A SALT WATER WELL.

sunk for the supply Of Pools and Tanks
1t the New York Aquarium.
The salt water puols and tanks Of the
New York aquarium at Battery park
are now supplied from well sunk on
the premises. The aquarium's salt IVA
ter supply was originally drawn direct
from the bay through an intake pipe
carried out near the bottom from the
Battery sea wall. The water thus taken
was filtered in the usual manner before
delivering it into the pools. This
source of supply was continued until
the completion Of the salt water well.
The Castle Garden structure, IN which
the aquarium ia located, is built ON
made ground; the tide was known to
rise and fall under some parts Of the
building. There is q cellar under that
part of the building which fronts on
Battery park, and there an excavation
was made with view to the sinking
of salt water well. This excavation
was carried down to point below tide
level, seven feet below the cellar and
13 feet below the floor of the aquarium,
through made ground found to consist
of q number of feet of stone and gravel,
filled in on top of two tiers of logs laid
crosswise and resting upon stone
thrown in on the bottom. In this ex-
cavation, which was about $50 feet in
land from the battery sea wall, the tide
rose and fell about one hour later than
it's rise and fall in the open waters adj
jacent to the Battery. The tests of this
temporary we'll as to supply and char
acteristics being satisfactory, work
was begun upon the permanent plant
now in use.
The well was carried down to q
depth of II feet, and perforated iron
tube was sunk in it, with which was
placed the suction pipe of the pump
that is attached to it. The water is
drawn through q wrought-iron GAL
vanized pipe seven inches in diameter
and 2o7 feet in length, which, with o
number of easy bends, follows along in
side the wall of section of the nearly
circular building from. the well to the
pump, which is located near the boiler
room and the aquariu,n's supply tanks.
The capacity of the pump Is GOO gallons
minute; it has been tested to the full
capacity of the delivery pipe, with the
result of showing ample supply in the
we'll. The requirements of the aquari-
UNI, however, are less than this.
The water from the we'll is Of the
same density as that taken from the
open bay. 1t is ten degrees warmer in
winter and about ten degrees cooler
in summer. 1t is drawn through what
is in effect great natural filter, and 1t
is beautifully clear. This supply is de-
sirable for the aquarium stock, and its
economy is obvious, doing away, as it
does, with the use of artificial filters
and the need for the material required
in operating them.
There is, so far as DR.. Bean of the
aquarium is informed, no other aquari-
um in the world with like source Of
salt water suprly.-N. Y. Sun.

Remarkable Adventure Of an American

Remarkable Adventure of an American
with an African Gorilla.
A resident of Cincinnati, recently re-
turned from Delagoa bay, on the east
coast of Africa, relates story of con-
dict with gorilla, that came near cost
ing him his life. my permanent quar-
tsrs," he said, in telling the story, were
at the Central, but dinner was served
the night l arrived at the international.
I was thoroughly fatigued, and after
dinner told the manager wished to
go to my room. He walked to the door
and yelled for a servant in q voice that
could be heard above driving wind
and dashing rain. Out of the black
darkness came a negro as black as the
night itself. He took my bag, and,
with instructions from the manager
70 keep close to my guide, we started.
''The way led through what after
ward learned was garden. We had
not gone more than 30 or 40 PAGES when
l heard a fierce cry and at the same mo-
ment l received violent blow ON the
head. The force of the blow almost
stunned me, but managed to whip out
my revolver and shoot at my assailant.
Instantly was grasped in a grip that
seemed to crush my very bones. One
hand was free and I fired two shots
from my revolver. Then came another
crushing blow ON the head and lost
consciousness.
"Three days later ] came to myself.
My. head ached and my body was sore,
even to the touch. then learned that
my unknown enemy had been a gorilla.
1t seems that some hunters returning
from the interior had brought huge
beast as present to the hotel man.
There were no accommodations for the
newcomer, and until they could be pro-
vided, he had been chained to big
tree in the garden. By some means
he had broken his chain, though it was
an exceptionally strong one, and was
the first thing he found to pounce upon.

lantern, he seized his gun and ran out
to see what the trouble was. After
he had gone about 200 yards the light
from his lantern flashed full in the face
of giant gorilla, who was carrying me
on his back. The beast scowled and ut
tered repeated angry cries. Wilson
was man who possessed courage of
the highest order, and the coolness that
long experience in the southwest All q
cowboy had taught him. He was a
dead shot and he waited until he could
get chance at my captor without in
juring me. When it came he fired. The
animal fell. He carried me to the hotel
