“Starks about a great subterranean
lake or sea beneath Nebraska. Kansas and
a. part of' Indian 'i‘errinn-y are going the
round! of the pres,” said Robert T. Hill
of the United Stutns geological snrvoy.
“They am accompanied by dutnils relating
to the bottomless ponds ot-cupyiug areas
where patches of land have sunk and dis-
appeared. Other l‘l‘pm‘iull plwnonwna sup—

roaring wells, in which watirr clips and
flows.
“Such tales become» current pariodically.
' So far as the Wills nro mincernud. they are
based on fact. I myself have seen a mim—
l bar of wells in whiph thewrgcr rose and
~ fell at intervals. This is not an uncom-
mon phenomenon in parts of the Wi‘h‘l. It
has a relation to changes of tho baronwtor.
When the barometer is high. the pressure
of the atmosphere beinggrmter. the mum
in such wells and springs stands at; a low
‘ level. On tho other hand, when the mar-
cnry in the glass is low. the diminished”
pressure permits the wntpr to rise. Tim
surface level varies from day to night; {or
the same reasoii.
”There are many phenomena ro’nnectod
with western wells and springs which am
calculated to omit» the attention of the
observer from the east. They are puzzling
sometimes even to a scientific rtndont. I
have never seen a well that roared, but I
know of no reason why such a thing may
not happen. There are wells from which
currents of air come up. Stories are trild
o! magnetic wells, in the neighborhmd of
which the needle of the compass is atloet-
ed. I never saw one. and no facts appear
to support this peculiar yarn. Water is
the moat common substance in the World.
and then in nothing about which so much
' humbuz exists. ‘ .
“The most remarkable well I have ever
seen w’u On the old battlefield of Stone
' River in Tennessee. A man digging for
water struck an underground 8mm”). H9

limestono region of Texas. in the gypsum'
region of New Mexico, In the Appalachian
region and in the limestone n-gion of Iowa
and Missouri. Thn‘very fact that those
streams are flowing shown that they are
making a base lavol and hence it is useless
to try and tap them by artosiinn wells. be-
cause the water will not rise.
"Then is no such thing in the: world as
an underground lake nr'nea. Nevarthalms
such lakes have barn rreatrd frequently
by the lmnginntionpt. hopeful settlnrs in
the west. The truth in this mortar was
established years ago by the government
