EDITOR FREE PRESS The experience OF
the past has demonstrated the fact, to the
satisfaction Of almost everybody, either con-
nected with or simply visiting the Chautau-
qua Assembly. that its choir Gf it has one,
should be composed of home singers, and
surely San Marcos has much superior vocal
talent out of which to organize choir in
ferior to none In the state, nor is it all es-
entail to the we'll being or success of the as
sembly, that specialists should be imported

ting the ball in motion, we put in nomina-

A Problem In Irrigation.

EDITOR FREE PRESS AS the practicable
ity of sub-irrigation by thing our uneven
ground has been questioned, we herewith
submit q problem for solution by some
practical philosopher, which if solved will
render great benefit to horticulture.
We have our inclined plane Of gradual
descent of four feet at the base. On top of
the hill reservoir is placed with capacity
of ten thousand gallons. Down on the side
of the hill fruit trees are set every ten feet
apart, extending to one hundred feet, max
ing ten trees in all, the first tree being set
ten feet from the reservoir, The one
nearest to the reservoir is Numbered one.
the second 2, and so on down to the tenth
tree. A pipe is attached 10 the reservoir
running along the roots Of the trees. Holes
are made in the piDe opposite the trees ten
feet apart, all of the same size. Down at
the tenth tree or hold the pipe is turned up
until it reaches the level of the reservoir,
making what is termed "hydrostatic par
sdox."
Now, the object desired is an equal dis
tribution Of water. lst VIII hole No.
pour out as much water in q given time ~
hole No. 10 at the base Of the hill. which
is four feet lover than the reservoir Il
the pressure AL along the pipe is the same
At what point viii the most water run out
at 9 given timer 2nd. Gan an equal dis
tribution Of water be obtained By gradual
ing the panetures in the pipe. for instance,
No. l is finch in diamstr, No. smaller.
No. still smaller, and 20 on down the pipe.

when it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
