II was long ago discovered that the
natural color of pure water is blue,
and not white, as most of us usually
supposed. Opinions a not agreed on
the cause of the green and yellow tints;
these, it has been discovered by W.
Spring, are due to e%xtraneous sub
stances. Dissolved calcium salts,
though apparently giving a green tint,
due TO a fine invisible suspension, have
no effect on the color of the water
when adequate precautions are taken.
The brown or yellow color due TO iron
salts Is not seen when calcium is pres
ent. The green tint is often due to a
condition of equilibrium between the
color effect of the iron salts and the
precipitating action of the calcium
salts.
