TIE HISTORY OF SODA WATER
Soda water is simply pure water i'm
pregnated with carbonic acid gas. It
is known by its agreeable, pungent
taste, by it's slightly exhilirating qua
lities, and it's bubbling and scintilla-
tion.
The water to be impregnated with
the gas is to be placed in strong
vessel, usually made of iron or copper,
called a fountain. The gas, after
being passed through water to purify
it, is conducted to the fountain, and
after sufficient agitation in contact
with the gas, at a high pressure, the
water becomes impregnated, and is
then what is known as soda water.
The first experiments were made by
Venel, in France, in 1850, and pub
ished in 1776; by Priestly, in I768;
and later, by Bergmad, Black, Van
Helmot and others.
The first manufactory in the world
was established at Geneva, by Gosse,
an apothecary of that city, whose an
nual sales amouted to 40, 600 bottles of
eau de Salts" In 1898, his part
ner, Mr.. Paul, founded an establish
ment in Paris, where were compound
ed not only the principal mineral
waters of France, but even those of
foreign countries. From this time
onward, laboratories multiplied all
over Europe; and the manufacture of
simple agiated water is now con-
Quoted on so large q scale in all civil
ized countries that a very remarkable
amount of inventive talent has been
successfully employed in improving
the necessary apparatus.

And my hearts wi my lassie, though my

And yc'se get blink O. beauty, gin ye my

And it's-ohl wi her to wander far frae the

WHARF the laverock is piping his music in

And the blacibird is pouring his wild notes

Oh! her love is ever true, and her heart is

And her smile to nature's loveliness, it adds

Oh! the gowan's in the glen, and the lly's

Financial.

From the New York Commercial, April 10. |
The news Of Lees surrender has produced 8
general excitement oh the market, but no panic.
We perceive nowhere any yielding Of conf
dence in the permanence OF present values,
and no indications of apprehenSiOnS about the
Immediate or ultimate consequences Of peace.
The approach to peace has been steady, and
the prospect has been so well considered and
provided for that it is felt that the uncertain
ties consequent upon the change to peace are
much less than those we have experienced
during the war. This improved confidence
has produced marked strength in the price
of stocks.
Railroad securities were unusually active
at the board and prices 2ka5 higher than on
Saturday. The clears" appeared COMPOUNDED
at finding such confidence resulting from the
very event upon which they had rallied for
putting down prices; and could make no sue.
cessfnl opposition to the strong combinations
tor q rise.
Governments were very strong Almost no
bonds were offered at the board, and the scar
city was general on the street.
The ''bears," though discouraged by the
present condition Of the market, are yet hope
fnl that matters will take turn strongly in
their favor. 1t is agreed that peace will be
attended by the emigration of large amounts
OF money to the South for the purchase of
cotton, naval stores and tobacco, which it is
said Will create a.scarctty and conssq uent
DEAFNESS of money, discouraging stock specu-
latlon and putting down prices.
This is doubtless natural tendency. com.
paratively remote, however, in its actual ope-
ration; and also subject to material modifica-
ton by possible cont agencies If, for instance,
gold should fall below 49, the purchasing
power OF the currency would be largely in
creased, and we should have virtually so
much more money; which would largely COM
pensate for the withdra wal OF currency to the
South.
Again, the South is in need Of commodities
more than money, and the produce purchased
there will be paid for in goods rather than
money. The trade with the South, indeed,
will be simply an exchange of commodities,
the only currency required being for the retail
transactions, and that want Will not be imme-
diately supplied, and when supplied will be
70 large extent provided for by the forma.
ton of local national banks.
Money continues very abundant and easy at

cent. on Governments. Discounts continue
