Brunnen Mai versenkt werden kann, und das Wasser gepumpt durch Dampf, manuelle Arbeit, oder horse power. Artesische Brunnen kann langweilig werden, und nicht nur eine reichliche Versorgung mit Wasser erzielt werden, aber selbst das Wasser bei einer Konsi- derably erhöhte Temperatur, wie bei Sion Haus Garten und sonst-wo. Ein neugieriger und einfachen Modus dieses Betriebes ist vom späten Sir Andrew Halliday in seiner Arbeit auf der West India beschrieben.

. The book of the garden. Gardening. SUPPLY OF WATER. 17 attached to existing machinery, such as mills, &c, and the water propelled through pipes to any distance, and to any reasonable altitude. Wells may be sunk, and the water pumped up by steam, manual labour, or horse power. Artesian wells may be bored, and not only an abundant supply of water be obtained, but even that water at a consi- derably elevated temperature, as is the case at Sion House gardens and else- where. A curious and simple mode of this operation is described by the late Sir Andrew Halliday in his work on the West India colonies. Excellent practical directions for obtaining water by this means will be found in " The Engi- neers' and Mechanics' Encyclopaedia, " art. "Boring, " and in various works on civil engineering. In situations where water cannot be got from higher levels so as to be brought by its own gravity into the garden, or where circumstances prevent the collect- ing a sufficiency of rain water, hydraulic or steam power may be applied: in de- fault of all these, boring the stratification and forming artesian wells must be had recourse to. This art, comparatively new amongst us, has for centuries been in operation in China, and for ages in the south of France and Italy. We believe that there are few situations where a supply of water may not be obtained by this means; but the water will not, in all cases, flow to the surface, and this particularly tends to occur in flat countries. From this cause the value of these wells is greatly lessened. Sometimes it will rise to within 20 or 30 feet of the surface: in such cases a well must be sunk, into which the water will flow and form a reservoir, and from this it must be brought up by means of a pump. At other times, it will rise to the surface and flow into a basin or pond, and sometimes it will rise to a consider- able height above it, and form a jet or fountain. Various theories have been propounded with regard to thes
