People Greatly Stirred.

One of the most interesting features
of the later stories of the recent Yep
pelin raid over parts of England is the
effect W ich the visitation had the
mindsof the inhabitants of rural
towns which hitherto had been far re-
moved from the horrors of war. One
correspondent writes:
ut is not easy to describe all the
feeling with which the outrage has
filled the people. for they vary accord
Ing to the vividness of individual recol-
lection and the nearness Of the per-
sonal loss. Several of the persons
killed in this town were children, four
were women and two were men, both
of them having been over fifty years
of age.
Grief Not Paraded.
what harm had my child done? is
the question which has been asked
over and over again by bereaved par
ents. But their grief is not paraded
in the streets, and II is only here and
there that one feels the gloom of death.
While many houses are in mourning
the streets have become places for
sightseeing.
The townspeople, II you press them,
do not deny, that while the Zepplin
was dropping its bombs they felt a
dread akin to the terrors Of a night
mare. When morning came and the
effect of the first shock had passed,
horror and anger took the place of
fear. Now, the horror is gradually
passing. but the feeling Of anger re-
mains"
Public Is Warned.
The Daily Mail published a letter
from meteorological expert warning
the British public that the next Yep
pelin raid over London probably. will
take place in daylight. He supports
3 the prediction by meteorological data
regarding probable cloud and wind
conditions, which, he says. are likely
to make approach easy and pursuit by
aeroplane dificult.

Changes are Being
 Made at Library

Several greatly needed changes and improvements have been made in the George c. Thomas Memorial library during the past month. Two small rooms have been thrown into one. and this has been fully equipped with shelves to hold the files of gov ernment reports which have been accommodating for years, but which have been of little use hitherto, owing to lack of space for their proper disposal. These are now classified and arranged by subjects and soon will be easily accessible,

 In these days of hit and run and pltch-outs it does not seem as If a southpaw athlete would be handi- capped behind the bat if he could obtain left-handed paraphernalia, but there may be reasons of which we wot not.

PECULIAR WELL IN FLORIDA.

PECULIAR WELL IN FLORIDA.
 In their investigation of the wells and underground waters o1 Florida the geologists of the United States Geological Survey have noted many interesting things. Among these is well at Welaka. on St. Johns River, from which two kinds ct water are obtained
 This well is 3O9 feet deep. The length of the casing Is 110 feet. The well was first drilled to 160 feet and from this depth ordinary "sul phur' water was obtained. The drill was then carried to depth of 309 feet, where 1t encountered strong mineral water, having disagree able, salty taste. In order to use both kinds of water an inner tub ing was run nearly to the bottom of the well Both this and the outer casing were connected with pumps, so that ordinary water and mineral water can be pumped at the same time. favorite joke played on visitors is to give them a drink of the weaker water In the first glass and to replace it with the brine in the second.
 Not more than half dozen wells of this kind are known in the coun- try. but there Is no reason why si- milar wells cannot be obtained in regions where the waters in the deeper
