Uncle Roy's Corner
BY RAMON COFFMAN.

IN Northern France there Is ar
old province called "Artois," and in
ancient times it was known as
"Artesium."
That province gave a name to
"Artesian" wells. People often speak
of almost any kind OF deep well as
an artesian well, but the true ar
tesian well is one which sends up
water withou pumping. The water
may come up as a high fountain.
Artois has quite a number OF
such wells. So far as our records
show, the first one there was sunk
In 1925.
An old saying tells US that wa
ter seeks its own level" This tend
ency of water explains the arte-
sian we'll
For a true artesian we'll to exist,
there must be higher land within
the range OF the place OF the we'll.
Water from rain or melting snow
eeeps down from the surface OF the
higher land and runs underground
for some distance.
Let us say that the higher land
Is 1000 feet above sea level and that
the water seeps into layer of sand
stone or chalk.
Following the sandstone or chalk
on a downward slant the water
flows several miles until it is be-
meath a village only 1000 feet above
sea level. The people in the village
drill a we'll 500 feet deep and reach
water in he sandstone layer.
The water is under high pressure,
and the pressure forces it up to the
Evening star., 1942-08-12

surface through the hole which has
been drilled. Then an artesian we'll
exists.
A well like that was bored near
Paris lQl years ago. The depth was
1,798 feet, but the 'result was. well
worth the labor of boring. Water
gushed out of the well, making a
fountain with a height of 122 feet
For several weeks the we'll supplied
100000 gallons of water a day.
Since then the flow has not been
so great, but it still yields more
than $4,000 gallons a day.
France is by no means the only
country where true artesian wells
are to be found They exist in var
lous other countries in Europe
Australia has many important ones,
and so does the United States. Can
ada has some of them, and they
have been bored in Northern Africa.
Among the artesian wells of st.
Louis is one with depth of 3843
feet. One In Pittsburgh goes down
4,625 feet.

new house. There are few, just
few, who are not particular or at

old houses left by other people, but
even these have to be fixed up a

that they must.
Old Man Coyote felt that he must.
He felt that never again would he

So Sammy waited as patiently AZ

flew back to the Green Forest. "I'u

And that is what he did, and the

Old Man Coyote had deserted his

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

For most people moving is con-
siderable Of job. There is lot
of packing up, and when the new
home is reached everything has to
be unpacked and put in just the
right place. Most people dread NOV
ing. With the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green Mea-
dows changing from one home to
another is different. They have
nothing to carry but the clothes
on their backs, so there is no pack
ing or unpacking. just the same,
1t usually means whole lot of work.
You see, most Of them build their
own houses. That means If they

had watched him from = binding
place and had wondered 1T what
he saw. OF course, he couldn't know
that Farmer Browns Boy had had
change Of heart-that he had begun
to realize how terribly unfair and
cruel traps are and so had made
up his mind never to set another.
But if he had known this 1t would
have made no difference. Old Man
Coyote would have been afraid that
Farmer Browns Boy might take it
into his head to try to dig him out
and kill him or hide nearby to
shoot him with his terrible gun.
No, sir, he never could live In peace
in that home. There was no ques-
ton about that.

He sighed. Then, because when
he once makes up his mind to do
. thing he does 1t quickly, he turned
his back on the far corner Of the
Green Meadows without even going
to take q last look at his home and
started to look for another.
And that is how it happened that
when Sammy Jay came hurrying
back from the Green Forest to tell
Old Man Coyote how he had fol-
lowed Farmer Browns Boy all the
way home and had seen him throw
his traps down as If he didn't intend
to ever use them again, he could see

OF insects are her regular customers.
Nectar Is served in the open disks
close to each other and even the
shortest tongued guests can sip
from the cups with ease. With so
many valuable assistants, the plant
sets many seeds.
Look into the center of the lace
medallion; there you will find the
true blossom. One should examine
the white umbels under a magni-
flying glass to appreciate the per-
fection Of detail.
After the insects have brought
the important pollen from nearby
neighbors, the slender hower-st
curl inward, and the umbel forms
a hollow nest that gradually con-
tracts and dries. When the winds
Of autumn and winter blow, the
stem bends low before it-and tiny
seed babies, sometimes as many as
300, each provided with long spines
set in bristling rows, are ready to
saa far and wide, over the meadows
and fields.
Inc leaves are fine and fringy,
the stems are from to feet high
and they make lovely background
for more colorful flowers of lower
stature. With cultivated goldenrods
and blue or purple asters, they look
well in any formal garden.
II your field has become infested
with these weeds, they must not
be permitted to set seed. You will
have to cut the flowers before they
turn "gray-headed" and you must
dig them up by the roots before
they become too strong. A weed
may be very charming and appeal
ing, but it can occupy valuable land
that would grow food for soldiers
and allies.
