WRESTLING WELLS.
Natural Barometers Which Foretell Storms
In Wisconsin.

Natural Barometers Which FOretell Storms
In Wisconsin.
A freak of nature which is attracting
considerable attention is series Of
blowing or "whistling" wells located
in the northern part of the town of Eu-
reka, in Polk county, Wis. There are
six of these hysterical wells, ranging in
depth from 100 to 100 feet. The one
owned by James Coffin exhibits most
remarkable features. This well is 1870
feet deep and was dug Is years ago.
The first 20 feet was hardpan and the
rest coarse gravel.
Before a rainstorm the wind blows
out of this we'll with great force, MAX
ing roaring sound that can be heard
long distance. The wind is so hot that
water placed on the cover of the well
will boil The wind blows out only be-
fore a storm, and the severity and du
ration Of the storm are always in exact
proportion to the force of this current
and its duration before the storm COM
mences. It is therefore an accurate and
trustworthy barometer, or vice versa,
with equal accuracy, but remains quiet
in settled weather.
In winter a current of air is drawn
in before change of weather just as
forcibly as it blows out in hot weather.
This current will freeze the water 1870
feet from the surface of the earth as
quickly as it would at the surface, and,
though many attempts have been made
to use a pump in the well, they have
all failed, and a number of pumps of
different makes have been destroyed by
the water freezing and bursting the
cylinders and pipes.
| The other five wells, which resem BILE
this one in many respects, are all locat-
ed within the radius of about one mile
and vary in depth from 1870 to 100 feet.
All sorts of theories have been ad-
vanced concerning an underground pas
sage, but no outlet has ever been discov-
cred, and if there is one it must be a
great distance away in order to foretell
the approach Of storms SO long time
in advance. -Philadelphia Record.
