Examining the Bottoms of Wells and
CistePns.


1t is not generally known, we think,
how easy matter it is to examine the
bottom of well, cistern, or pond of
water by use of u common mirror (look-
ng-glass.) When the sun is shining
brightly, hold a mirror SO that the re-
fected rays of light will fall into the
water A bright spot will be seen at
the bottom, 50 light as to show the small
est object very plainly. BY this means
we have examined the bottoms of wells
fifty to eighty feet deep, when half full
or more of water. The smallest straw,
or other small object can he perfectly
seen from the surface. In the same way,
one can examine the bottom of ponds
and rivers if the water be somewhat clear
and not agitated by winds or rapid motion.
II well or cistcrn be under cover, or
shaded by buildings, so that the sunlight
will not fall near the opening, il is only
necessary to employ two mirrors, using
one to reflect the light to the opening,
and another to send it down perpcndic-
ularly into the water Light may be
thrown fifty or hundred yards to the
precise spot desired, and then reflected
downward. We have used the mirrors
with success to reflect the light around
a field to shaded spot, and also to carry
it from south window through two
rooms, and then into cistern under the
north size Of the house. Half dozen
reflections Of the light may be made,
though each mirror diminishes the bril-
liancy Of the light. Let any one not "a
miliar with this method try it, and he
will find it not only useful, but pleas.
ing experiment. 1t will perhaps reveal
mass Of sediment at the bottom of
well, which has been little thought Of,
but which may have been fruitful
source Of disease by its decay in the wa
