WATER FOR HOUSE AND STABLE
Plan Whereby Single Well May Do
for Both.


To supply both the house and stable
with water It Is very often necessary
to have two separate wells. u the
distance Is not too great and the-house
stands on higher ground, a single well
may serve for all purposes. The plan
illustrated here provides for the build
ing Of concrete reservoir around the
house well and the laying of a pipe
which will carry the water to the
stable on the lower level. To find
how much fall there Is, take an ordln'
AIRY spirit level and place It level on
the place for the cistern, then sight
over the level 10 the place where the
water is to be carried. The depth Of
the clstern must be governed some

Measuring Sea Depths by Electricity

Measuring Sea Depths by Electricity
For ascertalning the depth of the
sea without the use of the sounding
lead or other devices, the Norwegian
engineer, Berggraf has invented a
unique method. He sends sound
waves perpendicuarly into the water
and measures the time they require
to return to the surface after having
been reflected from the bottom of the
sea. The speed of the sound in wa.
ter being known, the length of the
space passed through is Immediately

Waning Of Venetian Glory.

From refugees, driven before the
rude rulers north Of the Alps to seek
shelter on The marshy islands in tho
Adriatlc lagoon, to the richest and
most accomplished people in Europe,
was a transformation the Venetlans
were slow in affecting and their glory
began to wane only when internal
strife weakened them so much that
they could not resist the onslaughts OF
their foes by sea and land, including
their most powerful rivals, the Geno'
csc. Little by little the great repub'
lie OF Venice lost its power until 1t
fell under the sway OF first one for.
eign dictator after another. Austria
coveted II, and in the eighteenth cen.
tury held It in subsection; and Napol'
con made It a stepping stone to his
goal Of ambition, when, In 1897, he en-
tered It, and stabbed his horses in the
courtyard of the Doge's palace.
The place Venice has occupied in
the development Of painting and OF
printing is too we'll known to need ex,

artists is imperishable; and the books
II produced when the art of printing
