In the light of some facts within, our personal knowledge and experience we beg leave to differ. In the island of Bermuds, for instance, there is no such thing as a well, a stream of water, or a system of water- works. The soil is of so porous a nature that not even a puddle exists for more than a quarter of an hour, Yet the difficulty of a water supply is got over. By an ordinance of the Colony no one is allowed to build a bouse without making provision for storing underground a properly consented mud covered tank wherein is collected the whole of the rainfall that falls on those particular premises. This and this only the water supply for a all purposes, and it is suthcient to meet the demands of the Colony. Nor is disease more tifo there than elsewhere.
