Of The Citizen. Pollution of under
ground waters in limestone, by G. e..
Matson. The following is an abstract
OF its contents:
The water which supplies wells IN
limestone regions usually makes us
way along enlarged joints in the
rock, which may in some places lie
extensive caverns. The enlargement is
due to the solution of the limestone
by water containing carbonic acid.
In many of these underground chan
nels. where the surface covering is a
thin mantle of more or less porous
material, the dangers of pollution,
which may result in typhoid and
other diseases, are very great, and
there is practically no opportunity
for natural publication. The danger
Is increased by the fact that persons
using underground water are apt 10
rely on its general appearance and
temperature as indications of purity.
II is generally considered that water
which is clear and cold is pure, but
no such conclusion is warranted, for
some of the most dangerously pollut-
cd waters are free from sediment and
