Mecca's Polluted Well.

A scientific analysis has been made
of the Zem-Zem water from the sacred
well at Mecca. which, according to the
Arabs, is the well that the angel show
ed to uagar and whose water saved
the life OF Ishmael. After reading the
results Of the analysis one cannot won
der that pilgrims who drink the water
frequently are attacked by cholera.
The specimen examined contained six
ty-uine grains of chlorine to the gallon.
Water which contains so little as nine
grains OF chlorine to the gallon is ordi-
narily regarded as scarcely fit for hui
man consumption. Moreover, in the
case of the Zem-Zem well it is believed
the chlorine originates from the Gus
tom of pouring the water over the pill
grims AMI allowing it to run back into
the we'll The sacred water was found
to possess an extraordinary degree Of
hardness" three times rs great as that
Of average water. 1t also held twenty
times as much ammonia compounds as
drinking water should contain.
