MEMPHIS ARTEsIAN WATER.
The Supply of That City Highly Salts
factory

The Medical Nelos says that the new arte-
sian water supply of Memphis, Tenn, is
probably as perfect as that of any city in
this country. According to the bulletin of
the Tennessee State Board of Health, the
supply is practically inexhaustible, such is
the capacity Of the water-bearing sand, and
1t is estimated that however great the
amount Of water used, no impression can be
made on the subterranean river of supply.
1t is assured that clear water, free from ad-
mixture with river water or sur
lace drainage. can always be OBJ
tained. This is rendered probable by
the fact that there is an upward
pressure from the wells to a point that is
higher than the high water mark Of the
Mississippi river. The water, as delivered
from the welsh sparkling and transparent,
and is unaffected by rains or by turbidity
of superficial streams Its fountainhead
must be at a distance of many miles. The
system for gathering. storing and distrib-
uting has been constructed in an unique and
admirable manner, and, from a hygienic
point of view. its Introduction is a blessing
to all concerned, aud the system will be a
model to other cities in the valley of the
Mississippi.
