The discovery OF the famous Wood

Gus. Just about a hundred years ago
q shaft was sunk In search of coal. but
the effort had to be abandoned owing
TO a rush Of water. In time the water
foand its way into small brook. and
In due course the Inhabitants began to
speak Of the curative powers Of the
stream. Science investigated the mys-
terry and discovered that the water in
the eOalless shaft was richly impreg-
mated with various salts and bromine
and iodine. Biologists expressed the
interesting opinion that ages ago the
place was the sandy bed OF shallow
lagoon or bay Of tropical sea where
seaweedn Of giant growth abounded.
A mighty convulsiOn Of nature lowered
the sea bed. a great river flowed over
the place. and In time its debris was
formed into a mass OF spongy rock or
sandstone. Forcing itself through this
mass at great pressure some COO feet
below the ground, the water now ex-
tracts the constituents Of the original
seaweed.-LondOn Family Herald.
