The French court, even in It's palm-

The geological survey has issued
report on a most peculiar well that
has been discovered In Hamilton 3coun-
tn Ohio, one half mile south of New
burlington. The well yields fresh and
gsalt water at the same y time, thru
pumps that are side by side. The Sc
sscret Of the phenomenon is found In the,
fact that two water-bearing beds con-
lined between layers Of limestone occur
AZ this point, the upper carrying fresh
water and the lower, water that is al
most pure brine. The pipe of the fresh
water pump Is sixteen feet long, while:
that Of the salt water pump Is thir-
ty-five feet The brine, being heavier
than the fresh water, does not mix
with it. but remains at the bottom of
the we'll. The peculiar phase Of the
matter is that the fresh water is of "a
nelicious flavor and contains not the
olightest trace Of salt.
According to a report issued this
week by the census bureau, there has
been remarkable increase in the
manufacture and use Of electrical sup
plies during the five year period from
1900 to 1905. In the latter year there
were 1874 establishments engaged in the
manufacture OF electrical machinery,
apparatus and sIpp1ies-a gain over
1900 Of 34.s per cent In the number
OF establishments, 1913 per cent in cap
stal, and 1913 per cent in the value OF
products. New York, Illinois, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, Indiana, and New Jersey report
631 OF the f7S4 factories, their output
being so.1 per cent Of the total: That p
the telephone IS coming into almost
universal use is evidenced by the fact
that In 1905 the total value OF tele-
phone apparatus manufacture was
nearly sixteen million dollars, as COM
pared with $10,512,412 for 1900 Illi-
1lois is the great center Of the tele-
phone manufacturing industry, more
than half of the total products being
from that state.
Senator Hemenway, Of Indiana, who
Is manager Of the Fairbanks campaign
for the nomination in 1908, called at
the White House this week. There
were number Of officials present who
were curious to. know just how the
senator would be received, in view of
the fact that he has been somewhat
widely quoted recently to the effect
that Vice President Fairbanks expects
neither brickbats nor bouquets from
the administration. The meeting be-
tween Mr.. Hemenway and the presi-
dent was altogether cordial, and the
political situation was not mentioned
President Roosevelt has clear idea Of
the official proprieties, and 1t is not
likely that he will either throw brick
bats or do anything to advance the
ambitions OF the Indianian's candidacy.
The most cordial relations exist he- ]
