ARE NOW ARTEsIAN WELLS.
One Curious Result of the Earthquake
at San Francisco.

1t has just been discovered that the
upheaval of April IS did funny things
to the wells in the courtyard at the
rear of the San Francisco mint, says
the Chronicle of that city. For years
prior to April IS these had been ordi-
nary, we'll behaved wells, yielding
water plentifully when steam pump
was employed. But now they are
spouting artesian wells, from which q
steady stream of water flows when
no pumping is done. This was discov-
cred when the pump was taken out for
repairs, the courtyard being flooded
within short time.
The wells were bored many years
ago, and are about IT'S feet in depth.
There was apparently a subterranean
connection between them, for the
pumping of water from one lowered
the water in the other. Normally, the
water was within 80 feet of the sur
face, and that was the condition when
the pump was taken out last March.
Recently, for the first time since
March, the pumps were again re-
moved, when it was discovered that
the water flowed freely.

''rhis thing of being a humorist is
about the saddest thing l know"
sighed Simeon Ford. "An ordinary
person can have his moods and hui
mors as he pleases, but l must always
be on the job. l am constantly being
invited out, not because I'm liked for
myself alone or because of my manly
beauty, but because l am expected to
entertain the assemblage. The rest
of the company may be as dull as
dishwater, but If do not shake up the
gathering with few jokes the hostess
glares at me and really feels resentful.

despond, but just as soon as l take

expectantly.

being funny. 1t is the most mournful

SURF RIDING is ROYAL SPORT.
How the HonoIuIans Toboggan for
Half a Mile on One Wave.

At Waikiki, near Honolulu, Is a
famous bathing beach Here, winter
and summer, the surf canoes, or bet
ter yet, the surf boards, come dancing
in on the long rollers and men become
amphibious.
There is no sensation quite COM
parable, says the Travel Magazine, to
riding a surf board on a Pacific roller.
1t is tobogganing on a moving hillside
of water, or, if you are clever enough
to stand up on your board, it is taking
this hillside on single big ski
The beach runs far out before It
shelves into deep water, and at high
tide the breakers begin to mount al
most half mile from the shore line.
You go out there with your surf board
and wait for the wave.
You learn to catch it at the right
moment, throw your board inshore
and climb upon it just as the crest of
the roller mounts and catches you
Then on this crest you sail in toward
the shore, to slide down at last when
the wave breaks, down the foaming in
cline into shallow water and churning
foam. 1t is royal sport.

lightning Strikes House.

Mr.. John Mcleod, deputy tax as
SCISSOR of this county, had his house
struck by lightning on Tuesday, July
8, and he and his family had quite an
interesting experience.
The house is built in the form of an
L" the main building running east
and west and the 81" extending
north. There is large hickory tree
standing few feet from the east end
OF the house, this tree was struck by
lightning which passed down the body
OF the tree to the top of the house, it
then left the tree and struck the
house, part Of the charge passing
down the chimney and setting fire to
some trash that was in the fireplace,
the other part passed down the valley
to the southwest corner of the hall
where it divided again, part going up
the plate to the corner of the kitchen
then down the corner post to the
ground, wrecking the post in its
passage. The other portion of the
charge passed down the post on the
northwest entrance to the hall, tear
ing off one of the planks in the hall
and splitting two others on the out
side of the house. When the charge
reached the floor it divided agait, part
passing down the floor to the north
west corner, splitting several planks
in it's course, the remainder turned
south to an adjoining room and pass
ing up through the floor to the steel
springs on a beadstead, down again
to the floor tearing one of the legs of
the beadstead to pieces as it went,
it then passed through the floor to
the sleaper beneath, badly wrecking
it as it went.
1t seems impossible for lightning
to do as much damage to a house as it
did to Mr.. McLeod's and injure no
one. It entered the house at the
northwest corner and passed out at
the southwest corner, having passed
half the distance above the ceiling
and half under the floor, except the
distance of six feet which it passed
in going through the bed The fam
lily were all IN the house at the time
and none of them were injured in the
least. Miss Sallie Mcleod, a daugh-
ter of J. J. Mcleod, and her young
brother Louie, were both sitting on
the bed at the time it was struck.
Her brother was sitting on the foot
of the bed and not over two feet from
the post that was struck. The steel
springs were covered with a mat
tress and over this was spread a
feather bed, it was due to this fact
that they escaped uninjured, as
feathers are a noncorductor of cleo
tricity. A PAssER By.

The pone and Cardinal Vaughan.

On the occasion of the great Marian
congress in Rome, the pope sum-
moned Father Bernard Vaughan to
represent the English speaking peo-
pies. The Italians were amazed TO
find him so un-English, as they
thought, in his dramatic style. tbs
story goes (says a writer in the New
Oxford weekly paper, Varsity Lie
Illustrated'') that one day the pope, m
the presence of one of his cardinals
mimicked the preachers style, where
upon Rampolla exclaimed And ne
is an Englishman!" NO" replied the
pope, ehe was born on the top OK
Mount vesuvius, and we sent him TO

sci and Col F. B. Merrill came up to
Chancery Court to testify in the De-
pot controversy. The HERALD news
taker was an auditor in Court while
the hearing was being had. OF course
we know not of the law, but Judging
from the testimony offered. and in
consideration of the local conditions
there, we rather believe, a decision
will be handed down, letting the de
pot remain where it is. It appeared
to us that the property owners in
majority wish it to stay. The con-
ditious of the new site does not APP
parently offer advantages sufficient
to warrant the proposed change.
This is merely conjectural, and from
no disposition to intermeddle or pre-
JUDGE the matter in any way. We
trust those good people down there
will succeed in getting this question
adjusted to their general satisfaction
and the common good of their town.
