Sanitary Chemistry of Waters. 



A valuable report by Prof. Chandler upon the sani- 

 tary chemistry of waters, and suji:gest ions with rejjard 

 to the selection of the water supply of towns and 

 cities, has just been re]>rinted I'rom pajiers of the 

 American Public Health Association, the whole 

 forming an important niaimal in connection with the 

 plans of water su])ply lor towns and cities. 



Prof. Chandler in this reitort considers the nature 

 of the impurities contained in water and their etfect 

 upon the public health, and i^ives particular attention 

 to the jMillution of streams liy the refuse I'rom facto- 

 ries and by sewatje. He is, however, quite satisfied 

 that a certain class of impurities, esju'cially those of 

 an animal nature, in time become harmless by their 

 decay, consequent upim their combination with the 

 oxyi^cn in runnintr waters, this relief, however, not 

 applying to the case of conlincd wells. The exjier- 

 iences of the Thames coincide with those of the 

 Hudson in this respect. 



It has been calculated that sewerape mixed with 

 twenty times its volume of nuining water, after liow- 

 ing a distance of ten or twelve miles, is absolutely 

 puritied by infusorial animals, aquatic plants, and 

 chemical oxidation. 



The professor nuikes a special application of his 

 researches to the Croton water, and derives, as a 

 peneral conclusion from the whole, that for the sup- 

 ply of cities, rivers and lakes are very decidedly 

 superior to wells, which should always be viewed 

 with suspicion, on account of the daiiijcr of contami- 

 nation from the drainacte of the soil, leakages from 

 cess-pools and private vaults.
