The crude article is formed as the re- sult of injury to red and black spruce trees. Hedgehogs feed upon the inner bark of trees, and the injuries they cause, known as "bog cuts," are fruit- ful sources of gum. Lightning sears. frost cracks, old blazes and the abra- sions caused by falling trees and even sap sucker drills ole other occasions for gum formation. Around the edges of such wounds little nodules appear and gradually develop into lumps or teats. A. wide scar heals slowly and may produce gum around the entire wounded area, while a narrow seam closes so quickly that only a single row of these "nuggets" is possible.—Argo- taut. Transformed Mine. An old abandoned mine near Saal- feld, In the Thuringian forest, which in the time of Luther was worked for silver, copper, alum and vitriol, has been discovered by a Berlin geologist to bave developed into one of the most beautiful caverns. In the course of centuries the water percolating through the minerals has built up throughout the mine a wonderful labyrinth of stal- actites and stalagmites, thrown to- gether with a profusion and brilliance of color which is said to be without parallel. Deep greens, vivid blues, the purest white, yellows of all shades—in fact, the entire scale of color is repro- duced over and over again, and yet the colors melt into each other so gently that nowhere is the impression of disagreeable contrast produced.

SEAFOI T KEEP iBelallakaSffdfaieileas ai ELL BY JOHN W. 5, McOULLOUGU, 141.D., D.P.H., t1Ii1EF OFFICER OF THE PROVINCIAL BOARD OF HEALTH. 4S+tL': r'rC At"A•:"O.Qi4p+IkG WATER SUPPLIES FOR TOWNS AND CITIES, SAFE WATER SUPPLY for a town or city may be secured from artesian wells, springs, lakes, or streams, provided that certain well-defined rules regarding the source of supply are followed, Artesian Wells usually give a sate supply unless the well is sunk in fissured rock which may provide a channel liable to carry pollution to the well. If the well is sunk through clay, sand, or gravel, as is commonly the case in this country, the water will as a rule be of good quality. Ani chance of contamination should be guarded against ARTESIAN WELLS by having the sides of the pipe for say four or five feet from the top encased in concrete, the for securely closed against outside impurities and the sections of the pips. itself screwed together. w e , • Unless the area whence a spring drains is protected against surface pollution the spring is nota very safe source of supply. In addition to the general chances of pollution from the surface, the outflow of the spring should be protected against surface wash. At Niagara -on -the -Lake there are some very good springs in the embankment along the SPRINGS Niagara River. Before encampment of troops on an adjacent common the spring' water is on analysis practically pure. Within a very short time after the coming of troops to the camp the water of the springs shows pollution and is unfit for domestic use. Some means of purification is necessary for a supply from springs unless the drainage area is securely protected against sewage pollution. t' 'b It is a popular idea that running water purifies itself and the ordinary observer seems to think that water passing aver rapids or falls and exposed to the influence of air and sunlight rapidly loses any sewage pollution it has acquired. There is no trutb in this. As an example one may cite the condition of the Niagara River water which, STREAMS after receiving the sewage of. Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and other towns tumbles over the falls and is whirled through the tur- bulent rapids lower down. As a matter of fact the water of this river, despite all the aeration and sunlight it has received, is no better at the mouth of the river than it is above the falls. It is perhaps worse because ali that the great falls and swirling rapids have done dor it is to mix the sewage more thoroughly with the water. If the same water were placed in a reser- votr for thirty days it would be greatly improved, for the reason that time kills the disease -producing bacteria, sedimentation of solids with the bacteria occurs, aid sunlight and aeration have some good effect. The water of streams is good or bad according to the source and surroundings: of the stream. A river coming from an uninhabited mountainous district to apt to be of good quality since it Is not subject to contamination by the sewage of human beings, which is, atter all, the real dangerous Corm of pollution. It on the other band the stream has its 'origin in populous agricultural lands, or if it flows through a district closely peopled ; or through towns and villages which dump sewage over its banks, the water very likely w y be unsafe for use in its raw state. In many in- stances, however, such water may be readily purified and made At for use. Some streams are turbid, that is they carry mud of sand itt suspension; others, notably those having their origin In peaty swamps, are colored because of the dissolved organic matter they contain. While these impuri- ties make the water unsightly, they may not render it dangerous Human sewage, let us repeat, is the dangerous ingredient of polluted water, Many urban Centres take their water supply from- lakes. These are subject to the same forms of pollution referred Lo in connection. with streams. The supply of streams and lakes is maintained by the rain and snowfall which drain a u I:o them and which in the +;nurse of drainage often carry impurities found on the surface of the ground. In addition.. LAKES to the sewage impurities carried from tae land the boats carrying on navigation contribute a good deal of human excreta. This is more dangerous In the case of rivers than with large lakes, In large bodies'. like Lake Superior and Lake Ontario water taken at a considerable distance, from the shore is quite pure. In the neighborhood of Cities or large towns which frequently pour untreated sewage into the most convenient, water the supply from lakes must be effectively treated in some manner in or to make it s5fe for household purposes.
