Science.

was found 20 be made of the following compon-
ents: Animal excreta in large quantity, epithe-
hum from animal tissues, putrefactiYe bacteria
in swarms, hagellata vegetable debris, and
CRYSTALS.
Second-Sample ''B. taken at the schindery.
was found to contain Animal excreta in very
large proportion, epithelium from organized
tissues, fagellata, vegetable cells, putrefactive
bacteria in swarms, Ova OF probably entozoa
several species of microscopic round worms
one of which bears considerable resemblance
TO trichina spiralis, and finally bacili which, so
far as we may judge by the application of re-
liable tests, appear to fill the description Of
typhoid and of tubercle germs-the whole
forming singularly horrible and dangerous
mixture.
Tnird-The sample labeled &c" taken
from Becks run, below the schindery
contained sediment similar in color and guam
tity to that found in the sample from above the
run, and was found upon analysis to be COM
posed as follows: Animal excreta in large ex>
cess. a part similar in density to that from the
schindery the remainder identical with that
found above the schindery in the run; putre-
factive bacteria In large numbers epithelium
from animal tissues bacilli which, under a one
tenth Spenser objective, were found to corre-
spond closely with typhoid and tubercle germs,
and to have taken the special stains appropriate
to these species: fagellata, vegetable debris
and crystals of organic origin.
These three samples of water contained in
the bottles placed in the writer's hands, to
have an analysis made Of them, are faithful
representations of the condition of the water
in Becks run, and of the character of the i'm
purities in solution in that stream, which are
carried on to contaminate the Monongahela
river. The sample gotten at the schIndery
affords a telling and horrible illustration of
the kind of c0ntanlinatlons that our drink
water is polluted with.
GERMS OF DISEASES.
Whether the quantity of foul organic matter
at the schindery be great or small, if it is per-
mitted TO lie undisturbed it soon becomes the
breeding place Of eutozoa, the source Of poison
Gus exhalations, and the faithful habitat of
those most dangerous of all forms of micro
scopie life, the bacilH Of typhoid fever and
consumption.i
1t is q matter, therefore, of little moment

his REPORT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

The DISPATCH presents its readers this
morning with plain, uncolored representa-
ton of the condition of Beck's run water,
with its contribution from Mr.. Anthony
Soulier's schindery, and the effect it has on
the water which the Southside people are
compelled to use from day to day. Three
weeks ago reporter visited the schindery
for the purpose of making thorough in
vestigation Of the place and its surround
ings. He took with him three bottles,
which had been previously rinsed with dis
titled water to avoid the possibility of there
being any impurities in them. In these he
secured three samples of water-one from
Beck's run, % PAGES above the schindery,
one from the liquid matter which found its
wav to Beck's run from huge pile of
refuse at the schindery, and the third from
the run, % PAGES below the schindery.
WHY IT WAS DONE.
This mission was purely in the interest of
the public health and the owner of the
schindery. Much had been said about the
establishment being a nuisance and the cry
of persecution was raised. THE DISPATCH
entered into an investigation, so that in case
it could be established that Beck's run did
not contribute contamination to the Monon-
