SIMPLE TESTS FOR WATER

Now that summer has arrived, when
people will be visiting the country
camping out, etc, and when it will be
necessary for them TO pass upon the
portability of supplies of water, few
trustworthy tests for this purpose, Gull
ed from the Massachusetts Medical
Journal, are timely, especially as they
are not based on chemical analysis.
First boil and fill bottle made o.
colorless glass with the water and look
through it at some dark object The
water should then appear perfectly col
orless and free from suspended matter.
muddy or turbid appearance indi-
Gates the presence of soluble organic
matter or of soluble matter in suspen.
sion.
If this test is passed successfully emp
ty out some of the water, leaving the
bottle about halt-fuIl; cork ana place
it for a few hours in warm
place. Shake up the water, re-
move the cord and critically smell
the air contained in the hottie. hit has any
smell, and especially if the odor is in ia"
least repulsive, the water should be rejected
for domestic use. The advantage of heating
the water is that this sometimes develops AN
odor that would not otherwise he preceptioir
Pure water should be tssteless and remain
so after being warmed, 1t should also be
odorless.
A very practical test for sewage contsmiua
tioT or the presence Of putrescible otgauic
matter is as follows: clesn pint bottle D.
filled three-fourths full OF the wafer to he
tested, and in it is dissolved tosspooniui OF
tn, purest sugsr-loaf or graduated WI
answer. The bottle is then corked and kep5
in warm place for two days. If after from
twenty-four to forty eight hours the watt
becomes cloudy or muddy it is unfit FOR do-
nestle USE II it remains perfectly clear it is
probably safe fox use.

Yesterdays session of the House of
Representatives was of little legislative
interest. A few private bills were
passed, and some conference reports of
minor Importance were adopted. Ad-
ournment which involved the abandon
ment of the evening pension session,
was taken until Tuesday. There was
a re.echo OF the Grosvenor Bailey Incl
dent of few days ago, regarding an
editorial rejecting upon Mr.. Bailey.
The latter demanded the name of the
democratic congressman who was said
to have written the article. MIR. Gros-
venor refused to give it. Mr.. Bailey
and the democratic members stand up
TO disavow authorship of the article,
which those present did. Previously,
Mr.. Grosvenor said ne thought the Time
had come when the author of the arli-
Gle should come forth and acknowl-
edge it.

the great number Of Catholic young
men who are now in the army and navy
fighting and ready at moment to de-
fend their country, and now compare

most satisfactory, but | cannot give any
details as to how many or what particu-
