How Copper PurifieS Water

Henry Beach Neeham writes, in
The Country Calendar for August:
The toxic effect Of metallic cop
per upon typhoid bacteria in water
gives some hints as to prevention
CT the disease, by the use of copper
tanks. This should not altogether
take the place of the boiling of the
water; it is useful in keeping it
free from contamination, although
after allowed to stand in copper
receptacles for a period Of from
twenty-four to forty-eigat hours at
room temperature would be effec-
lively sterilized, no matter what it's
contamination and no matter how
much matter it held in suspension.
But in order to insure such results,
the copper must be kept thorough
ly clean. This polishing is not, as
was popularity supposed, to protect
the consumer from copper poison
ing,' but to prevent the metal from
becoming so coated with foreign
substances that there is no contact
of the copper with the water. hence
no antiseptic quality.
"Dr Henry Kreamer, of Phila-
delphia, proved that, within four
hours, typhoid germs were COM
pletely destroyed by the introduce
ton into the polluted water Of cop
per foil.
"'Granting the efficiency Of the
boiling of water for domestic pur-
poses, believe that the copper.
| treated water is more natural and
more healthful. The in
testinal bacteria, like colon and
typhoid, are completely destroyed
by placing clean copper foil in the
water containing them.
Pending the introduction of
the copper treatment Of water on
large scale, the householder may
avail himself Of a method for the
publication of drinking water by
the use of strips Of copper foil
about three and one-half inches
square to each quart Of water, this
being allowed to stand over night,
or from six to eight hours at the
ordinary temperature, and then the
water drawn off or the copper foil
removed
ALTHOUGH a splendid antiseptic,
copper in weak solution is not
harmful, no more so than the old
copper utensils used by our fore
fathers were harmful. Undoubt-
eddy they were of benefit, and the
use of them prevented the growth
of typhoid and other bacteria. Peo'

The scientific interest In solar
eclipse is not due to the obscura-
ton of the sun, but to the oppor-
tunity which this offords OF observ-
ing the other phenomena to which
such an occurrence gives rise dur
ing the few minutes that the eclipse
lasts, this being the only chance
for such observations to be Carried
on until another eclipse ensues.
Although the sun when viewed
with the naked eye or through
smoked glasses appears as clear
disk Of light, and a telescope ex'
hibits a mottled surface known as
"sun spots" yet when a total
eclipse takes place there is revealed
to the observer a glorious halo or
corona which forms the outer at
mosphere of the sun, and which is
wholly invisible at ordinary times

to produce bright line spectrum,

house collapses IN the northern section
of the city by the fall of 900 pounds of
concrete fire-proofing material through
five floors of thirteen-story apartment

Eighty-ninth street and Central Park
West. Charles Dielman, a laborer, was
carried down with the debris His es-
cape from death was remarkable.
All the floors of the new building had
been laid with fire-proof concrete. and
the contractor ascribed the accident to
the moisture resulting from the recent
rainfall, which caused the flre-proofing
to become soggy.
Dielman probably would have been
