Fresh Wnter At Sen.
That copious springs of frest- water
occur in the ocean is proved by the
vktence of travelers in the Pacific
;md the West Indies, as well ns in our
owi rvuitiiern Mates. innt such
springs are probably of more frequent
occurrence than rs generally suppos
ed is argued from geological and
other evidence by Prof. C. I). Hitch
co' k, of Dartmouth Col'ege, who
writes on the subject in The Popular
Science Monthly (New York, Dec
ember) lie says:
The farts are not numerous but
are stated upon the bot lu'hnrity.
Prof. Joseph Le Conte, in his 'Geo
ogv, says that freshwater springs
irise in the reran in Ihe Hawaiian
Islands. In replv to my inquiry as
lo do' ails, lip wrote that he had not
preserved the memoranda relating
to these phenomena, and that they
had escaped his memory. INo one
can doubt, the correctness of t'.,c
statement in view of the existence of
the proved underground water.
Poworful streams discharge millions
of gallonR of water through the arti
licial openings very near the sea
shore. If not intercepted, they
must continue a eOnsiderab'e dis
tance out to sea, and npnee must
well up to the surface amid saline
billows.
"Inquiry about these springs dur
ing the wist summer in the territory
of Hawaii has resulted in the dis
covery of severrl uiion Oahu; ihere
is one off Diamond Head, a second off
Waialae. At the east end of Maui,
in Hana, there was a fortress named
Koimuke, occupied by soldiers in the
ancient times. As it win almost an
island, communication with the main
land was not feasible in the time of
siege, and for tin lack of water it
could not have been held except, for
the presence of submarine Fprinjjs
The natives would dive down to collect
water in their calabashes, which sup
plied all the wants of the garrison
Otner springs were known in the
harbor of Hana, and at low tide at.
Lahaina. Upon Hawadi I found there
were fresh-water springs oil Kawa
dahae and Punaluu. Further inquiry
would doubtless discover many other
examples."
That similar springs occur off the
coast of the Southern Unilid Slates
both in the Atlantic and the Gulf,
appears from the follow ing facts
given by Professor Hitchcock further
or:
'Sla'ements made bj residents
claim Che'existence of freshwater
springs miles .awoy from the land
opposite St. Augustine, Matanzas
and Ormond. The first of these
also mentioned by T. C. Mentlcnhall
formerly superintendent of the Unit
ed Stales Coast Survey, in a letter
to J. W. Gregory, in charge of Art
esian Wells Investigations"), Depart
ment of Agriculture.
"Mr. M. L. Fuller furnishes me
wilh the lollowing addiiional locali
ties. Dr. Mendenhall mentions the
reported occurrence of fresh vat ei
springs olT the mouth of the Missis
sippi River. In 'The Island of Cuba,
by Lieut. A. S. R-.wan and M. M.
Rani'ey (Henry Holt & Co., 18UG),
uage 18, it is stated Mat the water
is often forced by hydrostatic pres
sure to the surf ice far out at sea.
Elisee. Ri-c'.us remarked that 'in the
Jardines (east of the Isle of Pinos),
so named from the verdure clad islets
strewn like gardens amid the blue
waters, springs of fresh water bi fa
ble up from the deep, flowing pro
bably in subterranean galleries from
the mainland.,
"Mr. Fuller also adds the following
quotation from a paper by himself
upon the 'Hydrology of Cuba,' in the
Vat?r Sepply Paper No. 110, page
03: the springs issue at all altitudes,
from the higher portions of the hills
down to the lowland border, or even
at sea-level.-. . .Not all the water
comes to the surface as springs, but
some passes outward and emerges
from the sea bottom along the coast,
where in many instances the fresh
water can be seen bubbling up
through the salt water. Such springe
occur in Havana Harbor and at many
oilier points. The fresh water which
surges as copious springs on some of
the keys is probably of the same
origin, coming from the mainland
through subterranean passages in
the li,.iestonp."'
Professor Hitchcock concludes that
the necessary conditions for the oc
currence of these sub-oceanic springs
seem to be those which will permit
the ejii.jt' nee of undergi ouhd streams
(lowing toward the sea; such as will
render the boring of artesian wells
successful. He says:
"Evidently there must be strata
whether of the later fossiliferous
rocks or igneous sin ets dipping
gent I' seaward; and the springs can
not appear very far an ay from the
coast. We should, Iherelorr, look
for these phenomena ail jacent to is
land nr.d all coasts bordered by ter
tiary and basaliic rocks. They may
be seen off nearly the entire eastern
oast of the United Statesfrom
Cape Cod to the Rio Grande. Possibiy
also fresh water may be able to
ccutnulate beneath the submarine
bolt f tertiary between Nantucket
and the Great Hanks of Newfound
land. It is conceivable that they
might be utilized for the supply ol
steamship in places where the local
upply is either defective or unwhole
some .
