Apropos of the shortage of water at Napier- and Wanganui, it is wterestmg to note that information recently circulated by tho water department of a small -English , .municipality where meters aro used shows the importance or discovering and mending leaks that may occur in a piping system. Jtodera pressure of 401b, it is estimated that m twenty-four hours 170 gallons of water will ■ pass through a hole a shado larger than tho period at the cud of this sentence. An orifice slightly bigger than tho hoad of a pin will permit 3600 gallons to escape in a similar length of time. Thus, ever so slight a- hole jnay cause the wastage of a great volume.of water if it fails to recoive immediate attention. It is easy to test a plumbing system and aicertaifi its condition. This may Do ritno by closing all cocks 'and tben reading tho meter. If/ after a. half •hour or more,-.the meter reads *ho same as originally the pipes are free from leaks.
