IMPURE ICE.
Pond-Ics Is Liable to Contain Diseasso
Germs.


The danger of an impure-ice supply has
been the subject OF a very thorough lnves-
tigation by the Massachusetts, State Board
OF Health. which attributes many cases OF
typhoId-fever occurring in cities in au-
tumn 10 bad water aud the results OF bad
drainage, or none at oil, in the summer re-
sorts. The board, therefore. urges upon
people who are considering the question
where to spend the summer the import
ance of selecting places which have proper
drainage and pure-water supply. In places
where ponds are made for the purpose or
collecting water for supply of leo n ~
almost certain TO be contaminated With
sewage, as freezing does not kill but only
conceals bacteria. A most mysterious case
of wholesale poisoning at summer hotel
was finally traced to the impure Ice which
had been secured from neighboring shallow
ponds. Upon analysis the melted ice was
found to contain, in suspension. largo
quantity of decomposed vegetable matter.
The organic matter mostly settled at the
bottom of the vessel, but the lighter mat
ter remained difiused through the water.
The pond, the source Of supply, was ex-
amined and found stagnant, and az ono
end putrescent mass emitted an intolera-
bly Offensive odor. 1t was reasonably
supposed that the ice was the cause of tho
sickness and upon its disuse the epidemic
abated. Professor Raphael Pumpelly. who
made lnyesti cations for the National Board
of Health. has no doubt thai ice can carry
any disease that the water from which it -
frozen can convey and that Ihere is even
more danger from the ice than there IS
from the water itself. since sewage is moro
easily decomposed in summer than IN WIN:
ter. While in cities the greater part OK
the ice received Is pure. In towns where
the supply is taken from shallow ponds
both the water and tho Ice may be source
of danger. American ARdyst.
