I'm Memory or Mrs. w. -. White.
A mothe, stood knocking, softly,
With her babe on her weary breast,
Al the mystic portals OF Heaven,
Seeking TO enter, and rest.
81 have brought q flower, for planting
In the garden OF Jesus, my king;
In travail and anguish ! won 1t,
A beautiful, priceless thing.
81 feared the rude earth winds would blight ii,
SO fragile IL was, and small,
But it safely Will grow and blossom
whiting the Kings garden wall.
For the only breezes that Mnrmur
'Mong the fountains and flowers there
Are the rhythmic vibrations set pulsing
BY music that throbs through the air.
'sIn place OF the sun rays that hotly
Beat down ON the earth-blooms below,
Will the tender efulgence OF glory
Its beams on my trail flower throw.
And instead of the bitter, salt ~teafdrops
Falling from sorrow-dimmed eyee,
viii the dewdrops of heavenly mercy
Drown the mem'ry OF weeping and signs.
$50 open the gates, now, l pray you;
am weary, and rest is so sweet
To the body pain racked and tired
To the wandering, travel worn feet
Then softly the gates swung open
And forms Of beauty and light
Came floating and flying about her,
Shutting ont each earth-saddened sight.
An angel with eyes dark, and tender,
Took the babe from the mothers breast,
And with words of rememb raDce and welcome
Led her In to the home OF sweet rest.
No stranger was she In that city,
For loved ones were waiting her there
In the home of the Father whose mansions
Are many, and wondronsly fair.

OF Dakota as Bounded by state Geol-
ogist, James Il. Todd, Of yermitliOn
University.

OF Dakota as Bounded ny state Geol-
Ogist, James Il. Todd, OF yermiiliOn
University.
Prof. Todd Of the state university in
an article to the state press gives some
unusually interesting data regarding the
limits of the artesian basin OF this state
and though not convenient to print all we
quote freely many OF the prominent
features Of this excellent description:
The main artesian supply OF Dakota
is from a Cretaceous sandstone named
by DIR. Hayden, the Dakota sandstone,
from his first studying it rear Dakota
City, Neb. The name vas almost pro-
phetic, for it is a formation most useful
to Dakota and underhes our whole state
except the higher portions of the Black
Hills and the area occupied by the Red
| Quarizite of Sioux Falls. 1t Is overlaid
almost everywhere with thick deposits
of clay which effectually keeps it's waters
sealed up, until punctured by the drill.
It's altitude about the Black Hills is
over 1900 feet above the sea. In the
eastern part Of our state it Is only 300 to
800 feet above. Its thickness varies in
different places from 200 to 400 feet. 1t
probably obtains its water from the
Black Hills and more remotely and
more largely from the Rocky mountains
It forms a large part OF the foothills of
both. 1t does not appear along the
Missouri river above Sioux City, except
at it's extreme head waters in western
Montana. There is very little founda.
ton, therefore, for the idea which has
been expressed that the artesian wells
OF Dakota are already making q percept-
ible difference in the volume OF that
stream.
So much in general. He then dis
cusses the particular features of the
basin under the three heads OF extent
Of the water, the height Of the head and
pressure and third the altitude Of the
present surface.
l. The extent of the Dakota forma.
tion has been already indicated. On
more definitely, it does not underlie
Minnehaha, McCook, and Hanson coun
ties, and considerable portions Of Dayi
son, Turner and Lincoln, in the eastern
portion OF our state, and in the western
it does not occur in Lawrence and The
western parts Of Pennington, Custer ane
Fall River counties. It probably under
lies all other portions Of the state.
2. The heights to which artesial
water will rise above the sea level are
indicated by wellsat the following places
as follows: jamestown, 1919 feet; Col
umbia, 1,706; Andover, 1,6S4; Aberdeen
1,704; Ashton, L411; Redfeld, 1859
Hitchcock, I,743; Huron, 1861; High

emit discrepancies appear in the Stats
tics, but these may be referred possibl,

sibly to the water coming from differen

strata. Disregarding these we notice

strata. Disregarding these we notice
several significant facts.
a. Ill the water were confined in ver-
tical pipes and aliowe ed it 10 riss to it's
utmost at the different points, all would
not rise to the same level.
b. The pressure dimishes toward the
east. This is seen to be 4.3 feet to the
mile between Highmore and Huron.
Between Kimball and Mitchell, it is
nearly 10 feet per mile. This cannot be
given very closely because the pressures
are only roughly determined. Between
Fort Randall and Vermillon 1T is about
% feet per mile. The altitude of the
Fort Randall is uncertain. From Yank-
ton to Vermillion the rate is 6.S feet.
C. The pressure also dimlshes
towards the south, at least below the
altitude Of Huron. Between Huron and
W~oonsocket 1T is about IA feet per mile.
| Between Huron and Glendale their
seems to be little variation. This de-
crease OF pressure toward the south and
east is easily explained by the supposi-
ton OF leakage at points in that di-
rection.
IL the rise of the pressure increases
westward at the same rate as between
Huron and Hlghmore, at Pierre water
would rise 700 feet above the railroad
station, or LAO rect above the sea. At
Rapid Citylt would not reach the sur
face by 400 feet.
liz the Dakota sandstone extends
thr ugh under the "East Coteau" as it
may, it Is likely to furnish artesian
water in Roberts and Grant counties. /
am not aware that such has been found.
That near Brown Earth Is probably
from another source, and quite local.
The eastern boundary of the main al
tesian area in the James valley may be
located as follows:
q. Following the contour of LOO feet
altitude it follows along the abrupt side
of the valley, entering the state just west
of the "Head of the Coteau,' thence
southwest to a little east Of Andover,
thence south by east, passing east oil
Raymond. Manchester and Howard
nearly to the south line of Miner county
Then,
b. Following the edge of the Dakota
sandstone, where it abuts on the Rec
Quartzite, the limit turns west south
west, north of Alexandria, several miles
. and q little south Of Mitchell, to a little
2 west OF Ethan, thence e~ast-southeast
: probably north OF Memo to the ives
: side Of Turkey Ridge, near the south
' east corner of Hutchinson county, Then
c. Guided mainly by the decline o
. the pressure, it falls into the valley G
: Clay Creek, which it follows, and the
. the Missouri bottom, east of Mecklini
9 past Vermillion, probably to Burbapl
1t thence follows up the Missouri, DC
receiving pressure enough to lift waite
= to the upland, until above Fort Randall
