"Bimetallism, or, in other words, The

The Fortnightly Review, for September

quantities Of gold In California and Aus

danger Of gold famine aud some other
metal would have to ne made a basis of

OF his subject IN the following 'erse terms !:
Trade and population have increase I
enormously since 1852 The demand for
gold Tor the arts ha, increa sed enormously
since then tsome authorities, indeed, say
that the whole OF the present gold pro-
duction Of the world In consumed 10 the

in 1852 was $3.50. 900 600, now il Is little
more Than $l25.O00.O00. In 1858 bimet-
is'lism was in fnll operation, now silver
is being discarded and AN enormous extra
demand for gold has been set up by Ger.
many, Italy, the United States Of America
Austria, Hungary and other countries.
II. therefore. the possibility OF a gold
famine is admitted IN 1852, can the ac-
tuality Of gold famine he denied now
when all the causes for the production Of
gold famine exist in a much stronger
degree? Al the height Of the gold dis
coveries an attempt was made, and to
some extent carried ont to, demonetize

for honest money. was raised by the
same classes, but then the money cried
out for was silver. The came classes. the

vrsToN,s DEEP ARTEslaN WELL
Bored ..3, 900 Feet Into the Earth, but
Found No Water.

A very interesting experiment was
recently concluded at Galveston. Tex
in the boring of an artesian well over
5000 feet in depth in the unsuccessful
attempt to secure supply OF fresh
water The water supply OF the city
is furnished by thirteen artesian wells,
varying in depth from so to l,3oo
feet: but while the water IS good
enough for fire and manufacturing
purposes, it is totally unfit for drink
inc and domestic uses. 1t was thought
that by going down greater depth a
stratum of rock would be penetrated
and a supply of pure water obtained.
At all events. it was decided that the
experiment was well worth the invest
ment by the city of 1000.
Work was begun more than year
ago. what was termed the rotary and
letting" process being used. The well
was started with 22-inch casing, with
which the surface sand was removed
TO a depth of 81 feet. Inside of this
casing a 15-inch pipe was sunk to
depth of $40 feet, and inside OF this
l2-inch pipe was telescoped to depth
of 1900 feet. Owing to an accident
further progress with this size OF pipe
was rendered fruitless. and Il 9-inch
pipe was then telescoped to depth OF
1858 feet A 6-inch pipe was then in
serted and depth of 300 feet and 9
inches was reached.
No water was found at the bottom,
nor was any rock penetrated in reach
ing that depth. The contractors hav-
inc complied with their contract.
which was to bore to depth of 5000
feet. were paid $4,000, and further
work was abandoned, the hope of Sc
curing a flow of fresh water on the
island having been given up.
The well is pronounced to be the
| deepest on the seacoast in the United
! States, and a description of the differ
ent strata pierced by the boring is
| interesting from the fact that it shows
| the formation of the different islands
| along the coast of Texas.
From the surface to depth of As
J feet there was stratum of gray sand;
thence to a depth of Ga feet was a
iaver of red clay and shells; thence to
depth of 100 feet was stratum of
| blue CLAY. seashells and fragments of
rotten wood. From the 100-foot level
to depth Of 31S feet sand, seashells
and fragments of wood were encount-
cred, and from that depth to the SD
foot level sand and sandy clay, vary
! ing in hardness, were discovered.
From the Sl5-foot level to a depth OF
l,2SS feet sand, clay and seashells and
decaved woodwere found, and from that
depth to the 3.070-foot level varying
strata of sand. clay. seashells and large
logs were encountered. At the very
bottom of the hole bed of seashells
was struck by the drill.
| The contractors expended $4,000
before they completed the work, and
eminent engineers who have made a
thorough examinations of the sur
roundings have expressed the opinion
that it will be an impossibility to Sc
cure a supply of pure water on the
island by means of artesian wells.
| Therefore, wells will be sunk on the
mainland, fourteen miles from the
city, and the water brought across the
bay by means of iron pipes. The es-
timated cost and the amount available
for the work is $4,000
