Sel a pitcher of iced water ina room in+ habited; and in a few hours it will have #b< sorbed neatly all of the perapired gases of the room, the sir of whie'will havebecome purer, but tke water "utterly filthy. This depends on the fact that water has the facalty of condensing and thereby absorbing nearly all the gaees, which it does withoot woreasing its own balk. The colder the waler is the greater i'e cepacity lo contaiw these gases. At ordinary temperature, a pint of water will contain a pint of earbenic acid gas and several pints ammonia, Thie pacity is nearly by ng the lunperaiure to thar of: ice. Hence water kept in room a while is always urfit for use, and should be often removed, whether 1t hae become warm or not. And for the same reasondhie water in a pump should alt be pumped oot in the morning before any is used. That which has stood in a pitcher over-night is not fit for coffee water in the: morai Impure water 1s more injurious 10 health than impure air, and every pewson' should piovice the means of obtaining fresh' pore water for all domestic uses.-- Lewis.
