The plan was as follows. To line the wells

city water TO run into item and be cooled
by the depth of the well. the water 10 be

Another plan was TO remove the pumps

bottom of the wells and up gain through
coils of pipe which would be cooled by
their passage through tie cool water of
the well.

There are signs that the time Is not

and present director OF the pubic
aquarium in Paramount park, when
farmers will consider fish culture as
important part OF their calling as
the raising Of grain or potatoes or
poultry. When that day arrives the
dsh industry of Pennsylvania Will rank
as high as any other industry. There
are few farms in Pennsylvania with
out springs, stream and swampy
land OF which no use is made and upon
which the farmer pays taxes without
any return. Most Of the streams and
the springs and the swamp land eoula
be utilized for the rearing of FISH. Tn
