All Rivers Are Salty

ployed also by manufacturers of artificial ice.
All Rivers Are Salty
ODD though it may seem. some of the rivers
appreciably salty All of them. in
deed, contain more or less salt. The Missouri,
at Kansas City, though by no means salty
stream. holds eighteen pints of salt for every
million pints of water. The Maumee. at
Toledo, has sixty-three pints for the same
quantity. But some rivers much saltier
than this. For example, the Brazos, in Texas.
contains five hundred pints. and the Salt
River. in Arizona twenty two hundred pints.
to the million After all, the ocean itself owes
much of its satiness to the salt that is poured
into it by the rivers. which originally has been
derived from the rocks.
The Great Lakes are not nearly salty as
most of the rivers, because their surfaces are
drain into them. Thus they receive, relatively
speaking. less salt from the land. Besides,
great quantities of water fall into them in the
form of rain. diluting them. Lake Erie is the
saltlest of the @unsalted seas, because salt
rivers, such the Maumee, flow into it; but
even it contains only ten and half pints of
salt for every million pints of water Lake
Michigan has three and third pints. and
Lake Superior only one and a third pints for
the same quantity.
The percentage of salt in water has bearing
upon the industrial usefulness of the fluid.
If it is too high. it will injure boilers. Again,
the water OF some western rivers. being rich
in alkali. has tendency to foam explosively
when used for making steam, actually throwing
itself out of the boilers of locomotives. and
compelling engineers to dump their fires be-
tween stations

Beer Must Have Pure Water

TO brewers it is of utmost Importance that
the water they use shall contain no de-
composing matter, which would quickly infect
the malt and cause it to putrefy, instead of
ferment. The same idea applies to sugar
works, starch factories. tanneries. and glue
factories In all industries whose products
are utilized as beverages it is of obvious i'm
portance that disease germs be excluded, and
this is accomplished usually by the simple
expedient of passing the water through sand.
The interstices between the sand grains being

to impure water, reaches seven hundred and
ten dollars. enough in the aggregate to pur-
chase twenty-five hundred brand new loco
motives every year.
This Is rather a startling statement but 1t
is made on the highest expert authority, and is
within rather than over the mark. No wonder.
| then, that the railroads paying millions of
dollars annually for the construction of SO
called softening plants in which the water
for their locomotives is freed of calcium and
magnesium salts. 1t is expedent decidedly
cheaper than the purchase of new engines.
Huge tanks are employed for the purpose, in
which the salts are precipitated by the use of
soda ash and lime. The water thus purified is
drawn off from above. and the undesirable in
gradients. in the form of sludge, taken out
below.
What 1t Means to Paper
COLOR in water is commonly attributable
to vegetation, and in many instances is
derived from the protuse plant lite OF swamps
Great loss has thus been caused to various
manufacturing industries in the nelghborhood
of Boston though recently the mischief has
been partly cured by digging out some ex-
tensive swampy areas and by turning aside
the drainage of others. This is matter OF
special Importance to paper mills, which use
almost incredible quantities of water, from
fifty thousand to sixty thousand gallons being
required for the production of single ton of
their output. In fact, four or five times as
much water is consumed in paper making in
this country as is utilized in supplying all the
cities and towns for domestic and other pur-
poses.
Water for paper making must be very clear,
especially for the production of high grades.
1t must be free not only from vegetable color
ing, but from salts of iron. The latter do not
tint the water; but. when precipitated on the
paper they make rusty spots. The same trou-
BILE occurs with iron in dye works and laun-
dries The remedy here is treatment of the
fluid with alum or soda ash and lime. If the
water used for domestic supplies contains
much iron. it cannot be utilized for tea or
coffee. because. when used, it forms tannate
| of iron. which is ink. In Iowa there is good
sized town that depends upon an artesian WELL

in the election of a Republican Legs

IN Pennsylvania for the Republican ma
tionaI ticket. Colonel Andrews, who has
been IN Was iington on departmental
business, left for Philadelphia yester-
day.
Colonel Andrews said thu campaigns
would not be IN full swing before Sep
TENDER. but that during the summer the
leaders would confer regarding the
work of organizing the State and other

During July and August Colonel Az

Penrose expects TO spend several weeks
in the West. The Senator viii remain in

Senator Penrose has not fully recOv-

In addition TO his exacting duties as

Are Prices Up or Down?

away from it and though eventual
~ the American people may come to
separate human from non-human in
auences over it, the cost of living
viii always be their platform.
Wherefore the figures now ap-

personal and political. II our house

the Republican party. If they are
going up, Mr.. Bryan's nomination
may not be a joke after all and our

viii certainly not be.
Bradstreet's for June.13 publishes
the most interesting figures The
showing is that the index-number-
which is, roughly, the cost of a unit
of supplies-was S7.722O as of June
1. "the lowest recorded since July 1,
1904 and represents a decrease of 81
percent from May l and 1871 per
cent from the level of last October"
This is mighty interestin' readin'.
But it viii pay to examine It little.
In the first place, his index-num-
Der is hardly as low as in years
when the buyer paid what were once
normal prices. In August, 1903. it
was S7.7473; in June, 1901, it was
S7.41s1: in July, 1897, it was S5.s537;
in July, 1896, it was S5.7O1o. But
this new figure is consistently low
er than that for the period begin
ming with March, 1905, and continu-
ing without a sign or relief until
the first instant.
We all remember the proclama-
ton of the Bureau of Labor, some
time back, which contradicted our
household bills with the grossest
impoliteness. But when we sat down
and studied the figures, they proved
TO be lower as to bridge trusses and
uncut timber, but higher as to
bread, meat, and rent. Something
like that is disclosed in these tables
from Bradstreet's. Of the los ar
ticles covered, 81 are lower, AZ are
