SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

A NEW SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF SINKING WELLS, "v*5 -iKsfl ji ,fej

A Description of the Pecnll.irly Interesting, Though Usually Quito Harmleu, Effects I'roiluced by Lightning Striking la the LOOM Sand on a 11 ill Top.

Anew scientific method of sinking wells, as operated by the American Well works, Aurora, Ills., is illustrated in the picture here given.

It consists simply of putting a saw on to a large gas pipe and connecting to the upper end a water swivel that forces water into tho pipe. The pipe is then put into a machine suifcable for tho use and is mode to revolve.

As it cuts a path into the earth a

p'Slx&'ZZ stream of water "''"•paisog down through the casing or tubo to be sunk, and wiishcs away the cuttings tbat ore made by the dlPj saw at the lower end. The mud, water and cuttings ||p§ come up on the jgjsjy outside of the casing, and the pressure of the water prevents the hole from caving «P°n

WELL SINKING AP- is continually runPARATUS. ning down the casing and coming up on tho outsido. In this way 600 feet of seven inch pipe, it is claimel, has been sunk in the city of New Orleans in forty-eight hours.

Since this invention, there have been numerous wells made in the southern states, where artesian water could not be obtained by other methods. It will readily be seen that, In Kinking a well in this manner, tho fine materiul is washed away and the counter left for the water to percolate through and reach to tho ioint in the bottom to flow over of its own accord or to be pumped by the general methods employed.

Fulgurite*, or Lightning Holes. The disastrous results so often attendant, upon an electric discharge havo been dwelt upon finco time immemorial but tho peculiarly Interesting, though usually harmless effects, produced by lightning in loose sand, are rarely alluded too. In the sand the usual result produced is that of fusion, whereby a frail, glassy tubo of variable diameter and length is produral, the interior of which is a time anioiphous glass, quite smooth, while exteriorly it is roughly granular and greatly corrugated. Such are called fulgurites or fulniinalion tubes in English, while, to tho German and French they are known as Blitaroliren and tubes fulminaires respectively.

KULQITKITG TURKS.

The fulgurites shown in tho out ait) from mr.toi ial received from Union Grove, Ills., and now in the collections of tho national museum. These nix* described in detail in ropulur Science Monthly, from which description it appears that these materials represent one c.f tho most extensive finds of fulgurites yet noted in this country. Tho locality whero this occurred is the top of a sand hill mine fifty feet square. Several sets or pairs of ul»es were found hero, but a few inches apart, together with several small, irregular musses of fused material, the largest of which weighed several ounces. Tho largest tubo found was almut three and a Inlf inches in diameter, but was too frail to remove.

The plato shows tho characteristic forms. Fig. 1 represents a portion of tub© of common form. Fig. "J Is jeculiiu ly striking with its bulb like enlargement Fig. 3 represents a cross section of tubo of characteristic form. Fig. 4 shows holes fused by lightning in sheet copper, and resembling fulgurite tubes in outline. One of these tubes was traewl into the sand for a listanco of about seven feet

The results of a comparatively recent analysis of both the fulgurito glass aud the sand in which it was formed makes it appear that the glass was not pure quart* glass, although it showed itself to be richer it. silica than the sand from which it originated. The conclusion arrived at is that the composition of tho fulgurite glass is dependent entirely upon tho conducting power of tho various mineral constituents of the sand, regardless of their fusibility that the glass, showing a larger proportion of silica than the sand in which it forms, points to the fusion of the siliceous (L e., tho quarts) grains, in preference to the feklspathic and ferruginous hence, that the quarts grain* were poorer conductors of the electric tluid than were the others.

Inflame* ol Klectrleltr on KoeU. Numbered with other interesting experiments conducted by Professor Hodifless, of Germany, are those showing the influence of electricity on the growth of roots. Plates of copper were thrust upright into the earth and connected by wire with similarly placed tine plates, about 100 feet distant, an electric battery being thus formed with the earth betwwn such copper and sine in the circuit. Both potatoes ard beets planted between such plates gave an increasing yield—beets 15 per cent—as compared with other parte of the same field.

Dr. Louts Jobert states in a recent publication that no purely left handed race has ev*r been discovered, although 70 per cent of the inhabitants of the Punjab use the left band by preference, as do also the largest part of the Hottentots and Bushmen of South Africa. In a study of criminate Dr. Marro has found that from 14 to 22 per cent of couvicte war* fcsft handed, the highest ratio among of all claw* being only nine in Uw

1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Cartons Queries on Many SuttfectsCarefuily Answered. What was the origin of the Spanish nation.

