A simple method by which the purity Of
water may be tested is the following; \ pint
of water is to be placed in n clean bottle per
icCtly clear, and a lump about the size of - pea
of the purcst and whltest oatSugar is to be
dropped into it, The bottle is then to be laid
on a sheet Of paper and exposed to the sun on
shelf or window of the room, and allowed to
remain eight or ten days. If, after time, the
water becomes turbid, it showes that it contains
foreign organic matter, probably resulting
from sewage ntiltration. According to Prof.
Franklin, who suggests the experiment, the
celebration of the water results from the tungoid
growths which are developed by the sugar, and
from traces of phosphorlc acid derived from the
organic matter.
