two holes, one for the end of the pipe, the other to 
put in water as occafion requires, without taking 
off the lid. It muff be well obferved, that the end of 
the pipe is not put more than 2 or 3 inches within

heads taken out, and in each fide a round hole cut, 
of about 3 inches diameter, for the pipe B to pafs
