SODA WATER-Irs HIsroRY.-We
will venture to say, observes the Lynch.
burg (Va.) NeacS, that very few Of our
readers who frequent the soda fountains
know the manner in which this delecta.
bio summer beverage is made. Soda
water is simply pure water impresnated
with carbonc acid gas. 1t is known by
its slightly exhileratng qualities, and
its babbiing and scintilatiop. Tie water
to be impregnated with gas is placed in
a strong vessel, usually made of iron or
copper, called fountain. Tho gas,
after being passed through water to pu.
rifyit, is conducted TO the fountain, and,
after sufficient agitation in contact with
the gas, at high pressure, the water
becomes impregnated, and is then known
as soda water. The first experiments
were made by Venal. in France, in
1850 and published in l776; by Prest-
iy, IN 1898; and, later by Bergman,
Black, Won Heimot and others. The
first mandatory in the world was es.
tab>ished at Geneva, by Goss, an apothe.
cary Of that city, whose annual sales
amoaa,ed to 10000 bottles of EAU de
Selts." In l79o, his partner, Mr.. Paul,
founded an establishment in Paris where
were compounded not only the principle
mineral waters in France, but even
those of foreign countries. From this
time onward laboratories multiplied all
over Europe, and the manufacture Of
simple agrated water is now conducted
on SO large a scale in all civilized coun.
tries that a very large amount ofinven.
