WELL GIVES hot WATER.
Experts Think S"ubtcrrancan Fire I
Heating Underground Stream.

F
tCcnncrsvillc. Ind, Dispatch to New
York WORLDLY
y we'll in DIR. Ii. NJ. Zehruns's homo
in Eastern venue began yielding hot
water 1--WE weeks ago. M has since
kept II up. Tho water originally was
roId, and the change to hot water,
winch was sudden. was supposed at
first to be due to the breaking of a
hot water pipe somewhere near. A
thorough investigation vas made and
nothing Of the kind was found. Then
Dr. Zehrung tried to pump the hot
water out of tho ground. hut the tenn
peraturc kept up to about 121 degrees
In spite of his efforts.
The well is dug for L. feet and is
driven % feet farther through a thick
layer of hard pan which water could
hardly penetrate. The dug portion of
the we'll was found to be dry. and how
the water came to he heated is IL mys-
terry. When cooled. it is as good for
drinking as ii was before the hot wa.
ter appeared.
Several experts have interested
themselves i'm the strange case, and
they have unanimously agreed tina,
the water is heated by some bidder
source in the earth and not by any
artificial means. Some Of them say
-''"s .'Ah' Wv Va vi - WI ItbS IIdt
unaccountable connection with 81 sub
tcrranean stream which in its turn is
heated by a subtcrreancan fire. Tho
temperature OF tho water has riser
slowly since 1t changed, and during
the two weeks has risen from a heat
OF about % degrees. which was the
first temperature taken after the
change was noted. to 12l degrees. II
is somewhat alarming to DIR. inc Mrs.
Zchrung. who fear that a geyscr will
burst out in their kitchen, in which
the well is situated.
An effort was made a few days ago
to pump the well dry. hut the longer
the pumping continued the hotter tho
water became. and after two hours of
steady work the iron spout was sizz-
ling. steam belchcd from every dis
charge Of the fluid. and the supply
was apparently as strong as ever.
The situation recalls the statements
Of Aaron Hines. a labcrer. who 4 year
ago wac employed to dig 4 we'll just
east of the. city. not more than half a
mile from the Zehrung home. He
sank the hole to nearly 20 feet. with
the aid Of a boy. who removed the
earth by means Of a windlass. Then
he became alarmed and hurriedly
climbed out of the excavation. the
walls of which caved in a few minutes
aftesward. Hines declared that his
pick had struck through q layer Of
tough clay into q hidden cavern. out
OF which a Jet OF burning hot water
and vapor Kushed. His narrow es-
cape from the caving walls. was II
known fact. hut his story Of the hot
water was not generally believed.
