ONE WELL; TWO KINDS WATER.
Fresh and Salt Come from Same
Place in Ohio.

\ member of the United states Geo
logical Survey. engaged in making in
vestigations of grOund-water conditions
in Ohio reports that in Hamilton County,
about half mile south of New Buriing
ton, there is a well which yields fresh
and salt water at the same time. Except
for the fact that two pumps are set in it,
side by side. it resembles ordinary wells;
but one Of the pumps supplies water ex-
ccllent to the taste. while the water from
the other is so highly charged with va
rious mineral salts that it is almost brine.
The secret Of the phenomenon lies in
the fact that two water-bearing beds con-
fined between layers of limestone occur
at this point, the upper carrying fresh
water and the lower salt
