A DANGEROUS Water PnE.--Wc have
previously called attention to the dangerous
character ofthe galvanized pipe, when used
for conducting water to be used for Gull
nary purposes. Instances of severe poison.
ing from the use Of this pipe are oontinu-
ally coming to our notice, and hence We are
led opcc more to caution our readers against
it. 1t Is almost crime for dealers and
manufacturers to recommend this zinc COW
cred iron pipe or water conduit, as they
thereby jeopardize the health and perhaps
tho lives of purchaser. Whes this pipe
comes from the hands Of manufacturers, It
has freah, clean appearance; and 10 thoss
who do not understand the nature Of the
the covering, the idea 10 conveyed that II
viii not oxydize or rust, like ordinary iron
pipes. But this 10 IN error It will rust even
more rapidly that clean iron in most locali-
ties. The superficial covering Of zinc is
rapidly decomposed under the influence of
ordinary pond and spring waters; and the
oxydo, carbonate, and chloride Of zinc are
formed, which salts are OF delcterious or
poisonous character. This covering Of zinc
on the interior 10 attacked Immediately
when water 10 allowed to dow through, and
In some instances We have known Il to b
entirely removed in Is hour. The insol.
uble carbonate Of sinc 10 sem TO 1oet upon
the water In The To- ksttla and other water
vessels used In families and this has often
created alarm, where no other suspicion
previeusly existed. We hope the newspspsr
