The following account of the establish- !Trent of hot-water fountains in Paris may seem rstrange to many of our readers who fail to realize the singular conditions which obtain there. In our issues of October 3r4 and October 17th, 1891, we showed how the occupants of some of the best residences in the newest parts of Paris are obliged, when they deeire to bathe in their apartments, to send to a bathing establishment which sup- :plies the bath and the lot water. A regular business is carried on withcarts specially fitted' for transporting the bath tubs and the hOt-water kettles. In view of these facts it can be understood that the placing of public hot-water fountains indleatee a lack of hot- water supply in houses, Which it is difficult for an American to appreciate. TheAmer. can itegi8ter is authotity for the state- I:neut.:that hot water fountains continue to be placed in the different wards' of Paris, and nob only prove a perfect blessing to the people near them, but also plainly demon. strates thatmore of them- are wanted In . • view of the approaching cold season, the Cabmen, have an excellent chance of heating • • .their vehicles for the comfort of their fares • ' WI h d d f k' , ' w 7 e un re a .o wor mgmen 8families have hot water made hand for them at an hthenight .

It is very uniform, and apparently corresponds to a considerable . .- of time; that portion which was first deposited is yellowish, becoming whiter as time went on, and more care was taken with regard to the quality of water im• pounded. • After the Roman conquest the tanks fa into disuse, and the water in them rapidly became foul, an irregular dark- colored layer being deposited on She sides.
