penning this short article the
writer desires to stress two main
points in regard to this subject,
. first, the need and importance of
securing an adequate and permanent
supply, and, second, the installon
of suitable equipment for getting the
water "on •tap" in house and stables
-and about the lawns and gardens.
In regard to the supply of drinking
or hard water, it may be said that of
late many of the old shallow wells
of the Province have been failing ser-
iously, thus. indicating that the water -
table is not as high as .it used to be.
It is to be hoped that this is only a
temporary condition' and that' maiiY
of these wells will soon become ser-
viceable again. However, the shallow
well can seldom be relied upon abso-
lutely, and so as a rule it' iS wise to
sink such wells deeper. This usually
means drilling. Sometimes there is
good reason for abandoning the old
well altogether and choosing a new
site. A careful survey of the existing
wells of the district in respect _ to
depth, supply and character of the
water will usually prove useful in re-
gard to the advisability of drilling,
also a knowledge of the nature, depth
and dip of the underlying strata or
rock formation may help too: Instru-
ments, for locating underground
water, so far as our experience goes,
have not been a success in this Pro-
vince, although much is claimed for
then is some other countries differ-
ing widely from Ontario in.geological
formation. Some individuals " claim
that they can, locate underground
water by means of a forked twig from
such trees as cherry, plum, and hazel,
and because we have • known good
wells to be found in this way, and
because prominent scientists have
given the matter considerable`. atten-
tion in recent years, we are not in-
clined to pooh-pooh the idea. In
some cases old wells go dry because
the water veins feeding the well have
become clogged. If so, a charge of
dynamite in the bottom will effect a
remedy. Sometimes an old dug well
will supply -plenty of waster for all
time it it is dug a few feet deeper,
or if the formation is sandy or grav-
elly (fine) for some depth below the

