Hard and Soft Water.

You often hear of water for household
Purposes being called "hardo and
tssofe.'' The reason why some waters,
especially spring-water, are s'hard''
is owing to the mineral matters dissolved
in them. Rain-water is never ''hard,"
because it is nearly free of solid matter.
The reason You had such an uncomfort-
able wash and shave this anof ming at
your friends house was owing to the
water being largely charged with lime
and inagnesia. When the soap is rub
bed between the palms in water of this
description, the stearic acid in the oil of
the soap combines with the lime and
magnesia, and forms compounds which
the water cannot dissolve; and hence
thesprovoking curdiness you observed.
For The lather to be a perfect one, COM
plete solution of the constituents of the
soap must take place, and in pure water
this would be the case. But some waters
are permanently hard, while some are
only temporarily so. Permanent hard
nessis caused when the water is charged
with sulphate of lime and magnesia, and
temporary hardness by carbonates Of
lime and magnesia. Pure water dissolves
the sulphates, but not the carbonates.
Then how do the carbonates come to be
in the water at allie The reason is this:
All natural waters, but especially spring
and well water, contain more or less free
carbonic-aeid gas in state or absorp-
tion,- and, when thus charged, are capa-
BILE sof dissolving the carbonates; but
whenever this gas is expelled from the
water, say by boiling it, the carbonates
are at once deposited; and this accounts
for the incrustation in the kettle; and
when this takes place the water becomes
quite SOFT. The boiling does not affect
the sulphatesi to any degree in this way
in water that is permanently .shard.n
Temporarily hard water can be made
soft by more means than boiling alone.
If a tubful of it at night be stirred up
with little ssslaked" lime and allowed
: to settle, in the morning there will be a
white deposit at the bottom of the tub,
land the water will be found to be quite
sssoft," because the lime added will
lcombine with the free carbonic-acid gas
in the water, and the whole of the
carbonates will become deposited, in
virtue of their insolubility in water with
out this gas.
For drinking purposes, rain-water.
after being passed through a charcoal
filter, to remove the organic matter it
contains, is the most wholesome for
adults. The general objection is its
-tastelessness. A pinch of salt will
remedv'this. For tho 'spung, however,
solid matter in thewater, the right kind,
such as lime and magnesia. is good, as
these go to build up the bony structures
of the child. Chambers Journal.

The Chronometer.

Inh714 the British Government au-
tho{zed its Board of Longitude to offer
rewards of Flo, 900, f15, 900 and Ego, 600
sterling to any one VINO should construct
chronometers that would determine the
longitude within sixty, forty and thirty
miles respectively, This stimulated the
inventive genius of John Harrison, and
in 1735 he brought to the Board a
watch, which he also showed to HALEY:
the Astronomer Royal; to Graham, the
celebrated instrument maker, and to
others. Through their influence he was
allowed to proceed in Governments
vessel to Lisbon to test it, ard the result
was so satisfactory that, the Board gave
him $500 to carry out further improve
ments, Harrison worked at the subject
with the utmost perseverance, and after
making several watches went to Lon
don Id lT61 with one which he consid-
cred very perfect. His son, William
Harrison, was sent on a voyage to Ja-
maiea to test it, and on his return to
Portsmouth, in 1852, the watch
was, found to have lost only one
minute, fifty-four and a half seconds.
This was surprisingly accurate, as it
determined the longitude within eighteen
miles, and Harrison claimed the full re-
ward Of 100000 sterling. After some
further trials, 10000 of it was paid to
him in 1765,. and the remainder in 1867,
after he had written such description
of his invention as would enable other
artists to copy it-N.eT. Herald. =

er Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed andearried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle. with per-
feet restoration of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the owels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
