KdUAI'S QUEER WELL.
Its Flow Changes with the Hour OF the Day
as Regularly AS ClOckwOrk.

FROM ne harmon star.
most curious phenomenon has been OBJ
served in the flow OF an aytesan well on keulia
plantation. Kauai. The water has regular vari-
atoms in its flow. being lowest at o'clock in
the morning. gradually rising until It attains
its greatest now at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon.
and then as gradually falling until O clock in
the morning.
Manager George H. Farchild OF the planta-
ton thus describes the peculiar phenomenon:
The top u the pipe is - feet above sea
level. At X feet there is flow OF about | .OOO,-
900 gallons in twenty four hours l5y adding ,
feet more Of pipe the flow stops. We have had
month or more. waiting for extra pipe to con-
duct the water to the mill whore 1t is to De-
used We have noticed u peculiar action Of
this column OF water, md have been unabl"
TO find any explanation Of it. II the publica.
ton Of the facts will lead to an explanation
will be very much graticd.
The column OF water in this five feet addi-
tiOnal pip" placed TO prevent the flow AT
o'clock in the morning is az its owest point
| I, inches below the top OF the pipe. Then IL
ppr. The flow increases until = O'Clock. when
there il quite flow. From that time II gradu-
ally falls, until ~ / O'Clock M night there Is Il
very slight flow, and this ceases at O'Clock in
the morning, the water gradually falling until
II reaches the lowest point at x O'Clock. when
il begins to rise again.
II has been suggested that this change in
flow is due 10 the tides. or To the rotation Ot
the earth, or to tho influence oi the sun. 1t is
interesting, and should like satisfactory ex-
plantation.

Col. A. e. Boone, promoter of the Black

ing the preliminary work for the road. In
letter to the Charleston Post as to the
coast terminal of the road, Col. Boone
says:
''The road will go to Port Royal, S. C.,

CITY BREVITIEs.

Pat Cunningham of the Third Connecti-

Sixth Immunes were each fined $40 or ff-
teen days by Recorder Hartridge yesterday
for disorderly conduct
The fire department was called out at
9 o'clock last night to the residence of
W. b. Bennel, on East Broad street, be-
tween Taylor and Gordon streets. The
blaze had started from some kerosene oil
that had been spilled in the room. The
fire was spreading and threatening to de-
stroy the place, but 1t was about under
control when the apparatus from engine
house No. 4 appeared. Supt. Mcguire said
there was no considerable loss
A small boy and a Texas pony came
near meeting with serious mishaps yester-
day afternoon. The boy, in company with
a girl, evidently his Sister, was rushing
across Whitaker street, in the rear of the
First Baptist Church, when he fell in
front of passing wagon. The driver, in
pulling up his horse TO prevent running
over the lad, threw the animal on the
sidewalk, against an iron railing; in fall
ing he got his head damned In such po-
sition as to make IL look as If he would
die before he could be embarrassed. With
the aid of some workmen at the church
and the street car men, the horse was got
up unhurt. In the meantime, the boy,
who caused the trouble, had scampered
away, and was out of sight.
