may not be amiss to give some definitions. \ well is a deep narrow pit dug down tothe ground water. A_ blind well is a similiar pit dug down to a porous rock or gravel bed. A sink may be regard- ed as a blind well of larger dimensions. Mr. W. C. Harris has written a vigorous letter on this subject.

ster ‘ta placid pond,” or ‘“‘like a glacier?” (J. M.)! ! Not ex actly, I should say. Does move the facts of its being the recep- tacle of so much rainfall, and its limited rise, as indicated by its limited rise in the wells, prove motion beyond a doubt. Whither? To the sea, as it can flow noo where else. If theorists cannot reconcile this with their theories, they must readjust their theories. Certainly, facts will not bend tothem. Well-diggers have told me they have proved experimentally this sea- ward motion beyond a doubt. Scientific experimenters have worked up these questions. These have proved that ground water moves at the rate of from “three to seventy yards a day,” and ‘‘in nost cases to the sea.”” How is it with our ground water? It must come under the general law, and be considered a mass of water moving perhaps slowly but contin- ously towards the sea and emptying into it by numerous outlets. It is not pretended that any considerable portion of this sub- torranean water presents an unbroken, sinvoth surface. It is interrupted by nu- merous rocks and earthy masses. Some of between the rocks might resemble streams. No one pretends that | these original streams flow separately to 1@ Sea l ave been told by people that y have heard the rushing waters while weiis, The waste wells should ui down to the underground water. This | yust be particularly noted. The formia- on of **foul gases” out of organic matters requires conditions such as heat and avisiure. Other conditions, as the length of time of exposure, rate of notion, extent of dilution, would have + potent influence. The amount of gases which would form in our ground water would be very small indeed The condi- tions of cold, dilution and motion would operate against it. Pent up gases may ascape through a considerable heap of ground, but any gases which may possibly form in our ground water having an oppor- tunity to escape horizontally with the water are not likely to push upwards through 30 or 40 feet of rock and clay. Theorists are apprehensive that the waste water, after having descended to the underground water will, by}means of capillary attraction return to the surface through this 30 feet of rock and earth. The mere mention of this will suggest its improbability. I will describe my own waste well. It is situated two feet from the rear of the house outside, and is bored to the ground water 36 feet. This lined by an iron tube down to the rock, a part of the rock is very solid. A wooden pipe with apertures in its sides ex- tends from the upper opening of the iron cube to the roof of the kitchen. This answers all my purposes and is perfectly safe. it cost me $22. If each house had such a waste well as this witha dry earth closet, and the city would improve the sur iace drainage, we would get along very well At tie present time we are overwhelmned with debt, and a great many find it very diticult to avail themselves of the new watar system. Weare not able to incur any more heavy responsibilities. There is now before me the mortuary tables for August. The rate of death in Montreal is is 3.13 per thousand; Toronto 1.55; Quebec 3.28; Hamilton 1.48; St. John 1.89; Hali- fax 1.81; Charlottetown 1.89.

I am sorry to be obliged to ask your per- mission to allude to a persons] matter. I had said no one had affirmed the efficiency of sinks and surface drainage for carrying off waste water. 1 meant particularly the former of thetwo. ‘*J. M.” ina letter to you, said this statement (which in itself is quite unimportant) is incorrect and fal- lacious.
There is no accounting for taste in forms of expression. He referred for preof to a reco’. mendation made at a meeting of the City Board of Health. I have seen the gentleman who spoke at that meeting, and through information received from him, I am now able to state that no such recom- mendation was made by himin the sense suggested by ‘J. M.” No doubt your correspondent based his statement on some reports. But it is not safe to depend on reports in trying to prove alleged incor- rectness and fallacy in other men’s asser- tions. Afterthis expose it will not be necessary to allude to the other criticisms

That “ Real Ghost.”
Srr,—I have read with surprise the ar- ticle published in a recent Examiner, from the pen of Mrs, Pennee, of St. Anne du Leaupre, Quebec, describing a ‘‘real ghost” alleged to have been seen by herself and others in Binstead House. If Mrs. Pen- nee’s ghost story is no nearer the truth than what she is pleased to call *‘tacts,’’ re- lating to the life and character of a pre- vious occupant of Binstead, to whom she applies the fictitious name of Pigott, all I can say is that it is entitled to no oredence whatever.
Having known Binstead House and its occupants for over forty years, | am in a position to deny most emphatically the statement made regarding the party who sold it to Mr. Fellowes. This man, though not without his faults, will long be remem- bered by his old neighbors for his genuine goodness of heart. ‘The insinuations of im- morality and crime made by Mrs. Pennee regarding his domestic life at Binstead, are wholly without foundation. The state- ment that the house bore so bad a name at this time that it was avoided by respectable people, is grossly false. That household vas presided over by a high-minded, Chris- tian woman; and the character of the place and its visitors, during these years, will not suffer by comparison with the period when Mrs. Pennee’s family were in occupa- tron of the same house.
I am, yours, D. Fereuson.
