Ii is claimed for this wonder of
the twentieth century that it will
be boon of inestimable value to
farmers, city folks, manufacturers
generally, oil producers, railroads,
oreweries, miners. in fact to every
one engaged in lifting and distrib-
uting water and perhaps greatest

raisers of stock in the arid regions.
as through its use water may be
drawn and distributed at will either
by clockwork, electricity or hand
power. The invention is known
as the Deis pump. 1t is compact
about four feet high by probably
three feet in circumference but its
size Is apparently no indication of
Its greatness from the viewpoint
of general utility. The pump is
to he manufactured in three stan
dard styles.
No. l will be arranged so that it
may be readily wound in two or
three minutes to run six or eight
hours. This pump may be at
tached to the windmill devices now
so generally used, thus obviatinp
the necessity of waiting for wind
in order to secure force for lifting
water. 1t is designed also for
special use in dry regions for irri-
eating lands, thus obviating losses
of crops and cattle by drought.

20 gallons a minute and by con-
meeting by wire a series of pumps
between Washington and Philadel-
phla, for instance, all the pumping
stations along the route may be
operated through a motor stationed
at one end of the line thus making
a saving, il is claimed. of upwards
of 50 per cent, in the present lift

When Congressman Littlefeld.
last year, had printed in the Con-
greSsionaI Record his list of 500
