AUSTRALIA v. OTAGO: THE CAPTAINS.

diameter, there would be somewhere about Jib per square inch difference of pressure, but were the^tank empty there wotild be all the difference. To make this perfectly clear to you, just imagine two tanks side by side, with power to fill and empty each as needed. Fill both to the, level of the bottom of the pipe that you say delivers over the surface of the one to be pumpecli and kept full. Now it is perfectly obvious that the other, being the same height and no more, it cannot delivei watei into that pipe over the levels of both. That being so — and this can ba tried with a small pipe and two basins, — it must take more power to elevate water to any level over or higher than any other level ; for, had tEe cenmmnication been below, from the bottom of one to the bottom of the other, any water taken from the one would be made xip from the other — if it were kept to its level, of covirse, by a supply, say, fioni any stream. Ratepayer, Palmerston. — Mr Davey replies: — You might have given the speed, diameter, etc., of the pump, together with the diameter of the delivery pipes, suction pipes, and the delivery in gallons, say, per minute ; for there may bs something wrong with the pump, or there may be something wrong with some of the working parts of it. However, the whole may only be the jerky action of some such pumps, especially single-action ones, and probably the best thing to do would be to furnish the pump with a copper air chamber near the pump of sufficient size and capacity, wEich will tend to equalise tlie ttelivery and thus niininiise any small defect, even if the pipes are on the small size, as a steady delivery means more per second than an uneven one, with any given pressure. It does not seem advisable to place anything on the delivery end of the pipe that would cause any obstruction. Cannot the meter oi gauge be placed somewhere clear of the pipe? If so. it would be better.

whose periods are so contrived that the new (calendar) moon always fo'lows the real new moon, sometimes by two or even three days. Tne effect of this is that the 14th of the ca'endar moon falls generally on the 15th or lGth of the real moon, and thus after the real full moon, which is generally on the fourteenth or fifteenth day. The rule is that Easter Day is always the first Sunday after the paschal full moon — that is, the full moon which happens upon ox next after the 21st of March (the beginning of the ecclesiastical year), and if the full moon happens upon a Sunday, Easter Day is the Sunday after. Oi/eanic. — The following is the method in use for cleaning furs: — Get a good quantity of powcJered whiting, and piit it in a damp place for a day or two, but on no account allow it to get wet. Rub it well into the fur with the hand. Allow it to stop till next day, when give it another good rubbing; then shake out all the whiting you can, and give it a good brushing wi+h a clothes brush. It will now be pretty clean except the skin at the bottom, of the fur. To remove the dirt there put the fur over the back of a chair, and use the point of the clothes brush very briskly, at the same time giving a short puff of wind everjr time you. give a stroke of the brush. Lastly, po\rr a little spirits 1 of wine on a plate, dip the point of the clothes brush into this, and lightly pass it over the fur, moving the brush the same way as the fur runs.
