Artesian Well*—The Tkaoiy of Theaw dorm. Wbcre the Water Come* Prom—It* Tern* pmtnrt Vartea In different Parts

AK ARTBfflAil WILL.

To understand the theory of these wells it must be premised that the strata composing the earth's crust are of two kinds: The one permeable to water, such as sand, gravel, chalk, etc.. the other impermeable, such as clay. Let us suppose then a basin of greater or less extent, in which the two impermeable layers AB, CD (see cut), inclose between them a permeable layer, KK. The rain water falling on the part of this layer which comes to the surface, which is called the outcrop, will filter through it and, following tbe natural fall of the ground, will collect in the hollow of the basin, whence it cannot escape, owing to the impermeable strata above and below it. If now a vertical shaft, 1, be sunk down to tbe water bearing stratum, the water, striving to regain its level, will spout out to a height which depends on the difference between the levels of the outcrop and of the point which the boring is made.

The waters which feed artesian wells often como from a distance of sixty or seventy mile*. Tho depth varies in different places. The well at Grenelle is 1,800 feet deep it give* 6CA gallons of water in a mtnute and is one of tbe deepest and most abundant which have been made. Tbe tomporature of the water in 27 deg*. C. It follow* from the law of the increase of temperature with the increasing depth below the surface of the ground (303) that, if this well were 210 feet deeper, tho water would have oil the year round a temperature of 83 dep. C., which is tbe ordinary temperature of warm baths.

In tbe accompanying Ulartratlan Is shown a new and convenient form of nail, which Is very useful for fastening piece* of wood together whero an Invisible Joint is desired which will not mar the surface.

A COWVKWUtMT rOR* Of KAIU

This nail, explains Popular 8cienoe News, is driven into the first piece of wood in tbe ordinary way, by striking upon the face, A. After tt ha* been driven doJfn to (ho second pleco of wood is placed updn the upper point and hammered down until it is in contact with tho first one. A close and firm joint is thus produced, in which no nail holes can be teen. This form of nail Is especially useful for furniture and cabinet work. but. if detired, tbe nails can be made of a sixe sufficient to fasten tbe strongest and heaviest timbers together. ________

High Temperature Produoed with Lime.

The high temperature produced during the slaking of time has been but rarely utilized, except as on agent in matters of accident, in eetting Ore to vessels and buildings. Engineering adds to these the ordinary method of the helpers to masons, who warm up the coffee for their dinner in eold weather by placing Ihe pail of coffee on a lump of lime, sprinkling on a little water, and watching it carefully to **e that it doee not boil too hard. Many years ago, before the invention of the diving bell, large wager waa made between two gentlemen iu regard to the possibility of one cooking a pudding at the bottom of the Tlmine*.

The winner had his pudding placed In the middle of a large sack of lime, lowered to the bottom of the river, and in due time pulled op, with the result of finding that tbe Conditions of the wager, in regard to the cooking of tho pudding, bad been fully carried out But of late lime bas been frequently used to remove tho fV from the ground in winter, Kid also to melt out water pipes as it tps been found that a heap of lime laid on the earth, wet slightly, and cxw«red over with blanket* and other non-conducting materials, will draw the frost out of tho ground. This is the complement of the prccew* of facilitating engineering work in quicksand by means of the fretting procerus frequently used for tucb purpose*. •.

the

World. When tbe spring which feed* a well comes from a place much higlner than that where tbe well sunk, it may happen that the water tend* to rise higfcier than tbe ground. This is tbe caw with artesian wells. These wells by the way, derive tbeir name from tbe province of Artois, where it bas long been customary to dig tham, and whence tbeir aso in other parts of Prance and Europe waa derived. It appear*, however, that at a very remote period wells of the same nature were dug in China and in Egypt.

big engine and eleven flat cars, the Canadian Pacific's first train for business, started from Sebois for Brown vilie on tlie morning of May ia It ran into a sticky, squirming mfti, which the locomotive wheels grocmd into a greasy palp that clogged the driving wheels and prevented them from getting any grip on the track. The train

standstill, and tbe conductor and engineer made an investigation. "Pooh said tbe engineer, "bugsf* They jumped aboard after a little scraping and tried to start again, bat it was no tne. The bugs were too much for them. As far as tbe eye ooold reach, the little caterpillars were in ooraplete possession of the track. The train waatn the midst of the wood*. "Cut boshes and try to sweep them off," said the conductor to the train men. All hand* tried it, but the bushes crushed the pulpy mass, and only smeared the track worse than ever. Sand waa then sprinkled on tbe rails. This enabled the engine to start, but the caterpillars soon greased the rails again and the train halted.