to emphasize the value of a good

to the buildings it may be made to

RAINBOW SERVED AS
TREASURE SHIP
Two seemingly unrelated items ap-
peared recently ins news despatches
which recalled- an hitherto unpublish-
ed and romantic story of the war.
The, scene centred ins Vancouver, but
under censorship rules the story could
not be published at the time.
• The two items were these: A
Reuter despatch in which Mr. No-
vitsky; former assistant- to the Min-
ister of .Finance in the All -Russian
Govermnent, hinted at the huge
amount of gold which was shipped
through Vancouver during the war,
including 60,400,000 pounds from
Vladivostok. A statement of the
sale of . the obsolete Government
warship Rainbow to a Seattle firm.
Both Mr. Novitsky and the Rain-
bow'.were central figures in one of
the most interesting incidents of the
war so far as it affected Vancouver.
The firstshipment of Russian gold
amounting to about $45,000,000, ar-
rived here in February of 1916.
It was in the form of bullion encased
in boxes about fifteen inches long,
six inches wide and three or four
deep. It was loaded at Vladivostok
for transfer to the mind at Ottawa,
and came across the Pacific in a big
Japanese warship, with Novitsky in
charge of the treasure. -
The treasure warship never came
into harbor. Far out at sea .off Cape
Flattery, in a half gale, the warship
was met by the little Rainbow and
the precious freight transferred be-
tween the heaves of the rollers. The
most elaborate measures of secrecy
were observed and it was three
o'clock of a morning dark and wet,
when. the Rainbow nosed her way to
Shed One on the C. P. R. Docks
there.
- Awaiting her here were Mr. Peters
and Mr. Vickers, head of the foreign
department of the Dominion) Express
Company, who came out especially
from Montreal to superintend the
transfer of the bullion acro the
continent. A. specially selected crew
of trusted men had been warned to
be on hand for special duty and
marched down to the wharf after
midnight under special 'guards, and
without any information of their
duty or destination.
Awaiting the Rainbow was a train
of coaches disguised as a silk train
.with five special express cars. On
each of these cars was loaded $9,-
000,000 worth of gold. Four men,
armed heavily with rifles and revolv-
ers, received the cargo from the sail-
ors. Each car was then: closed, the
doers heavily barred - and guard
mounted. The guards stood equal
shifts throtighout the journey. A
telephone system connected t h e
whole train and when any of the
sentinels wished to pass to the diner
or tro any other car they did - so only
on release from the official car to the
door -keepers. These doors were never
opened when the train was at a
standstill. No -guard was permitted
to show himself at the windows in
passing through towns. The train,
at night, ran in absolute darkness,
iods. - It is very essential that the
supply be . ample and never failing,
and when this is assured steps may be
confidentially taken to install water
.;s°stems in order to have the water
convenient about the house.
The second point, namely, the dis-
tribution of the water supply, is a
very big one, and one about which a
good deal might be written. Space
will permit only the very briefest
treatment, hut but if more details are re-
quired write the Department of Agri-
culture, Toronto, Ontario, for Bul-
letin No. 267, entitled "The Farm
Water. Supply and Sewage Disposal,"
or the Department of Physics, 0. A.
College, Guelph, will gladly advise
regarding any problems received by
let ter.
(1) If the well be shallow, that is
the level of the water 'is never more
than 25 feet below the surface, or say
the level of the -pump cylinder, the
purup may be located, inside the
buildings instead of dir '' ty over the
well. Greater convenience would be
the result of such a change.
(2) A small water tank in the at-
tiof the house will In
at-
tic oke it possible
to install plumbing fixtures, as sinks,
bath and closet in the home.
(3) Better than the attic tank sys-
tem is thecompressionsystem.
A
strong steel cylindrical tank is locat-
ed in the cellar or some frost -proof
place, water is pumped into it from
well or cistern against air pressure
which forces the water to all pointe
where it is required. The pump may
be operated by hand or better by
gasoline engine, windmill, or electric
motor.
(4) If electricity be available the
compression system can be operated
automatically and the storage tank
made so sinall that the water is
drawn fresh from the well instead Qf
from a large storage tank,
(5) If a good spring exists on
ground. level - with top of house or
higher, a pipe under the frost -line be-
tween spring and house is practically
all you need in order'to have the
spring water . on tap.
(6) If not high enough for a grav-
ity system the spring may possibly be
advantageously located for installing
a hydraulic ram which will pump the
water to a tank in house or stable or
trough in yard. It is worth while
having pure and cool spring water
always on tap about the buildings.
The fall would be a good time to
put in a system so that you will not
be obliged to carry water another
winter. First be sure that your sup-
ply is ample for all requirements,
and then go ahead with the install-
ing of some suitable water system,
and do not forget that we are anxious
to help you. -R. R. Graham, 0. A.

STRANGE FATES OF
SUBMARINES
Now that the war is over, informa-
tion previously held secret is being
released,` and no doubt as time passes
we shall hear many stories of hap-
penings at sea which will surpass the
wildest flights of fiction. There is
material for a literary tatir de force
in the first combat between submar-
ines. This tools place in the summer
of 1915,.when an Austrian submarine
and an Italian submersible sighted
each other simultaneously. Both at
once dived, and began to manoeuvre
for the under -water "weather gage."
To an observer above the only sign of
this combat to the death, would have
been two periscopes, darting hither
and thither, and occasionally disap-
pearing altogether. •$uddenlly there
was a muffled explosion, followed by
a great ,upheaval of water, oil and
debris. An unlucky torpedo, probably
fired at- random, -had struck the Ital-
ian boat and blown in her hull. - Not.
long afterwards another conflict pre-
cisely similar took place, but this
time it was the Austrian that receiv-
ed the death -blow. Quite recently
the papers printed - ani amazing story
of the destruction of a German sub-
marine in the Atlantic. It appears
she had attacked a steamer, and the
explosibn3 of the torpedo blew into
the air a heavy metal -fitting, which
fell with a crash on the submarine's
deck and caused her to sink. This
story was received with incredulity,
but it may well have been true, for
a parallel case is narrated in. the semi-
official account of the Navy's ' work
in the Arctic. It appears that a
U-boat, after torpedoing a munition
ship, rose to the surface to finish her
by gunfire, but the first shell 'ex-
ploded the vessel's cargo, and a large
motor lorry on the upper deck was
hurled into the sea, falling squarely
on the U-boat and sinking her in-
stantly.

