—A despatch was received in Chi-

of Beileplain, Iowa, relating a singular
catastrophe. It appears that “‘an arte-
sian well, four inches in diameter,
burst when the depth or 180 feet had
been reached in boring, and instantly a
volume of water was forced into the
air to the distance of several hundred
feet. This gradually increased in size
and volume until a stream of water
fully sixteen inches in diameter was
formed, and the upward force of this
stream is equal to the power of powder
or dynamite.” The despatch adds:
*““The water in huge volumes is spout-
seems inexhaustible. Two gigantic
rivers have been formed by this phe.
nomenal water burst, which are running
through the town at the rate of twelve
Pefore them. Houses and lives are
threatened by this peculiar freak of
nature, and the citizens are appaled
at their impending danger, which
at present they are powerless to over-
come. Finding it impossible to avert
this damaging flood, an attempli was
made to insert sixteen-inch boiler iron
tubes into the well, but these were in-
stantly blown out and foreed high into
¢he air. Finding this plan useless, the
terrified people attempted to till up the
aperture through which this terrible
carloads of stone were emptied into the
well, but these were forced upward as
though propelled by the force of glant
powder. Bags of sand were then
well, but these, too, were hurled into
the air.”’

The Lesson of the Sea.
I stood upon the shore coe day
Casting pebbles, out of play,
Tuto the ocean broad and deep,
As they sank beyond my sight
In its waters clear and bright,
Wavelets bathed my feet,
Each pebble caused the same result,
A tiny sound, a slight tumult,
While circles formed around,
And beneath the surface bright,
Wavelets danced, though cut of sight
Homeward bound.
Eaeh circler started, bold and clear,
Pressing onward without fear,
Widening more and more,
Circling, widening, still they grew,
Until they faded from my view,
Bathing another shore.
Bo, dear child, it is in life,
The pebbles cast may pass from sight,
Pleasures and pain.
But they have caused a movement of life's
stream
Our loss or gain,
The circles widen as they flow,
fearing records God shall know
Of our life,
May we keep our record clear,
Trusting Him without one fear,
Seeking light.
