A Windy Well.

Arizona possesses some of the great
est natural wonders in the world. not
the least of which is this phenomenon
OF a current of air issuing from or going
into the bowels of the earth through
sundry natural and artificial openings
made in the Harth's crust. Something
over year ago a Mr.. Coufman under
took the drilling of a well at his place.
Everything went well TO a 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
10 blow but there are some peculiarities
about 1t that are worthy of observation.
The air will escape from the well for
days at a 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 funnel. At the same time
1t 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
came force. Again, there will be for
days a suction current, unaccompanicd
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 4 feather, piece of paper or
cloth, will, if held in close proximity.
be Immediately sucked into the sub
tefranean 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 q 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
from northto south or vice versa, carry
ing, of course, few points of the COM
pass from the true meridian, but al
ways in these general directions, as de-
termined by experiment, and then the
stratum underlying the Quaternary is
of volcanic cinder. This is very por-
Gus, and in many places so-called bot
tomless holes exist.

perfect time. They then began a series
of experiments and found that the spid-
err would ascend or descend about
foot for every octave, and though the
melody was carried ever so lightly, and
the bassos Numbered in their heaviest
tones, the insect could not be deceived
but always followed the leading part
accurately and with the precision of a
directors baton. All kinds of songs,
from Down in the Cornfield" to THE
Bridge" were sung to test the ability
of this wonderful little being, and each
time he came out OF the conflict not a

the spider scurried up his improvised

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 a 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 1t 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 ii appears TO have oc-
Cured to the committee that a research
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 a tour through the
chief centers. These gentlemen have.
in their turn, just issued their report.
not document so pretentious by any
means as its 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. Ii is true that pre-
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 a special com
missioner. which THE Glasgow Her
aid" has had the enterprise to dispatch
on the same errand, is of an opinion
that is mainly Identical with that ex-
pressed in the two reports. We trust
that once Glasgow makes a definite
start with the equipment of a power
station it will not be found necessary
to send to America for the steam en-
gines.
