pills were in the condition Of Hauen-

A personal examination by a commit.
tee of this Board failed to discover any
evidence of the presence of vermin, in
the dormitories, bedding or bedsteads
of the institute. The pupils had gone
homo for vacation when the complaint
was received and the visit made.
Third.-'rhe third charge is proved
and admitted by rhe authorities Of the
Institute. 1t is explained to the satis-
faction ofthis Board by the fact, also
proven, that as the pupils go home on
ednesday, the trunks are packed on
the preceding Saturday or Monday, so
that one weeks wash must be sent
home with them dirty. Clothing is not
repaired at the close of the term at the
Institute.
Fourth. The fourth and general
charge is not proven by the evidence
Of the complainant, nor by the report Of
the committee Of this Board.
This Board further find that the neg
lect in this c:se Of Hauenstein, was oc-
casioned by the delegation of the duty
of cleaning the boys heads and attend
ing to their baths, to irresponsible
subordinatcs or pupils by the Assistant
Matron and Steward.
1t is proper to state that the Direc-
tors and Superintendent Of the Institute
have expressed their satisfaction that
the facts developed by the investiga-
ton have come to light. They assure
! US that no efforts of theirs shall ke
wanting to prevent repetition of this
case.
The Investigation Of the domestic
management Of the Institute, made at
the request Of the Board of Managers,
and the Superintendent satisfies this
Board that the case in question is an
exceptional one, and that with such
changes in the management as this in
vestigation has shown to be necessary,
such neglect Of duty by subordinates
cannot again occur without prompt dis
covery.
I am also instructed to report that
Supt. Eoycs has aided in every way in
this investigation. lie has had great
difficulties to contend with heretofore.
but with the present increased accom-
modations and the possibility so afford
! ed of more perfect organization, it is
the belief Of this Board that he will
bring the Institute still nearer to the
standard Of excellence, to which it is
evident he has constantly striven to at
tain.

ARTEsIAN WELLs.-The irregulaIity of the flow
in artesan wells has been studied of late by Judge
Cation who has presented paper on this subject to
the Academy of Sciences of Chicago, in which he
adduces some interesting phenomena, and very
truly states that it is necessary to explain these
phenomena in all their details in order that we shall
become able to artesian wells to irrlgate the
great arid plains of the West; and without attempt
ing profound inquiry himself, he hopes at last to
stimulate inquiry in this direction. He states that
a well sunk by him at Ottawa, Illinois at the foot
of bluff passed first through II feet OF earth, then
40 feet of sandstone then 100 feet of lime rock and
finally g. feet of POtsdam sandstone III all 55I feet
During the boring of the web through the lime
rock tho water commenced flowing over Its mouth
and every day the rate of discharge increased until
AZ the conclusion of the operation the flow was found
10 be about "a gallons per minute while IL the head
of the well raised % inches higher the How was
IS gallons per minute. After piping the well and
leading il into tank. he soon observed that the
water would sometimes only rise to the hight OF IL
inches above the floor of the tank and he be-
came satisfied that there was an rreguarity IN the
flow of the well, aud, IN consequence, he ordered
measures to be taken OF the night OF the water
three times day, which measures he presents for
consideration i'll full during the months of October
and November The average OF the former month
shows that the water stood on the average highest
at noon, while i'll the evening it was two inches
lower and in the morning inch lower still. He
is not able to establish definite period in the ow
although its rregularity is abundantly evident.

Prof. Poey, who has employed for this purpose the
thernO-electuc pile. Prof. Henry Secretary of the

apply this instrument TO a similar object; but the
results obtained by Prof. Poey appear to be more
positive and definite than any that have been hither
