Fouling of Wells.

The more insidious process i, that OF
the gradual fouling of the semi-porous
earth lying between the source of the
impurity and the drinkin"-water well.
In such cases the emulation IS quite OF
nearly constant; there is 10 opportunity
for the air to restore the iiltvrinm w
of the soil, and it becomes saturated
with impurity inch by inch, until, per-
hapS after u month or perhaps after sev-
cral years, the saturation reaches the
well; then every drop oolNe IN from
this source carries with it is atom Of
filth. While the supply of water in the
ground is corious, and while there is
more or less circulation through the
water veins the foulncss NAV be too
much diluted to do harm; but in dry
seasons, when the supply rccedcS to Il
depth of only Il few feet ut the bottom
of the well, the contribution Of drain
