Purifying Water With Alum.

Those of our readers who have
Travelled on the Mississippi river know
how turbid the water is, and they may
have seen people tie bit of alum to a
thread, let it down into a tumbler of
water, and swing it about little, af-
ter which operation the liquid be-
comes as clear as crystal. Recently
the matter has been carefully exam
ined into and reported upon by Profs.
P. L. Austen and f. A. Wilder, of
Rutgers college. In their experiments,
| two tenths of a grain to the liter Zone
and one-fifths grains to the gallon)
caused the settling of the impurities
| in the New Brunswick, N. j., water.
Double this quantity may well be used.
as rule. This amount of alum is too
small to be perceptible to the taste, or
to exert any physiological action.
The alumun may be used in clarifying
water by filtration. If very small
amount be added to turbid water it
can be filtered through ordinary pa
per without difficulty, and yields
brilliantly clear filtrate, in which there
is no trace of suspended matter. 1t is
not necessary to let it stand before fill
tration, as the action of the alum is
immediate. The simplest form of fl
ter for considerable quantities of wat
er is tube, one end of which is stuffed
with cotton. A drain-pipe is the best,
as 1t can be SO easily cleansed. The
plug of cotton should be two or three
inches thick, and may be kept in place
by a ring of wood fitted into the bot
tom of the pipe. For household pur-
poses, a glass funnel may be used, or
filter may be made by cutting off the
bottom of glass flask or other bot
tie. The neck of the funnel or bottle
is to be plugged with cotton, which
should first be worked in warm water
to remove the adhering air, and to wet
it well. 1t should be packed in qnite
closely, little at a time, until it
forms a layer two or three inches
thick. To insure accuracy in the
amount of alum used it is best to
make solution of half an ounce of
alum to quart of water. Dissolve
the alum in a cup of boiling water,
pour this into q quart measure, and
ill up with cold water. Keep in
properly labeled bottle. Fifty-four
drops of this solution, or scant tea
spoonful will contain two and three
tenths grains of alum, which is the |
quantity for gallon of water. 1t is
not important to be very exact. as |
twice the quantity would be harmless
enough. Analysis shows that the
water is not only clarified but purified
by this process, the greater part of the
organic matter being removed from
it.-Popular Science NewS.

No Choice Where There Was Copper.

"There was curious feature of the
outbreak of cholera in 1S49 that has
not been referred to in recent years, ~
physician said recently. 1T was
observed that no workmen engaged in
copper mines or in manufacturing any
sort of article out of copper, or in
handling copper ore was afflicted with
cholera. NJ. Andrand demonstrated
that there was much less electricity
in the air in those parts of Paris where
the cholera ragged most fearfully than
in the other parts of the city. The two
discoveries were put together, and it
was inferred that the galvanic action
generated by the copper acted as a
preventative. 1t may be that the cop
per absorbed into the system of the
workmen served as an antidote. At
any rate, the action of copper in allie
waiting some kind of cramps is we'll
known, and there will be no harm in
wearing strips of clean copper or of
copper and zinc next to the body, as
has been recommended by the English
physician. "-New York San.

ILLINOIS DEADLOCK.
The Question Of the Speakership Still
Unsettled.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Jan. l6.
Upon assembling of the House this morn
ing Haines, who was elected temporary
speaker. but who declares himself perm
anent speaker, said he had constitutional
duty to perform and in the pursuance of it
would instruct the door keeper to notify the
Senate that the House was regularly organ
lied and would proceed at 10 o'clock this
forenoon to canvass the returns of the State
officers.
Fuller, rep, moved that the House direct
the door keeper not to convey the communi-
cation.
Haines ruled the motion out of order, and
Fuller appealed from the decision of the
chair.
West, dem, said the paper signed by
Hai1es as speaker was an illegal document.
If Haines wanted revolution he (West) was
in favor of opposing him by a revolution.
Haines should proceed to the permanent org
aniZation and save the taxes of the people.
Haines called Crafts to the chair, and said
if he had done wrong the pententiary was
open for him. He said Gov. Hamilton had
threatened to prorogue the legislature if the
House adjourned over until Monday.
Gov. Hamilton denies having made the
statement credited to him by Haines.
