a WELL THAT SINGS.
A Texas Spring That Has an Aeolian
Harp Accompaniment

A singing well is one of the natural
curiosities of Texas. In fine weather
sounding like that of an Aeollan
harp is given out by the well. At times
the sound is clear: then 1t recedes,
as IL far away. and then it reaches
the ear very family. These changes
take place every few minutes. and
with great regularity. With an east
wind blowing the water in the well
gets very low, and the mysterious
sound is faint. A strong west wind
causes the water to rise and the sound
to increase in volume and clearness.
Before a north wind the well plays its
widest pranks. The water rises near
ly to the top of the well. which is
about 60 feet deep, and gives out wild,
weird noises.

A Cheap Little Greenhouse.

The greenhouse, pure and simple
possible only in exceptionally IA
red localities. where the soil is so
II drained that water does not

so mild that sun heat under pro-
ing glass is all that tenderest
is demand. Whoever in such Il
ion has a stretch of sunny outer

1t. may have loads of flowers
winter through at Il very slight
lse either in money or trouble,
and all the more if Il drum with heat
ed air from furnace hue Is set up
just outside the wall.
For such a greenhouse dig down be
side the house wall TO depth of three
feet and Il breadth of six, all along
the available stretch. Put down a
concrete floor. six inches thick, and
wall up to foot above ground with
either stone. brick or concrete. Upon
top of this wall, set wooden frame
two by four scantling are stout enough
for it, Board up the frame within and
without to n height of eight inches.
Above that have glass, running on
to glass roof. The ROOF is lean
to stayed against the house wall. Have
a door in the end. with steps down to
ii. If possible also have door from
the house-thus in sharp weather one
can go in and out without letting in
the cold air.
Fifty dollars should build and equip
such a greenhouse. Seventy-fve is n
liberal estimate. Fit it inside with
slat wall; ways, laid upon the con
crete floor, a bench of earth all along
the side, its top level with the glass,
and racks rising like steps against
the housc-wall space. Also have
strong hooks overhead to hold swing
ing baskets and pots.
Plant In each outer corner q strong
root of some climbing rose. Dig
through the concrete floor and make
q rich bed for the rose roots. Let
them stay there constantly. Have
the roof movable so 1t can be raised
In summer, or taken wholly away
Train the roses upon wires just un-
derneath the roof.
Passion flowers may well be set in
a deep box of the richest earth against
some part Of the house wall and
trained to cover IL with purple bloom

parlor, by making the walls high
enough to let the roof reach the tops
Of the windows, the glass of them may
have traceries of living bloom.
Plant seed and root cuttings in the
bench, pricking them out. as they
grow, into little pots, and shifting
from the little 10 big ones. Plant
bulbs also in the bench; hyacinths
and tulips for Christmas blossom
about the first Of August, and later
ones in succession. Plant also a few
bulbs in pots. Set them in the shade
under the bench for six weeks, until
they have struck strong roots, then
set in the light and water freely while
they are growing. After the bulbs
are. well set, take the pots into the
house-seventy degrees win not hurt
