Tho gorge Of Niagara River, below tie

ample Of a valley oroded by water In com.
pact rock yet, comparing equal lengths,
the glaoicr.oroded valley of Yosemite is
a hundred times as large, reckoning the
average width Of the former 900 feet, and
depth 200. But the erosion Of Yosemite
Valley, besides being hundred times
greater, was accomplished In hard granite,
whilo the Niagara was in shaIcs aud lime

now exists, expresses nearly the whole

GEOLOGY AND WATER,

1t cannot be too distinctly understood
that clear water is not necessarily pure
water, any more than cool air is pure air
A city well may give no warning to any
sense. It's waters are rofreshingly cool,
for they come from sufficient depth.
They are clear and sparkling, for they
have been strained through nlter ade-
quate to free them, not only from all
solid particles, but from all color also
they may even give no odor--at least,
those accustomed TO their odor win do
tect none; and yet they may be laden
with the germs OF the deadlicst pestieucc,
Such cases have happened thousand
times. The explosive outbreaks OF
cholera that have often been limited to
single tenements In city, or to single
blocks or streets, are, in the light Of re-
| cent sanitary researches, without doubt
TO be referred to this cause. The sus-
picion of wells poisoned by design, which
has SO often filed a whole community
with an unspeskable and indennable hor.
ror, finds al explanation here which re-
lieves human nature Of one OF the darkest
crimes ever charged to its account, The
addition OF one grain of sewage detile.
ment to the gallon of water-supply, was
found In the cholera epidemic Of 1866, IN
London, TO be directly connected with
seVenty-one per cent OF the whole NOR
tality caused by tho pestilence
| trust you are ready for the conclusion
which geology turns over to sanitary sell
ence, that the drift wells of the country
are, in all densely populated Districts in
all cities, towns villages and hamlets,
even those containing not more than Il
dozen houses utterly unsafe for human
use. | have omitted all mention Of con-
tamination of water from adiecent grave
yards aud cemeteries. In the older c0un-
tries Of the world this has been found to
be prolific source OF evil, and the dan.
ger, nay, the certainty of such contami-
nation is leading many to advocate a re-
turn to cremation, in place Of modern
burial.
Bat you ask. Where shall we look for a
proper watsr-supply1 To wells aud
springs, certainly, | answer, where they
arc properly located, aud, above all,
where they are properly guarded against
doing the vicarious work Of disehsrging

Luck Is q Fortune.

A true story is told of young clerk in
the Treasury Department ut Washington
who is in luck, and whose good fortune
was brought about by an act of polite
ness toward an old Englishman and his
handsome daughter. While the British
High Joint Commission was in session in
Washington, years ago, London mer-
chant came over to watch claim of his
which was before the Commission. He
brought his daughter with him, and the
two had much leisure time on their
hands, which they occupied seeing the
sights in the various public buildings.
One day they called at the Treasury De-
partment, and the clerk referred to
showed them through. He was very po-
lite, probably very much interested, and
made himself a. reeable and useful to the
strangers. He engaged to show them
something or pilot them somewhere else
the next day, and the next and the old
these repeated offers Of kindness. OF
ed, and it is not surprising that there
should have grown up mutual
liking. The young man was well
come visitor at the apartments
of the English strangers b,tween
whites. At length the merchant finished
his business in Washington and he ami
his daughter turned their faces home
ward across the sea, leaving at least one
warm personal friend in America. Some
months since the young clerk res; gned
his position in the department and left
Washington for no one knew where. The
other day he returned with wife and
has been warmly welcomed by his old
friends. The rest Of the story is very
simple and natural He correspondent
with his English friends after they left,
and especially the young lady. One day
he received letter from her stating that
her father had died leaving her all his
fortune and also leaving her very lonely
and heart-broken. The young mans
sympathies were aroused. 1t was his
plain duty to 60 and see her, keep her
company and try and mend her frac ur, i
heart. He took the chances, left his sit
uation, went to London and was soon at
her side. In few months the couple
