STRANGE MINNESOTA WELLS
Water in Them Raises and Falls With
Daily Variations
Some of the wells near Winnebago,
in Minnesota, show slight daily var
iations in level. The water frequent
ly stands lowest at about 10 o’clock
in the morning, when the barometric
pressure is usually greatest, and high
est at about 4 o'clock in the after
noon when the pressure is likely to
be least.
oqi ipieui suo;}Btwu[j aoiearS ([t^g
passages of storms, for the water
rises materially with the decrease in
pressure as they approach, and sub
side on the return of fair weather
and a high barometer. One artesian
well that is 470 feet deep and ends
ii sand stone, flows, it is said, 25
per cent, more when the wind is
northeast —that is, during storms—
than it does ordinarily.
On the approach of storms the us
ually clear water in some of the wells
of southern Minnesota becomes cloudy
or milky; in others it becomes bright
yellow or deep red. Among the wells
the water of which becomes milky
before storms are some in a section
of Scott County; 'he wells the water
of which becomes most discolored are
in the vicinity of Waterville, in
Lescueur County. The milkiness is
owing to silt or clay; the yellow and
red particles are thought to be due
to fine particles of iron oxide.
