MAGNETIC WATER.



A feature of remarkable interest al
Pueblo is that of the peculiar magnetic
mineral water found there. This has
converted the whole town to . belief in
its wonderful efficacy and attracted q
good deal of interest throughout the
state. Everybody seems to be drinking
it and bathing in il for . week or two
with the water at . temperature Of
about one hundred and five degrees
the most obstinate cases OF inflamma-
tory rheumatism and arrangement OF
the kidneys and liver, also dyspepsia
and various other troubles, including
nervous complaints. The water seems
to be generally distributed beneath the
city of Pueblo at depth of from one
thousand two hundred to one thousand
seven hundred feet, and has been
reached by seven or eight wells, scat.
tered over an area of several miles.
which were all sunk in search for pc
troleum and coal, and in no case has q
well which has been sunk to proper
depth failed to reach the water. which
is found in . Elimination Of white sand.
stone. So strong Is the force upon the
water below that it equals . pressure
at the surface of the wells equal to that
Of from fifty to sixty pounds to the inch,
and rises when confined by an upright
pipe to . height of one hundred and
twenty feet and the how from one Of
the wells. which is four or five inches
in diameter, and which is the only one
which has been properly cased, is esti-
mated at three thousand barrels per
diem.
The water is considered most agree
able for drinking. and contains an ap-
preciable proportion Of iron. lithia and
sodas. The particular feature. however,
is its strong magnetic character, as il
impregnates knife blades and steel sub
stances held beneath its flow for fe "
minutes SO strongly that they become
magnets by which tacks, needles and
other small iron and steel objects are
readily lifted. This imparting of mag
netism by water. is, believe. disputed
and secuted by scientists whose theories
are quite clear, but the fact neverthe.
less exists. and incontestably, that
the water does, with celebrity, highly
magnetic steel substances, held
beneath its flow. 1t may not
perhaps do this by accepted axioms
of science. but that il has a way of
doing it is highly satisfactory to the
boys rs well rs the adults of Pueblo.
This magnetic quality is accounted the
prime factor in rheumatic cases. and
It would be difficult to find in the
whole of Pueblo any one who knows
anything about the water who is not 4
convert TO its supposed almost miracu-
lous qualities. In fact a continuous
pilgrimage from the mines and differ
cnt parts of the state to the water for
drinking and bathing is going on. and
il is generally believed that no case
exists SO obstinate that it will not be
relieved by bathing and drinking free
ly of the water.-Boston Transcript.

HE PUT GEESE TO Roosr.
The Fate of . Prophet Who Presumed q
Als Knowledge Of Farming.

The Fsts oe Prophet Who Presumed %
lals Knowledge 81 Farming.
Don't talk Of agriculture to . farm
err" WAS Daniel Webster's advice to .
friend.
This advice was recalled by q gentle
man of this city recently upon hearing
of the experience of an amateur farmer.
. friend Of his. who. after 4 long and
active career, in which he bad achieved
fame and fortune, relinquished an ex-
tensive practice of law for bucolic SUI
perintendence over an estate not . hum
dred miles from New York.
Shortly after he assumed the man.
agement of his farm the lawyer received
n visit from one of his neighbors,
shrewd old farmer who had never been
a hundred miles away from his home.
Naturally the amateur betrayed his
gross ignorance to his more practical
and experienced companion. The lat
ter was something Of wit, and at last,
in visiting the poultry yard, ventured .
suggestion.
This is all very fine," he said. rs he
glanced about, ''but where do your
ducks and geese roost at night?'
II never thought Of that" replied
the amateur. 1--WE seen them squat
ting around at night. and thought
they liked that I'll have il attended
to at once. Low roosts, lsuppose, would
be best?'
The farmer thought they would.
"Place them about two feet from the
ground he remarked, and then smil-
ing in his sleeves, unhitched his old
mare and drove away home.
Not moment was lost by the former
New Yorker. He erected his duck
roosts, and at nightfall visited his pcul-
try yard to observe how the fowls en-
joyed the innovation. To his chagrin
they appeared to ignore the roosting
place, and were squatting as before on
the ground.
Poor things. I've neglected them too
long" thought the humane amateur.
"They don't realize the change"
With that he began to grab at ducl<s
and brakes and geese and ganders and
deposit them one by one on the rooet.
There was q terrible commotion among
the fowls. which attracted all the farm
hands with shotguns to the poultry
yard.
It was not long before the truth
upon him that ducks and geese
were intended by nature to squat
not roost. He returned to his house
deeply ashamed of his ignorance and
speedily became the laughing stock of
the country around.
The illustration of Webster's advice
came in the form of an entire disregard
of any opinions expressed by
the man. In New York his utterances
had been regarded as words of wisdom,
upon no matter what subject expressed.
but in the country they were greeted
with: ''Oh, pshaw, he don't know
He puts geese to roost- -
