OLD POHlCK CHURCH.

One of the most interesting struc-
lures in this locality is the historic
Pohick church, and no one who has
ever attended services in it can ignore
the fact that the recollection OF it is
green spot in his or her memory.
Pohick is the parish church of
Mount Vernon. 1t is six miles dis
tant from the mansion, was built dur
ing the years 176S-'7O from plans
drawn up by General Washington,
who was member of the building
committee. He was a vestryman of
the parish for twenty years, and for
the greater part of that time was n
regular attendant at church, never
permitting, as Bishop Meade says,
1.-The weather or company to keep
him from church.
A baptismal font in the sacred edi-
fee bears an ante-revolutionary date,
and is an object of much interest to
the antiquarian as well as to all
others. The Pohick neighborhood is
one of the prettiest in the State of
Virginia, the people among the best
in the world, and the genial pastor of
the church, Rev. Samuel Wallis, and
his pleasant and esteemed wife, are
held in the highest estimation by all
that section Of country.
A visit to old Pohick is refreshing,
and no one who comes to the vicinity
should fail to see the venerable church
and if possible, attend Sunday
morning service.

bars in it. The first set Of bars lets
through all coal smaller than steam
boat, the second set the steamboat.
The lump alone arrives at the plat
form where slate is picked out and
coal allowed to pass into lump shute,
from which it is loaded into cars just
below the platform is set of bars,
which is placed over pair Of rolls.
If all the lump cannot be sold, the
latter bars are placed from 10 to Is
inches apart, and the coal which
passes through is broken into steam
boat and smaller sizes. The steam
boat coal, which comes from the upper
rolls, passes down shutes containing

bars (which take out the small coaD
and in which the slate is picked out
into pocket. What steamboat can
not be sold, instead Of going into the
pocket, passes through another set of
rolls called prepared coal rolls,
which breaks it into prepared coal.
The coal which passes through the
first set of bars near the dump, goes
into a screen Called the mud SCREEN,
upon which water is thrown. This
screen separates it into GAY coal, too
large for prepared coal, which after
being picked goes through the same
rolls as the steamboat coal; OBJ coal
fit for prepared coal which goes to
the screen, and (C) pea coal and dirt
which goes to the pea coal screen

the Westminster Abbey of this sec
ton
The church is situated in the
square bounded by King, Columbus,
Cameron and Washington streets,
and electric street cars now pass the
main entrance from early morn until
late at night. The edifce is one OF
the most venerable in the State OF
Virginia, The parish was created on
the 1st of February, 1865, and on
the 18th of the following month
twelve Yestrvmen were shosen, one
of whom was Colonel George Wash
ington, then just 80 years of age. 1t
was then known as the Fairfax Parish.
The erection Of the present church
building was commenced in 1867,
under a contract made with James
Parsons, for six hundred pounds
sterling.-James Wren, gentleman,
being the Architect In 1772, Mr..
Parsons having failed to finish the
church, the Vestry made an agree
ment with Colonel John Carlyle for
its completion, for the additional
sum of two hundred pounds, and on
the 9th of February, 1913, the
building was formally delivered to
the Vestry, and by them pronounced
completed sin a workmanlike man

A Phenomenal Well.

To the Editor of the Scientific American: /
The articles in the Scientific American
of the 9Th and l4tn OF January relative TO
breathing or barometric wells induces me
to describe to your readers through your
valuable journal phenomenal well locat-
ed here IL Beardsrown, III.
This we'll was drilled in 1891, the strata
pierced being 100 feet OF drIft a. sand and
gravel, 200 feet OF corniferoas limestone 200
feet OF slate and shale. passing into 20 ieet OF
crystallized sandstone, a depth altogether
ol $50 feet. At this depth water began 10
rise in the well, aud when reaching the
surface spouted up to height Of 90 feet
The water is saline mineral water, strongly
impregnated With natural gas. The pres
sure gauge indicated 90 10. Sufficient gas
was obtained to supply two 60 horse power
boilers with fuel. This well flows or
spouts for eighty days, when it ceases for
twenty days, not varying day from these
periodic intermissions since it first began
flowing. II invariably begins with the
new moon The quantity Of water dis
charged is 1000 gallons per hour. The
gas is still utilized, when well flows, l.

There has been no perceptable diminu-
ton in the quantity of gas or water. DC
casionally for display or exhibition the
we'll is iguited (''without separation of thu
gas'') and fountain of fire is produced
the fire and water mingling to height o
80 feet producing a marvellous sight.
