SAVAGE ExpED1ENT TO OBTAIN WATEF

SAVAGE ExpEDIENT TO OBTAIN WATER.
Livingstone the African traveller. des-
cribes an ingenious methed by which the
Africans obtain water in the desert. The
women tie a bunch of grass to one end of
a Tsed about two feet long, and insert it in
a hole dug as deep as the arm will reach,
then ram down the wet sand firmly around
it. Applying the mouth tostha free end
of the reed they form vacuum in the grass
beneath, in which the water collects, and
in short time rises to the mouth. 1t will
be seen that simple, but truly philosophical
and effeetual methed, might have been ap-
piled in many eases in different countries,
where water was greatly needed, to the
saving of life. 1t seems wonderful that 1t
should have now been first known to the
world, and that it should have been habit
ually practised in Africa, probably for cen
turtles. It seems worthy Of being particu-
larly noticed. that it may no longer be neg
leeted from ignorance. 1t may be highly
important to travellers in our deserts and
prairies. in some parts of which water is
known to exist below the surface.

from the Fort, to breach the walls, and
commenced firing at midnight for that
purpose with Parrott and James guns.
On the morning of the 11th, two
breaches were discovered on the sou tn
east face of the fort, which at noon as
sumed huge proportions, and about two
o clock the rebel rag was hanled down,
and the white flag displayed, and the
