| Show n. n Notes From Wasatch Perhaps a few statistics from over the range may not be uninteresting to the readers of the CHRONICLE ICLE providing they are upon no dry subject Statistics Statistics Statistics Statis Statis- tics are often devoid of both juice and moisture but in order to avoid this fault I have chosen to say a few words on the wettest subject in our valley valley- water The water here is supposed to consist of two VO parts hydrogen to one of oxygen per imperial gallon but careful teakettle teakettle teakettle tea tea- tea kettle analysis has proved it to contain a few other elements and common chemical chemical chemical chemi chemi- cal compounds By adding a a little strawberry flavoring to some of our warm springs and drinking them out out of a pretty glass with a silver handle we get anti artic soda water and by mixing a little salt and pep pepper er in one one of them we obtain chicken a la Reine Refine which very much resembles in flavor and odor the best spring chicken a la Maryland The only difference between it and a seven year old is that in the former there is nothing to chew while in the thel l latter there is everything to chew They are alike in so far as they cannot be do masticated and are therefore swallowed whole Some of these warm springs are really hot ones though none have yet reached the boiling point yet point yet some are always at the bubbling point and nearly all have reached the depositing point I have b been en told that a gallon contains 5 grains of water but since making making making mak mak- ing some unapplied patent for balances I have discovered that a gallon of this warm water is not a gallon of water but that about 70 grains of it are area are really solid limestone magnesia and iron etc and who knows but that by further analysis the rest of the gallon could be found to be not water ater at all but only a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen In August 1895 the average temperature tempera tempera- ture of 80 Heber wells not Heber M. M was found to be 52 6 deg F F. the coldest being 48 deg and the warmest 57 deg A difference of 4 deg was found in wells only 50 meters apart The depth varies from 2 m. m to 25 m. m the the deep ones were the colder colder but but the deepest one was not the coldest The Wahsatch canal just east of Heber and irrigating it was 53 deg being only 04 deg warmer than an av average rage well In October of last year the average temperature of eight hillside springs in indifferent indifferent indifferent different parts of the country was as' as deg the coldest 52 deg and the warmest 56 deg To prove that water can be abs absorbed take a dry willow cylinder cm em bisect it with a saw v saw weigh the V t two two and andI for fear they will be he dry reading suspend 1 the sawed ends distance 1 1 equal cm l 1 in a vessel of wet water After twenty hours remove these hanging trees from their bath wipe weigh and compare with first weights Which trunk drank the more the one with its head in the water or the the theone one with its foot Why Dry both again in sun moon or oven weigh and suspend the other ends under same conditions as before After twenty hours remove from bath wipe w weigh compare and infer If a rule holds good which end of a post would you put in the ground i Why If the foot of a willow drinks 6 per cent more than its head or top in twenty hours would this information be of any benefit to a shingle maker or a wooden soled shoe Now to reach a practical climax may I ask If you were g going ng to make a wooden mush spoon on which end of the stick would you put the bowl howl But the literary freshman will here come to our relief and say The genus wooden- wooden s is now extinct alias defunct ergo its survival is ad absurdum But the editor will say Put the bowl on the end that goes into the mush and mouth and then the professor will say Give us a rest so here it is and without a further liquid sound 7 or A.
