The- Metropolitan
long to wait.
- - o .
Metropolitan will be opened to tbe
public on Wednesday, September lst,aud
already a great portion of its rooms are
engaged, and it$ books have been open
j'but a day or two. Some idea of its extent
qoO; it i a great Hotel, but it suggests
hotels still larger and better. Its, steam-
engine takes up baggage at the entrance,
ranee or the
and dep6sits it quickly and carefully on
the third, fourth, or any, higher floor but
guests must tug themselves up the stair
way, which is absurd and transitional.
In the next -hotels they will step into a car
on their own floor and glide quietly to the
dinging-room or to the street door. The
Mctroplitan files its Journrls from every
State in the Union; the next advance will
give its guests telegraphic dispatches from
over' point of interest, sent in manifold
to each guest who chooses to order and
to pay for them. Every step ahead indi
cates and makes plain the step that is to
follow.
When, Oh wben, will somo capitalist-
build a hotel ior the poor! The needy,
miserable Avretches who now covtcr among
filth and vermin, exposure to the elements
and the seed's of pestilence, in Cross and
Little Water streets, are paying enougb
for lodgings to secure them pure air,
cleanliness, adepuate space, and every
thing essential to comfort, if houses were
built with due regard to their wants and.
the best means of satisfying them. How
long must truth so obvious nced'to be din
ned into the public car before ever it shall
be acted upon?
Artesian Well.
We received, some time since, tbe fol
lowing interesting communication from
Alabama, which contains many interns
of interest to those who may find it im
portant to obtain a copious and constant
supply pf water by deep boring. There
is an Artesian well in this city however,
which is much deeper than any of those
mentioned in tbe following article. At
Belcher's Sugar refinery, there is. one in
progress which has now reached the depth
of 1350. feet, and will bo continued to
2500 feet unless a pure sand-stone forma
tion is previously found. St. Louis Fa
2er. Messrs. Editors , Enclosed I send you
a short accouut of tbe famous Artesian
well, recently completed on tbe plantation
of Mr. Matthews, in Dallas county, Ala.
It may prove interesting to some of your
readers who reside in the prairie parts of
Missouri, and suffer for want of springs
or running wells, who would -like to prof
it from our experience. The geological
structure of Missouri may be so different
from that of central Alabama, that the
same result may not follow from deep bor
ings; but the experiment, if it'bas never
beeu tried, certainly deserves being made.
For many years the richest portion of Al
abama was uncultivated, owing to the
complete want of water in summer months,
there being neither sap-wells ribr springs
for fifteen -ox twenty miles. At length,
a Mr. Cooper, a native of Vermont, an
ino-enious artisan and mechanic, conceiv
ed the idea of penetrating the solid crust of
the earth, in the hpe of meeting of sub
terranean wells or lakes. He invented
and patented augers and instruments for
the purpose, and at length, some twenty
years since, succcccdcd in the county, of
Marengo, at the depth of five hundred
feet in finding a stratum of sand, which
supplied a never-failing stream of water,
which rose some five feet above the level
of the ground. Ilis success and the value
of the discovery led others to go into the
business of boring for water, till now it is
a regular business, employing numbers of
men, and at a moderate compensation.
The priees paid are usually 25 cents per
foot for the first 400 feet, and 50 cents
for the next two hundred, and 75 cents a
foot for-all below ; or in regions where
wells are already abundant, they frequent
ly insure water for 8100
There are in the counties mentioned,
from eight hundred to one thousand Ar
tesian wells, varying in depth from 200
to 900 feet, from 3k to 9 inches in diam
eter, supplying from 3 to 1300 gallons
per minute, and rising from 1 to 25 feet
above tbe surface of tbe ground.
Tbe water rushes up with so great vio
lence that some wells form the most beau
tiful jets d'eau, perpetual fountains cool
ing the air and affording every comfort
and convenience that can be imagined or
devised from the sparkling element. In
most cases however, instead of being made
ornaments, in the flower grounds of tho
proprietors, they only furnish water for
stock, andjare found in the deep ravines
or low grounds, where the boring will nat
urally be shallow-lowest.
Dr. Withers, of Greensboro, Alabama,
is at present enganed in preparing an es
say on the Artesian wells of Alabama,
which promises to be very interesting to
tho geologist. He will doubtless give any
information to any gentleman in Missouri
requesting it, as to the practical details
of boring these wells, now very well
understood in this country.
jg-The Lynchburg Arirginian, states
that Mr. J. DiSkens, of Pendletou coun
ty, Ky., after some three years study,has
discovered the principle of perpetual mo
tion. Mr. V., has written on to Congress
and steps will soon be taken to apply it
to machiriary. " lie 'has been offered as
high as five hundred ' t.hons.ind. dplar- for
h3 discover)-, but will not sell it.
