Drinking Impure Wnter.

Set II pitcher Of iccd water IN II
room inhabitcd, and in few hours
it will have absorbed nearly all the
pcrspircd gases of the room, the
air of which will have become
purcr, but the water utterly filthy,
This depends on the fact that wa
ter has the faculty of condensing
and thereby absorbing nearly al!
the gases, which it does without
increasing its own bulk. The cold
CIR the water is, the greater its ca
pacity to contain these gases. AT
ordinary temperature, pint of
water will contain u pint of car
bonic acid gas and several pints
of ammonia. This capacity is
nearly doubled by reducing the
temperature to that of ice. Hence
water kept in a room II while is al
ways unfit for ucc, and should be
often removed, whether it has be
come warm or not. And for the
same reason the water in a pump
should be pumped out in the
morning before any is used. That
which has stood in a pitcher over
night is not fit for coffee water in
the morning. Impure water is
more injurious to health than i'm
pure air, and every person should
provide the means of obtaining
fresh, pure water for all domestic
uses,
