Water Supply Is a Vital Problem

Cities Turn to Various Sources for This AllImportant Fluid. Washington.—The plight of Hongkong, where a drought has made it necessary to Import emergency supplies of water by the shipload for a community of more than half a million people, emphasizes the dependence of cities on an abundance of water. A bulletin from the Washington (D. C.) headquarters of the National Geographic society tells of the various sources of water supply to which cities have turned and traces the development of the modern city waterworks. “So long as men live in villages the problem of a supply of water for drinking, and other household purposes usually can be solved easily,” says the bulletin. “But when the village grows into a town, and the town into a city, the furnishing of an adequate amount of w’ater becomes increasingly difficult. The history of the growth of great tn all parts of the world has in large part been the history of the reaching out farther and farther for a greater supply of tits all-important fluid. Is Age-Old Problem. “It is not a modern problem. Six thousand years ago the cities that grew up in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates and the Nile were faced with the same need for a dependable water supply. In fact they grew where they did because water was there easily available. Because they were situated on level valley lands, these’ earliest cities of which we know could bring in water in canals; and from these the populace dipped it as they needed it. “Phoenicians were probably the first to construct what may be called waterworks. They sank a series of shafts and connected the bottoms by tunnels, thus leading a stream of water underground from upland sources to their coastal cities. Impervious strata were chosen in which to dig the tunnels, and in this way loss by seepage and evaporation was avoided. Such underground water systems are still made use of in the Near East, notably in Persia where all the larger cities obtain their water from such hidden streams. “The early Greeks borrowed the shaft-tunnel system from Syria, and conducted water to a number of their cities in this way as well as by surface canals. “Most of these earliest city water systems w’ere for the purpose of furnishing a necessity—the water which w*as essential for drinking and cookihg and cleaning. There were public baths in Greek cities; but apparently it was not until Rome had grown into a great city with a marked concentration of population that 'the idea came to supply to such a big population center a superabundance of water —not only enough to meet the urgent necessities of the populace, but also a large surplus to increase their comfort and pleasure. Some of the greatest engineering accomplishments of the Romans were in the construction of their aqueducts. The ruins of a number of these great works, stalking across valleys and low lands near Rome on arches from 50 to 100 or more feet high, are among‘the most striking remains of the ancient Roman civilization. Rome Went 60 Miles for Water. “The earliest of the Roman aqueducts had its source of water supply less than seven miles from the city. But as the population grew, and more and more water was required, new aqueducts were built extending 11, 20. 40 and even 61 miles into the country. A popular idea that these aqueduct channels were all carried far above ground is incorrect. Long sections of most of the channels were underground and in some cases high hills were pierced for them by long, deep tunnels. “Although Rome surpassed all earlier great cities in the abundance of its water supply. It did no go far beyond them in the matter of distribution. For the most part the water for household nse was fed to fountains and reservoirs from Which It was necessary for the people or their servants to take it in jars. Supplies were also conducted to important public buildings, to the private homes Ts a few very wealthy families, and to the public baths. “The dwellers in the cities of medieval Er-ope, like those of many cities of the Near and Far East today, had water supplies far inferior to that o* the Romans. Some of the outstanding exceptions were cities established as Roman colonies, in which the Roman-built aqueducts continued to function. The typical medieval city

VETERAN SAILOR CANNOT RESIST CALL OF THE SEA

New York.—When the Leviathan returned recently from Cherbourg and Southampton, among her passengers was John Hurley, roaming again on the sea. Thrilling were the tales of escapades and adventures during a long service at sea with which this old salt regaled the passengers. Hurley declares there are no real sailors today and during the trip frequently was found showing the sailors how ships were handled In the good old days. Hurley is one of the few remaining sailors whose experiences hark back to the romantic days In sail. His record Includes service In three great conflicts in which the United State* was engaged.

