LONDON has suddenly found itself in
possession Of cheap and inexhaustible
supply Of pure water, the existence Of
which it had never suspected. Walter
Mosely, the engineer Of the London
county council, has informed that body
that underneath London is an immense
lake Of pure, cold water, in chalk
basin $500 square miles in extent and
100 feet below the surface Of the
ground. The annual rainfall that sinks
below to the lake is at least $50, 000,-
600, 900 gallons, which would give 4