Wrist Pin Knocks. ---In attempting
to confirm a suspected wrist pin
knock, place the hand on the edge
of the bearing and connecting rod
while some one else knocks the motor
slowly by means of the starting crank
the switch being off. In, cases where
it is impossible to reach the parts
with -the, hand, short-circuit the spark
plugs- one at a time while the engine
is running slowly. This will- cause
missing and any knock will be in-
stantly audible. Of course, the one
certain way to make the test is to
remove piston and connecting rod and
make a bench test, but- the methods
suggested will save time.
Speed Wrench. -Any ordinary
speed wrench may be adapted to use
in connection with all sizes of nuts
by using it in conjunction with - a set
of sockets. - A socket is selected the
hexagon end of which fits the end of
the speed wrench. In the other end
a piece of square stock is inserted.
By this means a speed wrench is
' adapted for use with any of a whole
set of socket wrenches,
THINGS EVERY CAR OWNER
SHOULD KNOW
Use for Split Washers. -Where
crown burs . and cotter pins are not
supplied in 'motor car construction,
good, well -tempered split washers
may be placed under the heads- of
bolts to keep them from rattling
loose. -
Thermos Bottle Breakage. - The
containers of thermos bottles fre-
quently break from the jolt of the
car, particularly in riding dyer rather
rough roads, of which we have -many
this year. If the bottles are placed
with the top end downward, so that
they will not move sideways, the
breakage will be obviated.
Battery Charging, -Never allow a
naked flame to come near the stor-
age battery while it is being charged_
or immediately afterward.
Gauging Oil Level. -In cases where
the motor truck develops chronic oil-
ing trouble it is very important to
ascertain the exact level of the lubri-
cant in the case. It is a simple mat-
ter to have two gauge pet cocks in-
serted in the case, one above the
other. By this means, a positive
knowledge of the oil level may be
had, whereas any oil float is likely
to stick and give a false reading.
Spring Breakage. - Breakage of
springs on motor trucks is usually
caused by one of the following: -
Overloading, badly rusted leaves,
clips too tight, spring not properly
fastened to the axle, and because the
shackle is inoperative, due to a broken
shackle bolt or stiff shackle.
Standard Tires. -One of the potent
arguments against buying a number
of trucks of different makes is the
difference in tire sizes that is usually
involved. The 'deal condition v I ton for the
truck fleet is a singletire size for all
vehicles, and every operator ought to
guard against multiplicity of tire
sizes in his fleet.
Fuel Conservation. -Truck oper-
ators should make it an invariable
rule that engines must be stopped
when the truck is standing at the
loading platform or making an ex-
tended stop elsewhere. Unless the
drivers are watched they will keep
the engine running to avoid the trou-
ble-of
rouble-of cranking up, and in the aggre7
gate these small wastes of fuel a-
mount to a considerable item.
Old Wick is Good Scrubber. -That
old round wick from the oil stove
that your wife usually throws away
when it burns too short, if slit in half
and laid flat, makes an excellent
scrubber for the motorist to use in
working the grease and grime ut
of his hands. If kept soaking in e
cupboard in a tin with enough kero-
sene to keep it always moist, the
wick scrubber is available whenever
needed. It soon cleans dirty hands.
The old wick will stand the hardest
usage without wearing out and saves
the wife's dainty towels.
Keep Inner Tubes Soft. -A prom-
inent tire manufacturer says that an
excellent way to prevent hardening
of inner tubes when they are stored
, for the - winter is to place them in
1 hot water once a month or six weeks.
They should be immersed for just a
couple of minutes and should then be
carefully dried and plartly inflated
before being hung up agail1 This
treatment serves to keep the rubber
