Geological Surrey to Hamoni@e SCI
cntifc Methods scith Results.

Washington. MAY 81 (SpeCiaD.-The important eff
feet of water impregnated with various chemicals
not only on the public health but steam boilers.
and in the various arts and manufactures into
which it enters, has moved the Geological SURVEY
to take up on thoroughly practical basis the
anal,-zine of the various waters of the United
States In Itself the work is not new, but hereto
fore the strict adherence to the most approved
scientific methods with a view to securing thor
ouehlz- accurate results has made the work eN-
pensive and has prevented its assuming the gen
eraI character likely to be productive of the most
utilitarian and widespread results. Now, however,
q new basis for this work has been adopted Re
suits sufficiently fer ali practical purposes
are TO be secured without the additional work and
expense essential to the more delicate analyses.
The Geological Survey is considering these points
with especial reference 70 the possibility of de-
vising methods of determination which can be
carried on in the field. and which shall be sufi-
ciently accurate for most purposes. The expert
ence of the Survey thus far is that large num-
Der of determine tions of approximate accuracy
are in the aggregate, far more useful than few
determine tions made according to refined methods
Acting along these lines the Survey has endeay-
ored to interest the attention OF various chem
lists in the country this matter. and wide
spread discussion has been carried on con-
cerning the most useful determination and the
most advantageous means by which rapid and ap-
proXinately accurate results be reached. The
opinions of these chemists being collected, and
from them there is in process of construction a
scheme by which large areas can be chemically
surveyed
These INQUIRIES cover the organic well the
inorga mic determinations and therefore the scope
of the work will be such as to meet the needs Of
those interested in domestic water supply as well
as of those who seeking informatio concern
ing the best waters for in boilers. number
of methods for field analysis have already been
proposed. and being practically tested and
there is reason believe that within short time
this work will have advanced to point at which
1t can be placed before the various chemical au-
thorites in the country as practicable system and
a widespread chemical survey Of almost incal-
cuabIe value will have been set on foot
MANY railroads in the United States main tain
chemical laboratories, and the results Of the
analyses OF water found along the various rights
of way furnish a clear conception of the character
of the available waters along these narrow lines.
The work involved in chemical survey, however
as has been carried on In the past, is necessarily
Expensive and exceedingly slow, and there has
been great need of rapid and practical field meth
obs whereby a large number of analyses be
made at small cost

a pig. But when you come home

that same pig to meet you two blocks

Your pig to nestle up to your side and
