Where Nae ImmIarants 60.

With regard to the distribution of
newly arrived immigrants, the figures
of the bureau of immigration show
that of the 1900, 600 immigrants who
passed through Ellis island in 1906
about 30 per cent. were destined for
New York state, and most of these
for the metropolitan district; 20 per
cent. for Pennsylvania, Z per cent.
each for Illinois and Massachusetts,
and 51a per cent. each for New Jersey
and Ohio. This would seem to indi.
cate a considerable congestion. But it
must be taken into consideration that
the immigration statistics do not take
into account the great number who
stay in New York only long enough to
discover where they may go, or to
earn enough for their passage to agri
cultural districts. New York is the
clearing house, and already there are
large movements at work to draw from
it the newly arrived labor so badly

WELL OF SODA WATER.
Natural Fountain One Of the Wonders
of California.

One of the most interesting and
novel gushing wells in the world, and
perhaps without a rival in either re-
spect, is a geyser of soda water that
recently came up at Vending, just
across the Mendocino county border
from Sonoma, Cal.
This well produces soda water
genuine soda water-and of a quality
that would warrant bottling for the
general trade in such quantities as
were never struck before. There Is
so much of this water that it is turned
into a huge 1ume and used to float
great logs from the forest to the
lumber mills.
An artesian well 'borer was recently
employed to secure an adequate water
supply for a large sawmill in that
region. He drilled to a depth Of 200
feet, the lower 10 feet being through
solid granite. Then a slight trace o
water was found, The artesian mar
then placed "a sticks of dynamite a
the bottom of the well and exploded
them.
Instantly water gushed up, rising q
feet above the surface of the ground
pouring forth in enormous volume
That was days ago, and since thel
there has been no indication of a ces
sation of this vast natural soda four