A nv—•"gnr was dispatched to the Seboi* station, and the situation telegraphed to the manager of the road. Ha sent an extra locomotive and a crew of helpers to the assistance of tbe beleaguered train. With a force of men scraping and sanding, with an engine to pull and another to push, the train crept through the woods at a snail's pace. And now, queerly enough, a new enemy rallied to the support of the caterpillars. A vast horde of large and ferocious mosquitoes came out of the depths of the forest and assailed the road men. Charge after charge was made at the steep grades lubricated with squeezed caterpillars. All day and long after the sun had gone down, the locomotives and men toiled to drag that train from Sebois to Brownville. The myriads of caterpillars covered the rails for eleven miles. When the train reached its destination at last it bore the most exhausted and disgusted crew ever seen in America outside of a blizzard.

How Stars Are Photographed.

The method of photographing stars It Interesting. When the photographer places in the focus of the telescope a highly sensitive photographic plate the vibration* of the rayi of light throw themselves assiduously on the plate and steadily apply to the task of shaking asunder the molecule* of silver salts is the gelatine film. Just as the wave* of ocean by incessantly beating against a shore will gradually wear away the mightiest cliffs of the toughest rock, so the innumerable millions of waves of light persistently impinging upon a single point of the plate will at length effect the necessary decomposition and so engrave the image of the star. It will be obvious that this process will be the more complete the longer the exposure is permitted, and thus wo see one of the reasons why photography form* such an admiratft method of depicting the stars.

We can give exposure* of many minutes, or of one, two, three or four hours, and all the time tho effect is being gradually accumulated. Hence It is that a star which is altogether too feeble to produce an impression upon the most acute eye, fortified by a telescope of tho utmost power, may yet bo competent when a sufficient exposure has been allowed to leave its record on the plate. Thus it is that photographs of the heavens disclose to as tho existence of stars which could never have been detected except for this cumulative method of observation that photography is competent to give. No telescope is required, a* the photographic apparatus takes the exact impression.

Fatal SnpMttltlon.

There is a superstition among the lower tjiat whoever poswtees.himyelf of a rope with which a person has been hanged or ha* hanged himself is certain to como iu for a slifceof good luck. A young woman living in the Montmartre quarter. Pari*, committed tulcide a short time ago, and a neighbor helped to cut her down, but she was dead so he consoled himself by putting a bit of th« hemp with which the deed had been done into his pocket, with the firm conviction that he would hear in a day or two that he hod come into a colossal fortune. He would be a millionaire and would devote his life to en joying himself instead of carrying bundles on his back for a few paltry franc* per diem but tho fortune did not come.

He came to America and to Louisville to seek It Perhaps It is even now on the way, but the man was impatient Then there was tbe lucky piece of rope. He would not take his eyes off it He kept it in his pocket, and in the intervals between his errands he pulled it out and meditated upou it from the for tune his thoughts at last began to dwell on suicide. The memory of the deceased girl haunted him and the other day, as his wife returned borne, she found her husband hanging in tbeir room dead, with the fatal hit of hemp in hi* pocket He had kept it by him to the last ________

A CLKTBH 8PWIOSII.

Yesterday as I was going to take a drink I found a spider in the glass. I told my teacher and she said I might let it be and she would show us something. She sent Stella after some water. Then she took a dish, filled it with water, and set the glass in the middle of it. "Now, said she, "this spider can get away without wetting its feet"

We could not think how the spider could possibly do that. We tried to guess, but she said it would neither jump nor swim. As it had no wings, of course it could not fly. It kept crawling round in the glass. Finally it came clear up to the top. Then it began to go round and round the rim of the glass. We kept watch, but it did not come across.

The teacher said it might not come for ten minutes, and that we could study our spelling with one eye, and keep tho other eye on the spider. So we began to study, and every little while we would look up at the spider.

All of a sudden Allie called out that it was across! and sure enough, there it was, running away!

We do not know just how the spider did it. But it must have spun a thread and let it float across the water till it caught the edge of the dish. Then it ran over on the suspension bridge it had made.

Animals That See Both Ways. Golden Days tells how nature has enabled some animals to see objects behind them as well as in front without turning around. In insects this is noticeably true. Approach a fly ever so carefully from behind and notice how it sees your movements.

The hare ha* this power in a marked degree. It* eyes are large, prominent and placed laterally. Its power of seeing things in the rear Is very no*! -nble in greyhound coursing, for thuu^i Ml '5 Is muto while running, tho »i-.t •feAgtft Judpo to a nicoty the exact mom-it. jSvMflfe It ho best for it to double.

Horses are another Instance. It is only necessary to wutch a horse driven Invariably without blinkers to notice this. Take, for instance, those en the horsecar lines IrfJt the driver evon attempt t» take tbe whip in hand, and if the horse Is used to the work will at once increase his pace.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Some Facts In Regard to Ksble* and Inoculation Against It. There is annually more or lees excitement in large communities, during the heated term, over the real or supposed madness of dogs, and not Infrequently a panic arises on account of some ugly bite inflicted by a suspicious onimaL Dr. John Crowell teQs in Science News that, as a rule, the terrible disease of rabies shows itself in man at a period of between fort? and sixty days after tbe reception of the bite of an infected animal. The most prominent symptoms are connected with the nervous system, which oousist in a reflex action, especially of those nerves which control the power of swallowing and respiration. The recurrence of tbe frightful spasms at every attempt at deglutition is the most awful symptom at the disease, and this is so great that the sight of any liquid, or even tbe Impulse of a current of cold air, is sufficient to induce the spasm.

