A FREAKISH WELL There is a freak well on the Political Announcements B. E. Callison farm on American ridge that has caused much in- terest in years gone by. It was bored about 12 years ago and is 350 feet deep. It is located near the house, which is on the highest point of American ridge. Just before a storm the well will begin to suck air. A handful of chaff thrown over the mouth of the well will be drawn down immediately. As the storm ap- pr ‘oaches the well begins to blow the air out and du: ring a severe storm the rush of air can be heard fifty yards away. One day during a heavy rain storm some boys made willow whistles and held over the well. Mr, Callison said the well was blowing hard enough to blow the whistles. The first of the week the weather was looking rather gloomy for those who had their wheat in the shock. Some had expressed it as their opinion that we were in for a week’s rain. Ben Callison made light of these prophesies. He said the well was perfectly quiet so there was no chance for a rain in the near future. His prediction, or rather, that of the well, was carried out as the beautiful weather follow- ing testified. A well similar to this one was bored near Kansas City a few days ago and the Kansas City papers devoted considerable space to it. Mr. Callison thinks the well is an ideal barometer. During the 12 years since it was bored it has always had the weather dop- ed out right. It is also the source of an apparently unlimit- ed water supply. A twelve-foot steel windmill pumping all day will not pump it dry.—Kendrick Gazette. SOME PICKERS. The three champion — huckle- berry pickers so far reported are Susie B. Corbett, Rosie and Lucy Smith. The three girls went} the other side of Grangeville and picked 24 gallons of huckleber- ries in one day. They were ac- companied by a little eirl who also. picked a gallon. Some huckleberry pickers, we would say.—Stites Enterprise. A most convincing argument in favor of Tip Top is the in- creasing list of prominent users whose satisfaction is our best ad- vertisement. 35-tf Let us do your job work. FOR REPRESENTATIVE.

WORLD’S LARGEST UNCUT GEM “Black Opal,” Found tn Nevada in 1917, Was a Quarter the Size of @ Brick. dnmene What is believed to be the largest uncut gem in the world has come to light in a recently opened mining dis- trict in Nevada, where it was discov- ered In the spring of 1917, The stone is a “black opal,” so-called because dark tones predominate In It. It shows mostly dark peacock blues and emerald greens, with a considerable amount of red, and several less promi- nent shades, In size this great gem approaches a quarter of an ordinary brick, being three and fifteen-sixteenths inches In length, three and one-elghth In width, and two and one-eighth thick at the bulkiest point. Its weight is elghteen and six-tenths avolrdupois ounces, which expressed in gem diction ts 8,186 grains, or 2,566.56 carats. More than a pound of opal is surely some stone! And it ts all solid, uncracked, flawless gem material, free from matrix or adhering rock except for a paper thin skin encrusting the two major surfaces. Little specks broken from this skin here and there reveal the brilliant play of colors within, while the exposed ends and edge ex- hibit the full refracting radiance of the mass, This stone 1s about half again as large as the largest of the noted gems of the world. The Cullinan diamond was roughly the size and shape of a small fist, and, if It had been ap opal, would have weighed but 1,720 carats. It is compared with the new opal on this basis since the specific gravity of the diamond is 75 per cent greater than that of the opal.—Archle Rice ta the Sclentifie American.
