Scientific Men at I,ast Agreed as to its Color. After long hesitation, scientific men agree to -day in admitting that water' physically pure, seen M mass, is lacy blue. This color is that taken by the white light of the sun wlien absorbed. by the water in consequence of a phenomenon the explanation of which would be a lit- tle long. It is not due to the chemical purity of the water, since the sea, which is the bluest water, is also that which contains the most salt. Nevertheless, according the Forel's experiments, the matter in solution should be the predominant cause of the modification of color, upon which act, besides the matter in suspen- sion, the color of the bottom and the re- flection of the sky and the banks. Con- sequently blue water is pretty rare in nature; a good many seas and lakes that give us the impression of this tint are green. The water at present acknowledged to be the bluest is that of the Sargasso sea, between the Cape Verdi islands and the Antilles. The water of the Mediter- ranean off the French coast and around Capri is bluer thannhat of Lake Leman, much less blue itself than that of the lakes of Kandeinteg and Arolia, in Swit- zerland. Pure water containing a mil- lionth of ferric hydrate appears brown under a thickness of six metered; a ten - millionth is sufficient for it to be green and in order that it may remain bine is needed less than a twenty-millionth.— Illustration.
