Pure Water Is Sky Blue.

After long hesitation scientific men
agree today in admitting that weter
physically pure, seen in mass, is sky
blue This color is that taken by the
white light of the sun when absorbed by
the water, in consequence of a phenome-
non the explanation of which would be
a little long.
1t is not due to the chemical purity of
the water, since the sea (which, is the
bluest water is also that which contains
the most salt. Nevertheless, according
to Fore's experiments. the matter IN
solution should be the predominant cause
of the modification of color, upon which
act, besides the matter in suspension, the
color of the bottom and the reflection Of
the sky and of the banks. Consequently
blue water is pretty rare in nature; a
good many seas and lakes that give us
the impression of this tint are green
The water at present acknowledged to
be the bluest is that of the Saragossa sea,
between the Cape Verde islands and the
Antilles. The water of the Mediter-
ranean off the French coast and around
Capri is bluer than that of Lake Leman,
much less blue itself than that of the
lakes of Kandersteg and Arolla, in
Switzerland. Pure water containing
millionth of ferric hydrate appears
brown under a thickness of six meters; ;
a ten-millionth is sufficient for it to be
green; and in order that it may remain
blue is needed less than q twenty mil
lionth. Illustration
