Particular note has been made of the quantity and quality of the supply afforded by wells that give flows at the surface. The water .of most of these wells is ad mirably adapted to household uses, though that of some of them contains enough mineral salts in solution to make, trouble in boilers used for steam production. The Variation in flow exhibited by these wells with the rise and fall of the tide is of peculiar interest, the flow being notably greater at the flood than at the ebb tide/ is the gener al opinion among well drillers that practically all flowing \yells near tidal rivers or inlets from opea-bays do feel the distant sea, but some of them so slightly that the variation in flow is not noticeable. The geologist in charge of the groundwater investigations in Vir ginia states that changes in water level in wells, due to fluctuations in the height of the surface of some neighboring body of water, have been observed all over the world.. It is customary to explain these changes by supposing a direct connection be tween - the river, lake, or bay; but in many places, as in eastern Virginia, such connection is clearly impossible, owing to the depth of the wells and the nature of the intervening beds, some of them dense. Yough marls and clays. These beds, however, though they do not transmit water, neverthe less contain it, and as water is prac tically incompressible, and variation of level on the river or bay is trans mitted to the well through the yniter- flllycTgravels, sands, days and fharTa, when a pirus bed is tapped by a well the water^fises to the point of equili brium and. fluctuates as the hand of Traaaunsr’a Notiea. the ocean varies its pressure on.the beds that conftne the artesian flow Send ua your JOB WORK.
