mentors Wells. 7 _
. Wells may be either shallow, deep, or
'Artesian. Shallow and ' deep wells: are
those which are sunk through a permeable
. stratum and form, as it were, reservoirs into
whichIthe .laiid‘spi-i‘ngs may filter and ac-
1 cumulate; ~whilst~ the Artesian wells are _

(named Artesian from' the ancient. province
of Artois in. France, where - they were early

great depth. The crust of the earthéconé

ers like clay, impervious. i . - -
Artcslan wells form, as it were, artificial
out-lets for the watér contained in the low-'
er parts of the basin, and the water line in
them will therefore depend upon the 'hy-
drastatiai pressure existing upon the water
in the lower parts; or in other words,,‘upon
. the head provided by the level of=thej sup-
: _ ': plying ground,which‘ may come;Ifrom the
surfboe'of lofty hills miles “away “from the
well. The conditions of success of ab Ar-
.tesian boring depend upon the perfection
and regularity of the basin filled bythe
water beefing stratum so far as the' more re-,
tention of the water in the latter is concern-
ed ;»and upon the levelIof the streams: flow-A

‘ "quantity is'.far' from being'”unlimiled is
proved by what has occurredat London,
Tours, Milan, and many places in: the Uni-
, tIedIStates, where a great number of 3wells
have been sunk into a water heating: stra-
tum of small capacity. But there are 'se'v-I
eraIlIcurions physical conditions connected

' ' which all strainers exposed,-which'are and

~I<‘is'oning‘ with respect to the yield of wells of
this description: Asan example we read,

the valley. of the Loire where the’average
depth of the wells was about 500 feet, while
in one case the boring was discontinued afi
-ter having been carried through the ordi-
nary water bearing stratum to a depth of
' 628 feet, and in a second case after having
been carried to a depth of 554 feet without
meeting with a supply.
. A . well of this kind was sunk ’ in.
Louisville. Ky, in 1857—8 to thei great
deplh of 8,055 feet; (Dupont’s well) which
delivers through a bore of 13 inches in di-
ametre over-£00,000 gallons of sulphurated

17° .F. (82% at, the bottom.) Belchcr's

Itity of- water to be obtained from .an Arte-
qian well, as it is to predicate the success of
. the attempt to find water by that means.
' Even. under the most favorable circumf
cumstances these wells‘do .01 yield very-4
:large quantities of wager, and the Grenelle
well which, its-was: said before, pours forth
300,000 gallons per day as an average flow.
This is lhe.amount given by Professor Sili-
man.- English authority states that when.

sary to remark-that they do occasionally
become choked) it' has been known to yield
800,000-_ gallons.- per day for a short
period. . . Bbt' in consequence ' of the
. increase ' of temperature in proportion to
the depth :of‘these wells,'anotherI.serious

The mean depth on the overflow for 18

“lei was 6,944 cubic feet, which would be
equal Ito 62,800,000 in 26‘ hours. During
this time the waste gate was wide open,
and from the same authority it would ap-

would amount to about 172,000,000 gallons

wonder is that more deaths do notoocnr

that most of the worst forms of fevers, dysen-

nature,'are generated by; theseI'yery infiu-I
ences, and that numerous others of the
aches and ills to which. we'are subject, arise

of human beings are crowded together, and

violent nature, is sure to follow the use of.
water contaminated from similar causes.
These facts show the influence of these sub-

ertaiuly it behoiwes every sensible person

"to avoid them 'in every manner possible.

Colonel Nathaniel J. Cooling—better
known as Cool Nat—of Coolington, San
Joaquin county,-in- the State of California,
was a fellow passenger of mine on that
trans-Atlantic steamship, the Mongolia,
famous alike for the rapidity of her ocean
voyages, the‘ absence of napkins at meal
times, and the bluff heartiness of her ex-
cellentoommsndcr. As is, or rather was,
invariably the ease, the Magnolia had rc-
Icsived a very good “send oil," the friends of
‘ the‘passengcrs mastering ln'grea't strenglh,
and accompanying their heartijisbes for
a swift passssge, quick return, and a “good
time” generally, with a brisk consumption
of the sparkling fluid which flows with such
unfililing liberality‘on the other side of the
Atlsnlic. Busy as I was in pledging my
numerousll-iends, I yet found a moment to
steal a glance .at my room-mate-ibe

known. Those who .loved "him best and
obeyed that excellent law, "Speak well of

slave trade, while those who were actuated
by higher principles. that is, Thated . or
envied thesuccessful speculators, declared
that a shOrt but brilliant career: of piracy

