 The existence of a powerful sulphur spring in the ocean of the Florida coast, three miles north of Mstanzss inlet and two miles of the shore of Ansstssia Island, is pretty well established, and apsrty from St. Augustine now proposes to remove all doubt on the subject by making 6 scientific investigation of the phenomenon. They will take instruments with them to ascer- tain the exact depth and character of the spring. and the formation of the strats through which 1t comes. Capt. Edward Allen, harbor pilot, who has visited the locality frequently during the last twenty years, gays that he frst saw the spring while on a United States government coast survey. All efforts to sink ordinary in- struments into 1t have been fruitless. On one occasion be etdeavored to sink keg heavily loaded with lead. He managed to get nearly over the spring by anchoripg two boats and drew them together into the center of the spring. The keg was lowered, but after going down 8 short distance the great pressure of the water broke the keg and the fragments were shot into the air. MT. Allen asserts that the water flowing from the spring Is the same ss that which comes from the srtesisn sulphur wells on shore.
