JR\*5 A Windy Well. Arizona possesses some of the greatest natural wonders in the world, not the least of which is this phenoiuenou of a curreut of air issuiug from or goiug iuto the bowels of theearth through o?t.) orritioia] nnuiniKrQ auuuijy iituuiai auu mnuviw. made in the earth's crust. Sometime ago a Mr. Coufman undertook the drilling of a well at his place. Everything went well to a depth of twenty-five feet, when the drill suddenly dropped about six feet aud a strong current of air issued from the hole. The escaping air current was strong enough to blow oil'the hats of the men who were recovering the iostdrill. The well was of course, abandoned and left to blow but there are some peculiarities about it that are worthy of consideration. The air will escape from the well for days at a time with such force that pebbles the size of peas are thrown up and piled about its mouth until it looks very much like the expanded portiou of a funnel. At the same time it is accompanied by a sound much like the distant bellowing of the fog horn. This noise is continuous and eveu in quau. tity. Again for days there will be a suction current, unaccompanied by sound, in which the current of air passes into the earth with somewhat less force 1 hau it escapes, and any light object, as a feather, piece of paper or cloth, will, if held in close proximity, be immediately sucked into this subterranean .labi'rinth of aeolus. The cause of this phenomenon is unknown. It is supposed that there is an underground opening between the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, which leaves the eartn to tne ueptn 01 more mau a mile, and the Sycamore Canyon, some eighty miles to the south of it, of the pame proportions, but much shorter. This seems possible from the fact that the current of aih always passes from north to south, or vice versa, varying, of course a few points of the compass from the true meridian, but always in these general directions, as determined by experiment, and then the stratum underlying the quaternary is of volcanic cinder. This is very porous, and in many places so-called bottomless holes exist.?Popular Science. Xews About DancingTvM 1 A W51 arm nncjfnr Jl lie JLVCV. 1/1, u. V/. If of St. Andrew's Church in WestSeven ty-sixth street, took for the subject of his sermon last night "A Time to Dance." "The Bible says there is a time to dance," said he; "it also says in the same chapter that there is a time to kill. Dancing and killing are associated in the Bible, and so it is in life. The dancer often killi himself. Thousands of people are in their graves today who danced themselves to death, and thousands are physical wrecks from the same cause." Dr. Wilson then went on to say that friends of people who died from consumption little thought that in many cases this consumption was due to exposure after danciDg in a heated ballroom and going out into the air withFJ] ^1/Vlij JU1J Lovers Fine Dress Will Find in our Stor select H7 Ufttrn a? ovhthiflAn ? honnf drens"hats! dress goods."\v ERIES, GLOVES, HANDKERCHIE SILK DEP.

He; ! said that the dancer ofien kills his1 {intellect, for no man who spent his| time in dancing could increase his! store of knowledge. "Dancing often kills the moral ua-; bure also. In ancient limes men and j j women did not dance together. There j is not a single recorded instance of(1 I their having doue m> in any part of the ] I Bible. The Bible does not refer to j j square dances, lancers, polkas, and schottisches. WItile private parlor dancing may not be an evil in itself its teudeucy is dangerous. Parlor dauc| ing opens the door of temptation to thousands of boys and girls. The j tendency of the private dance is toward the public hall, as he who begins J with the social glass oftimes lands in r I the gutter. Cicero says, 'No one 1 dauces unless he is drunk or mad.' Dancing destroys physical health. It kills time and therefore dwarfs the in' tellect and sets afire the unholy nature c i\f man Thp mnrlprn danct? i.s re- ' buked by the noblest men who ever e graced this earth." e Among those Mr. Wilson mentioned J, as being opposed to daficing were j : Beecher, Spurgeon, Tennyson, Milton, ? Lougfellow, Whittier, Washington, * Webster, and Lincoln." v V v c Some Joys of Hen von. c i Do you ever read in old Jeremy Tay- v lor?