All that was certainly known was that the
colonel turned up in California during the
first symptoms of the . gold fever, and that
. his. speculations in mining and other opera-
tions had been attended with solid success. .
Where he was “raised," remained a deep
mystery, for the colonel, although very
communicative on all bubject's relating to
his residence in California, maintained a
severe reticence as .to his happy boyhood
and probably stormy youth. Neither his-
appe’aranceinor his speech betrayed his
supposed nautical antecedents, nor did his
ollline betray the'nume‘rous angles that
the American physique is I often credited
with ;.he was a plump, broad shouldered
man, the said broad ghoulders being surf!
mounted bye bullet head covered with a
closeoutcropofstifi'black hair. His face,
with the exception ‘of the upper lip, was
clean shaven, and his general expression
was one of bank bouhommie. There were
moments, hgwever, when a singular ex-
pression flashed iroin‘his fine dark eyes
and on these rare occasions it was not
diflcult for persons of an imaginative turn
pf—mind to conjure up a scene in the summer
seas oiIthe Indian archipelago with a acute
tied ship slowly settling‘down in the dark
blue water and-a rakish-lookiug crattIalmost

Colonel Cooling rejoiced in a velvet coat.
and a loose necktie of sanguine: hue, but it
was impossible to enjoy his society for any
length of time without observing-”the. in

large but well shaped hand..‘ This w not I

“Now thought-I, is my opportunity, so,
after sympathizin’ with him, I raked up the
diamond subject agin. He did not like the
idea at ull,’at first, and kicked and covorted
like a vicious mustang. but at last, refiectin'
that his debts of honor must be met, he
caved in End parted with the diamond:
alter kissin’ it again and again, with tears
in his eyes, for ten thousand dollars cash,
'on my promising. that if ever I should want
to part with the stone, I. would give him
the option of rel-purchasing it at -thc same
price,-addin’ seven per cent. interest for the
time I had laid out of my money. I
must own that I felt pretty‘hunky over my
bargain, and, promising myselt great
pleasure in New York and also in Europe
out of my big diamond, got pretty high, and
proposed. a game of euchre to my compan-
ions, just to while away the time. I have
played all sorts of games in my time in all
sorts of company, but that game of euchre
was a caution. It seemed square enough
even to me,.bnt the cards certainly ran agin
me in the queerest way. So, ‘ailer' losing
quite a pile, I thought it time to give over
and went to bed, thinkin’ that after all my
diamond was some consolation._- But when,
next,'morning,my friends did not drop in
to .breakikst, as they promised, I began to
feel myself weskenin’ on the business alto-
gether, aud'made tracks for a greatlapidary
down town. After examinin’I the gem, he
told me coolly that it was about the best
bogus diamond he had ever seen, but that
a sham it was, and nomistake. You sir
may imagine my feelin’s, not so much at
losing ten thousand dollars on the diamond,
and a heap at play attbat, as ntItheIthought

gobbled by a couple of New York dead-

had laid thefoundation othisgreat fortune. beats- I guess my lansuass ‘unr pretty .

heavy when,just as I had missed- all the
wool off my new overcoat, an idee knocked
up agin my brain and struck in at once. I
inquired where the greatest IIjeweller and
diamondimercbant‘in the city. kept, and
after showing him my bogus gem, and
swearing him to secrecy, asked if he could
find me a real diamond like it.

“He told me he-IonuldI do his level best
to match it, and did sojvithiu three hours,
charging me 12,000 for the'stone. IIthen

silent, and seemed kinder wrapped up in
my ring. But they wouldn’t let me alone,
and presently got up a». bet among: them-
selves about their rings, and pitched upon"
me as umpire, for-said one of’em. Guess the

strange gentleman as wears the Kohid-noor

this I pretended to‘rile right up, and swore
that I bought the ring of a perfect gentle-
man, and had had no end of trouble to buy
it at all. The polite man stifi'ened up his
back at that, made some remarks on gentil-
ity in general, and wound up by offering to
bet a thousand dollars that my; diamond
.Was bogus, to put up the money right away,
and leave the matter to; be decided by. any
jeweller named by the preprietor of the
hotel. ‘~"Theu I felt .that I 'had smick a

