PURIFICATION AND SOFTENING OF WATER.—By
means of a union of chemical and mechanical processes,
patented by Mr. Horsley of Ryde, Isle of Wight, chemist,
it is proposed not only to purify water as in filtration,
bat to soften it by the withdrawal of its sulphates or
other " hardening" salts, if not also to deprive it of all
animal or vegetable impregnation, and thus to render it
wholesome for human and animal use, and economical
and useful for domestic purposes and for many processes
of art and manufacture, as well as for the prevention of
incrucaration in steam and stove boilers, which arises
chiefly from the deposit of the sulphate of lime
tht

d uartitnegr
the evaporation of the water into steam. For
sulphuric
acid into
the boiler and became decomposed purpose, we remember, a patent was some time since
taken out, under which sal-
the incrustation uniting ammsedn, thiaeewasinserted i
with the ammonia of the sal-
ammoniac, and its lime
i with the muriatic acid forming
may be by some
a very deliquescent salt n place of the incrustation. It
combination of an analagous process
desirable, a very im-
, the idea is
with the other means alluded to that M. r. llorsley's pa-
tent operates. And at all events
portant one, and its realization most especially
b
in localities where there is good reason to eve that
calculous and other diseases are generated by bard or
impure water.—Builder.
EAGLE SHOT.—As Mr. Allan Maclean, Lord Mac-
donald's gamekeeper, at North Uist, was taking his
round at South Lee, on the 12th instant, ho shot a large
eagle, of the white tailed tribe, as she was flying off the
nest; and afterwards, though with great difficulty, he
secured her two eggs. The bird measured three feet
nine inches in length, and about eight feet between the
extremities orfopthiteiouwsintogst;heand neigwbeoigurhied ngljocilk.bm.
