which
the ordinary landsman wots not of.
Well down toward the keel on the star
board side Captain Wing found hole
in the ships copper The copper was
ripped off and the hole followed though
the three-quarter inch pine sheathing.
The underlying three inch white oak
plank was found to be split as though
with wedge. and imbedded in it and

frame timber was the slender, bony
snout Of biIlfshL The piece of snout
was about five inches long and increased
from half an inch in diameter at the
top to an inch at the point of fracture.
Near by was found the tip of another
snout, imbedded about an inch and
half in the oak planking This oak is
about as hard as lignumvitB. and the
force exerted by the fish TO penetrate Il

The Duchess sat by the latticed pane.
And watched the world as Ii passed below.
A Christmas world in its garh OF snow.
And her look was fun of fine disiain.
She counted her presents one by one:
The Dukes great pearl with its ruby set,
The Empress's splendid coronet
And hundred more ere the tale was done.
Yet her heart was fun Of minor strain:
She iongei for the eSies of southern land,
For light and beauty on every hand,
And the Christmas bells of her native Spain,
She felt the breath Of that warmer air.
And saw the cathedral. old and gray.
Where on festival days she was wont TO pray,
With a lace mantilla upon her hair.
A quiver crepi t. her naughty mouth,
Her breast heaved under the diamond clasp:
Though she had more than Queen could
ask,
She pined mid the ice for the South the

Which should hav, hidden peri's hoard

She lifted the lid In lisiless way.
Then her face was hlle,l with a sudden light.
For there lay the 10 .es, red and white,
Which had bloomed in Spain but the other

Fairer she seemed than ever before.
Dancing that night at the Emperor's hall:
But, as for her jewel she scorned them all:
Her only gems were the flowers she wore.

Farnhurst.

The improvements at the State Hos
pltal at Farnhurst are progressing.
The interior arrangement of the hos
pital itself has been greatly improved
in every way, adding to the comfort of
the inmates, and the sanitary condition
OF the entire premises. Substantial
lire escapes are being erected at each
wing of the building; strong guards
are being attached to all the windows:
new system of drainage is being sub
stituted for the old one; a new laun-
dry building is being built with an
amusement hall in the upper story for
the inmates; neat stable and carriage
house is about completed, and the SUI
perintendent's cottage is making fair
but not rapid progress toward compile
ton.
A large amount of new furniture has
been placed in the building, more has
yet to be added, and the whole place
is being transformed from what it was
to what it is designed to be. a home
and sanitarium for the insane, of what
ever class or condition. The New
Castle county members of the Board of
Trustees, on whom falls most of the
personal charge of the work, because
they are nearer the ground, deserve
much credit for their close attention to
the details of the improvements, and
the taxpayers of the State NAV feel as
sured that every dollar expended will
add a dollar to the value of the prop
erty. A great need of tue institution
is more farming land, and this, it is
hoped, may in time be obtained.
John B. Cooper, of this town, is one
OF the State trustees, and is one of the
most regular attendants on its monthly
meetings.

WE are at the end of the great peach
crop of 1891. $40 co., over the Della
ware railrOe2, with a realization it is
said OF over 81 100000. The PhiIadel-
phia Record thus speaks of it:
Philadelphia has eaten up 100000
baskets of peaches during this season,
and has paid nearly $780, 600 for the
luscious feast. The great peach crop
is now about gathered, only few late
varieties being left in the orchards.
Nearly 5000 carloads have passed
through Philadelphia from the Della
ware and Maryland orchards to various
markets North and West. These cars
contained 100000 baskets of fruit.
This is but half of the crop, as fully
$500, 900 baskets have been shipped BY
rail South, and by boats to this city,
Baltimore and New York. This is the
largest crop of peaches ever grown on
the Delaware and Maryland peninsula,
except that of 1876. New Jersey has
grown about 2,500,OO0 baskets of peach
es, most of which found their way to
New York and New England cities.
The crop has Melted the Delaware and
Maryland farmers about 81 Csc, 900, and
the New Jersey growers about $500. OO0
Consumers paid about 100000 for
this fruit. In 1875 there were 4,989, SOC
baskets shipped; in 1879, 1882 and 1885
few thousand baskets more than this
year. Delaware and Maryland have
grown this year probably about $780,
600 baskets"