‘Lookec bore,- sir,-bcts' of a thousand dollars
is good enough for a small game, but when
my word is questioned, and my property.is
run dov‘vn,I put down my whole pile, and
I will back my diamond with my bottom
dollar,’ They kept their faces very well,
but I could see their eyes Igljsten, and I
knew that I had ’em safe. One said ‘he
could not put up much just then, but he
could find eight thousand in half an hour,
and would stake itwith pleasure against
mine.’ Then another struck ‘ in, and
thought.” I didn’t look satisfied with such
alittle bet,‘ he would back his friend’s
opinion for five thousand.’ and as I still
kept on ‘sayin’ I was nor goin’ to show my
IdiamondIexIcept for a bet of twenty thou-
sand dollars, they ' scraped ’up‘ abdut
eighteen thousand among them, I covered
the money, and handed it over, with the
ring and'a written memorandum, to the
proprietor. A lapidury was named, called
tn,an‘d decided at. once that the diamoud
was'genuine. Quite a considerable scene
took place, and the swindlers'insisted on
'callin’ in another-I witness, and I nearly
busted myself with laughin’ when they
namedthe very manII bought the stone of.
When he'saw Ithe stoneghisIface. was a
study; but he never let on that he had seen
it before, and "said only that it was perhaps
“the finest diamand’ he had ever seen in a
ring,” bowed to the company, and walked
ofi’. - ...Todomy rascals justice, they showed
grit, drank the champagne 1 treated them
to, and walked off coolly enough. But
the best part of the joke is to come. I

The story of my big bet semehow got
Iétround, and all sorts Iof versions got into
the papers . I was interviewed pretty
heavily by reporters, and Colonel Nathaniel
J. Cooling, of San Joaquin, was credited
withowning the biggest diamond in New
York, whenwa should walk into the
hotel but my original friend and his friend:
The cusses evidently believed that by some
unheard of chance theth purchased a
real instead ofa bogus diamond. and they
were no doubt raging in their innard's to
think that they hadn’tsold me in the first
instance, and had put the gang in the hole
for eighteen thousand dollars. But the
stone was now celebrated, and they began
tryin' t-o'work'on me to let ’em have it
back for ten. thousand dollars, as I had
.made such a good speoul 'ou in bets. The
original proprietor said Was in fitnds
agin' and ‘cbuldn’t sleep for thinkin’ of his
mother’s ring. ~ Ofcourse he wanted it back
to'seli otIa big profit, andrecoup the gang
is bit. I'declined.to Sell,:antl kept him 03
and on'till'I was ready'to start, and told
nim I niu'st wear the ring till I was aboard
’attip,'when,'if he would pay down the
honey in geld, he could have his ring agin.
You guess what I did? No? Why the
lay before we sailed I had the real diamond
set in the ring you see on my hand, and

'A‘lse Depth of the Ocnan. ‘

The ocean is not a “bottomless deep,” ex-
cept to. the poets, and to young ladies,
neither of whom ' are familiar with the
modern improvements in taking soundings.
Not only have skillful seamen known how
to reach the bottom and fetch parts of it up
to the top from great depths, but mathema-
ticians have given themselvts theItrouble to
calculate, theoretically, its average depth.
Bufi‘on gave this at 240 fathoms, or 1440
feet; Lacaille gives from 164 to 273 fathoms;
Laplace, erroneously Iestimatiutho mean
elevation of the land at 82801 feet—three

geographers—thought the waters of the sea

signed a depth of 2735 firthbms to the At-
lantic, anthbout 8800 fathoms to the great
South Sea. According to this estimate,
other mathematicians add, the Pacific must
be at its deepest point fifteen and ahalfmiles
in depth, which is scarcely probable. But
though little is known of thogreatest depths
of the oceans, we do not know that their
bottom are ofunequin depth, and that they
contain mountains_as;well_ asI vast rolling
plains; and-IMr. Beclus takes advantage of
such soundings as'have been made to illus-
strate‘in'a striking manner'tho inequalities
of the bottom- “Ilj’rhe‘remarksytbe waters
of the Mediterranean were suddenly lowered

tbreedistinct sheets" of water ;' Italy would
be joined to Sicily, Sicily would be united
by an isthmus to Africawe Dardanelles and
the Bosphorus would‘ be‘closed, but the out-
let of Gibraltar would‘remain in free com-
munication with the Atlantic Ocean. ' If the
level were loitered by aboutviilio iathoms,
the Egeandhe Euxine; and the-Adriatic
would wholly disappear, or only leave in
their bedsunlmportant pools; the remainder
of theIMediterranean would be divided into
several seasIlike the Caspian, either isolated,
or communicating with each other by nar-'
row channels, and Itheierminal promontory
ofEurope would be - joined by the isthmus
of Gibraltar to the mountains of Africa. A
depression of about 1106 fathoms- would
leave nothing but three iulandlake‘; to the
west, a triangular .baslnl occupying the

extending from Crete.to Sicily; and east-
ward,%hollow lying in front of the-Egyp:
tian coast. The greatest depth of the Med-
iterranean, exceeding 2200 fathoms,lies to.
the north of the Syrtcs, almost in the geo-
metrical center of the basin.” » »

