In the neighbourhood is a large reservoir in connection with the Bristol water-works. Locking, a parish 3 m. S.E. of Weston-super-Mare, but most easily reached from Worle Station, 1-1/2 m. away. The church was rebuilt in 1863, and its earlier features obliterated, with the exception of the Perp. tower. Long Load, a parish 2 m.
This water was really just as impure as that which had before been taken from the wells, and it was not long before the new water-works were known to be a failure. Then the company gave all their attention to the bank, which had in the meanwhile been started.
No one spoke for a minute, but there were signs of emotion among the aunts, which warned the boys to bestir themselves before the water-works began to play. So they took hands and began to prance about uncle and niece, singing, with sudden inspiration, the nursery rhyme, "Ring around a Rosy!" Of course that put an end to all sentiment, and Rose emerged laughing from Dr.
And, when talk failed, she took to her water-works again, till finally the cap'n said his resolution was clean washed away, and he jest give up hook and line; and so 'twas all settled and arranged, that, when evening come, she was to be alongside with her boat, and took aboard. "When she come out o' the cap'n's room to go off, I see Tom Toothacre a watchin' on her.
Gladstone recommended him for Knighthood, and in 1889 Lord Salisbury for a K.C.B. Sir Robert has served on three Royal Commissions; water-works have been constructed under his directions in Hong Kong the name Hong Kong curiously enough means 'fragrant streams' and Singapore; and Sir Robert conceived and established a system of main sewerage which has had not a little to do with the health of the people.
The great water-works of the city bring the Croton River, whence New York is supplied, by an aqueduct over the Harlem River into an enormous reservoir just above the Park; and hence it has come to pass that there will be water not only for sanitary and useful purposes, but also for ornament. At present the Park, to English eyes, seems to be all road.
The St. Louis Water-Works, where the rates are substantially the same as in Kansas City, have been quoted as having the following motor rates, but whether correct or not my inquiries have failed to determine: "On the supposition that motors are to be used ten hours per day for 300 days per year, motors are assessed for 1/4 inch jets | $120 per annum. | 3/8 " | 198 " " | 1/2 " | 300 " " | + +
The water-works and wells were fortunately intact, but until everything had been carefully tested and examined, the horses, who had drunk nothing since the previous day, had to remain thirsty. In the morning the town was systematically searched. There were mines and bombs and infernal-machines everywhere, all obviously made in Germany.
But now, as I would plan it, instead of trouble my father shall have laughter, and instead of annoyance such a jest as may make him good amends for the wrong done him by the breach of his household laws. Caspar has explained to you all concerning the water-works, I believe, cousin? 'All, my lord.
What a reunion after all these years!" "Where are they living in Chicago?" "You would know better than I, for think of it! I have never been east of the Missouri since my babyhood," answers Wing. "Fan writes that her aunt has a lovely house on what they call the North Side, near the great water-works at the lake front." "I know the neighborhood well," says Drummond.
