ARTESIAN WELLS.
Some Popular Fallacies Concerning The
Source and Location.

Some Popular Fallacies Concerning Their
Source and Location.
The laws of the distribution and
utilization of underground water are
as simple as those controlling the sur-
face supply, but the popular fallacies
concerning them are appalling. The
most prevalent of these is that the wa
tiers originate at some remote point
from their outlet, and flow in subter-
ranean stream S like the ''blood in the
human body" as a farmer once said,
and that these streams must be tapped
by the well-borer, or digger, before wa
ter can be obtained. In nearly every
community is some person supposed to
possess the art of locating the exact
spot above these currents by means of
a switch called the divining rod. It is
also a current ~fallacious belief that all
underground water is due to rain which
falls on the more or less distant mount
aiaA and especially is this true in the
region between the Rocky mountains
and the Mississippi, where every spring
and well, even ON the Texas coastal
plain a thousand miles distant, is COM
~ SAPAoAhSN oPOA tLC uypOtlcSlS
that the water comes from this lofty
range.
These prevalent impressions in the
minds of those unframed in geology
are more excusable than the widely
prevalent idea conveyed by cuts in geo
logical textbooks that the usual and
ordinary conditions for artesian wells
are in great synclinal areas in which
the strata can be seen markedly dip
ping from two including mountain bor-
ders against which their edges are up
turned.
While there is no theoretical obiec-
| to this ideal conception, the condi-
lions it represents seldom occur in ma
ture; on the contrary, mountain rocks
are not the source of great artesian
wells; neither do they usually occur in
synclinal valleys. but the most favor
able conditions are gently slopine
monoclinal plains in which the receiv-
ing areas, instead of being the up
turned mountain rocks, are, in fact,
the escarpment valleys OF the plains

In the Washington building, which in
itself is a great curiosity, the founda-
ton consisting of some of the largest
timbers ever seen in this part of the
world, are to be seen a great many of
the new states choicest products.
In the mining department is the largest
lump of coal that was ever mined. 1t is
five feet thick, twenty-six feet long and
weighs over twenty-five tons. At the
entrance of this building stands a flag
staff the like of which does not exist in
this country. 1t is a single tree, spliced
once in the middle, and is nearly three
hundred feet high and as straight as an
arrow.
These are but a few of the many
wonders of the great fair belonging to
the state exhibits, each building pos
sessing many rare relics and curios of
its own state, and after viewing the
wonders of the greater buildings one
may find many surprises awaiting him
here.
An institution of the fair that is crea-
tive of some trouble and much amuse-
ment to the visitors is the folding chair
which has recently been introduced. II
is a diminutive affair of very frail con
struction and about as conducive to
bodily comfort as would be an up
turned strawberry box. To witness a
two-hundred pound mar trying to
perch his bullying anatomy on one of
these inauisitorial contrivances is equal
to seeing a slack-wire performance by
a novice in the business. Such a sight
was witnessed the other day neal the
Administration building where a crowd
had gathered to listen to the music of
the band. A big man had one of the
little chairs and tried to sit on it, but
the little chair was not equal to the
task and collapsed. The chairs are let
for ten cents and are to be returned by
the user, but that little chair was not
returned. 1t got a kick that reduced it
to toothpicks and scattered it over half
an acre of territory.

THE SENTIMENTAL TIGER.
Beneficent Effect OF the Gospel on Our
Modern Civilization.

Beneficent Effect OF the Gospel Our
Modern Civilization.
The Gospel. according to Rousseau. is
largely responsible for the develop
ment of certain breed of sentimental
tiger, to whom the atrocities of the
French revolution were principally
due and it has been a good deal dis
credited since the end of the last cen
fury. This doctrine of the evil infiict-
ed by civilization may, however. prob
ably still be held in anarchist circles,
and, if it were true, would, perhaps,
almost justify their existence. But
many people, even philosophers and
others not professeGly bound 10 uphold
the older Gospel which was preached
some nineteen hundred years ago. hold
that it has profoundly affected our civ
ilization. and has introduced into it
elements by force of which il decided

worse

that philanthropy Is distinguishing
characteristic of that Gospel OF love
which is the essence OF Christian reli-
gion, and philanthropy has never at
tanned higher developmentth than now.

civilization. Philan thropv has led 10
an entirely new way 81 dealing with
crime, namely. by prevention instead

is the establishment Of industrial

develop into adult criminals MAY be

NAPOLEON AT CARDS,
The Fallen Emperor Played with More
Temper Than Grace.

The Fallen Emperor Played with More
Temper Than Grace.
There is the story quoted by Caven-
dish from the Diaries of Lady of
Quality" that Napoleon played whist
at Wurtemberg, but not for money,
and that he played with bad concep-
ton of the. game, and without ade-
quate attention" One evening. when
the queen dowager was playing with
him against her husband and her
daughter (the queen of Westphalia,
the wife of Jerorne) the king stopped
Napoleon, who was taking up a trick
that belonged to them. saying: Sire,
on ne joue pas lei en- conqrerant.
The emperor's habits varied little
after his abaication. save that he had
to play with~less exalted parsonage,
than crowned heads, and that he
showed greater irritation at failure.
An old naval friend of Capt Denham
lived in a house mile or two out of
James Town. st. Helena and from the
captain came the narrative of the Incl
dent which Croker recOunted to Peel.
After dinner in came Napoleon to play
quiet rubber.
The old gentleman was unable to
join In the party on account of an at
tack OF govt, but his two daughters,
the captain, and the fallen emperor
made up the set. The great man took
out four napoleons, for use as markers,
when one of the young ladies took up
one of the coins, and asked him, pre-
sumably in innocence, what the coin
was. The polite hero" snatched it
rather roughly from her, and pointing
to the impression, exclaimed: "C' est
moi" The annoyance caused by this
incident ruffied him so much that he
made misdeal.
The party begged him TO try again,
and he did so with the same result. His
countenance then showed the RACES of
convulsive fury, and his anger was not
appe2sed until the house had been
searched for old cards which could be
more easily dealt. Meantime the I'M
happy Count las Cases, his only attend
ant, was ordered to sit down at a spare
table 10 play the cards alone until they
should RUIZ smoothly.-Templc Bar.

Thirteen stars in a circle, union blue with
white tars.
Bay state the innovation spread rapid
Iy through the New England states
until now it has become practice and
almost all the district and many of the
private New England schools com
memorate the day in one way or an
other. Many of the western and some
of the southern states officially recog-
nize the day. Individual teachers in
other states proceed on their own
initiative and pay tribute in a diversi-
ty of manners to the occasion. many
of them receiving assistance from
local posts of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
Early in June, 1777, while wild ru-
mors of an invasion from Canada by an
immense army under Burgoyne and of
movement by Lord Howe on the
Quaker City itself were circulating,
committee was appointed to study de-
signs for national flag. Concerning
the membership of this committee
little is actually known. Still this
much is history, that stern old John
adams, the austere Puritan of whilom
Massachusetts, bay colony, was its mas
ter spirit.
After numerous sessions, during
which the banners of various colonies
and the representations of the larger
colonies in the continental army were
carefully scrutinized, the committee
made its report on the memorable 18th
of June, the coming anniversary of the
brilliant Napoleonic victories of Ma
rengo and Friedland and of the birth
of Harriet Beecher Stowe. 1t recon-
mended:
THAT the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes alternate
red and white: that the union be thir-
teen stars, white in blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation"
This report was accepted unapi-
mously and without discussion. A sam
Pile flag was made at once of silk and
was displayed in congress. The blue
