Study of these data brings out the following conclusions. The 

 Congress spring shows no appreciable change from 1840 to 1870. 

 From 1870 to 1903 it fell off about one-sixth or 12 to 13 per cent. 

 The High Rock increased in strength from 1840 to 1870, presum- 

 ably because of the prevention of inflowing surface water. It then 

 fell off from 1870 to 1902 nearly 80 per cent in dissolved solids, most 

 of all in NaCl. The Pavilion spring greatly increased in strength 

 from 1840 to 1870, probably from improved protection against 

 surface waters. The Star spring improved from 1839 to 1870, but 

 then fell off from 1871 to 1903 over 70 per cent in strength. The 

 Champion spring (discovered 1871) decreased from 1871 to 1903 

 about 70 per cent in strength. The Geyser spring from 1870 to 

 1903 fell off about 55 per cent. The Hathorn (discovered 1868) 

 decreased from 1870 to 1903 about one-third • in strength. The 

 Kissingen or Arondack, as now called (discovered 1872), declined 

 from 1872 to 1903 about 70 per cent. The Seltzer (discovered in 

 1865) from 1869 to 1903 fell off somewhat less than 50 per cent 

 and finally the Vichy (discovered 1872) declined about 60 per cent.
