IMPORTANT INFoRMArtoN.-AS Simple
Afcttodof Protecting Water from the Ac.
ton OF Lead PipcS.--Dingler;s Poly
teehnisehes Journal publishes a simple
method, brought forward by DR..
Schwarz. of Breslau, for preventing
the poisonous influence of lead pipes
on water, by forming on the inside sur.
face of the pipe an insoluble sulphuret
of lead, which has proved so effective
that .after simple Installation mo trace
of lead can be detected in water which
has remained in the pipes for long
time. The operation which is a very
simple one, consists in filling the pipes
with u warm and concentrated solution
OF the SIElphUrot of potassium or sodium.
The solution is left in contact with the
lead for about fifteen minutes. Com
ms My, n solution of sulphur in caustic
soda Will answer the purpose, and
produce practically the same re-
suits. 1t is known that SulphUret OF
lead is the most insoluble OF all com.
pounds of lead, and nature itself pre-
sents an example which justifies the
theory of DR.. Schwarz, since water
extracted from the mine of Galena
does not contain lead, fact which has
occasioned surprise.

THE FIRE AT WASHINGTON, Pa
From Capt. Mccoy, of the Hempfield
Railroad, We learn some additional
particulars of the late fire in Washing
ton. The flames were first discovered
in a frame building occupied in part by
Mr.. Hamilton as law office. 1t is
said that there had been no fire in the
office for two days previously. A por-
ton 9th same building was used as a
residence, and it is now believed that
the fire originated in that part
of the house, from a defective
due. There We're three buildings
destroyed, including the hotel,
and they all belonged to Mrs.
Dacg. Bier entire loss is estimated
at S2O. 600, on which there was an in
surance of about 5000. There was
formerly, we believe, regularly or
eanized fire company or TWO in the
town, supplied with the ordinary APP
paratus, but from some cause the or
has been suffered TO go
down, and the engines and fixtures
have become almost useless. The ex-
perience of Thursday morning Will
be sufficient stimulant to re,
vive the fire department, and such SAD
be aYerted in the future.
