They are driven wells which, after descend ing through from 50 to 100 feet of subsoil, penetrate a layer of dense limestone, about four inches thick, Which rests upon the water-bearin- g gravel. Whenever an area of low barometer passes across the country the breathing wells sigh and roar with a noise audible, sometimes, at a distance of several rods. They blow outward for several days, and then the current is reversed and the air is drawn In, the changes always following fluctuations of the barometer. One explanation offered is that the porous gravel underneath the limestone layer contains air, whose pressure fluctuates In sympathy with that of the air above ground.

According to a French scientist, flowers are endowed with passions like human beings, and there are few among them which cannot love and hate fervently. They have their sympathies and antipathies, he explains, and if we study them closely- we can easily find them out Roses are passionately fond of some flowers, and flourish r when near them. Od hand, they speedily wither when placed near other flowers, and we must infer that It is because the latter are not congenial to them.
