JTTHE question of water supply from sources other 

 than those on the surface has come to the front 

 very much of late years, and consequently the 

 art of deep boring has made immense strides 

 during the last quarter of a century. Few per- 

 sons are aware, perhaps, of the number of deep 

 wells in the Thames basin, although many of 

 these are of old standing, and have supplied the 

 leading London breweries for a lengthened period. 

 Quite recently an extensive literature on the subject has sprung 

 up, and last year the Geological Survey published important 

 memoirs relating to the Water Supply from " underground 

 sources."
