Antiquity of the Pump.

Machines for raising water may be
said to be as old as civilization itself,
and their invention extends so far be-
yond written history that no one can
say when the art of lifting and dis
tributing water began. Egypt, the land
of unfathomable antiquity, the oldest
civilization of the orient, noted not only
for her magnificence and power, but
for knowledge, wisdom and engineer
ing skill, understood and made prac-
tical use of such important hydraulic
devices as the siphon and the syringe,
the latter being a remarkable inven-
ton and the real parent of the modern
pump. Whether or not syringes were
ever fitted with inlet and outlet valves,
thus making the single action pump, is
not known. But bellows consisting of
a leather bag set in frame and work
ed by the feet, the operator standing
with one foot on each bag, eXpelling
the ipclosed air, the exhaust bag being
then lifted by string to refill it with
air, implies the use of valve opening
inward, and it is difficult to conceive
Of a continuous operation without one