Swept Down Hill To Death.
1 1 A R VERSTR A W ( M. Y.) Jan. 8.
A whole street with fourteen houses
in which nearly 200 persons were
sleeping, was swept over an eminence
neatly a hundred feet high, and com
nietely swallowed in a clay bank at
Ilarverstrnw late tonight. At least
sixteen iiersons are known to have
lost their lives and for a time it
seemed certain that every member
of the thirty five families in the
dwellings would be roasted aUve, for
a fierce fire started and fanned by
a heavy northeast gale, ate its way
toward the center of the village.
The flames leaped from the ruins
over togClinton street, where at 2 o'
clock tins morning three or more
house3 hod caught fire and despite
the assistance of fire apparatus
from neighboring town, it seemed
probable that Harverstraw would be
wiped tfut completely.
The banns which rose out of the
clay its formed at their crest Rock
land street, the thoroughfare whicl
slid over the embankment. On thi
street were about fourteen dwelling
houses, aside from several small
stores and brick and lumber yards
In each of the dwelling houses there
were three families, there being a
number of children in each family
At 11 o'clock tonight every light
was out, and the families had all
retired for the night. -
Suddenly, without an instant's
warning, the clay bank broke at the
lop, and a section just v ide enougl
to take in both sales oJ .r;ock.iid
street br6uh to move. First it was
like the movement of a distant earth
quake and the buildings merely
quivered. In a second the loosening
section of bank b gan to gather
moment urn, and then with a terrific
roar, it began to move with the
rapidity of lightning, while the houses
ivith a frightful grinding sound were
crushed like houses of cards.
Not a living being in any of the
houses had a second to realize what
wss happening, and it is probable
that most of them continued to sl'.'ep
until the five hundred fool section ef
the street had almost reached the
bottom of the clay pit. The awful
noise of the breaking bank.' however,
was sufficient to rouse most of the
village, and within a few moments
hundreds of persons, some of them
only half dressed, ran from their
homes down to the edge of the yawn
ing precipice. Below they saw the
ruin of houses from which the flames
were already beginning to curl.
Rescuing parties were at once
formed and the wrecked houses were
reached from below. Scores of men
and women were dragged out of what
remained of tho dwellings. The re
scued men at once joined in the work
of salvation, while the flames, which
increased with great rapidity, were
soon eating all over the ruins.
The insuflicient fire force of Haver-straw-
began lo play streams on the
blaze, but with little effect, and when
most of those who had been in the
dwellings were rescued it was found
that three families were still under
the debris, dead beyond all doubt. '
The local Are force was at once
seen to be ent'yely inadequate and
appeals were sent by telephone to all
the neighboring towns for fire ap
paratus, which was sent hurrying
over the snow-covered roads, arriv
ing at a time when the" blaze had
spread from the ruins and was
sweeping onward in the faco of a
norlheastr gale toward the heart of
Haverstraw.
Rockland street, which is built on
thu edge of the clay pieclpice which
varies in height from sixty to a
hundred feet, was completely wiped
out, and the lire jumped to Clinton
street.

Wants Actress To Change
Name.
Mrs. James Brown Potter of New
Yerk, who was Miss Mary Handly
of Baltimore, is apparently annoyed
by the fact that her husband's first
wife, the actress, still calls herself
Mrs. James Brown Potter.
A few day ago a New York attor
ney called on Mrs. James Brown
Potter's attorneys and said that he
had come from New York to see
him in behalf of tho present wife of
Mrs. James Brown- Potter, who
wished to know if Mrs. Cora Urqu
hart Brown Potter could not be
p rsuaded to uso some other name
in order to oblige Mrs. Brown Potter
of New York, as the actress and the
New York women are constantly
mixed In the imiginations of Ignorant
persons. ,
The actress' attorneys pointed out
that her name was practically hot;
trademark 'and brought her the
income on which sre lived. They
said to the attorney for Brown Pot
ter' s present wife: "If you want to
buy her trademark you must pay
for it. Mrs. Brown Potter wilt not
call herself Mrs. Cora Jones, or Miss
Cora Urquhart,or any other undis
tinguished title unless she be paid
2')0,000 in cash."
So far as learned the actress'
trademark Las notyet been purchas
