...long been known that there was abundant water underlying the Sahara Desert, for artesian wells sunk at many points in the great waste, both by the French authorities and by natives, have invariably proved productive. Now, marine life has been found in water drawn from some of these wells-small crabs, fish and shellfish. They are not blind or otherwise abnormally evolved to meet subterranean conditions, as are some of the animals found in Mammoth Cave. But they belong to normal surface species known to inhabit the lakes of Palestine. The excavators are puzzled, but advance the theory that...
...pool, which has also been renovated. The water heretofore has been so full of iron that, on standing for a time in the pool, it became murky. This trouble has been repaired by arranging to connect the swimming pool pipes with some Cambridge water instead of with the old artesian well water. This water will be heated by the plant in Dunster...

It was to be in Pompeiian style, to measure seventy-five by thirty feet, with over fourteen feet bead room; to be ventilated artificially; to have an artesian well, and a filtering system; and to seat five hundred spectators. The estimated cost was $16,000, and only $6,000 remained to be raised, provided the gymnasium fund could be secured...
Concerning bacteria in the water, proper precaution would be assured by the filter and artesian well system, with the use of copper sulphate. The copper sulphate is a small item, as about four pounds in solution in the pool would suffice. The situation of the pool and its lack of sunlight would not affect the presence of bacteria materially...
...authorities of the Association have expressed a desire to commemorate the participation of members of the University in this undertaking by associating their gifts with the new building in some permanent way. It is understood that the swimming-tank, already included in the plans, with its artesian well and other accessories, would be very acceptable to the Building Committee as the gift of Harvard men, and it is known that this feature of the new building is eagerly desired by the young men and boys of Cambridge. The total cost of this equipment is estimated at $10,000. The undersigned...