the sea, atIanI inclination of. about eight de-
grees, descends gradually from 110 fathoms
to 1640 and 2187 fathoms below the waves.
Atall in its level of. 1004 ,i‘athoms would
diminish the width of' the Atlantic more
than half, would leave the Gulf of Mexico
completely dry, and leavebnly an elongated
lake in, the central part Of' the Caribbean

nearly nine miles deep, or so 4699.. that two
of the highest mountains odpurglobemight
be piled one on top of lb". other, and sunk
into it, and yet scarely‘“ emerge above the
surface. The depth of. the Pacific has not
only been ascertained by” numerous sound-
ings, but Professor Franklin Bache . calcu-
lated, from the rapidity with which the
great tidal wave accompanying the earth-
quake of1854 in Japan creased the ocean to
California, that the Pacific has, between the
shores of Japan and theUnited States, a
mean» depth of about 2842 'fathoms.

The highest part of the' continents raised
above the surface or the waters is of much
less elevation than the depth of the sea ; and
we can estimate the land above the level of
the sea at Only aboufa fortieth part of the

From the field at battle red

0f the army of Amuratlt.

In the darknessof the night I

Of that mighty Othmsn host,
With his routed Turks, takes flight
From the battlefought and lost
On the day of-Pentecost ;- *

But he caredInot for Hespodars,
Nor for the Baron or Voiv'ode' '
As on thrOugh the night he rode.
And’gazed at the fatal stars

That were shining overhead; ,
But smote his steed with his 'stsl,
And. smiled 'to'ntin'set’t and said =‘
“This is the time to laugh.”

In the middle'of the night, I‘

In a halt of the hurrying flight,
There came a scribe of the King
Wearing this aegis ring, f ‘ '
And said in a voice severe:
"This is the first dark blot

On thy n'amcGeorge Castriotl
Alas! why art thou here _
And the unity of Amnratn slain
And lelt on the battle plain 1’!

And Iskander answered and laid :
“They lie on the bloody sod '
By the boots of horses trod;
But this was the decree '
Of- the watchers overhead;
For the war belongsth to God;
'And-in battle who are we,
Who are we,»tha't shall withstand
The wind or'hii‘tinejdjhaae P"

Then he bade their bind with chains .
This man of books and brains;

And the scribe said: ‘fIWIlIsIt misdeed
Ilave'I done, that. without need,
Thou dost to me this thing!"

And Iskander unasscriug

Said unto him: “Not one -
Nisdeed to me hastvthou done;

But for fear that thou. shouldstI run
And hide thyself lions me,‘ '-

I have done thisvnnto thee.

“Now write me a writing, 0 Scribe, .
And a blessing be on thy tribe!

The city mooted and walled,

That he surrender the same

For what is writ in his name

And the.scribe bowed low in dine.

: And unto Iskande'r'saidr

And wrote in the fitfuIl-glare ‘

On his foreheadwhite and base,
»And-' the chill of death in his heart.

Then again Iskander cried :
“Now follow whither I ride,
“For here-thou must not stay.
Thou shalt be as my Ideareetj friend,
And honors without end
Shall surround thee on every side,
And attend thee night and day.”
But the sullen scribe replied:
“Our pathways here divide ;
Mine leadeth not thy way."

And even as he spoke
Fell a sudden scimitas- stroke,
' When ‘no one else was near;
Anti the Scribe sank to the‘grclld.
.As astone pushed from thebrilk
Of a black pool, might sink
With a sob and disagrees; .
Amino one saw the deed; .
And in .the stillness around .
No sound was heard but the sound

V _ Of the booth ‘of'IskaInder’s steed,
, As forward'I'h‘e sprang with a bound.

Then tot-Innis rendered ehr.
With scarce three hundred men,
Through river and forestand fest,
O’er the mountainIof Argentsr :
And his heart was merry within
When he crossed the river Drill.
And saw in the gleam of the morn
The White castle Ak-Hlsssr,
The city Croia called, . '

The city married and walled,
The city where he was born,- '
And'above it the morning star.

Then his trumpeters in the VIII

On their silver bugles blew,

And in crowds about him-ran

Albanian and Turkoman,

That the sound together drew,

And he feasted with his friends,

And when they were warm with wine,

He said :--*‘O friends of mine,

Behold what fortune sends,

And what the tales design!

King Amurath commands

That my father’s wide domain, .
, This” city and all its lands,

, Shall be given to me againl

Then to the Castle White
He rode in regal state, .
And entered last the gate
In all his arms bedight,
And. gav‘o'to thePasha

The writing of theKin'g, .
