A WONDERFUL discovery has been
made on the farm Of Anderson Miller,
who lives about nine miles southeast
from Barboursyille, Ky, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. While digging
a post hole in the ground Mr.. Miller
had gone down probably four or five
feet when he struck what appeared
to be a very hard substance, and he
pounded away Il time or two on it
when he was suddenly startled by
rumbling and laundering sounds
and kissing OF gases, or what APP
peared To be steam, and his digging
tool was lifted clear ont Of the hole
and thrown several feet, and u vol
ume of boiling and kissing water
shot forth, 100 feet high. Mr.. Miller
made a run for his life, ms he thought
the water was "biling hot" as he
expressed il. After getting over his
excitement he returned TO the scene
and looked upon something wonder
ful-a stream of water nearly six
inches wide and rs clear as crystal,
shooting its way upward fully $50
feet and forming n crystal arch,
beautiful in the sunlight, something
like the geyser, "Old Faithful" in
the great Yellowstone Park. Miller
stood still and watched this phenom-
enon for about thirty minutes. Then
Of n sudden, as if done by some mys-
ferrous hand. this great fountain of
water was shut of. The appearance
in and around the place was entirely
changed. After II pause of about
thi rty minutes again came forth the
mighty volume OF water ms before.
Mr.. Miller, thinking he had enjoyed
enough of this grand sight by him
self, started off in haste to call his
neighbors, that they might also see
the wonderful thing. Word was
brought into town, and Il party inn
mediately left TO view the sight. The
water appears TO he heavily charged
with carbonic acid gas and is pleas
ant to the taste.
"A POET could write on The De-
serted Village with Virginia City rs
II subject and surpass Goldsmith's
immortal production on the same
topic" said r. l.. Hearne, Of San
Francisco, TO Il st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat man. The first time that |
was ever there the population Of Nir-
ginia City was greater than that OF
the entire State now. Everything
ran wide open. Magnificent hotels
and opera halls, palatial residences,
stores that would have done credit to
New York, millionnires who spent
money freely, maintaining II society
that for brilliancy and gayety could
not be equalled in the United States.
| was there a short time ago. The
hotels and opera houses are closed,
the residences empty, the stores re-
moved to other and more prosperous
places. Dwellings that cost hundreds
of thousands Of dollars are given over
to the bats, and the broken panes Of
glass, the shutters hanging upon a
single hinge or Tapping in the wind
give a grewsome sense OF loneliness.
In years TO come it will afford magni-
ficent spectacles OF ruins, and ever
now in some sections Of the town
there is IA sense to the beholder Of
being "A city Of the past. Millions
were made and lost, and the history
Of Virginia City would be n Of the
most thrilling stories ever written"
A MAN swallowed an electric light
at the City Hospital, Baltimore, Md,
the other afternoon. He N John
Thomas, II white patient, who yolun-
teercd TO do the trick i'm order that
the 400 students and the faculty OF
the City College could see how dis
eases OF the stomach are diagnosed
by the newest tangled method. Prof.
Julius Friedenwald, one OF the most
eminent physicians Of this city, had
charge Of the experiment. Thomas
stomach was cleansed, then "A quart OF
water was pumped into it through a
tube. The water was TO expand the
walls OF the stomach i'm order that "a
palmer view Of that organ could be
had. Then the small glass bulb Of IA
powerful incandescent electric light
vas given Thomas and he swallowed
il with as little ceremony as il 1t was
a glass Of water. Professor Frieden-
valid pressed the button, the light
did the rest and the abdominal cavity
was all aglow. The interior machin-
cry Of the man was family visible.
Thomas kept the bulb inside for
about ten minutes, then it vas drawn
up by II string TO which it wa at

worse for his experience. The stu

pertinent. which was pronounced per-
