Ill-flavored Well Water 
Some time ago there was a description 
in Tiie R. N.-Y. of a well made with tile, 
and stones filled in around the tile. What 
effect has the tile on the water, if any? 
I have just made such a well, using glazed 
tile, finding a stream at IS ft., and mak¬ 
ing well 3 ft. deeper, for storage. It has 
been cleaned out once since the tile was 
placed, and it filled in about 3 ft. of 
water within 24 hours. The water is soft, 
and had a characteristic taste of soft 
water when it filled in, but a few days 
later there was a bad taste and some odor 
to it. I tested the water with sulphuric 
acid and potassium permanganate, and 
the test was favorable. With silver nitrate 
and nitric acid it indicated the presence 
of salt. The question in my mind is, 
did that come from the glazing of the 
tile? Will it not be overcome after the 
water has been withdrawn a few times?

Miscellaneous 
I fail to see how there can be any con¬ 
tamination of the water from any local 
source, owing to the depth at which it 
runs and the fact that it flows in a layer 
of coarse graven only about 8 in. wide, 
surrounded by a clayey gravel almost im¬ 
pervious to water—very hard and dense. 
Th . stones used around the lower tile 
were all as clean as we could find in the 
old gravel pit. A. w. B. 
Liunenburg, Mass. 
We are interested in the account of 
your trouble, but can see no direct reason 
for it. It is a fact that stoneware is often 
“salt glazed” ; that is, salt is thrown, in 
at the proper time and a decomposition 
follows by which the tile, pot, or similar 
article is covered with a glaze, while the 
excess salt goes up the chimney. But it 
seems unlikely that there should be any 
significant amount of salt left in the tile. 
If by chance there were, it would go into 
solution at once, and pumping the well 
empty a couple of times would get it all. 
Nor does it seem probable that the stones 
you used were the source of the trouble. 
It happens that our chemist has himself 
made just such a well as you describe » 
short time ago, and had no trouble at all 
with the tile lining. He has, however, 
had one case where badly contaminated 
water came from a spring which bad just 
been cleaned and cemented. It was found 
that one or two frogs had been injured in 
the course of the work, and had crawled 
into the spring and died. The spring had 
been so well cleaned that no one thought 
of looking there for the source of the 
trouble. It is quite possible that you 
have some similar trouble and, if so, sev¬ 
eral pumpings to dryness will be all that 
is needed. If the trouble is still in evi¬ 
dence, write us again and we will see 
about a test of the water. F. d. c. 
Clearing a Rusty Pipe 
F. E. Kinney of Vermont sends us the 
following for getting the rust out of a 
water pipe. He says this plan was first 
printed in the Homestead : 
“Let me tell of a plan that .1 have 
found very successful iu cleaning out 
rusted water pipes of % in. or larger. 
Dig up a length or a length and a half 
of the rusted pipe at the lower end, and 
carefully raise it until a length of V4 i n_ 
gas pipe can be inserted into it. Be care¬ 
ful not to put too much strain on the 
pipe, for badly rusted pipe breaks very 
easily, and the coupling should be screwed 
on tiie end of the gas .pipe with the ends 
filed square for cutting. Simply draw 
the gas pipe back and forth scraping 
loose the rust, and the water flowing 
through from above will wash it out. 
“If cleaning out this lower end of the 
pipe is not sufficient couple another 
length of gas pipe onto the first length, 
and keep pushing it up until the pipe is 
finally cleared out. 
“I have used as much as 12 sections 
of gas pipe, and this on a long curve. 
If the pipe is straight all the way, it will 
be possible to shove the gas pipe the 
whole length from the lowed end, or if 
the curve is too sharp, or the pipe too 
long, it can be dug up one-half way, and 
then cut in two with a pipe cutter and 
joined with a union after having berni 
cleaned out. The larger the pipe the 
larger the coupling, which can be used 
on the gas pipe. 
“One who hasn’t tried this will be 
surprising how far a run and what curves 
the pipe can be shoved. Many years can 
be added to the use of a pipe in this 
way.”
