There is a wary wire, wire-pulling swell,
Who put up a job at the Highwayan HOTEL
On a lot of guests, who could not tell
That a trip 10 Washington was the sell
OF this Hairless wire-pulling swell.
There is 4 chap who went to the poll,
Wanting TO play a Government roll;
But circumstances beyond his CONTROL
Put HIM into a very small holl
From which he comes out with a face of Doll.
There is a guy who thinks lie is sum
Pumpkins, and that he can hum
And play Il polite banjo and drum
But it's only too plain he cannot cum
1t, but he can Thrum.
There's a praying brother that W @llly grones,
The Ountry's gone up with extras CANT ZONES,
And that coronation-he feels in his bones
That he can't get right, as he candidlv ones
Till the Portighee bill is gobbled by Jones.

I'VE cheerfully give place to the above letter
American; as many of his Hawaiian born cousins
here make such an assertion of their American
ism; and whilst asserting their right to privileges
under one flag would claim the protection of
another. We are glad therefore to receive and
publish this outspoken expression of patriotic
feeling, so much in contrast with what we have
lately been treated to from certain quarters; and
we sympathiZe with our correspondent in his
remarks as to recognition due, and not accord
ed 10 Hawaiians like himself.-ED. P. c. A

Water Supply.

Mr.. EDTToR:-Would you again grant me a
small space TO say a few more words on this sub
iect. In your issue of August 26th, 1 spoke of
the direct action system from Artesian wells
and how to be worked.
/ will now draw your attention to another
method of obtaining large supplies of water in
some countries, and at a very small outlay COM
pared with the amount of water supplied land
that is the driven or tube well) where in suitable
localities 1t plays a prominent feature of water
supply in some of the towns and cities of Eng
land and elsewhere, each well varying from if
teen hundred to two thousand gallons and some
times more per hour. At Messrs. Allsopp i
CO. IS the well-known brewers a trial was made by
driving a single three-inch tube we'll thirty feet
deep, q portable pump was attached to it and q
cask of one hundred gallons capacity was filled
in one minute, which is at the rate of six thou
sand gallons per hour or sixty thousand gallons
per day of ten hours, but this was an exception,
this well was driven into n gravelly sub-soil.
Messrs. Allsopp have now thirty of these wells
coupled and worked by a pumping engine, the
combined wells discharging sixty thousand gal
Ions per hour, or six hundred thousand gallons
per day of ten hours. Messrs. Bass and Co.
have twenty-five coupled wells, discharging five
hundred thousand gallons per day. Thus in
one town two breweries are obtaining enough
water for refirigerating and manufacturing pur-
poses to supply a town of fifty thousand inhabit-
ants at 25 gallons per head per diem. Carmar-
then, in Wales, has a supply of one million
three hundred and forty-four thousand gallons
per week from two small wells of only two-inch
bore. The Tunnel Portland Cement Company,
at West Thurrock, Essex, have two wells of five
inch bore, eighty feet deep, from which they
draw two hundred and twenty thousand gallons
of pure clear water per day of ten hours. The
North Fleet Cement Works have one well of five
inch bore, which yields sixty thousand gallons
per day of ten hours. Wells of this description
vary in depth from fourteen TO one hundred and
twenty feet. The tube well is really nothing but
a suction pipe drawing from natures reservoir.
1t is said that the first tube well consisted of a
~01~4A1 10 1r1uzn ,nf 4hn aarfI 1~1 H.
pump q niger who sucked the water
through the pores of the cane now we see fac
tories, breweries, and towns drawing enormous
supplies from these small wells. Whether these
wells would suit Honolulu I cannot say, not
being conversant with the underlying strata, but
1 think if these wells were sunk down to what
is called the surface water plenty of good, cool,
clear filtered water could be found to supply
Honolulu for all purposes. Thanking you for
your valuable space, 1 remain, dear sir, yours
very truly, w.

M YEARS AGO, WHEN was AN

hunting down on the South Branch Of the Rartan River, near
