WASHINGTON. Nov. a. (Special.) In a
recall psper published by tb United Statea
geological survey on "Wells and Wind
mill It) Nebraska." mention is mads ot the
Interesting phenomena of tbe breathing or
blowing Telia which are found distributed
throughout a large portion of tb state ot
Nebraska. These well are of the driven
type moftly in uia upon the plains, but
are dletlegulebed from those of ordinary
character by a remarkable and unexplained
egreaa and iagreaa of current of air which
produce distinctly audible sounds end give
tbe names variously applied to them of
breathing, algbtng, blowing er roaring
wells, accordlsg . to their character la
Jltwreot placee. The air ourrent ar
readily Ueted with the flames of candles,
or by dropping chaff or feat here into tbe
well tube. There ere periods when these
wells blow out for severs! days, and equal
period whsa their air currents are re
versed. It baa been observed that th
blowing occurs with changes of the barom
eter. Some wells are found to be most
audible when the wind la from the north
west, with a rise In wster level, but with
a cheat of wind, sir la drawn la and the
weter la obeerved ' to sink. During th
progress of a lew barometer area over one

actly coincident with the bsrometrls
changes.
The rltliens of the region hare attempted
trsny explanations of the wells. Some have
reasoned that the blowing Is probably
due to the liberation of gas produced from
petroleum, and that as petroleum Is a nat
ural distillation from great coal fields,
there must be an abundant supply of the
latter mineral beneath the surface. Fort
unes bav been staked upon this deduction
and much time consumed In fruitless
search for cosl. Other have noticed tb
change of current which aome wells show
every twelve bour., morning and evening,
and bare thought that this regular oscilla
tion wa due to a tidal Action of the aheet
water, erroneously considering the latter
as a great aubterranean lake. The phe
nomena are most frequently attributed by
scientific observers to atmospheric pres
sure, which, though probably exerting great
Influence, la not necessarily the whole
cause.
The material through which the. wells
ar driven may throw some light on their
peculiarities. In southesstern Nebraska a
layer of dense limestone about four Inches
thick lies beneath fifty to 100 feet of sub
soil. Below the limestone Is found water
bearing gravel. When the limestone cover
ing the water-bearing bedsit penetrated
water under alight pressure rises about one
foot. The water-bearing layer I very por
oua and must always contain more or less
air. As the air above and the air Inclosed
In the gravela below are alike subject to
the fluctuations of the barometer. It follow
that If the surface air is rendered less
dense the air below will pass out through
the well openings until equilibrium between
the rarer air and denser air Is established,
and the opposite effect will follow during
a period of high pressure. Still, thl ex
planation, plausible as It 1. hardly ac
counts for the force with which the air Is
expelled from some of th wells and a more
comprehensive study of the problem Is
needed to satisfactorily explsln all the
phenomena.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. Tbe board of spe

eleven Cuban children deatined for Point
Lome, C-al., to be educated and cared for
at the "farm" oi the "Universal Brother

detained on the Island and Dr. Gertrude Van

Commissioner William said today that
the case opens up an important and inter

naed to eatabllsh a precedent for tbe guid
ance of tb department In the matter of th
admission ot Cuban children for the perpose

The technic! point en which the children
will be deported, If the board so decides
will be that-they are liable t become a

BRANUY STATION, Vs.. Nov. S. Presi
dent Roosevelt passed several hours this
afternoon on the battlefield of Cedar Moun
tain and there received, from an eye wit
ness snd psrtlcipant. an account of tbe
!gbt. U wss the most Interesting event
thus far of his present trip. Tho dey wsa
perfect and the drive to the battlefield most
pleasant.
Accompanied by Messrs. Root. Cortelyou.
Dr. Rixey, Judge Grimsley and two or three
ladles, be arrived at tbe battlefield shortly
after . The party was followed by a
procession of carriages containing people
from Culpepper and the surrounding cotin- j
try. I
The presldeut traversed the road which
years ago wss the stage route between New
York and New Orleans. On arrival at the
battlefield, which Is dotted with monu
ments m irking the poalltons of tho troops
during the fight, tbe contest was explained
by Judge Qrlmsley, who Is now a member
of the bench Of this Judlc 111 circuit and
was a captain In the Sixth Virginia cav
alry and a participant in the fight.
The president, a csvslrymsn hlmrelf, was
interested psrtlculsrly In the account of
the famous "First cavalry charge." The
union and confederate cavalry met In a
depression not fsr from Cedar mountain.
While the battln did not last long and was
brought on quite unexpectedly, the losses
on both sides reached 3.20H. Mr. Roosevelt
was notably interested In a monument
erected laat August, on the anniversary of
the battle by the survivors of the Twenty
eighth New Tork infantry, which lost In
the engagement SO per cent of its men. In
cluding nearly every commissioned officer.
In the very heart of tbe field he today
held en Informal receptlou, aud waa given
shell as a memonto of his visit.
This morning tho presidential party at
tended services at the Baptist church of
Culpepper about five milea from Dr. Rlxey's
house.
The Rev. E. W. Winfrey officiated and
made a reference to the president in his
opening prsyer. but did not allude to him
In his sermon. The church wss crowded
and at the conclusion of the services Presi
dent Roosevelt cordially greeted the pastor
and many members of the congregation and
Introduced them to those who accompanied
him.
Subsequently the party lunched with S.
