THE StXEEHNER SPRINGS.
Extracting the Product Known as
Hunyadi Janos Water.

one of the most interesting industries of
Europe is connected with the process of
extracting the product of the famous Sax
lehner Springs-the well-known Hunyadi
Janos Waterfront the bowels of the earth.
This process is carried out SYSTEMATICALLY
carefully and inteligently. These condi-
tons are said 10 be fulfilled to the minuteSt
degree at OrsOd near Buda Pesth, and the
industrial establishment founded by the
late Mr.. AndreaS SaXlehner, and now car
ried on by his successors furnishes one of
the sights of Hungary There are on the
estate more than 100 wells sunk into the
reservoir of the mineral water
As all roads lead to Rome so do the pipes
in all the SaXlehner wells lead to the cen
tral filing house. In this building there is
machinery which has d capacity for FILL
ing more than 100000 bottles daily. After
the bottle-flling process is completed the
corks and capsules are put on, and, being
labeled, the bottles are forwarded to the
store, whence they ultimately are Dispatch
ed to the four corners Of the globe, and the
Intervening spaces. The convenient and
airy situation of the works adds much TO
the efficiency Of the bottling process, and a
complete Installation of electric lighting
|. plant and electrical power for the machn-
cry tends to this end. In all there are
about 300 workpeople employed in the es-
tabliShment that the preparation of the
many gallons of Hunyadi Janos water sent
out represents very fair local industry.
This Is more apparent to those who are
privileged to visit the place. for it is then
tageS and the private railway, TWO miles in
length, comprise a model industrial COM
munity, quite self-contained and self-sup-
porting.
What lubricating oil is to the machine of
industry the Hunyadi Janos water is said
TO be to the machine of humanity. Some
time in the year 1868 an unimaginative
peasant, meandering the neighbor-
hood of the valley called Orsod, near Buda
PeSth, came across a spring. Soon after
its discovery Mr.. SaXehner purchased the
spring along with the surrounding land
established the flourishing industry 10 ex-
plot the product of the spring, which he
named after a fifteenth century patriot
As to the geological formation of the soil
in which the springs take their rise the
following is said:
THE surface layer, from three to four
feet in thickness, consists of mold and
clay, mainly the latter. Below this is a
stratum from three to five feet in thick
ness, consisting of gravel and sand. Under
this, again, is a stratum of compact, imper-
vious blue clay, which extends downward
as far as can be made out, to a depth of
Ia feet. The uppermost of these layers
contain a small amount of ordinary, potable
water dependent on rainfall The mineral
spring is altogether distinct from this, and
is situated in the stratum of sand and
gravel The impermeabe blue clay forms
a basin in which the medicinal water Is
stored and kept from impurity or admiX-
ture with foreign matter"

Lost in a Kansas CornaeId.

FROM the HerrihSton Times.
Last Wednesday afternoon farmer Nv
ng four or five miles east OF town was out
IN his coTnfield shuckng corn. and a liJtld
fOur-year-old boy went along for company.
as the afternoon was pleasant and the llltla
fellow wanted to help papa shuck corn. "
Along toward night he started alone To 20
to the house. which was but a little way
off and that was the last seen OF him tlll
about sunrise the next morning.
The father finished picking his load OF
corn and went to the house, surprising the
boy was there. but on inquiry found that
such was not the case. Search was AT
once instituted, and the neighbors were
called upon to assist, and it wasn't long be-
fore the corntields We're alive with men and
lanterns looking for the lost child And
to add 10 the grief OF the parents and
friends the rain began to pour down In tor
rents between 10 and IL oclock-but the
boy was nowhere to be found. They con-
tinued the search in the rain, calling for tho
little fellow, but hearing no response The
next morning one of the searching narty
came upon the Wee one. travelling in ono of
the neighbours cornfields a little over half
a mile from home, wet through 10 the skin.
his clothes covered with mud, indiCa ding
that he had probably tired out during the
night and hal lain down to take a sn0oze.
