The Deepest Boring in the World II In
Weatern silicia.
From the Revue scientinque.
The deepest boring OF which we have
any knowledge up to the present time il
at Parvschowitz, in the district of Ribnik
In Western SILICA. The depth attained
Is 1868 feet, and the diameter OF the hole
Is only 2.75 inches. The work has been
temporarily stopped in order to lower
special thermometers, which have been
made with great accuracy into the hole
Tor the purpose OF obtaining the tempera-
ture at different depths. The boring will
then be resumed and il in hoped that
depth of s, 200 feet will be reached. The
method OF operation is that the Ham,
mersman tubes are used, great lengths Of
which can be operated at once. The
1rst tube has a diameter Of IL g inches
and is provided at It's lower end with q
diamond. cutting edge which acts az a
drill. The pipe is then screwed, as 1t
were, into the ground, and when it has
been entered completely a small special
mechanism permits the cutting-off Of the
column OF debris at its base, whence the
core which has been formed in the in
terror OF the tube, and which exactly
represents the geological formation, 10
removed. This 10 then raised to the sur
lace OF the ground and the diamond
pointed cutting edge lie raised to the sur
lace and y second and longer tube
screwed on, having as it's outside diane
ter in the inside diameter OF the first one.
and u is alone provided, on it's lower ex.
tremlties, with . new diamond-pointed
cutter. This tube 10 then dropped into
the hole, it is stopped by the first boring
and they begin to screw it down as in
the case Of the first. When the two
tubes are thoroughly imbedded in the
ground the first operation is repeated
and the core withdrawn, and thus by
success sively screwing on to the end Of
the tube on whose external diameter ia
equal to the internal diameter of the pre.
ceding one, the work is carried on.

In the twentieth century the private

for war, will have ceased. The barriers
of hostile tariffs now separating Euro

down. Men will have become free
to serve each other in the supply of all
their wants. The military caste will have
ceased to be honored. The well-traiped
officers Of the armies will have been pro-
NOTED from their present worse than use
less positions to become captains of in.
dustry. They will then hold positions Of
power and influence, carving peace.
goodwill, and plenty among ali the ma

been deposed. Rulers who now claim to
rule by birth or privilege, and who have
attempted to resist the will OF the private
soldiers drawn from the ranks OF the
people, will have been overcome bv force

their bayonets against each other will
have turned them on those by whom the
orders were given. Government Of the
people, by the people, and for the people,
will have been established In Europe as

Science will have gained control over

Fall in-Attention,

In New South Wales there has lately
been held a political labor conference,
with a view of laying down fighting
platform" The second plank Ii as fol-
lows:
Whereas, in the opinion OF this confer
ence, the destruction Of land monopoly is
the first step in obtaining economic re-
form, the second plank of the fighting
platform should be land value taxation,
namely, the recognition In our legislative
enactments of the natural and inalien-
able right OF the whole community to
the land-upon which all must live and
upon which, by labor, all wealth is pro-
duced-by the taxation of the value
which sccrues to land by the presence
and needs of the community, irrespective
of improvements effected by human ex-
ertion; and the absolute and indefatiga-
BILE right of property on the part Of all
crown tenants to improvements effected
on their holdings.

Jas. K. Wright, in January Donahoe's.
The national debt on the first OF Sep

have been justly liquidated with $4,000.

tons OF bay iron. At the present time the
national debt, although it has been re-
duced to 81 $50 ,0OO, 900, or considerably
less than one-hslf, will require more than
30, 00O, 900 bales Of cotton, or 81, 000, 900
tons Of bar iron te pay it. In plain, mat.
ter-Of fact speech, the debt has been en-
larged by some so per cent, rs measured
by these two great staple products, while
1t has undergone nominal shrinkage OF
% per cent. From 1870 to 1884 the ma
tional debt, in terms OF money, was paid
off to the extent Of $3.50, 900 900, as shown
by official returns. But If we apply oil Of
our greatest products-pork, GOAL, cotton,
bar iron, beef, corn, wheat and oats-as
the standard OF value in payment, we
find that the debt has increased fully 80
per cent. SO it has been with all other

Corpse Found In the John Day.

Geo. Metteer informed the Fossil
Journal that the dead body OF a man was
found by Jos. Reyburn in the John Day
near his house on Six Mile Bottom, on
the Wasco side of the river, on January
II. The corpse is that OF man Of over
average size, and is badly decomposed and
beyond recognition, although considera-
BILE flesh still adheres to the bones. 1t lie
evident that the body must have been in
the water great length Of time before
being discovered, and speculation is rife
as to who the unfortunate is, or
rather was. The place where the body
was found 10 about twenty-five miles
down the river from where Mr.. James
NJ. Thompson, Of Burnt Ranch, was
drowned last May, and az the body was
never found, some believe that 1t is his
corpse that the river has at length
yielded up.
