CAUSES THAT AFFECT THE CROTON.
EXPLANATION OF THE BAD TASTE AND BAD DOOR

SOMETIMES NOTICED.
The pollution of the aqueduet water in Newark
brings to mind subject that has received much
others and which still remains in unsettled state.
In the case of Newark the bad condition OF the
water has been proved to be the effect of washings
from carbOio paper at mills near the centre OF the
water supply. No snch reason can be assigned to
the peculiar taste of the Croton water during parts
of almost every year. This taste was slightly
Der. In Conversation with Professor Z. Waller, of
the School of Mines, who for several years has
made special study OF this matter IRiBUNE re-
porter learned some curious facts in regard to the
sobiect.
The taste is described by some persons as ishy. by
others as that Of cucumbers and usually affects the
for several weeks varying in intensity with l0cali-
tiles Changes in water resembling this in periodic
occurrence though not always as regards taste and
OdOr have occurred IN other Cities in of which
a cause similar to that assigned at Newark was DIS
covered. The first occurrence OF thus trouble In the
Croton water was in the spring of 1859, when Drs.
TORY aud Chiffon made careful study the water
ard Its sources OF supply In quiet recess OF the
L s1sabt ''i amsns with here and there
larger green spherical cells filled with green seeds,
and others containing yellowish granulated fluid.
The water around these plants was OF grass. green
color instead of the more natural blush green of the
CrOton water. If this was allowed to stand for
few hours, greenish scum rose to its surface. In
1873 and again IN 1874, this same taste and odOr
affected the water for several weeks during the
summer.
in 1876 the trouble again appeared, and DR.. Wal
Ger began bis investigations under the direction of
The Board of Health In his report to the Board as
vet unpublished, DR.. Waller compares his own OBJ
seryations with those of chemists in thirty-fve
other cities where similar trouble has been expert
cnced. Though there Is much to prove that the
0dor in the CrOton water is due to development OF
plant life, the report says it cannot be asserted,
owing to the widely different circumstances of time
and place of its appearance that 1t is always due to
the development of any one form Of plant DR..
Waller said that this affected condition OF the water
was not unhealthy one. and that its disagreeabe
effect could be largely overcome by aeration.

A Iudee Of Character.

A few Of the broad distinctions of
physiognOmy depend on the forms of
the features, but all its nicer shades
have far more to do with expressions;
and in this, indeed. the real character
is often seen where the conformation
of the features seems to contradict it.
There are some general and well-known
rules for the determination of physiog-
nomical character, as far as it has TO
do with the shapes of the features; the
aquiline nose and eye, for instance. be-
long to the heroic class, thick lips to
tho sensual, and thin to the selfish; yet
these may all be liable to many excep-
tions-tlle first certainly are; for Nell
son, Wolfe, Turcnne, an hany other
heroes had nothing of theYeagle physi-
ognomy. 1t is natural to associate
beauty with goodness, and ugliness
with wickedness; and children gener-
ally do this. But an acquaintance with
the world soon shows as that bad and
selfish hearts may be concealed under
the handsomest features. aud the high
est virtues under the homeliest; and
that goodness may even consist with
conformations of face absolutely ugly.
We then begin to look for the charac-
ter in the expression rather than in the
forms of the features, and to distin-
guish assumed expressions from natur-
al ones; and so we go on, and. as we
grow older. become better physiogno-

Stories of Witchcraft.

An old German woman in Cincinnati
has been RECALLING tho En1nfre, of that
city with stories of witchcraft brought
from the old country. Ono man who
had several fine horses had unconscious
ly incurred the displeasure of the
witches, and his valuable equines grew
thin and died. A witch, whose reputa-
ton was not of the best, showed her
temper by drying up cow which had
formerly given two buckets Of milk.
The witch, however, after two or three
weeks, permitted the COW to give milk
as usual.
One woman, rcputed a skillful witch,
cast spell over q cat, md the feline
in turn pursued youth, making noe
trrnal visits to his room while he was
asleep. The poor young man was near
ly choked to death on several nights,
but was not aware OF the nature of his
trouble. Telling his brother, the latter
one night captured the cat, went to a
blacksmith's in the neighborhood, and,
after q good deal of coaxing. induced
the smith to fire up his forge, and fit a
pair of shoes for the cats front feet.
With this accomplished, the young
man, in o jabilant frame of mind, went
home.
The next day It was ascertained that
the witch woman was sick in bed. Tho
youth who had been tormented by the
cat went to see her, and found to his
surprise and joy that in the palm of her
hands were the horseshoes. The witch
said, in sad tone of voice, you've
caught me this time" She begged
piteously to be releasafA. from the
horseshoes, but not um(il she had
agreed to discontinue hsf mischievoua
practices was her appeal granted.

A Bookmaksr's 8 Trick.

A good story was told apropos of a
noble lord who was recently returning
from tho races. In the adjoining COM
partment were eight bookmakers. who.
.'cleaned out" by successive failures,
were travelling without tickets, hoping
by turn of good luck to escape pay
ment. At last one of them, during u
stoppage. hit upon brilliant idea.
Pulling his cap down over his eyes and
buttoning his coat, he went to the car
riage of the noble lord and his friends,
and assuming an official air, collected
their tickets. These he distributed
among his own friends. and on the
train reaching London the noble lord
had narrow escape of seeing himself
and his friends taken into custody for
attempting to defraud the railway COM
pany, for despite their assurances the
officials declined to believe that any
one had been audacious enough TO col
lect these passengers tickets. The
thing was too absurd. It was only by
paying their fare second time that
the noble lord and his friends escaped
from the clutches of the railway SER

home was in Royalston, nine miles dis

Orange, and the brass band took a
barge and went out upon the evening g
of the wedding-day to serenade the
happy pair.
1t was not late when they arrived at
home in Royalston, but darkness
shrouded the house. and seeing a cot
tage brightly lighted a little further on.
they concluded it must be the place
they were in search of !; so they APP
preached noiselessly, in order to sur
prise the happy pair, and, having
formed in front of the honse. struck up
one of their most gay and festive airs.
At the close u gentleman appeared
at the door and asked for the leader.
Visions of ice-cream, pies, and cake,
began to rise before us; but instead
there was a break for the barge. when
the leader rushed back and exclaimed,

The Painlessnsss of Death.


"Painlessly we come. whence we know not
Painlcssly we go, whittier We know notr'
From the earliest period of human
history death has been considered as
necessarily accompanied by pain; so
general is this belief, that the terms
:" death-agony." ''last struggle" !"
"pangs of DEATH" ETC.. have been in
almost universal use in every age and
under all conditions of society.
Nothing could be more erroneous;
the truth is. pain and death seldom go
together-we mean the last moments
of life. OF course, death may be pre-
ceded by weeks or even months of ex-
treme suffering. as occurs during cer-
tain incurable diseases.
Death itself is physiological process.
and like all other animal functions
should be painless. s.-Popular Science
