MIR. d. P. Holingsworth, of Fallston,
has constructed on his farm con-
venient and effective motor, which he uses
to pump water from his well. 1t is worked
by small stream several hundred yards from
the house. The apparatus consists of boat
or long vessel swung upon pivots. One-half
is filled with stone. The water is permitted
to fall into the other end, and the vessel is so
balanced that when one part is filed with
water it is slightly heavier than the stone end
and tilts over, splitting out the water. The
stone end is then the heavier and rights the
vessel. and thus the process of rising and
falling goes on. The boat is connected ly
rods with the plunger of the pump, which is
thereby kept in regular motion. The appa-
ratus is not expensive.
