8 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 29, 1S9L DIGGING TO CHINA. The Government Taking Hold of the Wheeling Well, Which Is TO BE DRILLED A FDLL MILE DEEP. A Letter From the Geological Survej Bureau at Washington, LXPEESSLNG THE DEEPEST INTEREST "WiiEELrxo, April 28. The progress oe&r this city under the joint patronage of the United States Government and a num ber of enterprising citizens of Wheeling is attracting national attention, and, if suc cessful, will prove ot extraordinary interest to the scientific world. The following ex tracts from a letter received to-day from Major G. W. Powell, Chier of the United States Geological Survey, further explains the project: U.mied States Geological Sukvey, WaSULNOTOS, D. U, April 27, 1891. ( Hon. B. tcott. President of tne Wheeling De velopment Company, heeling: fell. I Lave learned from Pro J. C. White, tit the University ot West Virginia, that the jiubllc-plrltcd citizens ot Wheeling, navirn: filled of financial success in the boring of a deep m ell, hafe dedicated the well to the pur poses or science and determined that it shall become inthatwaj a success. Uot onl does this determination give me creat personal satis iactiun um it will entitle iou to the cratitnde and hih esteem of tho ceolojists and phy sicists or the orld. If the well is carried down until it reaches the corniferouslimestone it will add a tery important measurement to ecology, and will am in guiding future operations in boring for future economic purposes not only in 5 our own wcinitv, but inOuioaoilKentucky. "It ill also afford an opportunit practicali u.iique for the determination of the laws of temperature change beneath the surface of the earth. The ideal locality is one where a deep m ell penetrates undisturbed horizontal strata and does not tap veins of water. These aro the leculiar characteristics of your well, and the combination has never been realized before. I am, therefure, very desirous to secure for sci ence the best records attainable lrom obser vations of tins well, and liate detailed for the purp isc Dr. William HallocL, a trained and experienced phsicist. who will begin bis pre parator work immediately. Vouis. with respect, J. W. Powell Director." This is the well originally drilled for cil or gas, which it was recently determined to sink to the depth of at least a mile for the results which would accrue to science. To sink the well to that deptb it will be necessary to go down L,lbO feet deeper. A TEEEIBLE SUICIDE Tho Wife of a Wealthy Farmer Cats Herself to Death. TrFCTAt.

The disensson as to the cause of the Grippe s of course interesting, but elves little satis faction to its unfortunate victims. Whether caused by microbe or vagaries of the weather, its ravages contlnne and tho country still bends undr the scourge. In Chicago, recently, the deaths from this cause were o great that the undertaking facilities of the cltv were insuffi cient to meet the emergency. The death rate is correspondingly high all through the north ern and Eastern btate. It cannot be too strongly impressed on peopie that, in order to ward off the disease, warning symptoms must be regarded and prompt action taken. It becomes extremely difficult to dis lodge the diseaso if allowed to take its course. Hence Its name. It generally commences with alirht headache, or pains in the small of the back or limbs. It does not always give one even as plain a hint as this a feeling of tight ness across the forehead bnzzing in the ears, or peculiar feeling about the eyes, may be all the caution one gets, so It is culpable careless ness to neglect even these slight signs. The remedy lies in a stimulant, and the pref erence should be given to whisky. All the dor tors of the country are agreed on this point, but are very caref nl to Impress on their patients the fact that pure whisky alone must betaken. Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is the purest on the market, and can bo readily obtained at all drug stores. 1 his preparation, which is indorsed by all the leading doctors, scientists and chemists of the present day, is this year adding to the firn-class reputation which it won during ths epidemic of the Grippe last year. There are many imitators who say their whiskies are "jastas irooi." Do not be deceived. l bey are not. Duffy's Pure Malt is the only medicinal one. W WM.