depended on wells and on cisterns filled by rain water drained from roofs. The water was often andean and easily became contaminated. These polluted city water supplies played an important pan in the occurrence of the devastating plagues that swept over European cities during the Mid-' die Ages. “London began piping water Into the city from outside sources as early as 1236, but it was supplied only to fountains and reservoirs. Few connections to individual homes were made before the Eighteenth century; and it was not until well into the Nineteenth century that this ultimate step in city water distribution took water into the dwellings of a large percentage of the city’s population. Until cast iron and wrought iron pipe could be made cheaply and in great quantTties the piping of water into ’ large numbers of individual houses was out of the question. The earliest London vroter mains were of lead and wood. Most of the present London water supply is taken from the Thames not many miles above the city. Uses Billion Gallons a Day. “New York, situated on a relatively small island, has had greater difficulty than London in obtaining an adequate water supply. Until 1842 the city depended on local wells and springs. If Manhattan’s present supply came from the island’s rainfall, a cloud bank more than 25 miles deep would have to discharge its water burden daily. In the forties the Croton aqueduct was constructed bringing what was then an abundant quantity of water from a distance of 25 miles or more north of the city. Since that time the city has found it necessary to reach farther and farther to the north to tap additional sources. Early in' the Twentieth century a great artificial subterranean river was constructed to flow for nearly 100 miles from the Catskill mountains, under the Hudson river, and beneath the city, finally to bubble up into its network of distributing pipes. New York’s combined water supply now constitutes the great? est city water system in the world. It furnishes to the inhabitants of greater New York an average of nearly nine hundred million gallons a day. “Chicago obtains Its water supply simply and economically. Tunnels have been extended under the bed of Lake Michigan for only three or four miles from shore, and through these great streams of lake water are pumped into the city. Similar systems supply Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Buffalo. St. Louis and New Orleans get their water supplies from the Mississippi river; and because of the great amounts of mud carried in suspension, ulust make use of systems of settling tanks and must also treat the water chemically. “Los Angeles has had to reach out farther for its water than any other American city. It transports the greater part of its supply in a huge conduit for more than 250 miles, much of the distance across deserts. For the additional supply which the city will soon need it plans to reach even farther—3oo miles east to the Colorado river. “The world’s record for distance over which a large volume of water is piped for community use is held in western Australia by the three desert-surrounded, gold-mining towns: Kalgooriie, Coolgardie, and Boulder.

Hurley\was born in Ireland in 1847, the son of a famous pilot At the age of fourteen he shipped on a brigantine bound for Sydney. From there be went to Boston and enlisted in the United States navy. He was mustered out at the close of the Civil war and engaged in mercantile shipping, serving both in sail and steam for several years. In 1881 he shipped on the Proteus which carried the 111-fated Greely expedition to the Arctic region.

Instead, they are shafts drilled to a depth of hundreds or perhaps a thousand or more feet; and from them, electric pumps lift millions' of gallons of pure water daily. Kt Paso, Texas, a city of more than 117.000 population, and numerous smaller cities of the American West, as well as Memphis, Tennessee, and other cities near the Atlantic seaboard, obtain in this way an abundant water supply. “Other Island cities besides Hongkong are dependent on local rainfall to furnish their water. St. Thomas, in the Virgin islands, has constructed a brick paved watershed near the town to aid in the collection of clean water. A similar concrete-covered watershed occupies a prominent slope of the Rock of Gibraltar. In Key West rainwater, drained from roofs Into cisterns, makes up the main supply. As the city has grown, however, it has been necessary to ship in water by rail in tank cars from the mainland. a few arid coastal regions, the fresh water that can be collected from all sources is inadequate to meet the needs of the population, and in order to supplement the supply for towns It Is necessary to distill sea water. Jidda, on the Red sea, is a typical sunbaked town where drinking water is thus wrung from the sea. The condensing factory is one of the landmarks of the Jidda harbor.” OLD SOAK IS HAPPY ■ll btr- V’ W llwg I I "W Z Old Soak, Secretary of State Stimson’s famous parrot that was brought from the Philippines, is happy now for he has rejoined his master in Washington.

