Trolley Roads in Europe.

When the: delegates appointed by the
Glasgow town council to proceed to
the continent to investigate the preva
lent system of electrical traction re-
turned they issued very extensively
got-up and lavishly illustrated report,
which was evidently intended to be
conclusive. We commented at the
time on the singular circumstance, that
while much money and time had been
expended on infinitely examining a
number Of continental systems OF
electrical traction, some of them
old, the tramways committee had
not thought it worth their while
to give the least attention to cleo
trical practice as it exists in the
United States, admittedly ahead of the
rest of the world in this particular.
Subsequently it appears to have oc-

which was intended to embrace the ex-
animation of every successful system of
electrical propulsion could hardly be
considered complete without some ref
erence to America, and they according
ly dispatched their general manager
and engineer on tour through the
chief centers. These gentlemen have,
in their turn, just issued their report,
not document so pretentious by any
means as it's predecessor, but not less
valuable, perhaps, in the clearness and
lucidity with which the conclusions
to which the authors have arrived are
expressed. These conclusions are prac-
tically identical with those of the pre-
ceding report, and there is now conse-
quently practically no doubt that the
trolley principle will be adopted for the
whole of Glasgow. 1t is true that pro-
vision is first being made only for a
first experimental line, that from
Mitchell street to Springburn, but the
trolley once installed is sure to spread,
and despite the claims being made for
conduit and electromagnetic tramway
systems, it will be generally conceded,
we think, that the Glasgow authorities
have arrived at just and sound con-
clusion. We notice that special COM
missioner, which 1.-THE Glasgow Her.

on the same errand, is of an opinion
that is mainly identical with that ex-
pressed in the two reports. We trust

A Windy Well.

Arizona possesses some of the great
est natural wonders in the world, not
the least of which is this phenomenon
of current Of air issuing from or going
into the bowels of the earth through
sundry natural and artificial openings
made in the earth's crust. Something
over year ago Mr.. Coufman under
took the drilling Of we'll at his place.
Everything went well to depth of
some twenty-five feet, when the drill
suddenly dropped some six feet and
strong current of air issued from the
hole. The escaping air current was so
strong that it blew off the mems hats
who were recovering the lost drill. The
we'll was of course abandoned and left
to blow but there are some peculiarities
about it that are worthy of observation.
The air will escape from the we'll for
days at time with such force that
pebbles the size of peas are thrown
out and piled up about it's mouth until
it looks very much like the expanded
portion of a funnel. At the same time
it is accompanied by sound much like
the distant believing of a foghorn. This
noise is not always present, because the
air does not at all times escape with the
same force. Again, there will be for
days suction current, unaccompanied
by sound, in which the current of air
passes into the earth, with some less
force than it escapes, and any light OBJ
ject as feather, piece of paper or
cloth, will, if held in close proximity,
be Immediately sucked into the sub
terranean labyrinth of Aeolus. Just
the cause of this phenomenon no one
has yet been able to determine, but it
Is supposed that there is an under
ground opening between the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, which cleaves
the earth for more than a mile in depth,
and the Sycamore Canyon, some eighty
miles to the south of it, of the same
proportions, but much shorter. This
would seem possible from the fact that
the current of air is always passing
lromnorthtO south or vice versa, carry
ing, OF course, a few points of the COM
pass from the true meridian, but al
ways in these general directions, as de-
termlned by experiment, and then the
