A c,rx's SEVEN RESERVOIRS.

saa Fraacisco's Water supply
Through the Rainless Season.
The growth of a city is most accur-
ately estimated by the demands upon
Its water supply. Pure water is Of the
utmost Importance to the health Of
towns and cities. =
While eastern and central portions
Of the United States are blessed with
summer rains and a grand system of
rivers and lakes from whichsto draw
a supply for their cities and towns,
the Pacific coast has only winter rains,
which last for an average Of about five
months in the year-from about vile
middle Of October to the end Of March
being followed by an absolutely dry
summer, lasting from six to. seven
months. In order, therefore, to make
success Of the water supply 1t be-
comes necessary to store the winter
waters when there Ia an abundance
flowing to waste into the sea.
The Spring Valley Water company
is the corporation which furnishes San
Francisco with it's water from reser-
VOlEb blluutc ia kuO 6UuluCEA lNUIllVu
of the peninsula.
The storage capacity of the COM
pany's reservoirs together now is 3d.
900 ,OOO, 900 gallons, and they contain
an average of %, OOO, 0OO, 900 gallons.
The company has other properties in
view where an additional supply Of
water may be stored. With the reser-
voirs built as proposed, its storage
capacity, which Is now 5000 OOO, 600,
will be increased to $4,000. 100000 gal
Ions, and their daily supply capacity,
which at present Is nearly 100000
gallons, the city consuming 10000, 600
gallons, will be increased nearly 1OO,-
100000 gallons daily, which would
permit an abundant supplyfor from
one to one and a half million people.
Thus, San Francisco in proportion 10
its population, Is abundantly- supplied
with water, not only at present, but
for many years ahead.
The joint capacity of the seven city
reservoirs Is in the neighb0rhood Of
eO,OOO,O 600 gallons, and their respective
elevations range from 1GS to 375 feet
above tide. The distributing pipe sys:
tenn of San Francisco from inches to
81 inches has total length of 28S
miles and although the surface Of the
city Is broken up by many hills and
dales, the average pressure maintained
throughout the city varies from 90 to
q pounds to the square inch, which is

had made up the berth quite early in
the evening, and consequently Miss
Jansen was awake quite early when
morning came. She had climbed into
her berth with the aid of a step ladder,
but when she was about to climb down
she forgot all about the steps. As It
happened, there was q man in the
aisle a few sections away, and of
course, she didn't like to make a

that the old Lady was to have left the

the lower berth had been relet Her
aunt was also In an upper berth
across the aisle, but glance informed
the perplexed girl TINT she WINS not

in her berth until her aunt got up,
but after a few minutes She could
stand 1t no longer. and after several
attempts parted the curtains, grabbed
the bar ON which the curtains hung
with one hand-she never could tell
why she didn't use both hands, and

lecture that was the feature Of the
dairymen's convention. In brief, the
work Of DR.. Jordan was to figure out
the relation between the food eaten and
what 10 produced by 1t. The percentage
Of dressed weight to light weight In
steers is GA. In the composition of a
dressed carcass we throw away In
what cannot be eaten IS pounds out Of
every 100 pounds. So that In the steer
we get only 48,4 pounds Of food in
each 100 pounds Of live weight, the
remainder being discarded. But OF
milk we throw away nothing--it is all
eaten, all digcstible; in eggs we throw
away nothing but the shell, eggs md
