An old hunter, who had lived many years In the West and other regions where hunting was part of a man's tfally living, wob telling stories recent ly to a Washington Btar reporter, and the conversation turned on dogs, after It had run to conptderablo length In other directions. "I remember," sold ths old man with a little, low, soft reminiscent snicker, "of a wolf dog that my boy Jim got off of a feller that you might call a tramp, these times. Jim had an idea lie knowed everything about dogs that was to be knowed, and when this tramp feller came along with a wiry, mean looking dog and wanted to trade hlmj fer a pint of whiskey, Jim 'lowed he was a powerful wolf dog and the tramp feller said thar wasn't a better one In the country, fer he was kred fer wolveij pertlkler, so Jim ups an4 swaps a pint of liquor fer the dog and the tramp feller gits along his Journey and Jim goes to sllckln' the dog up and glttln' him ready fer a wolf that he knowed was chasln his hogs lap In the moun tain. , "One mornln' bright and early Jim set out with the dog to give the wolf a run, and about two hours afterward, the dog had the wolk agoln llckcty split. The wolf turk 'round the p'lnt of the hill with the dog after him and Jim Mowed he could cut across tho top and pit In ahead of 'em In good time to see the dog chaw up the wolf, fer he prid ed himself on that dog and had been tellln' the whole neighborhood what a fine dog he had picked up. "Course Jim knowed dogs and he knowed that dog of hls'n would chaw the wolf up In no time, and he went over the hill chucklln'. When he got to where he thought the dog and wolf ought to pass there wasn't a sign and Jim sot down to wait. It wasn't long till a feller came along and Jim hailed him. " 'Say,' says Jim, 'you see anything of a dog chasln' a wolf anywhere's the way you come?' " 'Sorter yoller brlndle dog?' says the feller. " 'Same,' says Jim, mightily tickled. 'Had he kotched up with him?' " 'Kotch up with him?' says the fel ler. 'Well, I sh'd say he had. He was 200 yards ahead and the wolf waa run ning the tall off him. Wui It your dog?" says the feller, but Jim's heart was broke and none of us didn't dare to say 'dog' to Jim fer better'n alx months." An Underground Son. "Stories about a great subterranean lake or sea beneath Nebraska, Kansas and a part of Indian territory are going the rounds of the press," said Robert T. Hill, of the United States geological survey. "They are accompanied by de tails relating to the bottomless ponds occupying areaa where patches of land have sunk and disappeared. Other re ported phenomena supposed to be In the same conneotlon are roaring wells In which water ebbs and flows. "Such talea become current period ically. So far as the wells are concern ed, they are based on fact. I myself have seen a number of wells In which the water rose and fell at Intervals. This is not an uncommon phenomenon in parts of the west. It has a relation to changes of the barometer. When the barometer Is high, the pressure of the atmosphere being greater, the wa ter In such wells and springs stand at a low level. On the other hand, when the mercury In the glass Is low, the diminished pressure permits the water to rise. The surface level varies from day to night, for the same reason. "There are many phenomena connect ed with western wells and spring which are calculated to excite the at tention of the observer from the east. They are puzzling sometimes even to a scientific student. I have never seen a well that roared, but I know of no reason why such a thing may not hap pen. There are wells from which cur rents of air come up. Stories are told of magnetic wells. In the neighborhood of which he needle of the compass Is affected. I never saw one, and no facts appear to support this peculiar yarn. Water Is the most common substance in the world, and there Is nothing about which so much humbug exists. "The most remarkable well I have ever seen was on the old battlefield of Stone river, In Tennessee. A man dig ging for water struck an underground stream. He mado the hole big enough to hold a water wheel. The stream ran the wheel and pumped water up to the owner's house. Underground streams, of course, are common enough. They are frequent In the limestone region of Texas, In the gypsum region of New Mexico, In the Appalachian region, and In the limestone region of Iowa and Missouri. The very fact that these streams are flowing shows that they are seeking a base level, and hence it Is useless to try to tap them by artesian wells, because the water will not rise. "There Is no such thing In the world as an underground lak er sea. Never theless, such lakes have been created frequently by the Imagination of hope ful settlers In the west. The truth In this matter was established years ago by the government engineers, who, un der the direction of Col. Nettleton, Journeyed across the great plains of Kansas and Nebraska. They sounded every well they could find, studying the underground water. Of the fact that there was no underground sheet of wa ter they made certain. The wells were like any other wells, the water coming from saturated rocks below the level of surface evaporation." Pittsburg Coin merclal Gazette. - The Tailor's Mlatitke. "John!"
