She shall uwcar the jewel OF u ring on her

A former resident Of London has related
to US an incident which occurred in that
city while he resided in il. In certain
quarter Of the city, without sewerage, was
large court, or uncovered area, surround
ed on nll sides by buildings. In the cen
ter Of the court, or area, was a we'll from
which the families in the surrounding
houses obtained water for cooking and
drinking. The water was very clear and
sweet, and acquired notoriety by reason Of
its excellent quality.
After several years an undue amount Of
sickness occurred in the surrounding
houses and Of q character which baiIled the
skill Of the most eminent physicians. The
prevailing disease was fever of n low,
lingering or typhoid character. 1t would
not yield to treatment and the number OF
deaths about the court became so numerous
ms to attract public attention and lead the
authorities TO investigation. All the
dwellings were thoroughly inspected from
cellar to garret, but nothing found to
which the disease could be attributed. The
out.houscs were also found in good condi-
tion. The fearful mortality seemed wrapped
in inpenetrable mystery. TWAS finally yg.
gested to analyize the water all were using
BY the analysis, gascs, OF the most dclcter.

odorlcss ns are the poisoas, arscn c and

effects. They contained the very proper
ties which would produce the peculiar
sickness with which tie surrounding in
habitants were afflicted The posons were
ttken into the system in such minute guam
tions that their effects were imperceplble
at the time and the approaches Of disease
so gradual As to conceal its origin.
Nov, the poisonous gases generated in
the vaults, did not reach the well immedi-
atcly upon the construction and use Of the
former. Iii an accepted theory with those
accustomed to the construction of drains,
that for every foot Of excavation, the earth
will be drained a rod, laiterly. The pcrco-
lation OF the water through the soil, in tho
direction of the excavation, will in time,
form minute or hair.likc channels through
which water from a considerable distance,
