Mr.. Hicks watched its working, and
he states that in a perfectly rainless
district, situated almost 100 miles
from any pure water supply, $4,000
inhabitants were well supplied.
The Autofagasto disabling nppara-
tus covered an area OF 5000 metres /;
and 5000 gallons were produced
daily at no other expense than the
wages of the mar in charge and II
attendant. And that was done under
very unfavourable circumstances, for
the natural supply Of water contain
ed 10 per cent. of solid matter. In
our case probably the object of dis
tllling would be merely to free the
water from organic matter. 1t is
certainly a subject of importance 10
the whole community, and we hope
that in thus drawing attention to II
subject which will influence the
health Ct the town we may do some
good.

Pure Water.
From the DemerarG Arg0sy].

Nv
the scarcity of the water supply has
been severely felt. Even at the best
of times, what do we drink but the
washings of our roofs, often contami-
mated by the droppings of carbon
birds, and dust, now acknowledged
to be a great spreader of disease
germs. Anyone who has resided
long in this colony, cannot have fail
ed to remark that after a dry period
the advent of the rainy season is
always marked by much sickness,
principally bowel complaints there
is little doubt that this is caused by
the water.
We have at our doors an abundant
supply of Lamaha water, E(water
of the Lamaha canaD but rightly
OF wrongly it has an evil reputation,
and few people care to battle in it
who can obtain other water. Many
experimentation been made to purify
the Lamahawater. Notablyatthelast
Exhibition, there was shown by Mr..
Francis, fhe Government Chemist,
Lamaha water perfectly purified, Lut
by an expensive chemical process.
That there is no occasion for any
process, and that any one can sup
ply himself with perfectly pure
water can be shown by the following
experiment. Place a soup plate of
Lamaha water in the sun, cover it
with a piece Of glass, one end of
which should be tilted up to give a
slope; the SIM will cause the water
to evoporate On the glass, from which
it will run off perfectly pure and CO.
lourless. Captain Mares of "Challen-
ger" fame has obtained perfectly
pure water in this way from sea
water by solar heat, and he thus
describes the water supply of large
towns in Peru, an almost r%ainleSs
country. This he says is accom-
pIished by means of Il series Of low
glass frames similar TO cucumber
frames, fitted with suitable pipes
for leading the impure water into the
frames, and others to convey away
to the fresh water receiver the con
densed fluid that collects under and
rolls down the glass. Rainlcss dis
tricts are necessarily cloudless. And
though that is not the case here,
we have quite sufficient solar heat
for the purpose of evaporation. In
the latitude of D degrees the sun is
sufficiently powerful ia condenSe, by
its unconcentrated rays, one gallon
of water per day for every square
yard Of glass exposed this of course
can be multiplied to any extent, and
if a large supply is required all that
is necessary is to provide the means
for its distribution. Captain Mares
states that when in the Banamas,-
with a sheet Of glass and an ordina-
ry packing case he obtained a quart
of the purest water daily by condens-
ing sea water; in fact, the produc-
ton of pure water by solar heat is a
subject Of vast Importance, especially
since so much public attention has
been drawn to the propagation of
disease by germs, for it is acknow-
lodged that no filter can be relied on
to purify water from these germs.
George Hicks in a letter to the
nTimesv on this subject states that

Ask that the sailor may stand once more
Where the sweet vile smi es in the cottage door.
