INHABITANTS OF WATER.

Countless Monsters That We Unconscious.
ly Drink.
To the sensitive soul there is scant
Comfort in one of the latest proclama-
tions Of scientists. that we may with
comparative safety drink water in
which there are less than ten new or
straiig. species of bacteria. The pres
ence of more than ten sorts OF unusual
creatures renders The water unfit for
such purposes. 1t must be takeu into
consideration that mention Is not made
of the regular inhabitants, the natives-f
so to speak. but of those so rarely
fottnd rs to be thought strange and un-
common.
A scientist Of tepute tells us that bac-
terra are much more numerous during
the spring, when the stSow and ice of
winter are melting. and tfsf many Oh
these disappear to return only with the
recurrence of melting SHOWS and the
approach of tfawing weather. That
ts..ter is filed with living organisms is
fact so we'll understood that repeti-
ton of it is unnecessary. but that as
many as forty or fifty Thousand OF them
are contained in a cubic centimeter OF
water might be news to many people
Another fact has been brought out
by recent Investigations. which shows
that bacteria are much more numerous
in water from melted Ice, than in the
lake or stream from the Ice Is taken.
This will be unwelcome information to
many persons who have been IN the
habit of eating bits of ice under the I'M
preston that il Is purer than ordinary
well OF hydrant water. It is further
said that ice taken from points project
ing into the water contains more bac-
terra than that in mid-stream or in the
middle of large ice-field. Out OF scores
of samples examined, but few were pro
nounced really fit to dririk. The I'M
purities in water are the cause of more
diseases than most persons suspect, and
this danger will increase as the country
grows older and more thickly settled.
Probably the safest of all beverages is
water which has been boiled and rapid
ly cooled. This should be prepared
| fresh every day. as water after being
boiled very often grows stale and fat,
| then acquires a very disagreeable odor,
and is totally unfit for use. Many
filters are almost, II not altogether.
worthless. The only really safe ones
are those packed with fine sand and
charcoal The water may be put in
| bottles and placed on or near the ice to
cool, but no ice should he put in it. as
this neutralizes all the benefits OF the
filter.
Water may be cooled by evaporation
if placed in an unglazed Jar covered
with wet cloth and placed in cur
rent of air. Treated in this way it be-
comes almost as cold as ice-water-
quite cold enough, indeed, for health,
and surely cold enough for comfort
The craving for iced beverages in
creases with their use, and if too freely
INDUCED is certain to cause serious in
