Softening Hard Water.
the Engineering Magazine.


Rain water. while percolating through the
grouy to find its level in the surface or
deep streams, picks up a large quantity of
carb mic acid. by the presence of which the
chalk carbonate Of limo. magnetism lime.
stone Chalk and carbonate of magnesia),
ironstone, soda, potash and a few other
compounds are enabled to dissolve and are
held delicately and unstably in solution as
bi-carponates.
Now the fundamental operation of the
softening Of waters hard from this cause Is
to remove the excess of carbonio acid by
the addition of some substance with which
it readily combines, and preferably one that
forms an insoluble, or only very slightly
soluble, compound. Quick lime Calcium
cxide), when carefully dealt with. is the
best of these on account of its cheapness
and splendid efficiency. The quantity of
excess carbonic acid in the hard water Is
determined by analysis. and from the re-
suit the required amount OF calcium oxide
Is calculated to completely satisfy this In
the process of forming chalk. The lime IL
added to the water in the form OF milk OF
lime of known strength. and what might be
termed the beautiful part Of the reaction
Is the double Transformation that takeA
place. The newly added milk of lime not
only becomes insoluble chalk by combina-
the bicarbonates of lime and magnesia to
the insoluble monocarbonates, and all three
fall together in the form of a heavy and
rapidly clearing precipitate. The bicarbon-
ate of iron when robbed of its carbon diox-
ide falls with the chalk and magnesium
carbonates in the form of red dust. the su,
pernatant water remaining perfectly clear
and soft. The potash and soda, Of course,
remain dissolved, but are not in any way
harmful If present in only small quantities..

n Tho American people are great be-
iievers In fair play. Our government Is
foundea upon the principle of equal
Justice to ali and favoritism to none.
The entire theory and genius Of our gov
eminent is opposed to anything like class
distinctions or class legislation. Each and
every man is supposed to have the same
rights and mmunities under the law and
the Same opportunity to acquire and pos
sess, to enjoy liberty and pursue happiness
that every other man has. It is Implied
also In this that each and every citizen,
should bear his fair and Just part OF the
public burden. The average American
citizen Is willing to do this. but he insists
that others shall bear their part. He
does not think It right for him to have to
pay taxes when others are exempt, and
when he knows that his nelghbor more
wealthy than himselfliis not paying, he
himself Is disposed to dodge. OF course
this cannot be Justified in law or I'M
morals Every man should assess himself
fairly and honestly without respect to
the assessment Of his neighbor; tax
lodging cannot be excused on any score
But human nature Is human nature, and
when mon know that tho income tax law
is largely q farce and a dead letter they
do not take 1t seriously and do not assess
themselves as the law commands. We do
not excuse the individual, but we have
