Tests For Boiler Water.

Will you please print some simple
tests for boiler water?-E. G.. A.
Answer.-Test for hard or soft
water: Dissolve a small piece of
good soap in alcohol. Let a few
drops of the solution fall into a glass
of the water. If it turns milky, it
is hard water; if it turns clear, it is
soft water.
Test for earthly matters or alkali:
Take litmus-paper dipped in vinegar,
and, if on immersion the paper re-
turns to its true shade, the water
does not contain earthly matter or al
kali. If a few drops of syrup be
added to a water containing any
earthly matter, it will turn green.
Test for carbonic acid: Take equal
parts of water and clear lime water.
If combined or free carbonic acid is
present, a precipitate is seen, and
if a few drops of muriatic acid be
added, ~efferveSence commences.
Test of magnesia: Boil the water
to twentieth part of it's weight, and
then drop a few grains Of neutral
carbonate of ammonia into a glass
of it and a few drops of phosphate of
soda. If magnesia is present. 1t will
fall to the bottom.
Test for iron: Boil a little nut-gall
and add to the water. If it Turns
gray or slate-black, iron is present.
Second: Dissolve a little prussiate OF
potash, and, if iron is present, it will
turn blue.-Technical World Maya

Glow" across the United States at an
average speed of about 600 miles a
day. Highs" are characterized by
high barometer and %out1owing winds,
and flows" by low barometer and in
flowing winds.
The first chart is a typical hot
wave map, and shows a Glow" central
in Montana and a high" on the
South Atlantic Coast. These condi-
tions always cause southerly winds
and warmer weather far in advance
of the "low;" but only. two or three
days of warm weather may be ex-
pected when such areas drift rapidly
eastward as usual
Occasionally in summer, however.
atmospheric activities diminish to
such an extent that areas similarly
located remain nearly stationary for
many days.
AS a result of laws explained in a
preceding article, warm winds must
then blow from the south or south
east, where the pressure Of the air
is greatest, just as long as the posi-
ton of the high" and the GLOW" re-
mains unchanged. When these areas
resume their normal eastward move
ment, the hot wave soon terminates.
Moist winds from off the Gulf OF
Mexico also a high humidity,
which greatly adds to mans discom-
fort during a hot wave.
The summers of 1901 and 1904
were among the most remarkable on
record. Greater contrasts for the
same season than these two years
present can hardly be experienced.
A study of the weather maps for
July, 1901, reveals nearly stagnant
conditions over the greater portion
of the United States during that
month. The absence of decided diff
ferences in the atmospheric pressure

usual atmospheric activity. Well-de-
veloped highs" and flows" passed
eastward across the United States
with great regularity, and northerEy
winds and anti-cyclonfc conditions
prevailed quite as often as southerfy
winds and cyclonfc conditions, thus
effectually preventing a single wide
spread hot wave.
BY reference to the second chart #
will be noticed that in July, 1901,
the average maximum temperature
for ten cities representing the greater
portion Of the United States lying
east Of the Rocky Mountains was be-
low ninety degrees only on four days,
while for July, 1904, it was above
ninety degrees only on n day,
During July, 1901, the daily maxi
mum temperature at Lincoln, Ne
braska, was 100 degrees OF above on
twenty-one days
In connection with our subject we
can very profitab1y consider the
warm, dry wind that occurs on the
eastern slope Of the Rocky Noun
tains. This remarkable wind is called
the chinook. In Europe a similar
wind is known as the foehn.
The chinooks prevail when a
ahigh" is crossing Utah and a 3low"
is passing north OF the Dakotas.
Easterly flowing winds result from
such conditions, and as the air rises
in crossing the mountains, its tenn
perature is lowered sufficiently to
cause clouds and precipitation on the
western slope. If these clouds did
not form, the temperature of the ris-
ing air would decrease by expansion
about one degree Fahrenheit for
every 1873 feet of ascent; but when
clouds begin to form, further cooling
is greatly retarded by heat that is lib
Grated as the vapor of the ascending
air is changed into water-drops or ice
crystals that compose the clouds.
The heat thus liberated is the
source of the great warmth of the
chinooks, since the ascending air
reaches the mountainous much

nation of the earth. The globe Is
divided into halves, representing the
dials of the clock. On the edge Of the
upper half are figures deaottag min
utes and on the lower half figures
denoting hours. In the centre, d.

