This condition is overcome by means of the piping shownin the drawing on Plate IX. As will be seen the discharge headof each siphon is connected to the short leg of one of the othertraps. When one siplion operates some of the water flows througjithis pipe and refills the trap to which it is connected. Theremaining siphon having no means of refilling its trap is leftwith a weak seal, and at the next rise of water wil
