Returned to State Reform School.

An interesting story in the police circles came to light Tuesday after noon when State Agent Perish came to this city. Sometime ago young man named Grant was sent to the re- form school from this city for few petty thefts. He was later given his freedom on parole and he came to this vicinity where he again started in on his old tricks. Before he could be brought to trial for his misbehavior he skipped out. Shortly afterwards Chief Richmond received a. communi- cation from the authorities of Meri- den that the man was wanted in that city for taking a horse without per mission. The Meriden police have been unable to locate him but when the state agent was asked what he knew about the man he stated that the young man had returned to the Meriden reform school and was now in that institution.

DEEP WELLS AND THE SEA.
Why Water Rises and Falls With
 Ebb and Flow of Tide.

In their investigation of the under ground water resources of She coastal plain of Virginia, the geologists of the United States geological survey have collected data relating to many hundreds of artesian well that yield flow exhibited by these wells with the rise and fall of the tides is of pecu- liar interests, the flow being notably greater at flood than at ebb tide. It is the general opinion among we'll drillers that practically all flowing wells near tidal rivers or inlets from open bays do feel the distant sea, but some of them so slightly that the variation in flow is not noticeable.
 The geologist in charge of the ground-water investigations in Vir- ginia states that changes in water level in wells, due to fluctuations in the height of the surface Of some neighboring body of water, have been observed all over the world. It is customary to explain these changes by supposing a direct connection be- tween the river, lake or bay; but in many places, as in Eastern Virginia, such connection is clearly impossible owing to the depth of the wells and the nature of the intervening beds, some of them dense. tough marls and cIays. These beds, however, though they do not transmit water, never theless contain it, and as water Is pra ctically incompressible, any varia- ton of the level on the river or bay is transmitted to the well through he Warer-filled gravels sands, clays and marls. When a porous bed is tapped by a well the water rises to the point of equilibrium and f1uctuates as the hand of the ocean varies it's pressure on the beds that conf1ne the artesian flow
