is no reason why childbirth itself should bring

nothing wrong. 1t is the abuse OF nature by

The Devils Pump in California and Nc
Sweeney's Gun In Ireland.
One of the greatest combinations of
natural ard artificial curiosities on the
coast of California is called the Devils
Pump. The pholas, or shell miners,
species of mollusk which excavate i'm
mense caverns in the very hardest
stone, have tunneled the entire coast
in the vicinity of the pump. Water
rushes into these caverns with each
succeeding tide flow, and in this partic-
ular case finds vent through a cylindrl-
cal opening some distance from the
waters edge. It is estimated that this
hole, which connects with the sea cav
ern, is seventy-fve TO one hundred feet
in depth. Every time the tide rushes
into the cavern beneath, the "pump"
throws water to the height Of a full one
hundred feet above the mouth of the
opening. The Indians formerly called
it by a name which signifed "fairy
water gum" but the irreverent white
men have given it the title of the ''Dev-
lis Pump and by that name it will be
probably known to future generations.
There is similar curiosity near Horn
Head, county Donegal, Ireland, where
q hole in the rocks is called "McSween-
eys Gun" Like the California oddity,
it is on the seacoast, and has connec-
tions with submarine cavern. When
the north wind blows and the sea is at
''half flood, )" the wind and waves enter
the cavern and send up immense col
umns of water through the ''gun.
Travellers who have visited Horn Head
and vicinity say that each charge OF
water sent from the ''gun" is accompa-
MED by an explosion that can be heard
for miles.
