MAKING A DEWPOND.
An Old Method of Securing Water
 Even in a Drought,

An Old Method of Securing Water,
 Even in Drought.
 There is still in England at least one wandering gang of men who will con- struct for the modern farmer a pond which in any situation In a sufficiently dry soil will always contain water more in the heat of summer than dur ing winter rains,
 According to an account given by A, J. and G. Hubbard and published by Longmans, this water is not derived from springs or rainfall and is speedi- ly lost if even the smallest rivulet is allowed to flow into the pond
 The gang of dewpond makers com nences operations by following out the earth for space far in excess of the apparent requirements of the pro- posed pond, They then thickly cover the whole of the hollow with a coating of dry straw. The straw in its turn is covered by layer of well chosen, fine- ly puddled clay, and the upper surface of the clay Is then closely strewn with stones.
 Care has to be taken that the margin of the straw is effectively protected by clay The pond will gradually become filled with water the more rapidly the larger it is, even though no rain may fall. If such a structure is situated on the summit of a down, during the warmth of a summer day the earth will have stored a considerable amount of heat, while the pond, protected from this heat by the non-conductivity of the straw, is at the same time chilled by the process of evaporation from the puddled clay.
 The consequence Is that during the night the moisture of the comparative ly warm air Is condensed on the sur face of the cold clay. As the con- densation during the night is in excess of the evaporation during the day. the pond becomes, night by night, gradu- ally filled filled. Theoretically we may observe that during the day, the air be- ing comparatively charged with moist ure evaporation is necessarily less than the precipitation during the night. In practice 1t is found that the pond will constantly yield supply of the purest water,
 The dewpond will cease to attract the dew if the layer of straw should get wet, as it then becomes of the same temperature as the surrounding earth. and ceases to act as non conductor of the reat This practically always oc- CUTS if a spring is allowed to flow into the pond or if the layer of clay (tech- nically the crusD is pierced

 giate debates and to rearrange the schedule of times and places of the de- bates. After a long session of seven hours 1t was decided to leave the ques- ton as 1t stands al present and to con- tinue the present schedule as to times and places until the committee can work out different time schedule. This means that graduates will not be debarred from participation in the de- bates.
 The principal objection to the present schedule is that the spring debates do not arouse as much interest as they should. The Harvard and Princeton representatives urged that debates be- tween the freshmen associations in the three colleges be encouraged, and the Yale men agreed to the suggestion.
