Big Spring of Fresh
Sulphur Water in Sea

Bubbling up out Of the ocean from a
depth of 125 feet, big spring of fresh
sulphur water, two miles off the coast
| Of Florida and eight miles south Of st.
Augustine, was recently surveyed by
experts of the United States coast and
geodetic survey. Long known to resi-
dents Of st. Augustine and marked on
charts, the spring has been the source
Of speculation for years.
A short time ago the government
scientists anchored directly over the
troubled waters of the sea spring and
proceeded to investigate it. The wa
ter sampled was about the same tenn
perature as the surrounding Atlantic,
but the tremendous size and force OF
its geyserlike upwelling was plainly
apparent at the surface. The ocean
floor surrounding the spring is only
about fifty-five feet deep, but the
spring rises from depression which
measures more than 125 feet deep.
A strong odor of sulphur pervades
the atmosphere around the spring and
the force of the water was such that
1t was only with difficulty that the ship
was prevented from being pushed
away by the bubbling waters. Sam
pies of the waters at various depths
were secured and forwarded to the
United States bureau Of chemistry for
nalysis-Kansas City Star.

Relief Work Now Under Way

Castlegate, - Relief work for the

direction of Chairman Elizabeth w.
Stevenson of Price.
Headquarters and food and cloth

the basement of the amusement hall
and all contributions are being re-

found to be in need. The funds are
being furnished out of the treasury Of
the local Red Cross chapter and word
has been received from division head
quarters in San Francisco by w. ].
Richardson, who is in national organ

can be drawn from there if necessary.
Future plans for rehabilitation of
the stricken families are being held
until after the establishment Of a
problem offers no difficulties as the
families live in company houses and
fuel is being furnished them by the
company. The local Red Cross
workers have taken care of all i'm
mediate distress and surveys OF the
homes are being made by workers
and members of local and county civic
organizations.
There are a few cases of desperate
need, where small families have been

Castlegate, Utah.-All suspense is
now ended at this little mining town
for not a man was taken out alive
afte the explosion which wrecked the
coal mine and took the lives of one
hundred and seventy-five men. From
the report of the rescuers all were
killed when the first blast occurred.
At the first left escapeway, from
which all rescue work has been con-
Quoted, the toll continues unremit-
tingly and as feverishly as when the
first call for help was given. The
difference now is that the work is so
thoroughly organized as to be almos:
automatic. The well-conceived plan
of operation goes forward without
hitch as shift succeeds to shift al
most without words and wholly with
out confusion.
Grim visaged miners, dirt and sweat
stained, toll at intervals up the steer
incline of the blasted entrance to the
escapeway, bearing on stretchers the
canvas-covered forms of their com
rade victims. Perhaps fifty workers
waiting for their turn to enter stand
silently while the bodies are given
first examination at the receiving
tent and from there are transferred
to the waiting motors, which take
them swiftly down the dusty, narrow
canyon to the rapidly filling morgue.
A few quiet words among the
watchers as lost friends name is
told, an anecdote or two about "his
brother is in there, too" or zone of
the best we had," and another
stretcher comes as a new shift goes
on duty, with cap lights lit and
tools in hand.
Down in the town the first atten-
ton is now turned to the planning of
last sad rites for those who have
gone. Those who have been left be-
1ind are finding comfort in the min
strations of the generously outpour-
I'd help of the community and state.

measure that we mete Wlthal it shall be measured to
you again-Luke 6:38.
III HE SPIRIT of Hin who said Give, and it shall be given unto
I you,' is entering more and more into the celebration of His
birthday throughout the United States and the world. And in
this there is much encouragement in the belief that the world
really is growing better.
Never before-as revealed by the history of nations-has
there been such a universal desire to heal the sick, feed the hun
CRY, clothe the naked and make happy the unhappy.
This desire is manifesting itself in many ways and in all sea-
sons. An example is seen in the Chritmas tree, sponsored by the
local Rotary club at which last night more than a thousand
Brownsville children received gifts and gained a glimpse of the
spirit of Jesus, the story of whose birth will be told throughout
the land tonight.
And such things are happening all over the land. Every in
season as best he may. Men in jals and prisons, who have lost
their liberty because OF some act against society will not be for
gotten. Cities are feeding their poor through different agencies
and large groups are abandoning the habit of exchanging unneed-
eel and unwanted gifts and are donating the money to worth
while charitable causes.
But more important than all this: There axe more orphanages
in the world today than ever before and fewer homeless orphons
there are more schools and fewer uneducated children and adults
and there are more societies for the prevention of mass and in
dividual suffering-chief of which is the Red Cross-and less
want and hunger. There are fewer hungry to feed and more
open purses and hearts to feed them.
Men are turning away from thoughts of hate, slowly it is true,
and to thoughts of brothelly love-which He laugh so nobly.
- Let us at this season seek to forget aught that our brother
has done to wound us in the past and as nearly as we may obey
His command, Love thy neighbor as thy self"
