A CURIOUS PROBLEM.
Do Water Wheels Run Faster at
Night Than in the Day Timer
L.. A. L. .IiInnnn,nI.. Mann.

Night Than in the Day Timer
From the Indianapolis Netos.
For years the question as to whether
water wheels ran faster at night than dur
ing the day has been catalogued among the
things which no man can find out.
Surely, the answer is: They do, that is,
il they are 80 gearsd as to be affected by
the varying fullness and speed OF the cur
rent in which they are set. There is no
doubt that all streams are fuller and all
streams carry more water at midnight
than they do at noon.
In the first place, the increased GOODNESS
Of the air prevents evaporation and subse-
quent drying up Of the smaller tributaries;
and, in the second place, the condensation
of the moisture in the air in the shape or
dew is always sufficient TO add something
to large streams and their branches.
Heavy dews are often 30 coplous as to be
almost equal 80 a small shower Of rain. We
often hear dewdrops falling from the
overloaded leaves and find all exposed
objects as wet az if they had undergone a
shower during the night. A large part OF
this moisture must get into the minute
channels, which, of course, conduct it to
mill streams.
Often" says Humboldt, 'the effect
upon shallow stream IS very noticeable
indeed.n II It is at all noticeable a
wheel turned by such q stream would Ego
faster by night than by day"
