In Judging these results il is to be con-
Sidered that the greater the amount OF am
monia, and especially Of albuminOid am-
monia. the more Objectionable is the watei.
The chlorine is no doubt partly derived
from animal matters, and hence an eNces-
slye quantity OF it is an unfavOrable indica-
ton. Its amount Is not strikingly large in
anv Of these samples. but It i materially
larger in the water OF the creeks than in
the water OF the river. Some authorities
assert that water containing as much a.
900 grain per gallon OF albuminOid ammo
MIA is not lit to drink. IL this be SO, many
Of these waters must be condemned. But
il /, very doubtful il 1t is so. for it is the
quality rather than the quantity OF the im-
Uuritv which is the more important, and
these two conditions are not directly re-
lated TO one another, a small amount OF
some kinds OF organic impurity being far
more Objectionable than large amount OF
other kinds. Still we may take the .0O9
grain OF albumiu0id ammonia aS a cOnyen-
tional standard, and use it very satisfaetO-
rilv to compare these waters with one All
other.
The character OF the sample from the
bydrant is undoubtedly the most i'm
portant OF all, since this represents the
water as actually used. This is the best in
the group, and it is interesting to note the
marked Improvement /! undergoes during
storage by comparing the analysis OF 1t at
its entrance at the pump-house with the
analysis Of 1t at its exit from the hydrants.
This Improvement is due to the subsidence
of the suspended matters, and enforces the
de.irableness OF promoting this process as
much as possible.
IL will be seen that the sample taken
from the river at Rockets is as good d that
taken from the iorebay at the pump-house !;
indeed somewhat better. But this sample
was taken from the middle OF the stream
and near its surface, and perhaps does not
represent the whole body OF water at that
locality. II is. therefore, not iudicious to
draw conclusions from the fact until addi-
tiouaI experiments shall be made.
To further aid in the comparison OF these
waters, append statement showing the
largest amount, the smallest amount. and
the average amount for twelve months oil
free ammonia, slbuminoid ammonia, and
chlorine per gallon in our hydrant water,
as ascertalned by analysis made during

COLUMBUS, o., september 5.-The eXhi-

and Columbus was characterized by dull,
liieless playing on both sides, and the mo-
notony was only relieved by the miserable
work OF Farrell and Bright, new bat

was very wild, and the visitors soon found
out that Bright could throw to second

DR.. TAYLOR TALKS.
In answer to questions. DR.. Taylor said
that he had no fear OF the bad effects from
drinking this water. He said he would put
far ahead Of analysis, whether made by
himself or other chemists, practical results.
No suspicion could be cast upon the James
river water. He had made inquiries from
high medical authorities, and had never
heard the water saddled with the cause OF
disease until lately, when II was claimed
that the malarial complaints were tracesble
10 Il; but those who made the charge could
not by any possible means demonstrate the
truth OF what was asserted by any chemical
test. He, as a chemist, wouldas soon drink
the water we now have rs to drink Il from
the river direct, but as an asthete he would
prefer the river water. There was prac-
ticabIe difference IN the water. You can
see what Is In the canal and on the canal
bank, but you have not seen all that Is In
the river and along Its banks. The Doctor
