SEVERELY INJURED
WHILE DOWN IN WELL

Silver City, Feb. 10.-E. G. Rock
met with serious and what might
have been fatal, accident while
working at the bottom Of sixty-five
foot we'll on the w. A. Bond farm.
While engaged in uncoupling the cyl
inder OF the pump, in some manner a
piece of two inch plank slipped into
the well, and before he could get out
of the way it struck him with terri
fic force on the left arm below the
elbow. AS soon as possible he was
rushed to town and an examination
of the arm made, when, on account Of
the crushed condition of the bones, it
was deemed best to take him to Coun.
ell Bluffs for an X-ray examination.
This was accordingly done and the
injured member dressed. He was lat
er brought home but will be badly
crippled for some time.

THE GREATEST SEA DEPTHS

piece of iron will sink to the
bottom, no matter how deep the wa
ter is, because water is only slightly
compressible. If water were highly
compressible, as air is, the water at
a great depth would be much denser,
and therefore heavier, and an object
would sink until it reached a point
at which it's weight would be less
than that of the water which it dis
placed and there ii would float, as
clouds float in the atmosphere. But
cubic foot of iron weighs more
than cubic foot of water at a
depth Of two miles just as it does at
the surface, and therefore continues
sinking until it reaches the bottom.
The ocean has been sounded to a
depth of 32,088 feet, over six miles.
This is just off the Philippine Island
of Mindanao. Several other points
in the Pacific show depths of over
10000 feet. From the lowest sea
depth to the highest mountain peak
is $1,000 feet, which is about 1-500th
of the earth's diameter.

ORIGIN OF THE GIPSTES
christian Herald.)

When Gipsies first appeared in
England in the fifteenth century the
name Gypsy was given to them by
the English people, who believed
them to have come from Egypt. The
French. by similar mistake. called
them Bohemians. But a careful study
of this race. and especially of their
language. shows that they came orig
inally from India, The Gypsy lang
uage is derived from the Sanserit as
are the other Aryan languages of In
dia. A similar error was made by
the English when they called a dis
tinctively American bird turkey,
under the impression that it was an
from the Ottoman en-
pire, and by the French when they
called the same bird cog d'Inde, be-
lieying that it came from India
