Forty-Two Wells.

Forty-odd wells supply the swim

Few persons realize what big job
II is to fill the mosaic set pool back OF

The tank holds, when filled, just
100000 gallons of water and after the

takes two days and two nights to start
the water running at the overflow
The wells which furnish the water

pipes are all siamesed onto a main
pipe FIVE or six inches In diameter,
which leads directly into the cellar OF
the gymnasium and is connected to a
powerful, steam driven double pump.
This raises the water up to the tank.
II is impossible to draw the water
very fast on account of the large
amount of sand which is sucked in
from the well.
There are all kinds of connections
about the pump enabling one to regu'
