THE Philadelphia Times publishes an
interesting letter showing that the water
of artesian wells is not fit to drink. There
| IS an arteslan well AT Reading 2,UUO leel
deep, costing $4,000, which contains
| fOrty-seven grains of epson salt to the
| gallon. An artesian we'll at Fifth and
Cherry streets, Philadelphia, contains III
grains of foreign matter TO the gallon, and
can only be used to condense steam fol
the boiler. An artesian well in South
street furnishes water not fit for steam. Al
Seventh street and Passyunk road there
| arp two ortaSian wells each 100 feet deem
but the water of both is so impure that i
can only be used for condensing. The
water of the well at the Continental Hote
is not pure. At Louisville there is wei
2,649 feet deep, one in st. Louis 2,0SG fee
deep, one in South Bend, and one in TerrC
Haute, but the water of them all is i'm
pregnated with minerals, and fit only fol
medicinal uses. At Atlantic City a nun
ber of wells have been bored in the hop,
of getting pure water, but not one yield
water fit for household use.
