IMPURE WATER" Sct pitcher OF
water in q room, and in a few hours it
will have absorbed nearly all the respir-
cd and perspired gases in the room,
the air of which will have become pur-
CT, but the water will be utterly filthy.
The colder the water is, the greater its
capacity to contain these gases. At
ordinary temperatures, it will absorb q
pint of carbonic acid gas, and q large
quantity Of ammonia. This capacity is
nearly doubled by reducing the water
to the temperature of ice. Hence wa
ter kept in . room for q while is always
unfit for use. For the same reason the
water in pump stock should always
be pumped out in the morning, before
any is used. Impure water is more IN
furious than impure air."
