" TiMEHRi.'" — The Journal of the Royal Agricul- 
tural and Commercial Society of British Gaiaua. 
Part I. The contents areas follows : — l'apei-a— On 
Faulty Rnm and its Alleged Cause, by J H Harrison, 
M.A., F I.e., F.C.S., etc., and F I Scaid, Chemist-in- 
Chief to the Colonial Company. Limited ; Notes 
on Labour and the Necessity of Immigra- 
tion for Sugar Estates ; Some Common Trench 
Flowers, by C A Lloyd ; The Poisonous Snakes of 
British Guiana, by J J Quelch, B. Sc. (London), 
c.M.z.s. ; Occasional Notes; Reports of Society 8 
Meetings, from .January to June, 189S. 
To Test Drinki.vg AV.vtet!. — Here is a eimple test 
given by the ^Isinn for the presence of sewage in 
water. All drinking water should be tested fre- 
quently, as there are other impurities besides sewage 
which are quite as deadl5', and every cistern of 
water is liable to be a source of blood poisoning. 
Mice, rats and other pests must have water, and 
many a case of typhoid is cause 1 by such as these 
following into the cistern and remaining therefore 
months iu a decomposed state. To detect the 
impure conditions is very simple and unfailing. 
Draw a tumbler of water from the tap at night, put 
a piece of white lump sugar into it, and place it 
on a table or anywhere that the temperature will 
not be under 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In the morning 
the water, if pure, will be perfectly clear : if 
contaminated by sewage or other impurities it 
will be milky. This is a simple and safe test 
well known in chemistry. — Pioneer. 
Coconuts and Gekman East Afeica. — According 
to some recent letters received fi'om German East 
Africa, the future of that country apparently pro- 
mises to be very very promising. Almost all Ceylon 
products are successfully cultivated and coconut plan- 
tations are reported to be doing wonderfully well, 
Extensive tracts are under the cultivation of this 
palm, and already some estates are now iu bearing. 
The yield is said to be more abundant than that of 
the best estates of our North Western Province and 
hopes are entertained of big crops throughout the 
year. German East Africa will soon send a parcel of 
copperah to Hamburg, and before long there will be 
a keen competition iu this line with Ceylon. Mr. 
C. W. Bohlmann, late manager of the local branch 
of Messrs. Volkart Brothers, is the Managing Director 
of a large estate company at Tanga, and his com- 
pany are pushing on extensively the cultivation of 
coconuts and other tropical products in its 
estates in German East Africa. The company seems 
bent on turning out the best copperah in the East 
and this is not impossible, given the right olimgrtiQ 
conditions.— jLiQcal " Times," ;
