faith in all of them. DR.. Tanner shows this
by reference to the investigation conducted
by Professor J. w. Malet for the National
Board of Health some years ago, with which he
was connected. Nineteen samples Of natural
water, believed from actual use to be whole
some, were examined by these processes They
agreed that ten were potable, and three were
not. but as TO six or 0ne-thrd of the number,
they disagreed totally. Then nineteen samples
were taken of natural waters which there
seemed to be fair grounds for believing have
actually caused diseasev But only four OF
these were rejected as unwhoesomc, as to nine,
or one-half, there was no agreement, and SIX,
or one-thrd were pronounced wholesome by
all the processes. Then twenty samples were
taken of natural water of doubtful but sus-
pected character, and as to these the results
were really more unfavorabe than as to the
waters known TO be dangerous. The most re-
markablo Of all the tests were with twenty
samples Of good water, to which were added
various polutions, such as sewage from various
sources, black vomit, and like offensive and
poisonous substances. Only eight Of these
samples, less than half were condemned by
agree, and three the processes actually con-
CURED in pronouncing good Water to which
enough of weak mixed sewage from large
public sewer had been added to create, it was
believed, serious danger Of typhoid was pro-
nounced to be of "great organic purity by
two ,rocc os and "good' by the third a
larger az re Of the same sewage, as much
as per cent, was pronounced of " medium"
quality by two processes, and "bad" by only
one. Even more striking examples could be
given. Yet the same processes condemned as
impure the Lake Drummond water from the
Dismal Swamp, which is in part the water sup
ply of Portsmouth, Va, and the Cochitga;e Of
Boston, simply because of the presence Of
vegetable matter contributed by leaves, roots,
etc.
Enough has been said to prove that we can
not trust implicitly to the accepted tests for
protection against infection through water.

FIRST FRUITS FROM MT HANILTON

We take special pleasure in publishing this
morning n letter from the director Of the Lick
Observatory, describing the general character
Of the work done during the brief period since
the equipment and the staff became ready for
orderly employment, and noting some Of the
more interesting and suggestive results thus
far obtained No detail Of the revelations
which the great telescope on Mt. Hamilton
will make TO the slilful observers in charge Of
il can fail to excite the eager interest OF as
tronomers, but in his letter on another pago
the director has set down nothing beyond the
comprehension Of the general reader
Professor Holden has amply justified the ex-
pcctations formed OF his zeal, skill and dis
cretior aud it is already apparent that the
splenfd instrument which has been placed
in as b..rds will prove TO be Of surprising
value +, astronomical science. He and his rs
'lant, are undoubtedly eXpectant Of wonder
fol diso, cries, but they will not permit their
enthusiasm to run away with ihcm. They are
profoundly conscious Of the Oh iGadon which
thor opportunities impose. That is tle spirit

with free and open mind, Just AZ II we were
seeing it for the first time"
Perbaps the most significant illustration OF
what the instrument thus employed may ac-
complish is furnished by the discovery that the
so-called continent Lbya, on the surface Of
tho planet Mars, still exists in its accustomed
state and has so existed at least since July 10,
whereas the observations Of NJ. Perf9tlh IN
April last led him to announce that 1t had been
completely submerged, and this announcement
has been the cause Of far-reaching speculations
ever since. An English astronomer defined
Libya in its normal state so early as May Z,
Flammarion, of Paris confirmed this observa-
ton on June 2, and now the Lick telescope
completes the record mp to the present time.
The disappearance Of Libya in April last and
its temperance by May would have been
an extraordinary fact, but Professor lIoldcns
inference is " that the dissertations observed
by NJ Perrotin were something in the nature
of yelling by clouds rather than the terrific
catastrophe Of the submcrgence of continent"
A beautiful feature of the work to be accom-
plshed on Mt. Hamilton and enc which will
convey to nscientfo minds the most vivid
impression of the results of that work, IS seen
in the revelations of the great Photographic
lens of thirty-threc inches aperture, by means
of which some exquisite pictures of the moon
have already been obtained. The director
deprecates the impression that the observatory
has been completed, while as yet its capabilities
In many directions have not been tested, but
he is able TO say that he sees his way out OF
oVorv difficulty vot remaining.

DPINKING WATER TESTS.

We are giving more and more attention IA
the purity of drinking water as it becomes
more apparent that infection of almost every
kind travels by water. 1t becomes of the high
est importance TO know whether the tests usual
" resorted TO for the detection Of organic i'm
purities are Trustworthy. If dangerous I'M
purities slip past these tests, they aii ord no
protection against the transmission of disease
germs. "The Sanitarian'' prints a paper by
DR.. j. A. Tanner Of Boston, giving results Of
some Of his experiments in this direction, which
may almost be called startling.
Dr. Tanner declares boldly that the chemical
processes relied upon for testing water are " as
apt to condemn good water as they are to
commend it, and to commend an impure water
when they should condemn it," and his state
ments 60 far to support his thcor For ex-
ample, if per cent Of milk or ahy beef ex-
tract be added 20 gallon Of distilled water the
processes viii condemn il as impure because
il contains organic matter Add few million
Of disease germs to gallon Of distilled water
and none Of the processes VIII discover them,
because the quantity Of organic matter is not
large enough. Yet the one mixture IS entirely
harmless and the other if we accept the germ
theory, is dangerous. The combustion process
relies upon the proportions found Of carbon
and nitrogen; the ammonia process upon the
presence Of free ammonia and albumod am
mOnia; the pcfmanganate process upon the
amount Of oxygen required TO oXdizc the or
ganic matter. All Of these tests are extremely
delicate and a slight inaccuracy is enough to
IL
the opposite
The fact that they disagree wildly in their
results with the same water is enough TO shake

As speculation the idea suggested in our
