with the reservoir in spite of its size.
IDe revolutionary part belongs to the
manner of filling the lake when the King
pressed the button. Then he put in mo-
tion a series of mighty pumps of a kind
which the world has never seen before
There are five pumps, four large ones,
and one which Is half the size of its big
brothers. Each of the large pumps has
the power TO lift easily from the River
Lea up into the reservoir 10000 gallons of
water a minute, which comes to the stu
pendous total of 5O0O0.0o0 gallons a day.
The whole of the pumps working together
could fill up the 5000 100000 gallons capa-
city of the reservoir in 10 days. The only
drawback to such a feat is that the
River Lea, except in times of flood. could
never keep such rate of supply going.
The reservoir, indeed, is just a storage
cistern on large scale. when the river
is in flood the surplus water will be lifted
up by the full battery of pumps, and
stored away. For the ordinary daily sur
plus flow of the river the one small pump
will be quite sufficient.
With such figures of power in mind the
new pumping house IS at first a disap-
pointing sight. 1t is a long building with
a high roof and in one corner of the
floor is a small electric motor running
modest air compressor. There are no
huge engines rearing their heads to the
roof, with mighty croSSDeamS OF pollsheu
steel rising and falling, as in the pump
ing station with which most of us are
familiar. But sunk in the floor are five
circular pits. and in each of these reposes
a strange looking machine, which to the
uninitiated might do equally well for
laundry or a sweet factory.
Kind, youthful engineers took the visit
ing novice in hand and tried to explain
to him how it is done-how these strange
circular machines gather in the river
water at its natural level, and force 1t
by q series of explosions into curiously
shaped water towers, from whence the
water Is poured into the lake. 1t is all
really very simple, based on first princi-
Piles, like all great inventions. The
pumps work on the internal combustion
principle, like motor engine. and the
successive explosions of a mixture Of
compressed air and producer gas set
column of water oscillating, which, with
each explosion of the mixture. discharges
a portion of itself into the water tower.
TO adopt a telling phrase, it is really "a
gas engine in which the piston. the con-
Meeting rod, and the fly wheel are all
composed of water"
