About 500 examinations will be made in tho
laboratory during this year. The value Of
an analysis lies in its Interpretation and
IN this all of its properties must he consid-
cred. Rain water is perhaps the purest wa
ter found in nature, although usually hav-
ing organisms from the air. Surface water
includes all water on the surface of the
earth and contains more organism than
ground water and still Eatcr contains
more organisms than running water.
Muddy bottoms are responsible for II large
number of the microscopic organisms. An
important question is the relation of chem
ical analysis of water 10 its organisms.
Experiments in this line are now being
made. Much depends upon the despatch
with which the water is Hent to the labora
tory. \ few bacteria have always been
found in snow. Some bacteria are not af-
fccted by low temperature. Supplies of
ice should be subject to ANALYSIS. Even
hail stones contain bacteria. Rain has
been shown to hold Vuiahle number of
bacteria. Experiments show that the wa
ter of rivers is purer as regards bacteria
in summer than in winter. Very deep or
driven wells contain few bacteria. The
number in lakes varies as docs the dis
tance from the shore at which the samples
are taken.
The rate Of bacterial increase is greater
in pure than impure water Various dis
eases have been found in water. The wa
