when it is 11.8041 for drinking purposes.
The reason. for this simply is that
such water is ground water, 'derived
by sweep through soil of the rain

taminated, ancl this coetamination is
sooner or later carried by menage in-
to the well. Fortunately the soil is
an excellent filtering and cleansing
agent, bat it is only able to dispose
of certain amount of contaminating
material. Such cllsposal takes time,
SO that if there is a particularly
heavy rain, the contaminating mat-

Some surface wells are so construct-
ed as to be mere surface drainage
pits; that is they are not raised
above the surrounding earth, and
hence receive the surface washing di-

Teacher Has Ineiented New Form
of Airship.
A St. Catharines despeteli sa,v-s:
A St, Catharines man named a. R.
Dalmeida., ono of the teachers at Rid-
ley College, claims to have. invented
a Practical airship. Mr. Dalmeida
has now completed his machine, and
hopes in the course of a, few days to
make his first flight by its aid. It
is constructed of light but to11g1i and
strong bamboo, and is built to re-
semble as closely ns possible the
shape of a bird. The wings, con-
structed of bamboo and silk canvas
of beautifully fine end durable texture,
are fashioned of the exact model of
a, bird's wing. Each wing hes an
area of 84 feet. They are worked by
a most ingenious but strikingly sim-
ple system of levers, which ere mov-
ed by ewasetwe of the operator's feet.
The inventor expects to haVO a trial
trip in a few days, and if everything
go..n satisfactorily he will tlien cross
to Toronto, after which he will start
on a trio to St. 3.01118 to the World's
Fair, where a prier of $100,000 is
offered for n machine that will en-
able a man to fly.
