WATER AT SEATOUN

STJCCESSFTJI/DIVININ'G. It will "bo remembered that after Mr. A. C. Clarke, the professional waterdiviner, Rave his interesting demonstration on Seatoun Heights cn Saturday ftfternoon last, his services wero, engaged by the Miramftir Borough' Council to locate possible sources •of supply. Mr. Clarke traversed a Rood deal of Jiiramar territory oh Monday and Tuesday- last, and hi? work has been crowned with success. Ho has discovered two sure sources of supply on tho hills, and ono reniQixablo "centre heid," which lie says >is the biggest souroo of supply ho has ever "divined" in Now Zealand, *nd should -give off something like a Quarter of a. million gallons a day—more than enough to supply the whole of Miranmr Borough for a very lons time to come. Lno spot has not yet been divulged, but it is said to bo on'the flat of Seatoun. If tho. supply turns out to be anything like the ''"■usher" Mr. Clarke promises, it should be, a great And for Miraraar (which now purchases its water from tho Wellington City Council), for it will only mean pumpir" it up to a sen-ice reservoir on high hills adjacent, when a gravity or high pressure supply could bo ensured practically to every resident of the borough. Incidentally, Mr. Clarke located the old Maori spring in the Worser Bay School playgrounds without having previously blown of-its existence. This spring was tit 0110 timo a valued ndjunct to a big fortified Maori puk on the' hill above Worser Bay, and in order, that the holders should not perish of thirst if besieged, the palisading was extended from the" pah proper to the spring. Wells will be snnk at once to test the fidelitv of Mr. Clarke's divinations.
