Making an ArtesIan Well Pump Itself.

TIL field men in the United States &C.
illogical Survey in their Investigations Of
the ground-water resources Of the Nir-
ginia coastal plain, have observed that
the flows from many artesian wells in
that region are utilized to drive hydraulic
rams for the purpose of Uniting the water
to higher levels. Along the lower courses
Of the Potomac and Rappahannock and
along the shores of the many inlets that
run back from Chesapeake bay above the
James, there are hundreds OF artesian
wells that supply a perennial flow OF
beautifully clear water which is, as
rule, eXcelenty adapted TO all domestis
uses and is largely utilized by the cam
ming factories and other industrial estab-
lishments that abound in that part of the
country, Though the pressure of the
water from the wells is ample at the
hore level, the head diminishes o quickly
with increase in elevation that no flow
can be obtained along the higher banks
above the shores, where the water Is most
needed The common method of obtain
ing 1t at these higher levels is to use the
force developed by the artesian flow to
operate hydraulic rams, which in turn
raise the water to the heights desired
along the bluffs above the rivers and in
let's. Thus it may be said that the ar

The plain and ugly interior of our Town hall, which by the way is not credit to the town or the board of selecJmen, was transformed into bower of beauty, last Saturday evening, at the reception given by Miss Helen Tenders dancing class. The culors were red and white, the de- sign of the decorations being feStOOnS from the chandeliers, windows and balconies combined with evergreens. Miss Tenders and the Misses Jessie and Mabel Taylor deserve credit for the decorations. White was the pre- vailing tone among the gowns with just enough of those of delicate colors to give pleasing variety. After the initial reception the interval was filled with friends while the young people made out their dancing, lists upon
 which there were 16 numbers. These consisted of the two-step, three-step,
 waltz, schottische, Virginia reel, lan- ciers and German four hundred. The
 pupils, many of whom were but begin
 ners at the act this year, did their
 on the methods and ability of their
 teacher. The music, furnished by Mrs
 John R. Peck, who has been the pia
 mist for the class all winter, was just
 the sort to inspire the dancers to their
 best efforts and kept them going at a
 midnight. The selection of partners for the Virginia Reel was made by lot, each gentleman being provided with a card upon which was printed the name
 of state and he found his partner in the lady whose card bore the name of its capital The ladies doing the hon. ors as patronesses were Mrs s. F. H. Hewitt, Mrs w. J. Beecher, Mrs l.. o. Morris and Mrs John R. Peck. Punch and wafers were served during the evening, Miss Viola Clark presiding al | the refreshment table. It was an event long to be remembered by the
 young people and their friends.
