WE'LL HALF MILE DEEP.

Effort of State of Ohio to Find Artesian Water.
 In 1857 for some reason 1t was thought profitable and possible to se- cure an artesian well in the State house yard. The geology of Ohio as a science was still unwritten. In fact, the first volume of the Ohio Geological reports contains the written record or this boring.
 Down 2,775 feet--over half a mila--the auger was sent by the slow and labori- ous process of the time, and nearly a year was spent in the work. The bur- ing was commenced on November 1, 1857, and stopped October 1, 1858. No, artesian water was found.
 The boring was made in the eastern part of the grounds. Its site was pointed out to the writer some years ago, and it is now probably covered by the cement walk extending out to Third street from the judiciary building. Wa ter was struck and plenty of it-frcsin, salt, sulfur, magnesium, &c,. but none of it came to the top. |
 Professor Theodore c. Wormley, the professor of chemistry in Starring Med. ical college, embraced the opportunity to secure the temerature of this decp boring. With a thermometer placed in specially preared iron case. and let at the bottom of the boring twenty four hours,he found the temperature at the bottom to be eighty-eigh- degrees Fahrenheit. Making deductions for tine distance below the surface at which the heat of the sun ceases to be felt, he computed that the temperature in- creased one degree for every seventy one feet of desc4nt. At that time Eu- ropean scientists, wi1) were carefully studying this branch of physical seog raphy, had estimated that tho tempera- ture increased in such conditions one degree for every sixty-six feet.

A SUNBEAM FROM KANSAS.

Q" - ~ N-S4A<AAaA 4EO2n hEALNS<4Gs
 Judge Dana of Kansas has rendered a decision which is destined to become exceedingly precious to all lovers of the human race. When its full import has been grasped by the nation, it will be cherished as one, and not the least notable, of the waymarks on the road to freedom. To be sure, it relates inn meldiately to the jackass and the ina iltnable right to bray; but how easy it Is to extend Judge Dana's enlightened reasoning to cover certain rights of man hotherto often imperiled. The k1nship between man and the jackass has long since been pointed out by phi- losophers, perhaps most clearly by Thomas Carlyle, who perceived it in all of his friends and most of his country men. Mostly fools," that is, jack asses, said Carlyle of the English peo- pie; while Timon of Athens makes still less reservation. What are we, Ape- mantus? Asses declared that great psychologist. Not to quote needless au- thorities to establish a point which many think self-evident, let it suffice to add that the Holy Scriptures confirm the view of Carlyle. Men are born ike wild asses colts" says Job. delicately l meaning to suggest, of course, that they grow up jackasses. Whatever right, then, Judge Dana's decision se- cures to the jackass belongs to the hu- man race as next of kin. The question at issue was of the right to bray.
 It appears that the postmistress of Richland, in Kansas, dwelt next door to a stable where divers of these in- harmonious beasts were kept; and whenever she sat down to her harp and began hymn, they, as if possessed by demon of mockery, sat up cocopho- nous competition with her. She ap- pealed to the law. The law sustained her brazen-throated rivals. "The court" said Judge Dana, twill not de- prlve a 5ackass of his right to bray"
 Without pausing to point out how this decision buttresses the liberty of the press, or to note what comfort it must be to the pulpit; let us reflect upon the consolation it bears for MT. Thomas Lawson. Consider his wretch ed plight had the scale of justice in- clined otherwise and had Judge Dana decided that under some circumstances a Jackass has not the right to bray. For example, when, like Balaam's fa- nous mount, his discor1s invoke ruin upon those who heed them. To what a - sad and infructose silence would this miscarriage of justice have reduced MT LaWson--Portland Oregonian,

AN INCENTIVE TO INDUSTRY.

