Solution of Copper.

The preparation used by the department
is solution of copper that works as
effectively as corrosive sublimate, which Is
the most powerful antiseptic known 10
modern science. And yet SO small Is me
Quantity necessary that only one part CT
the solution to seven hundred and fifty mil
lion parts of water is the strength neces-
sary to kill every vegetable germ Win
which it comes in contact. and one part 10
one million parts of water is the strongest
solution that has ever been found necessary
in the most badly polluted water. An n
terestng item is the cost of treating water
by this new method, 1t being only 80 cents
for every million gallons of water treated.
Although algae give a bad taste and odor
to water, they have not been FOUND inJufi-
Gus to man or the domestic animals, ana
the only reason for the experiments that
have resulted in the discovery that will
mean SO much to mankind was that the
agricultural experts wished to find rem
edy for the diseased water plants that are
used as food. In following out the line OF
experiment indicated they discovered that
the poison also killed o. her vegetable germs.
and among them, probably, that of typhoid.
This has not been accurately established,
but it is confidently expected to result as
indicated. No other vegetable germs have
been able to exist in the solution and there
is every reason to believe that that OF
typhoid will have also found its deadly
enemy.
The preparation of copper that has been
used by the department has been found
as effective in killing bacteria as corrosive
sublmate and carboIic acid fifty times as
strong and acting twenty times as long
as the copper does not work as well as the
new discovery. When it is understood that
within twenty-four hours after being in
trodueed into water the solution has en-
tirely disappeared and that there is not
the slightest danger to human life from
it at any time. owing to the small per-
centage used to given quantity of water,
the value of the discovery can be better

Experimenting Not Finished.

Mr.. Moore, in speaking of the matter
this morning to reporter for The Even
ing Star. said:
'The Department has not quite concluded
its experiments along the lines of eradicat-
ing algae and other vegetable germs from
drinking water. but within month we
expect to issue report that will show the
results that we have achieved during the
course of our work We have laid no
claim that this solution of "copper" which
I snail term it for want of a better name.
will kill the typhoid fever germ, but 1t
will and does kill other vegetable germs
without the least Ill effect upon persons
drinking the water that has been treated,
and IL 1t will do that it stands to reason
that there are Strong grounds for believing
that the typhoid germ is doomed as soon
as we get at 1t with this poison.
"Aftcr we have treated lake or pond or
reservoir with the solution it will have no
more algaes for that season at least, and
perhaps the germs will never propagate
there again. We have used it in reser-
voirs where the water was SO bad that 1t
could not be used for any purpose. and in
twenty-four hours 1t was as clear as crys-
tai and as pure as the purest.
ut is not universal panacea, and should
be used with care and only under the d.
rectionS of the department or others quail
fled to prescribe for the particular water to
be treated Temperature, character, hard
or soft, and many other things come into
consideration before the solution should be
used and the services of an expert ought at
ali times. to be called into requisition.
THE solution will destroy ali vegetable
germs with which we have come In con-
tact, and, II this iS the case, Ii follows that
fhe typhoid germ Is doomed. We have not
experimented directly upon that germ but
II has been killed by the solution. and our
future experiments may be conducted with
q direct view to that particular germ.
Highly Successful Efforts.
1--WE have been cooperating with boards
of health all over the country, and many
of them have been highly successful with
their own experiments. They have found
that the new solution will xiii the germs OF

''.~s - of George T. Moore.

A discovery which may prove to be the
most beneficial to mankind since that of
chit,roform has been made by the scientists
of the Department of Agriculture and will
probably be placed at the disposal of ply
sicians and health officers of the country
within the next few months. By Its use
it is regarded as probable that typhoid
fever and cholera will become things of
the past, and only the malarial mosquito
and the germs that affect mankind and
the lower animals by being introduced into
the blood through other channels than
water will be left for science to find the
remedy or the preventive. If the discovery
proves to be all that is expected the germ
Of typhoid will be simple thing to kill,
and all vegetable germs that are harmful
to mankind will be at the mercy of the
chemical that has been found to be their

many of the city and state boards OF
health were induced to join the department
in the experiments looking toward an i'm

Engineer w. NJ. Reed was inter
viewed this morning by a Record re-
porter. Mr.. Reed said that if the
HOndO reservoir had been completed
Roswell would not have suffered Z
dollars worth from the food. That
while as yet he had not made any
definite figures, he was satisfied that
what little water the reservoir could
not have held could have been car
ried away by natural channels. Mr..
Reed said that the people at large
seem to have little idea of the ca
of the proposed reservoir. To
make it plain Mr.. Reed puts the nat
ter in this form. To fill this reservoir
a stream of water a mile wide md
one foot deep moving at the rate of
sixty feet a minute would not fill
until it had run continuously four
lays. From this illustration the PEG
pie can have some idea of what q
vast quantity of water this reservoir
will hold, and how after it is built
Roswell will in all human probability
De exempt from destructive floods.

This morning the waters had re-

town had fallen more than a foot.
The surprise and shock received from
the sudden rise of waters had passed

town and country really is cannot

the hundreds of thousands. Hundreds
of acres of alfalfa and farm products
have been lost to say nothing OF the

of the adobe buildings throughout
the town will add several thousands
to the loss, Merchants whose stocks

The county commissioners by send
ing out men to the wagon bridge ~
the Pecos yesterday were able to
save the bridge. There was a rumor
this morning that several different
families living near the Pecos had
been drowned out, but there was no
truth IN these reports. Several fami-
lies along the Pecos have been com
PEELED to leave their houses, but SO
far as heard from there has been no
death by drowning either in Roswell
or in the vicinity.

The railroads are also suffering
from the floods. A dispatch from Trim
