CONDITION OF THE RIVER.

The condition of the river water
Sunday was intolerably bad. Upon
being boiled it was hardly fit for use,
possessing an odor and taste that is
hard to describe. although to many it
suggested the presence of chemicals.
Several persons about town claim that
they were rendered sick by the water
No one seems to be able to explain
what causes the river water to go bad
in this way periodically. The theory
entertained by the mass of people,
however, is that the water is impreg-
mated with chemicals from the hos
pital for the insane. The idea of
drinking water treated with chloride
of lime is repugnant to many people
and they are very suspicious as to its
effects.
1t happened that among those who
discovered that the water was bad and
unfit for use Sunday was a member of
the board of trustees of the hospital
for the insane. The gentleman, how
ever, is by no means convinced that
the source of the pollution lies at the
hospital.
He quotes learned article appear
ing in the Municipal Journal and
Engineer" for September setting forth
the advantages of the hypochlorite dis
infection or of what might be more

lime treatment for purifying water.
According to this article no injury
or unpleasant effects can result from
the chloride of lime used in purifying
the effluent at the sewage disposal
plant at the hospital. Professor G a.
Heulett is quoted to show "that Civ.
ing all possible credence to injurious
action, if ten pounds of chloride Of
lime or bleaching powder per million
were added to the water, it is theor-
etically possible that there should be
present in the water after treatment
free chlorine to the extent of parts
in trillion parts of water. Admitting
this, to obtain medicinal dose of free
chlorine as large as has been adminis-
tered in cases of typhoid fever it would
be necessary for an adult to drink a
gallon of water so treated each day
for Z $50 years.
So much for theories. What chiefly
concerns the people of Danvile is the
fact that the river water is periodical.