The term "hydrophobia'* to tbe cause of mnch needless confusion, for hydrophobia (fear of water) does not of itself constitute rabies, for this may exist without hydrophobia. The hydrophobia is apparently due to aa affection of the general nervous system, for the hydrophobic spasm is present before the patient attempts to drink and it may be provoked by a variety of causes, like a bright light, or tbe sudden touch of some unexpected object, or the movements of the attendants, or, more especially, by the impression produced by the passage of a draught of air. This last symptom is considered one of the most Important symptoms of true rabies, as it is never absent in the reed disease, and seldom present in any of tbe other affections which are accompanied by spasms of deglu tition. The whole nervous system is in a state of super-exci tation, and the terror from the fear of attack often brings on the paroxysm with increased vehemence, and the contortions, cries, fury and hallucinations of the special senses follow each other with fearful certainty. The result is invariably fatal, and usually occurs within three days after the appearance of the disease.

According to Dr. Crowell, the general opinion of scientific men all over tbe world to that the inoculation advocated by Pasteur, the French savant, to not only an absolute protection to tbe patient against tbe outbreak of the rabio disease, but that it is free from any serious effects to the person inoculated.

An Unfounded and Dangerous Phrase. The American Analyst suggests that it would be an excellent thing if physicians "would invent some other name than heart failure for about all the deaths which occur nowadays." It finds it "difficult for any one conversant with tbe organs of the human body to understand how any human being can die without heart failure, while the causes of the failure of the heart at death may be very numerous. This might not be of serious moment were it not for the fact that hundreds of people are being nearly frightened to death by the constant use of the cause for sudden deaths, and many people who are sick, and necessarily have some heart symptoms, are kept in constant terror by reading or hearing in other ways of death after death by heart failure. It would be well if physicians who are too indolent or too ignorant to search out the disease lying back of the heart failure to consider how much harm they are doing the community, and if they cannot correct the habit, newspapers and the public should avoid giving currency to this unfounded and dangerous phrase. There are probably no more deaths from heart failure in these times than heretofore, but a new cause for death has been coined, and the nervous and timid are being severely injured by it."

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Some Hints on the Writing of a Oorrse* and Graceful Note or letter. Of all those things with which it is taken for granted every one to familiar, there to probably no item upon which there to more Ignorance than there it tn the art of polite letter writing. To tbe would beelegan* writer Harper's Bacar gives a number of useful hints, among them the following:

In the first {dace, never begin a letter simply "Mr. Jones," "Mrs. Smith follow thsne titles with a "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam.' Common courtesy demands this.

Never begin a letter to any one with "Mr. tot Mrs.) Brown, Kind Friend," or "Dear Friend." If one is on sufficiently intimate terms with another to call him friend, be (mows htm well enough to address him til tbe conventional manner as "My dear Mr. Brown." For the same reason do not use tbe phrase "Friend Mis* Mary," "Friend Mr. Robinson." This absurd fashion to rarely practiced except by those ignorant of the finer shades ,0? good and social eastern*. *z.r

Nothing to tmpHed by the *ord deaf at the opening of a letter. It is simply a form that hat been adopted for convenience sake. For a formal note, if written in tbe first person, say "My dear Mr. B." Hie dropping of tbe "my" signifies a greater degree of Intimacy.

Nothing to meant either by the wording of tin signature. "Your* truly," "Yours very truly," and even "Faithfully your*," are simply "tours de phrase" and must be simply taken for what they art worth.

Never ass abbreviations except in business correspondence and do not be economical at tbe first personal pronoun. If one takes tbe time to write a friendly letter, one should gfvelt its do dignity of lsaod *eutencea of fall length, instea* obliging jvwn wbo re ad to up el & W a slovenly nn I nr.-rra^ fal than such a note as this fr -nay-":-: vi toari «Fri-.- 4 ULu -Have :iyw win in to#* t•.* eve Wd tii:» to JKMk 9bd --5 care to ff'K- v.'in" nw office *u -a* di x'out i.

Mi Don't Irink Ioe Water.

Dr. Hammond protests against the American habit of gulping down a great quantity of ice water. He says that it induces catarrh of the stomach, which underlies a dozen other troubles, and, very possibly, cancer of the stomach. Ice used in small quantities to a valuable remedy, but any one had better swallow coals of fire than ice water. It blisters and destroys tbe membrane. Dyspepsia it a sure consequence, and it does not even Insure temporary comfort. What, then, can we do? Swallow instead an occasional crumb of ice. Reasonably cold, but not ice cold, lemonade is a convenient and wholesome drink. Better yet is the old fashioned farmer's drink of one-half milk and one-half water. This to refreshing and cooling when far from ice cold.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
