✦ Synopsis

The artesian well in Pesth is one of the deepest borings of modern times. It has already reached a depth of 951 metres, while the Parisian well, at Passy, is only 547 metres deep. The water is pure as crystal, rich in calcium and baryta, having a temperature of 37 ° C., and flowing 6040 hectolitres per day. It is intended to sink the well until the water reaches a temperature of 65 °, and flows in sufficient quantity to supply the baths and the city offices with hot water.--Berg-u. J[tuett Zeit.