From remote antiquity the elevated regions In the interior were peopled by tho CeltiberIATW, a race formed by a mixture of Celts and Iberians. The Phoenicians came next, then the Greeks, who applied the name of Iberia, which was changed by the Romans to Hespania. After the first Punic war the Cartfcagenians established themselves in Spain. The Greek colonies applied to the Romans for aid against the Carthagenians. Scipio, a Roman general, expelled the latter in 210 B. C. and finally the Romans conquered the whole country. When tho Roman power declined the Germans appeared in Spain. It was subdued by the Visigoths, and still later on by the Moors. Christian and Mohammedan contended till Granada, the last Moorish province, yielded to Ferdinand and Isabella.

Theory of Tides."

Please state why the tide rises and falls, j.

The most probable theory is as follows: Suppose the earth to be a smooth sphere covered with water of uniform density. The attraction of the moon on the pliable water nearest to her would be greater than on the solid earth, causing a heaping of tho water toward her. So far the matter seems very simple, but there is also another heaping up of water on the opposite side of the globe at the same time. This is explained by the fact that tho water on the side awny from the moon is attracted less than the solid earth, and tho earth is therefore thrown away from the water, thus causing the water to be heaped up, though not so much as that directly under the moon on the opposite side. Tho sun has two-fifths as much influence on the waters as the moon. But sihee the earth revolves on its axis, and the moon at times acts in a direct line with the sun, and at times in a contrary direction, these motions never give the waters I into to take a spheroidal shape as they would do when at rest. An imperfect form of it travels around the earth in a lunar day, and tho tide rises later as the moon does. When the sun and moon attract in the same direction wo have the highest tides and vice versa.

A Question of Klght. j.

Not long ago, while on a visit, I became acquainted with a young lady, and on my return homo began a correspondence with her. She has written me to address my letters to an assumed name, as she fears her father may object if he discovers our correspondence. Now, I don't wish to offend her father or act dishonorably. Yet I wish to continue our correspondence. What shall I do? John T.

There may bo special circumstances which render it essential for her to ask you to act clandestinely, but on general principles wo Miould say that there is a want of strength of character in the young lady. Most women of high principle would correspond openly or not at all.

A newspaper lioax perpetrated in 1833 in The New York Sun. The auther wns Richard Henry Loekc. It was known that an eminent nstromomer—Sir John Heretic!—was at the Cape of Good Hope, with instruments of great jxnver. Tho article in The Sun purported to lie taken from The Edinburgh Journal of Science. It gave an extraordinary account of Hei-shel's discoveries with what the}' declared to lie a seven-ton glass, describing Lunar scenery as if but a hundred yards away, and Lunar inhabitants like men bats. After hoaxing nearly everybody in America it was published in England, where it met with almost equal success, and was even discussed in tho French Academy of Sciences. It was, iu fact, read all over Europe.

A GYMNASTIC EXERCISE USEFUL IN EVERY DAY LIFE.

An Easy Way of Ascertaining the Breadth ol a Kiver—A Very Interesting LFMOD In Natural History Introducing tho Horned Frog*

Among curious animals native to the western part of North America is the so called horned frog or horned toad, which is neither frog nor toad, bttt a species of lizard. Though of repulsive appearance, tho horned frog, of which a picturo is here given, is not venomous, and neither bites nor sVings. This curious animal has a body much flattened and covered with numerous spine like scales, a triangular head well armed with sharp spines, and a short, triangular tail bearing a row of sharp spines along the margin. The general color is dark gray (though some are brownish), marked with black the under parts are of a sivery white. These animals are insect eaters.

HORNED FROG.

There are at least six different kinds or species of this frog, all of which are natives of western North America—one species being found as far east as Arkansas. They abound in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico to California, and as far north as Oregon. The cut represents, according to The American Agriculturist, one of the easternmost species, also the one most numerous and best known. In the regions named these animals are so common that they attract little attention, except from travelers *e»Jio see them for the first time. They are said to take refuge in their burrows to hibernate or pass the winter in a dormant state. .... vs,

Measuring the Width of a Kiver. The approximate breadth of a river, of other stream, may be determined by means of the brim of a hat or the peak of a cap and this can be done by a boy as well as a man.

THE ANGLES ABB AND CBB ARE EQUAL. Tho person desiring to ascertain this fact must place himself at tho edge of one bank of the river and lower the brim of his bat, or peak of his cap, till be finds the edge just cuts the other bank then after placing the hand under the chin, he must turn round steadily till he faces some level ground on his own side of the river, and observe when the edge of the peak again meets the ground. The measure of this distance will be very nearly the breadth otthe river.

To Excite Electricity.

If a thick glass tube be taken in the hand, rubbed briskly with a dry woolen Cloth or a silk handkerchief, and then brought near to light sulstances, as small pieces of paper, small balls of elder pith, etc., lying on a table, what will be observed? The little pieces of paper or pith balls will fiy into contact with the glass tube, and then dart oft again. They will continue to fly up and down for some time.