pointer, which indicates simultane-
ously both the hours and the minutes.
In operation the halves %revolve, the
upper half making a complete reyo-
luton every hour, and the lower half
a complete revolution every twelve
hours. In the base are the necessary
mechanical parts. From the above
description it will be seen that the
dials revolve around the index hand,
while the latter is at all times rigid.

DROWN IN COLLISION At SEA
Steamer Columbia Sunk Off En-
reka, CAL, by Lumber Schooner.
EnguIfed il Ten Minutes, Carrying
With Her Many Of Her Passen-
gers and Crew.

Eureka, Cal.-Fifty persons, the
majority of whom were passengers,
went down with the coasting steam
ship Columbia when the vessel was
rammed by the lumber steamer San
Pedro, In Shelter Cove, off this port.
There we're 1879 passengers and sixty
officers and men aboard the ship, and
1O7 passengers and thirty-seven
members of the crew were landed
here by the steamship George E. FL
der, which also towed In the San Pc
dro. almost a total wreck, and with
her afterdeck awash. Only the lum-
Der cargo of the San Pedro kept her
a1loat.
It was reported that there were
f~orty-six survivors in a vessel headed
for San Francisco. One report is
that these persons were picked up
from lifeboats, but this is looked
upon as improbable, as the captain OF
the San Pedro reports four lifeboats
launched from the Columbia were
overloaded and swamped. Captain
.Doran, of the Columbia, went down
with his ship.
Almost all Of the Columbia's pas
sengers aud many Of her crew were
asleep in their cabins and hunks.
Captain Doran, it is said, shouted for
the San Pedro to- hold her bow in the
cut in the Columbia to prevent an
overpowering thrush Of water. But
as quickly as possible the a PEDRO
was backed away. and the water
rushed through a gap ten feet across.
Doran was on the bridge and he was
master of''kimself until his slip sank
under him. It is said that he at.
tempted to hold the crew to dutyS:'5y
threatening to use a revolver, and
one report has it that he shot a mutt
nous sailor. Men on the San Pedro
heard Doran giving orders almost to
the last moment. His voice carried
distinctly through a megaphone, and
he could be heard saying:
1.-THE women and children must go
first. You towards, give TIC women
and children a chance"
But his cool bravery was in vain.
for Doran was forced to see the four
lifeboats overturned by the weight Of
men caring only for their own chance
of life. It is understood that the life
RATS were overturned in exactly the
same way. One life raft was thrown
overheard from the San Pedro, and
about a dozen passengers managed to-
reach it. The women saved were
picked up by dories from the San Pc
dro.

Chile'S Deposit Of Saltpetre.

Conflicting stories are told about
the nitrate beds of Chile. Rumors
have been current in this country
and Europe to the effect that the sup
ply was limited and likely to give out
in twenty-five years, if the present
rate of consumption is maintained.
This statement is now contradicted
by the United States Consul at VAL
~paraiso. He says that a Chilean OIL
cial whose business it is to keep
track of the matter is quoted by the
Chilean Times as saying that the
Government still possesses 2,000,0 900
hectares Of nitrate grounds. Even
if the deposits were limited to 1.000,-
900 hectares they ought to yield ten
thousand million quintals of nitrate.
A quintal is 101.41 pounds. The ex-
p%ortation has eve reached 100000
900 ~quintals a year, but even if it
were 100000 the supply ought to
last 1875 years. eff to these l,000,-
900 hectares belonging to the State
says the official, there be added the
grounds belonging to private persons,
