Well! Well!

James Beatty, of Huntington, N. Y., has a well on his premises that appears to be both a curiosity and a puzzle. The well is 23 feet deep, and it is dry every year from January 1 to the first week in March—as regular as the days of the year. It will be as full the day before it dries up as at any time during the year, and on the following morning not a drop is to be seen where a depth of three or four feet existed before. About the first week in March the well fills again in a few moments aud continues so for the remainder of the year. The principal London theaters hold the following number of persons: Drury Lane, 3,751; Her Majesty’s, 2,444; Astley’s, 2,407 ; Covent Garden, 2,299; Alhambra, 2,208; Surrey, 2,161; Prin 1 cess’, 1,687; Sadlers Wells, 1,568; Lyceum, 1,455; Adelphi, 1,367; Savoy, 1,274; Imperial, 1,271; Gaiety, 1,243; Haymarket, 1,158; St. James, 1,105; Globe, 943; Olympic, 889; Avenue, 844; Court, 728; Strand, 704; Criterion, 675; Toole’s, 657; Royalty, 645; Prince of Wales, 504.
