[For the Dispalch.J
James River Water? What Is the beat
Cleans ol" Clearing it?
As an addendum tothecommunieati ju on
"Filtering Reservoirs" wc state that one of
the late propiietors of the paper-mill in
Manchester, Dr. Ed. T. Robinson, says that
an attempt was made by llie company to pro
cure clear water from the river, for the
manufacture of paper, by means of Over
beds. The atleropt was unsuccessful. It
was found that the water could not be made
sufficiently clear, and al*o that in a short
time the beds became so much obstructed
by tbe clay deposit that the water would
not pasj. Let this statement be preserved
among the papers of the city's Water Com
mittee.
In this city a mode of clearing muddy
river-water is in partial use, which, for sim
plicity, efficiency, and economy, is a perfect
success. That there is high authority fur
thi< usage, and that it is neither novel nor pe
culiar to Richmoud, will appear from the
following quotations : " Waters which wash
cliffs of clay become saturated with impalpa
ble material, which tbey almost wholly re
fuse to shed by any mechanical action. Such
water, it is found, may be purified by adding
to it a few graius of alum to the gallon. The
alum is decomposed, and its ingredients fall
in insoluble precipitates, currying with them
the alumina and other impurities which dis
color the water."? Appleton.
"In some semi-barbarous countries water
is cleared by rubbing the inside of the
earthen vessel in which the water is con
tained with some kind of seed, tbe albumen
and casscineof which clear or tine the water.
The process is partially a mechanical one,
but is aided by chemical influences. In lu
diu, clearing-nuts (the seed of strychDos po
tatorum) ; in Egypt, almonds; in Nubia,
beans, haricots, aud castor seeds, are used
for this purpose. ****** Alum
is popularly used to clear muddy water.
Two or three graius arc sufficient for a quart
of water."? Pcreira.
"M. D'Arcet, after describing the above
and the common method of filtration by fil
tering-stones, next details a plan whicn he
found more successful in clarifying Nile
water. It consists in the introduction of a
solution of alum, or of the powder Itself, in
the proportion of a quarter, or even half, a
grain to a quart of water. This means had
already been used with success by tbe father
of M. D'Arcet iu purifying the water of the
Seine at Paris. The Chinese (of course) had
long been in the practice of clarifying the
turbid water of their rivers by stirring the
fluid which has been drawn with a bamboo
cane, into the hollow joint at the end of
which a piece of ulum bad been intro
duced."? Ann. <? Hygiene, quoted by Bell.
"Jennet adds one gramme of alum to ten
litres of turbid water, and in a few minutes
it is fit for who."? Journal Applied Chem
istry.
Tbe addition of alnm never fails to render
our muddy river-water transparently clear;
and no taste is imparted by it to the water
if too large an excess to avoided ; indeed,
if exactly the right quantity is used there is
no alu m fn the cleared water. Alum ?com
posed 0* sulphuric acid, alumina, and ammo
nia (we u8e popular terms). To our siver
water are *mall quantities of lime and or.
ganic matter (in all probability) mixed with
the clay, T^o sulphuric acid In tbe alum
parts company Afid unites wish thejimey and
? . Ssferrsw t h * tfwrsdi
a hydrate ?f alumina is one of tbe results.
This hydrate of alumina seizes on the or
ganic matter, for which it has a powerful
affinity, and an imperceptible coagultim is
formed, which tends to the bottom and carries
with it the suspended -clay* In this process
there is also a guarantee of hygienic purity.
It is surprising that such a smalt quantity
as four grains of alum will clear one gallon
of our muddy river-water : but as this small
quantity requires about a day, it is belter to
use ten grains of the powdered alum to the
gallon, and the object will be accomplished
in a few hours.
If it were necessary to add any great
quantity of alum to the water it would be
best to conduct the operation in earthen
wa,rCj but as the quantity employed is in
such small proportion it is a mutter of little
importance. The propriety of this remark
is shown in quotations from two distin
guisbfd chemists :
"The taste of alum is sweet and astringent,
and its action decidedly acid, and it dissolves
metals, with evolution of hydrogen, as
