and bored wells. In the bored wells
the air passes in and out through OPEN
ings in the curb, occasionally with con-
siderable force. Often the whistllig
of the escaping air is loud enough to
be heard for several rods. In scane
wells in other parts of the country the
current is strong enough to operate a
whistle that can be heard at dis
lance of a mile. According to the
statements of local drillers. the phe-
nomenon is confined to uncased weiis.

air is expelled with a whistling sound Z:

! The Searchli8ht
A Street Car Ambulance.

The city of Bahia, Brazil, has lately
been provided with street car ambu-
lance. which is one of the most com
pleteiy equipped vehicles of the sort
ever constructed. 1t conveys patients
in outlying districts to the hospitals in
the city with economy and speed.
The car is divided into five sections,
with a hospital and nurses room upon
each end. while in the center is a flu
migating compartment. This makes it
possible for the car to handle con-
tagious-disease patients. Each hospi-
tai section is equipped with four iron
beds with rubber-tired rollers. The
walls between these sections and the
fumigating compartment are abso-
lutely alright, SO that not the faintest
trace of the odor of fumigation reaches
a patient.
The sides of the car drop down to
form a continuation of the floor, which
makes il possible to receive patients
upon a stretcher without having to
change their reclining position.

Some of the wells in the vicinity of
Winnebago. Mimi. are reported as
showing slight daily variations in
level. the water frequently standing
lowest at about 10 am, when the baro-
metric pressure is usually greatest,
and highest at about pm, when
the pressure is likely to be least

passage of storms. the water rising

on the return of fair weather and a
high barometer.
The well of the Red Wing Mailing
Company. 40 feet deep and ending in
sandstone. is said to flow % per cent
more when the wind is northeast
during storms-than ordinarily.
On the approach of storms the water
in the wells of southern Minnesota,
which is ordinarily clear, becomes
cloudy or milky; in others it becomes
bright yellow or deep red
The milkiness is due to silt or clay,
and the yellow and red colors to fine
particles of iron oxide.

Have YOU seen David H. Yocum?
He's about 80 years old, 5 feet 5
inches tall, weighs about $50 pounds,
is of dark complexion, with brown
eyes and black curling hair; on his
body are two scars, one across the
forehead near the part of his hair, the
other below the right knee.
If you've seen David Yocum, or If
you've heard of him, will you get in
touch in some way with his wife,
Mrs. Mary Yocum? For nearly a
year she has been searching for her
missing husband. and her two small
daughters, Margaret, 9. and Mary g.,
have almost given up hope of ever
seeing their papa again.
The story of the departure of Yocum
dstes back almost a year On August
27, 1914, Yocum, a ward of the State
al the Pennsylvania insane hospital,
suddenly disappeared from that insti-
tuition and he had not been heard of
until few weeks ago, when he was
seen in the vicinity of Millerstown.
That he's still somewhere in the world
Mrs. Yocum believes. and she hasn't
given up hope that she may obtain
some trace of him.. That is why she is
asking the Telegraph to publish his
picture and to tell her story.
