BY WILLIAM l.. ALTDORFER.

Water is the staff Of life" Yes, you
saw; 1 have heard that expression before.
But did you ever stop to think about it:
Did you ever grasp the full meaning OF
these six potential words? 1t is true that
water is free as air, but suppose it were
not? Then the average human being
would realize the great part played In
the drama of life by the common fluid
called water. And this is the time OF
year it is most important to know some-
thing about this elixir of life. More Ill
ness is caused through bad water in the
summer time than at any other season
of the year. And right now is probably
the best time to tell Of an important in
vestigation just completed by Uncle
Sans engineers on this all-importan'
question of water and its supply to the
towns and cities of the United States.
George A. johnson, one of the govern
ment's scientist engineers in the Geo.
logical Survey at Washington, has just
completed an interesting work along this
line. In this inquiry he studied the wa.
ter supply of the world from the time
of Eve to the present day. He gave the
writer a remarkable account Of his work.
which is bound to be Of great benefit tc
the people of America. He spoke of the
unique water systems of the ancients and
has battIed against almost overwhelming
odds in his fight against the elements
trying to obtain an adequate supply OF
water.
''Of course" said he, "the primary need
of life is water. From the beginning man
gave this subject much thought but the
knowledge of primeval man was some
what limited. When mud polluted his
water, he could see it from the color, and
taste, but it is only within the last CEN
there are other impurities in water far
more dangerous than those apparent to
the senses.
with the purpose of finding some
means of getting rid of these impurities
in water, the minds of great scientists
and engineers have been at work for
more than half a century, and now
Uncle Sam, not to be outdone by his
foreign competitors, is bending every ef-
fort TO learn all the dangers that exist
in water supplies and all possible means
of avoiding them. OF course, the re.
cent investigation shows the dependence
Of typhoid fever and other disease upon
