of life, but in the case OF young children IL

applied, and the boy soon rallied. 1t was

The best way to examine the color of
a sample of water is to place the liquid
in a long tube closed at each end by a
plate of glass. While one extremity of
the tube is directed to the source of
light, the color is noted at the other. By
using the same tube for a series of water
samples, it will be possible thus to get
properly comparable results.