A good many people like to work when they have something that they think Is worth working for. A United States officer in the Philippines made
 the discovery that some of the natives would be industrious enough if they had the proper stimulus. This officer needed labor in order to carry out cer- tain necessary public improvements. He engaged sixty natives for this under taking at stipulated wage of thirty cents silver currency (12 1-2 cents American currency), a day. The first
 day all the men deserted, because ru- nor got around that the Americans, like the Spaniards, would not pay them
 for public work of this character. The men were persuaded to return to work and were paid their full wages regular ly as promised. As soon as money be- gan to circulate among them the agents of the nearest Dattos and Sultan came into town in order to get the money away from the workmen on various pretenses. As this discouraged the in- dustry of the laborers, all such agents were expelled from the district and not allowed to return. This measure result ed in something of a local boom, and two entire villages and many isolated families of Moros at once pulled up stakes and moved into the post in order to be free from the official exactions of their chiefs. When they had little
 money ahead, however, the men began to stop work, as they had nothing to

MORE LIFE IN CHICAGO.

Chicago has rich man who willingly pays his full share of the taxes, and she has other remarkable things. For instance, death rate which will soon be below zero, if something unfortunate doesn't happen to it. Chicago's mortal- ity statistics for July are now published, and they show that New York, with double her population, had more than three times as many deaths, that Phil adelphia with a population smaller by half a million had several hundred more, and that Baltimore with quar- ter of her population had more than half as many. The Chicago death rate last month was only 13.4S; in very few American cities does the rate fall as low as 15, while in some it goes as high as 25. The good showing is all the more remarkable when we consider that mo- where in this country is life more hur- ried, tense and strenuous than in Chi cago, while that city certainly has it's full share of murders and fatal acci- dents.
 Perhaps there will not be any great rush to Chicago soon, but the prospect of immortality on earth cannot fail to be attractive to many, even if it does demand life in Chicago.

4 GOOD ARRANGEMENT.

Some of the countries south of us are making progress. Bolivia and Chilli now have a treaty of peace. It may be remembered that after Chili had van quished both Peru and her ally Bolivia a truce was concluded between the lat ter country and Chilli, in virtue of which +he important port of Antofo- gasta and the whole Bolivian coast on the Pacific were to be temporarily oc- cupled by Chilian troops until treaty of peace should replace the truce and definitely cede the Bolivian seashore in absolute sovereignty to Chili. This was arranged in 1882, and since then Bolivia constantly hoped that some for tunate events would restore her Pacific provinces to her. Meanwhile she suf- fered commercially, and she decided finally, at the beginning of the present year, to sign with Chili, instead of the former truce convention, a formal treaty of peace. which offers great commercial and financial advantages to Bolivia, as a compensation for a few leagues of shore territory ceded in full sovereignty to Chili. Soon after the Bolivian government sent to Santiago a delegation, which arrived there last June, and which was instructed to en- gage Chilian masters for the schools of La Paz, Sucre, Oruro and other large Bolivian towns. This shows the friend ship of both countries, and the influ- ence of Chili, for the influence of a country over another cannot, as says Las Ultimas Noticias, of Santiago and Valparaiso, ''assume a more noble and effective form than the sending of teaching masters to instruct the new generations of the friendly country"

It is absolutely rediculous to assert that to return Manchuria to China means to return that province to a state of barbarism, says Dr. Morrison, the Pekin correspondent of the London Times, who is now at Portsmouth, N. H. "On the contrary, Manchuria, un- der Chinese control, will prosper ex- ceedingly. It is great province,
 wealthy and civilized, and the removal of Russian domination will in no way Impede its progress. The governor-gen- eral of Manchuria is Chao-E -Tsun, one of the most enlightened of China
 men, and of whom Professor Jeremiah w. Jenks of Cornell university, who came to China to investigate the cur rency question for the United States government, declared that he was the most intelligent man he had ever met in the kingdom. Governor Chao-Erh, Tsun is only awaiting the relinquish- ment by Russia of her control over Manehuria to assume his civil functions in the province, and it is a safe predic- fion that under his wise guidance the province will make rapid progress