readily as free sulphuric acid."? Graham.
*' The solution of alum has a strongly acid
reliction, and dissolves iron and zinc with
evolution of hydrogen."? Miller.
In advocating the general use of an article
of the materia medica its effect upon the
health of the community ought to be con
sidered. We wish to illustrate this sutyect
by a quotation fiom a scientific publication
which ranks with the highest. Few men
spent wrrm&orc lutthTority than William
Cracker, F. R. S., editor of the Chemical
News. What is said about alum in bread
applies with equal force to alum in water ?
this being understood, that the proportion
of alum uecessary to clear water Is only half
as much as that required to make good
bread. On the subject of alum in bread, the
Chemical News says : u It is unfortunate that
proceedings under the adulteration act
should have been taken in the matter of tbe
so-called adulteration of flour and bread with
alum. In the first place, it is highly proba- \
ble that this so-called adulteration Is a meri
torious act, and that tbe inventor of itde
serves a civic crown, as would be due to
him who should increase the barve3t every
year. Alum is added to flour and bread iu
order that flour which otherwise would not
make good bread may be enabled to do so.
Hy treatment with a trace of alum, flour
of doubtful soundness is endowed with
soundness. For this purpose a proportion
of alum is required which tfces uot exceed
twenty grains to a four-pound loaf. The
twenty grains of alum have been sensation
ally dealt with ; and tbe people, and profes
sional persons who ought to kuow better,
have attributed tanniDg of tbe stomach and
ruin of tbe digestion to these twenty grains
of alum in tbe four-pound loaf. Nothing is
easier than to show the unreasonableness of
such notions. * * * * * *
It is useful to call to mind that of the twenty
grains of alum about half is water, and that
there are only about 2.2 grains of real
alumina in twenty grains of atum."
We repeat that the addition of alum in
the proportion of ten grains of the pow
dered to the gallon is a cheap, simple, health
ful, and perfect means of clearing our river
water when turbid. This plan is worthy
of being developed and subjected to rule,
and recommended by our Board of Health
{for universal adoption in the city.
In the general we know that our river
water agrees admirably with the public
health. It would be well to kuow what it
contains. It is surely time that it be sub
mitted to analysis. Every physjeiun, and
therefore every citizen, is interested in the
subject.
\\'e conclude our communications on
"James Kivcr Water" with apetition to the
City Council that S200 be put at the com
mand of the City Engineer with instruc
tions to employ experts and report on tbe
following questions? v.z.:
What is the analysis of Jamer River water
at the pump-bousc in its normal condition?
i. e., when called clear?
What is the analysis of James River water
(Hiring a fvesbet?
What is the best proportion of alum (-u'ph.
alumina and ammonia) to be used for clear
ing our river-water when turbid ?
What is the analysis of such water when
eleared with the best proportion of alum ?
What is the analysis of the deposit caused
by the addition of alum as above?

Political Matters.? Dr. George W.
Friend, tbe Conservative candidate for tbe
Legislature, is a native of tliiscounty and a
practi>iog physician at Chester. He is a
man of irreproachable character, pleasing
address, great intelligence, and possesses
every qualification fora faithful and efficient

Richmond.
The canvass opened yesterday in Matoaca
towns-hip, Dr. Friend and the secretary
of the county committee having gone down.
From all parts of the county the moit en
couraging news is heard, and a Conservative
triumph is certainly expected.
Messrs. J. T. Iiobbinett and J. E. An
drews, of Ettrick*, and F. A. Hundley and
P. S. Haucock, of Midlothian, have been
elected bouorary members of Wide-Awake
Club tn recognition of their liberality in the
late legislative contest.
Captain William E. Martin, of Midlothian,
who received the largest vote cast at the
Chester conveotion, deserves great credit for
having been the first to propose Dr. Friend
as a compromise candidate.

Ward? south side of Tenth aud ea*t side of
Hull street? Will meet at Jones's Hall to
night at half-past 7 o'clock for organization.