The glass tube produces these effects, at, first, by attracting these light bodies into contact with it, and then repelling them away from it

Sealing wax, and many other substances, when rubbed, will act on light bodies just as glass does. This peculiar state into which the surface of the glass is brought by rubbing is called the state of electrical excitement the glass is said to be electrically excited, electrified.

By attention to these Rimple principle many curiou3 tricks may be performed, ve^r surprising to those who know little or nothiig of the real cause of the marvel.

RUNNING THE GAUNTLET OF THE BATTERIES IN APRIL, 1863

A Crowded Home Assembled to Witness a Thrilling Play—A Painful and My»terioas Silence—A Su.*pri3sl Audience on tho ISluflk.

The ovening of Thursday, April 16,1863, was moonless, starlit, placid, and balmy. Soon after dark steamers and various other bbats dropped down from Milliken's bend to Lower Landing, a place about four miles in a direct line from Vicksburg, and from which, in daylight, a most excellent view of the city and the fortifications could be obtained. On a large steamer, the Von Phu, there was a lively party, among whom were Gen. and Mrs. Grant, Gen. and Mrs. McClernand, and many other officers and their ladies, who occupied, as it were, a proscenium box in the front of the Vicksburg stage. Mrs. Grant, noticed, had improved very much, at least in dress, since I had seen her in Cairo, when she came to that point with the general. She wore then a dress of some plain stuff, with heavy calfskin shoes, while pretty lit'il-j Nellie was mainly rcmarkablo for the possession of a very brilliant pair of nankeen pantalets.

It wns a brilliant and crowded houso that assembled to witness the projected play. Some thirty boats had gathered, each of which was black with human beings. Champagne corks popped there wcro waves of laughter rolling and surging from boat to boat there were gossip, love making, songs and*choruses, stories and general hilarity as tho vast audience waited for tho rise of tho curtain. Tho sky was full of stars that looked down solemnly—the only serious spectator of the scene.

The lights twinkled from the swelling bluffs of Vicksburg until about 10 o'clock, and then gradually disappeared. Just then the song and laughter of the vast audicnce were sud denly hushed as thero appeared in the obscurity of the river a shapeless mass of black floating slowly down the stream. It disappeared, and then came another, and another, and still others, a long procession of bulky shadows, noiseless, mysterious, and drifting as if without life or volition. They seemed as if they were great masses of darkness which had detached themselves from the bank of night above and floated across the narrow vista in our front to, and disappeared in, tho night below.

Ten of these shapes glided by, and then tho procession was at an end. A silence as dumb as death fell on tho audience. The beating of hearts could be heard hero and there, and occasionally a long expiration that suggested a sob. Every eye was turned in the direction where tho pacific lights of Vicksburg had lately glimmered and disappeared. Nothing could be seen save a long, low bank of pitchy midnight lying between the foreground below and the stars above. All watched with strained vision this mass of darkness, for in its silence and gloom wo knew were thunders and lightointrs and fierce volcanoes which at any moment might illumine and shake the earth with their eruptions.

I. A PAINFUL SILENCE. The Silence, the mystery, became painful. There were some who hoped that the batteries had been passed without detection. One ingenu ventured tho opinion: "The Confederates are using air guns, and the explosions aro.noiseless!"

Speculation began to expand into breezy discussion, when, at exactly 11:15 two fierce, sharp lines of flame, as exactly .(JefUied in outlino as spears of steel, flashed througiT fte darkness from the right of the Vicksburg batteries, and a moment later the entire height and length of the bluffs were ablaze with crimson fire. At the same instant that the darkness was interrupted tho silence was shattered with the roar of guns that rocked tho earth like heavy thunders. For a full hour tho lightnings played through the darkness, and the air was rent with detonations, and then silence and tho night settled again over the sccne.

In no caso in history is there a parallel of this tremendous event. There have been others of equal grandeur, but none in which an innumerable audience assisted at the spectacle, and in which tho unfolding of the tragedy occurred in such a sublime environment of night, and with the galleries of the heavens filled with starry spectators.

I havo no reason to think that tho people of Vicksburg enjoyed the display as did the immense audience gathered at the lower landing. Several times before the Federals had sent vessels by the fortifications, and in the case of none was there any reply to tho fitvei tho batteries. Having this in mind a Jaigt element of the population turned out to witness the spattering of another Yankee hulk

them when, in place of a solitary craft flying with fearful feet belpro the wrath of the Confederate guns, the black sides of eight gun boats suddenly flamed, and a broadside from twenty monster cannon charged with grape and canister flooded tho observant bluffs.— "Poliuto" in Chicago Times.
