when she struck her daughter, the slender

A Whistling Well.

In the town of Great Valley, in Catta-
raugus county, n. Y, there is an interest
ing curiosity locally known as the "whis.
Ting we'll" 1t is located on farm be-
longing TO Col Wesley Flint, and was dug
by the colonel's father about forty-fve
years ago When the well had been sunk
to depth of forty feet without striking
the coveted vein of water, old man Flint
and everybody else declared the venture a
fiat failure. A few months later some
members of the Flint family noticed that
occasionally there would be a strong cur.
rent OF air rushing into the well for some
hours in succession, and that il would he
belched forth for corresponding period
of time.
As a matter of safety the we'll was COW
cred with large, fiat stone that lay in the
yard, the stone having previously had a
hole drilled through it something like an
inch and a half in diameter. A whistle
was placed in the hole, which has ever
since furnished the neighbors reliable
weather indications, the notes being
changed as the current has an upward or
downward cast. In settled weather the
whistle is silent; an approaching storm,
however, is heralded by warning shrek
of the whistle as the air PUSHES out to
mingle with the rarefied atmosphere above,
As clear weather again approaches the
air is drawn into the well through the
whistle with a noise wholly different to
that which it made in escaping through
the hole before the storm. In winter there
is often weeks at IA time when the air will
escape through the whistle with force
hardly sufficient TO blow the whistle, the
noise made by it sounding not unlike the

A Minnesota Jury Experiment.

An experiment in Jurisprudence is being
made in Minnesota which will be closely
watched and the results carefully noted.
BY an amendment TO the constitution five
sixtbs of jury are authorized to render a
verdict in all civil cases, and judged by the
laws of common sense this is an eminently
just and sensible conclusion. The decision
of ten men out of twelve is more apt TO be
honest and reasonable than the enforced
agreement which the twelve have reached
after being imprisoned behind guarded
doors for hours in order to drive or starve
them into unanimity.
