EDUCATIONAL.
Bad Water.

In recent report to the Board
of Eduration. some predictions
were made respecting impurities
which, with a good microscope,
might hc found in the water used
in the various ward schools.
Since then n microscopic exam
ination of the water used in these
schools has heen made, and the re-
snlts scarcely fall short Of the pre-
diction.
All the water examined was ia
ken from the pals in the school
rooms-iust as they happened to
be Mt the time.
At Campbellville the water was
drawn from n shallow well and was,
rs n matter of course, all surface
water. The microscope used was
of moderate power, 100 diameters
only, and yet in the very first drop
examined there were between 30
and sou animals plainly visible. As
the microscope covered only 1-SOO
of a square inch at a time o'
course comparatively few could he
seen at once, and yet at one time
not less than Is living creatures
were visible at once. Nearly al
were of one species, the amoeba
and yet two other kinds were seen
One kind measured 3-400 OF ar
inch in length and was shaped like
J ones thumb, while the amoeha i
nearly glohular, and measured from
800 to 1-4000 Of an inch in dia
meter. More careful examination
of other drops, showed that the
average number Of living creatures
visible through that microscope wa
about 500 for each drop. In a tea
spoonfnl there are about 40 drops
!, and in a glassful perhaps so tea
. spoonfnls. Now, 500 times A
y times so equals 100000. Thi
then. is the en- ,rmous number o
living creatures those children a

ask something about the lesson,
mods, when she hears the following !:
"Mary says your hair is false, and
YOU wouldn't dare to do it here"
The first thing Is to make your
sermon very plain. Mr.. Bloomfield
preached on the text, "The fool
have said in his heart, There is
no God" Wishing to find out
how it pleased his people, he called
a poor foolish man to the pulpit
and asked him how he liked
the sermon. The reply, which
made Bloomfield a sadder and a
wiser man, was "Well, sir, | must
say that / can't agree with you -
In spite of all you've said, / think
there must he God"

down through the sand as shot
could run through a basket OF
oranges; but what was lacking in
size was made up in number. 1t
is O great mistake to suppose that
sand will filter out the impurities
from these shallow wells. The
smallest particle of sand found,
measured 1000 OF All inch long,
while the average was fully four
times as long, and a thousand times
as large, at least, as most Of the an
imals and particles Of vegetable
matter.
The water at the Third ward
contained all the different kinds OF
animals found at Campbellville and
also large numbers Of long, white
worms shaped like an angleworm,
being found 10 a single drop. I'm
der the glass they appeared from
three to four inches long and half
as large around as a lead pencil,
hence their length must be about
1-30 of an inch. Held up to the
light in the bottle, they were visi-
ble to the naked eye. The well
from which this water was taken is
5 or 10 feet deep, and is only two
or three rods from vault and also
a stable. The impurities from these
of course easily filter down into
the well, and poison the water, and
a chemical test would undoubtedly
show large quantities of ammonia
and nitrates. But enough has been
discovered to satisfy the most fasti-
dious.
The water at the Second ward
near the Jail, contained consider.
able vegetable matter, not muct
decayed, and no animals whatever
were discovered. This water was
therefore pretty good, If one enjoys
the taste of the harmless minerals
which II contains. 1t comes from
"hored WELL"
One need scarcely write a com
,nentary on the water of these shall
low wells, if those Mt Campbellvillt
and the Third ward are fair speci
mems. One may have a "diet o
worms" in his own house every
day if he likes, hut he certainl,
can not enjoy that luxury withou
great danger. Boiling the wate
will he some help, but the dea'
carcasses and rottenness still re
main. This water is totally uni
for drinking purposes whatever
and those who use it unfiltered
especially when the wells are sitn
ated near out buildings or stables
are sowing the seeds of disease a
every draft they drink, and sum
mer complaint and fevers will al
most certainly be the penalty.

From Yesterdays Second Edition.
Second Night of the Loan Exhibition
A good attendance was attracted
again last night to examine the many
valuable and interesting collections of
art, relics of antiquity, etc, gathered
together at the loan exhibition given
by The ladies of st. Johns Church TO
raise money for furnishing their
church with carpet, and the evening
was very pleasantly spent.
There have been number Of add
tions since the first night, many OF
thsm very interesting indeed. Prom
inent among these new additions was
very Anticipated portrait of Moses
together with the fifth chapter OF the
book ofMoses in the Hebrew language.
This is the property Of Mr.. a. Loben-
stein, and attTa cted as much attention
as anything in the exhibition. Mr..
Lobenstein contributed also number
of other interesting relics.
Another very valuable and attractive
collection of antiquities was furnished
by Prof. w. G. McAdoo from his large
store of articles of this kind. They
formed an interesting study. In the
art department, Col. s. II. Lockett de-
serves special mention for the very
large collection furnished from his art
studio, most of them the work Of
his own hands, and very
fine indet d. Others were far
nished by Messrs. Mead, Goodrich,
and others, altogether making a col
lection of arts rarely to be excelled.
The whole exhibition, for the time in
which il was gotten up, is indeed eX-
cellent, and has but to be seen to be
appreciated. We are confident that if
our readers knew what was to be seen
| they would not allow the opportunity
| to slip.
The festival department was again
in full blast, and was literally patron
lied. The ladies have concluded to
open the exhibition again at 10
o'clock this morning and again to-
night, and if the atten dance warrants
every day and night during the week.
The festival feature will not be kept
up, bat some refrshments, ice cream,
ETC., can be had at any time to order.
We hope to see continuation and an
increase in the patronage.
An entirely new feature, of I'M
equaled interest and attractiyeness
will be added tonight, Come and see.
