ing into the bowels Of the earth through
gundry natural and artificial openings
made n the earth's crust.
Something over a year ago a Mr.
Coufman undertook the drilling Of q
well at his place. Everything went
well to q depth Of some twenty-five
teet, when the drill suddenly dropped
some six feet and a strong current OF
air issued from the hole. The escap.
Ing air current was so strong that II
blew of the mems hats who were re.
covering the lost drill.
| The well 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 well for days at a time with
such force that pebbles the size Of peas
are thrown out and piled up about its
NORTH until it looks very much like the
expanded portion of 4 funnel. At the
same time it Is accompanied by a sound
much like the distant believing OF y
fog horn. This noise is not always pres.
ent, because the air does net at all times
escape with the same force. Again

Just the cause Of this phenomenon no
Dne has yet been able to determine.
but 1t Is supposed that there is an un.
foreground 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, bit much shorter.
This would seem possible from the
fact that the current Of air is ALWAYS
passing from north TO south, or vice
versa. varying, Of course, q few points

began digging. No one ever expected
to see Gamble alive again, yet each
man worked as if his own life de-
pended upon his efforts. Along
through the darkness of the night they
toiled, and one by one the rocks and
spadetuls of earth were lifted from
above CANDLES resting place.
At 2 o'clock a. m. they were down
thir.y-five feet with the digging when
the man at the bottom of the excava-
ton was astonished to hear groaning
from beneath his feet. With a shout
the men renewed their efforts and tore
the stones away. Gamble was found
in a %crouching position against the
lower stones of the we'll. The falling
walls had formed a low arch just above
him, thus saving him from being
crushed and furnishing him space for
breathing. He was alive and conscious

Death on Either Side.

Patrick L.. F,enne|, who recently left
his home in Montgomery, Penn. to
work in Susquehanna County, has had
q thrilling adventure. Feanel, who is
an engineer, went up into the lumber
woods of SusGuehanna County to run
an engine in a sawmill. When he ar
rived in camp he found that the saw
mill had been in disuse about ten
years. Among the machinery left in
the old mill were a boiler and station
airy engine. They were in bad shape,
but Fennel got them ready for bust
ness.
The other day Fennel fred up to
test the boiler and engine, and then
went away to another part of the mill.
Ho was delayed some, and returned to
find the boiler was generating steam
with startling rapidity. He rushed
into tho boiler house, the door closing
after him with a bang. The door fas-
tened on the outside with a hasp and
drop hook, and the jar caused the
the hook to drop into the staple, MAX
ing Fennel a prisoner. Although
tested to only 100 pounds. the steam
gauge showed the boiler had already
generated ITO pounds, and the culver
ing hand on the steam gauge Was
mounting higher and higher. That
the boiler washable to explode at any
moment Fennel we'll knew. He
glanced at the safety valve and was
startled to see that it had become
fastened in some manner and refused
to work.
He was about to climb up to loosen
the refractory safety gauge when his
eyes behelS u sight from which he
drew back. Around the safety valve,
just where he was about to grasp it
with his hand, was coiled q big rattle
snake, while two other reptiles of the
same species lay on the floor of the
boiler house. They had evidently
been drawn from their hiding places
in the wall or floor OF the cid boiler
house by the heat.
The quivering hand of tho steam
gauge told Fennel only too plainly
that the pressure on the boiler was
becoming terrific. But he could not
pass the serpents and reach the boiler,
neither could he get out of the door.
The only means Of exit was a small
window, and to reach this he would
have to pass the snakes. Near by
stood an iron bar used il clearing out
the fire, and grasping thisvhe crushed
the head of The serpent nearest lem.
The other snake cooled abous.. Wleg
and struck %vlciously, fastsEffg its
fangs into his rubber boot. "a bloi
with the bar crushed the snaR"lassstt1lr's
safety gauge, and then came a struggle
to remove the one around his leg.
Quick as a fash he snapped the smake
in two, and then, with the iron 'ar,.
knocked off the safety valve.
