This dune, the damaged pipe could be removed and replaced by good pipe. tt may be objected that the ground has been so damaged by the blasting done by the contractor that it would cave in, but surely greater utgiueering difficulties than this have been overcome. All this would mean expenditure of money, but it would be an expenditure to save from utter loss the expenditure that has already beets. tirade; It may be, However, that this sec- ond well will not be needed, or that it would not help out much if it were needed, Willis Chipman, the somewhat not- ed engineer of Toronto, in giving ad- vice as to drilling some artesian wells, said souiett;,ing' to this effect: If you drill one well and get Water, but not enough, do not .think you will get double the quantity by drilling an- other, well. The• reasoning that if one well yields a certain quantity, two wells will yield twice . that quantity; does not apply here. The two wells tap the same supply; and they can- not give more than that supply will furnish."

The auto lights seemed to confuse the animal and it kept rutt- ing on the road instead of taking to the woods. A few nights ago a lone wolf prowl- ed around the Lakeside telephone branch office of this city, which is in charge of the female night operator. She thought at first it was a dog clawing and howling outside. The night telephone operator at Police headquarters was sent out to investi- gate, \Vhen he turned the flash light on the supposed dog, a wolf bounded away in the direction of the woods, Coon Minting in Huron.

DUBLIN, Perhaps the mast busy place in Seaforth just .now is the area at the hack of the town hall where the new pumping station is being hurried to completion. The work in the pump house and in the dwelling house is carried on with Little noise but not so the work on the high tank. We may say of the high tank that it re- sembles Solomon's temple in that its parts were prepared for their respect ive places miles and miles away, while it differs from Solomon's temple in that mach hammering and riveting are needed to work those parts into it structure, whereas in the erection of the aforesaid temple, no sound of hammer or other tool was heard. By the way, Solomon is the gentleman wlto declared about three thousand years ago that there is no new thing under the sten. What would he say at the sight of some of the modern dis- coveries and inventions It would be a good idea to have Sir Conan Doyle call hint up. The men have certainly worked Well on the high tank during the cold weather. Sometimes, when the tem- perature was close to zero, the merry rat -tat of the pneumatic riveter like the Troll of a drum, could be heard all over town. Few of us envied the tank men their job even though they were np: in the world, One wonders that a lob of this kind. is left for mid- winter. But thanks to lie perseverance of these men. under trying conditions, the tank will soon' he finished, and a very important part of the water works equipment it will be. We are subject to correction. but we believe jts,dimensions are as follows: height to top of legs, 70 feet; from this point to top of tank. 20 -feet, snaking a total height of 90 feet; diameter of tank. 222 feet, with a hemispherical bottom, Which is very much better than a flat bottom-. The capacity of the tank is nearly 65 thousand imperial gallotis, and the 90 feet of elevation will give a pressure of nearly 39 Lbs. per square inch. Shakespeare says "the coarse of true love never did run smooth," and like in the course of true love, there has been a little want of smoothness in the waterworks operations at the hack of the town hall. We refer to the well at which Mr,.Hopper is work- ing. We may be sore that if the• authorities had seen the to tuhli ahead they -would not. have paid off the man who drilled it, and allowed hire to depart in peace, and certainly the little brick !,wilding would not have been erected over it. While Mr. Hopper is working like a Trojan to make the well all right, we fear his efforts will be futile. Per- haps the best: expert advice in this case would be to dig it well say 5 feet iw diameter around the pipe down to where the trouble is, which we under - THE SEAFOE TE°r MEWS visitors here last week, Miss i\tiargaret Howard is home again after visiting friends -in Brant- ford, We are pleased to state that Mr, Martin Klinkltainmer is much better after his operation, which he under- went in Detroit, - The High school pupils are having great fun these days on their open- air rink.
