Installs Pumping Plant.

A. A. Foss has come to the rescue
of his lawn by installing pumping
plant. and now he can use all the
water he wants for irrigation purposes.
To force pump, an ordinary hot
water tank is attached, and from this
the hose carries the water to the
sprinkling nozzle. The use of the tank
does away with the vibration that
would result were the hose connected
directly to the pump. A gasoline en-
gine is used for power.

Destroyer Gains and Losses

Attention has been directed so large
~ to submarine losses that the severe
losses among destroyers have not at
tracted much notice; but they arc
heavy. Thus the destroyers of all the
Allies lost from all causes during the
four years of the war are: For Great
Britain, SO; France. 9: Italy, 8: United
States, 2, and Japan, ,. This makes a
total for the Allies of &c. During the
same period, Premier Lloyd George
tells us, the Germans lost $50 subma-
rlnes, and this is generally believed to
be about equal to their present total
force The enemy, therefore, has lost
twice as many units as have the Al
lied destroyer forces that have been
hunting him down. But the great su
periority of the hunter over the hunted
is shown by the fact that. while the
Germans have lost 100 U-boats out Of
800. the Allies have lost only 76 de-
stroyers out of more than 900 Sci
