More than Jive grains per gallons of chlorine, accompanied by more than 0.08 parts per million of free ammonia, or more than 0.10 parts per mil lion of albuminoid ammonia, ia a clear in dicatlon that the water is contaminated with sewage decaying animal matter, urine, &c. Tbeae are of course the moat dangerous waters. "More than 0.10 albuminoid ammonia, without much chlorine, or more than 0.08 parts per million of free ammonia, is evi dence of contamination from vegetable matter rather a bad water, though BOt positively bo dangerous as that containing animal matter. "Free ammonia over 0.08 parts per mil lion an'd albuminoid ammonia over 0.10 parts per million render a water very aus picious, even without chlorine. "Total solids should not exceed 35 grains per eallon in drinking waters. More than this, accompanied by an excess of albumi noid ammonia,recders the water very oao The samples of cistern water were from a cistern with tbe very worst surroundings, In a thicklv built part of the city. The water was examined for suspected contain nation by sulphate of copper thrown out from the Telegraph Office. There was no copper found . Considering all the chances of .the percolation into the cistern of deleterious matter, this water is remarka bly pure, but could be much improved by thorough cleansing and renewing the filter more frequently. No well, however guarded by cementing the curbs, could have possi bly resisted the ingress of vile matter, in the situation of this cistern, and it therefore furnishes a valuable lesson in the advan tages of this plan of storing water. The water from "Silver Lake," a small rain pond, six miles from, the city, proves to be good, although the amount of free aad albuminoid ammonia is high. This could be eassly remedied by proper atten tion to clearing away decaying wood from the margins. The supply from this pond would be entirely inadequate to tbe necessi ties of Wilmington. The water from North East River at Hilton bridge may very properly be com pared with the water from Greenfield Pond, and Smith Creek.

Hilton Greenfield Fond at tbe Mill..... . m , fnfl. .Ha mill 0.7 7.7 4.7 4.6 Nerth Bast BlTer at Hilton-.... 6.S Tbe comparison shows the smallest amount of solids in'the Greenfield Pond water, and the smallest amount of chlorine u tbe North East River water. But tbe chlorine in all these specimens is nsignificant, when we consider that it represents the common scut wbtcn is washed away from - the soil (this sub stance abounding to a considerable ex tent in tbe soil of the sea coast), or cai ried up the streams with the tide water. Of course tbe latter remark does not apply lo Greenfield Pond. Ordinarily the pres ence of common salt, (estimated in our tables as chlorine for convenience, chlorine and sodium being the ingredients of com mon salt) in combination with albumen and albuminoid ammonia is the truest index to the potability of water. The water from Greenfield Pond will probably show an average less proportion of chlorine the year round than the river, because in times of great drought the water is sometimes sufficiently brackish to entice crabs up the river as far aa the city. The water in sample No. 6 is from the well of a family in which diphtheria has been very fatal. Without wishing to es tablish this impure water as a causative element in this instance, it is very desirable that a mote thorough investigation should be made. It need hardly be said that this water is bad, but its use was abandoned before the analysis was determined. The Board of HealUt is desirous of in creasing the spread of information on the sanitary points involved in drinking waters, this being the only field on which the State has made provision for the Board.
