Hope  Farm  Notes 
(Continued  from  Page  122S) 
I  put  down  aiy  pen  to  think  this  over. 
In  the  next  room  my  children  were  at 
the  piano,  singing  as  if  they  cared  litrle 
for  the  solemn  import  of  birth  and  death. 
Looking  over  their  shoulder  I  lind  they 
were  shouting  some  ridiculous  song  about 
Mr.  Gallagher  and  Mr.  Shean,  as  if  in 
mockery  at  what  I  have  been  thinking 
about  life.  I  read  the  ending  of  the 
chorus. 
Positively  Mister  Gallagher,  absolutely 
Mister  Shean!  H.  w.  C.

Purifying  Well  Water;  Automobile  Fire 
From  Short  Circuit 
1.  What  is  the  best  way  to  purify  water 
in  a  well?  Is  there  any  way  to  make  water 
tasteless?  2.  How  do  automobiles  get  on 
fire  by  short  circuit  from  the  battery.  I 
have  heard  of  a  few  burning  that  way, 
and  v  ould  like  to  know  how  it  can  be 
prevented.  J.,M. 
New  Brunswick,  N.  J. 
1.  The  best  way  to  purify  well  water 
is  to  remove  any  possible  source  of  con 
tamination.  Water  in  a  well  is  not 
stationary ;  while  few  wells  tap  flowing 
streams  cf  underground  water,  the  rise 
and  fall  of  the  “ground  water”  level  and 
the  seeping  into  the  well  of  water  from 
outside  as  pumping  is  done,  as  well  as 
the  slow  movement  of  ground  water  to¬ 
ward  lower  levels,  produce  constant 
changes  in  well  contents.  If  well  water 
has  a  bad  odor  and  taste,  and  is  not  in  a 
locality  where  sulphur  or  other  mineral 
matters  in  underground  rocks  are  known 
to  supply  these,  look  for  some  adjacent 
cesspool  or  vault,  barnyard,  or  other 
source  of  possible  contamination.  At 
low  stages  of  ground  water,  pumping 
brings  into  the  well  water  from  compara¬ 
tively  distant  areas.  Look  also  for  pos¬ 
sible  surface  contamination  through 
leaking  well  covers,  dirty  boots  of  men 
and  soiled  feet  of  animals.  Small  ani¬ 
mals  falling  into  wells  and  decaying 
there  are  sometimes  found,  but  less  often 
than  is  usually  supposed  when  water  ac¬ 
quires  a  bad  odor.  Having  removed  any 
possible  source  of  contamination  that  may 
be  near  by,  pump  the  water  from  the  well 
and  clean  the  bottom.  The  new  supply 
seeping  in  should  be  pure,  but,  if  there 
is  any  reasonable  suspicion  as  to  Its 
wholesomeness,  boil  it  before  drinking;  I 
do  not  know  of  any  practicable  method 
of  removing  taste  and  odor  from  'the  wa¬ 
ter  of  wells  which,  in  times  of  drought, 
acquire  these,  gx-anting  that  there  are  no 
evident  sources  of  pollution. 
2.  I  do  not  know  how  a  short  circuit 
in  the  electric  system  of  an  automobile 
can  set  fire  to  the  car,  unless  arcing  or 
sparking  from  disconnected  ends  of 
broken  or  adjacent  surfaces  of  bared 
wire  set  fire  to  the  inflammable  grease  or 
gasoline  vapor  about  the  machine.  This 
may  be  a  more  or  less  frequent  source  of 
automobile  fires,  but  it  does  not  seem  to 
me  a  very  likely  one.  Undoubtedly,  the 
frequent  explanation  of  fires  as  a  result 
of  “defective  wiring”  is  more  convenient 
than  accurate.  At  the  same  time,  all  the 
wiring  about  a  car  should  be  carefully 
guarded.  A  shor‘  circuit  may  soon  ex¬ 
haust  a  battery,  it  it  does  nothing  more. 
Where  there  is  a  possibility  of  chafing 
removing  the  insulation  from  electric 
wires,  they  should  be  inspected  at  in¬ 
tervals  and  kept  fully  protected.  All 
contacts  should  also  be  kept  clea’i  and 
ught.  Actually  broken  wires  will,  of 
course,  soon  make  their  defect  known  by 
failure  to  function  on  the  part  of  some 
part  of  the  electric  system.  As  with  other 
parts  of  a  modern  motor  car,  failures  to 
operate  properly  are  best  guarded  against 
by  frequent  inspections  and  such  repairs 
or  adjustments  as  art  found  to  be  needed 
The  trouble  with  ihe  average  car  owner 
is  that  he  can  hardly  believe  that  suen  a 
perfect  nu.ciune  ua  a  properly  winking 
car  is  can  need  constant  attention.
