It may not be generally known that the storage of- water in large reservoirs aids to epsure its purity. At * recent meeting of the Thames Conservancy this fact wais stated; also that typhoid fever had practically disappeared, and the water distributed in London is not nearly so "hard'* as it was 20 years ago. The reason is that storage capacity has been increased, and in the reservoirs ah anti- - dote bacteria is set up which destroys the harmful ones, added to which a good deal of the lime with which the water is impregnated is preclpi-t tated.