(©. 1939 Western Newspaper Onion.* Lesson for August 18 THE RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY LESSON TEXT—Jeremiah 19:16-14: Ezra 1:1-6; Ps. 126:1-6. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord hath done great things for us. whereof we are glad. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Happy Homa Coming. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Second Chance. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Making a Fresh Start. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Historic Significance of the Return. 1. The Return Predicted (Jer. 29:1014). False prophets were flourishing In Babylon telling the people that they would speedily be restored to theii own land. To counteract this the Lord moved Jeremiah to send a letter to the captives in Babylon (vv. 8,9). Ln this letter be advised 'them to settle down anil quietly pursue their regular callings of life, and not to be led astray by the false prophets (vv. 6.7), L The length of the captivity (▼. W). Their coming back was to be ‘after seventy years.” From Daniel 9:2 it is .clear that seventy years means a definite time. It dates from the time when the first company, among which Daniel was found, was taken captive. 2. Recovered by God (vv.LO-14). God’s purpose in the Captivity was to cure them of their idolatrous practices. He assured them that when His purpose was accomplished He would visit them and convince them of His good purpose toward them. 11. The Predicted Captivity Fulfilled (Ezra 1:1-6). L The Proclamation of Cyrus (vv. 1-4). (1) This was not by accident, but that the word of the Lord might he fulfilled (v. 1). What God has promised He will da (2) By divine initiation (v. 1). “The Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus.” How this was done we do not know, possibly Daniel brought to his attention the prophecy of Isaiab and Jeremiah (Isa. 44:28; Jer. 25:12). (3) The content of the king’s proclamation (vv. 2-4). (a) “The Lord God of heaven hath charged me to build Him a house tn -Jerusalem” (v. 2). This makes clear that he had some impression of God’s hand upon him. (b) Appeal to Jewish patriotism (▼. 3). He invokes upon such as possess the national religious feeling the blessing of God, and commands them to go and build the house of the Lord God. « (c) To lend assistance (v. 4). Many of the Jews were established in business and therefore were not free to go. Many, no doubt, had lost their national spirit and were not ankious to ga AU such were to lend friendly assistance with silver, gold and beasts. 2. The response to Cyrus’ proclamation (vv. 5. 6). The chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and Levites presented themselves as willing to go. The company which returned was largely made up of representatives of Judah and Benjamin. 3. The royal favor (vv. 7-11). Cyrus returned 5,400 vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem and put into the house of his gods. This was a great encouragement to every loyal Jew whose heart had been grieved over the profanation of these sacred vessels. 111. The Gladness and Rejoicing of the Returning Exiles (Ps. 126:1 6) 1. The proealamation of Cyrus as a dream They recognized that their going back was through the favor of the Lord. 2. Their laughter and singing (w. 2,3). They not only recognized the favor of the Lord upon them, but testified thereof in the hearing of the heathen round about them. 3. Their prayer for prosperity In the land (v. 4). They were not only going back with the consciousness of the good inand of the Lord upon them, but were trusting Him for the fruitfulness of the land. 4. Sowing in tears (w. 5,6). The seeds which they were to sow on the land were so precious that they seemed to have hesitated as to sowing, and yet they recognized that joy would follow their sorrow tvhen they should bring in the sheaves of the harvest. Always in Need of Him 1 still say, and without any selfeontradiction, I know no persons living, who are so deeply conscious of their needing Christ, both as prophet, priest and king, as those who believe themselves, and whom 1 believe, to be cleansed from sin; I mean from all pride, anger, evil desire and unbelief.—John Wesley. The Spirit of the Lord The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to blndl up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, —tea. 61:1. Lay Them Before Him The true use to be made of all the Imperfections of which you are conscious is neither to justify nor to condemn them, but to present them before God, conforming your will to His, and remaining tn pefiee; for peace Is the Divine order, in whatever stab: we may be.—Fenelon. *

Study of Volcanology Life Work of Doctor Volcanology is a “new science”—no longer a part of geology, says the man who is regarded as the greatest living authority on the volcano of Kilauea, island of Hawaii, and possibly the greatest in the world. Dr. Thomas A. Jagger, head of the Hawaiian Volcano observatory, says that volcanology is the forerunner of other sciences based on humaneness and conservation. He himself has devoted nearly 20 years to the study qf the volcano of Kilauea and ether craters in the islands, and has virtually given up his life to this interest. He suggests, as a possible new science, on the line indicated, “fluviology”—the study of river flows, instancing the Mississippi river disasters and the need for studying their causes and obviating future catastrophes. Doctor Jaggar recently announced that Dr. Howard Powers, of Harvard, and Prof. Chester Wentworth, of St. Louis university, will go to Hawaii to study Island volcanoes. Doctor Powers will make a close study of lava flows. Professor Wentworth is going particularly to Investigate the origin of the yellow ash, which is prevalent in,one of the districts of the island of Hawaii below the giant volcanic mountains. Women Join Clubs to Escape From Husbands? With their increasing leisure American women are. like the men folk, becoming a nation of joiners. Feminine organization is growing by leaps and bounds. Not only do social, civic, business and fraternal groups number many women, but women are becoming more exclusive as a sex organizing their own movements. No lees a person than Gertrude Atherton, novelist, declares It is husbands, not wives, who are responsible for the growing number of women’s clubs. She explains: “Women of recent generations have, been driven into banding together to find an outlet for their mental energy because the American husband, engrossed in business, insists on regarding them as ornamental, useless and his mental inferior.” The Guarantee Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., interrupted with an anecdote the flow of a brilliant address to automobile agents tn Detroit. “A man,” Mr. Sloan began, “was duped into buying a bad car.
