CAKBONDALE SPEING. 



This is situated about two miles north of the city, on the Topeka road. The 

 temperature is 54° F. The water is quite abundant. This water contains a com- 

 paratively large quantity of free ammonia, and little albuminoid ammonia. From 

 a knowledge of the situation of the spring, it would not seem possible that the am- 

 monia could come from any surface contamination, and it is probably a natural 

 constituent of the water. 



Upon analysis the water is shown to contain the following ingredients, estimated 

 in grams per liter: 



Calcium oxide 1121 



Magnesium oxide 0-1 43 



Sodium oxide 9742 



Potassium oxide 0097 



Ferric oxide 0004 



Alumina 0001 



Silica 0051 



Sulphuric anhydride 3707 



Phosplioric anhydride 0001 



Boric anhydride 0097 



Chlorine 794& 



Bromine 0009 



Iodine 0001 



Carbonic anhydride (calculated) 2630 



Ammonia 0025 



The constituents are probably combined as follows, the results being expressed 

 in grains per U. S. gallon of 231 cubic inches. 



Sodium chloride 76.361 



Sodium sulphate 35.817 



Calcium bicarbonate 16.959 



Magnesium bicarbonate 9.430 



Calcium sulphate 1.639 



Potassium sulphate 1.044

EUREKA MINERAL WELL. 



This water comes from a well something over one hundred feet in depth. From 

 the analysis it will be seen that besides the ordinary constituents it contains bro- 

 mides, iodides, phosphates, and borates. 



Upon analysis the water is shown to contain the following ingredients, estimated 

 in grams per liter: 



Calcium oxide .3626 



Magnesium oxide .1835 



Sodium oxide 3.6:i69 



Potassium oxide .0833 



Ferric oxide .0012 



Alumina .0017 



Sulphuric anhydride .4834 



Chlorine 4.;3919 



Phosphoric anhydride .0003
