Fresh Water on Sims.

Voyages in ships fitted with distilling ape
paratus are assured against privatiops from
thirst, but il is still desirable to discover
some means Of making sea water potable
BY eimpler means. A ships boat can
scarcely be fitted with the requisite sppsrs-
ratus, although even that should not be i'm
possible. Chemistry should, however, be
equal to the task Of eliminating or neutral
izing the salt in the water and to Mr..
Thomss Kay, president Of the Stockport
Natural History Society, il due the merit
Of making search for the solution OF the
problem. He proposes to remove the chic.
rides from sea water By the agency OF cit
rate Of silver. The process is based on the
fact that when q soluble silver salt aud q
soluble chloride are mixed chloride OF sil.
yer separates and falls as q white, curdy
precipitste, which IL quite insoluble. This
fehloride Of silver il familisrlv known az
horn silver. The citrate OF silver gives up
its acid to the soda and other slkslis in the
sea water, so that what remains is a solu-
ton Of citrate OF soda chiefly. This salt Is
said to be not only harmless but beneficial.
The quantity Of citrate Of silver required
is two ounces for every pint Of sea water.
Mr.. Kay proposes that bottles Of the citrite
Of silver should be secured in the life boats
Of ships and used when absolutely required

supplying the citrate Of silver is an objec-
ton unworthy OF consideration.

In the year 1869 the Bastile was built

who was called from his home by hired
ruillans viO represented that n poor
woman was bleeding to death but n short
distance away. The young man kissed
his pretty wife, hastily picked up his
case of Instruments and departed on his
errand Of mercy. The unfortunate man
was thrown intOa lower dungeon Of the
Bastile and never saw his loved one
again. lie was discovered by the mob
who had broken down the strong doors
and overcome the guards and keepers Of
this living tomb In the year l7S9. The
wrecked man had been imprisoned 90
years when found, and rom young ac-
tive man had become complete human
wreck. As his liberntors burst open
he door Of his dungeon, the poor man
cried piteously that they should not
murder him, ana as they gathered
around him he continually begged them
TO 90 away that he wanted to be left
alone, that the light hurt his eyes. The
Mortified spectators noticed that the
walls were covered with vermin, and in
places red marks which on close scru-
Jury proved to he blood. A most horr-
pie stenuh perVAded the place, and they
were hurrying TO get out when one Of
them discovered some characters on the

tits Still Going Up.

While the difference in the price of
water between that charged private CON
sumers and the city is that OF cents to
$3.50, yet the cents is an outrageous ex-
tortion compared with that paid in other
cities. And even this extortion is be-
coming greater and greater all the time.
Whenever consumer has the temerity
to demonstrate, he is Immediately threat
ened with further rise in the charge.
When Sam Maverick first put water into
his dwelling he paid S25ayear; but soon
an advance was demanded, until il has
now reached $50 for the house proppr
without the closet, which he had when
he first began taking water, and for
sprinkling yard, etc, 5000. making the
aggregate of 5000 Il year for water for
the use of n private family,
Mr.. Maverick is putting n hydraulic
elevator into his new building corner OF
Alamo plaza and Houston street, but
owing to the very eXhorli ant rates that
the Water Works company wants, he
Will put in a steam pump and erect n
tank on the top of the building, which
Will answer the purpose admirably, and
be much cheaper. The Water Works
company gets $50 month for the eleva-
tor In the kampmanE building, but
wants more from Mr.. Maverick. There
appears to be no limit to the ayarice of
this corporation.

A Bucking Mule.

Yesterday evening considerable
amusement was created on South Flores
street, Mexican and bucking mule
figuring prominently. The mule was
attached to cart in which was seated
Mexican, the animal getting FESTIVE and
desiring to free itself from all restraint,
commenced kicking furiously until he
had shaken all the harness of his back.
The Mexican proved equal to the ocea-
sion aud maintained his seat in the We
hole. No sooner had the mule freed
himself than the Mexican jumped on the
mules back and sat upon II solid as rock.
This unexpected move completely took
away the mules presence Of mind, and
he allowed his excess of exuberance to
quickly subside.
