Norristown Special in Philadelphia Press. Manuel . de Costa, who resides six miles south of Sacramento on the Riverside Riv-erside road, has built an ingenious machine ma-chine for irrigating his flower garden and his orange and lemon trees. It consists con-sists of a wooden wheel 10 feet in diameter diam-eter and with a rim, or tire, about 2 feet wide. A dog is placed inside the wheel, which is turned by his -weight as he gallops in treadmill fashion. The revolution of the axle turns a crank which operates the handle of a pump set in a dug well. After half an hour's exercise the dog is taken out and a fresh dog put in for another half hour. The dogs seem to enjoy the work, for they bark and wag their tails when they are brought to the wheel. They know that it means something good to eat at the end of the half hour's work. Sacramento Sac-ramento Bee. |
