Guarding Wells From contagion.

There is no need Of further proof of
the dangers which wells present, from
the point of view of possible contamina-
tion with disease germs, notably those
Of typhoid fever. 1t is we'll known how
many villages have been decimiated
by that terrible malady simply because
the wells which afforded the water sup
ply had received not only water from
pure springs, but also drainage from
cesspools. DR.. Koch, having recognized
the positive character of this peril, ad-
vises the arrangement in wells of sand
filtering apparatus, for which he offers
a very simple plan. At the center Of
the we'll he lowers an iron tube or 8
centimeters (2-12 or 3 inches) in di-
ameter, of WHICH the lower extremity,
tightly closed by metallic plug, is
pierced with a series of small holes
that permit the water to enter the pipe.
In the open space between this part Of
the. device and the sides of the we'll,
which should be we'll walled up, fine
gravel should be placed, rising above
the highest level which the water is H.
able to attain.
Then coarse sand should be filled in,
even to the mouth of the we'll, and a
pump plunger inserted inside the tube
The water which is pumped is then
filtered by, its passage through the sand
1t is not possible perhaps to say that
all the bacteria will be arrested. because
sand filtration is not recognized as alb
solutely efficacious, but it is at least a
great safeguard, and the installation is
very simple. 1t is especially important
that fine sand should not be permitted
to enter and accumulate in the body of
the pump.-Nature

New York Chess Women.

The Wonen's S Chess club of New York
is regarded with much interest, as it is
the first incorporated chess club started
for women i'll this country. The incor-
porators are Miss Eliza Campbell Foot,
Miss Jean l.. Nesbit, Miss Emily Som
ers Haines, Mrs. Winthrop Parker and
Miss Sophl, Downer. The chess season
begins the first Tuesday in November
and ends the last Tuesday in April, 26
meetings being held during the season.
Altogether ,he idea of wolnan's chess
club has proved most successful. The
membership is not large, as compara-
lively few women play the game, but
the club is growing. New York Sun.

Barney sarnato's Good Fortune.

It is better to be born lucky than
rich. When Mr. Barnato was at Johan.
nesburg, he determined to go to the
races You'll only lose your money"
said his friends warningly. "Well, I
won't take any with me-" he replied,
"And then shall be all right"
Arrived at the race course, he saw
man with a peanut >nd fruit stall and
asked him what he'd take for it.
"Two hundred pounds, was the re-
ply.
"Done with you," said Barnato..
"Well, where's the money!" asked
the man as Barnato was proceeding to
appropriate the stall.
"Oh, I'm Mr. Barnato It'u he all
right.
"Well, that's good enough for me-"
Within an hour Barnato had sold the
contents of the stall for 5000. He paid
the man his e2OO, staked the balance
on the races and won $4,000 before
the end Of the day.
Perhaps it is not generally known
now how Mr.. Barnato came to be mar
ried. The beginnings of his fortune are
said to have been due to the prudent
purchase Of diamonds in South Africa,
These he deposited for safety with a
certain bFrmaid in Kimberley. After a
time he said to her: "Give me my dia-
monds. I'm off to Europe. When re.
turn, We'll be married.
II think We'll be married first" she
replied, and those were the only terms
on which he could get back his dia.
monds. Now this astute young lady is
the present Mrs. Barnato, and her baby

ton in silver perambulator. London
