The result was that roots developed
normally IN the tubes containing the
two-thil DIS OF the distilled water, and
that there was an entire arrest or de-
velopment IN the tube containing the
water which hsi not been distilled u
second time In spite Of the fact that
the reagents had failed to indicate the
presence Of any Of those metals which
are known 10 inJure plants. NJ. De-
moussy became convinced that
the distilled water contained some
noxious property, which had been Grad
icated by the second distIllaton.
In order TO ascertain what this In
furious property might be he placed
some silver, tin and copper IN leadep
vessels, which he filed with double
distilled water. and a few days later
he poured the water from the different
vessels into tubes containing luplns. As
n result he found that the plants de-
veloped normally In those tubes COLI
