clumslly fashioned balancing pole.
which is fastened at the middle TO the
fork OF a tree. st one end OF this
primitive balance. which Is as stout as
an ordinary beam. Is fixed another long
pole. the lower end OF which is sunk
into a well and carries large vessel
made OF baked clay. At the opposite
end OF this pole are two coolies. who
are constantly in motion and thus
form a living counter balance.
One after another they walk with
great s,Sides over this narrow path
way. passing with mechanical yet a
rhythmical and supple movement from
one end Of the pole TO the other, and
hardly touching a slender bamboo bal
ustradc. which IS within their reach
and which is intended to serve as a
guide. When they arrive at one end
and are bowed down beneath the
weight they know that at the other
end the enormous vessel has been
filed with water and raised to the
surface of the ground.
Large notches cut in the trees serve
dams, and render it easy for them to
reach the tip of the pole at the moment
when. having arrived at the end of its
course, it is almost vertical. While
they are making this ascent with in
comparable agility another man emp
ties the water from the enormous YES
sci into trenches by simply oscillatlng
the vessel, after which the manoeuvre
is repeated.
The work of the coolies is by 70
means so onerous as it seems. for
pains are always taken to have the
pole balanced correctly and Of the pro-
per weight, and in this way the task
is much simplied. The weight Of the
coolies themselves is also taken into
account. and there are cogs by means
of which the balancing pole can be
heightened or shortened, as may be
desired.
