Show PROFESSOR EATON takes a hand in alie water controversy the herald says the professors little learning Is dangerous proof of the fact everybody a Chemist That can cook water A red hot chemical analysis K r C j 1 o 0 caf professor baloh wee interviewed in yesterday aLake sS herald on water analysis the professor was kind enough to accommodate alie herald with hia views the herald reporter beads the article with A LITTLE LEARNING DANGEROUS abie was a cruel cut at the professors learning learn inc here is abe interview A LITTLE As to the test whick THE claims to have made and that others make professor eaton said after carefully reading it the experiment is impossible to the ordinary person it calls for pure suar A substance to obtain than pure water I 1 tan take ordinary sugar and keep it free from all moisture except what is in he atmosphere and lave visible animal life develop in it in a few days unless the experimenters era have chemically pure edear and only a chemist can tell if it is chemically pure they will put the perms of animal life into abe bottle with the ten grains sugar it will however be noticed that the professor does attempt to be rather emart when be bays I 1 can take ORDINARY agar and keep it free from moisture except what is in alie atmosphere and have visible animal life develop in a few days now did THE STANDARD article ask for ordinary sugar f an inspection spec tion of the paper itself shows that or white sugar was asked for not ordinary sugar then again professor eaton bays I 1 can keep that ordinary sugar a few daff and develop animal life the professor in these words desires to create the impression that sugar abounds in animal life and when din water ami allowed to remain fora few days will produce flocculent matter lie apparently ie of the opinion that only a chemist can decide whether a lump is suited for the pur popes of oar simple test for the enlightenment lighten ment of our friend the professor we suggest that he come down from bib high horse of pedantry don a cooks apron and follow these instructions distilled water no we will not eay distilled water for the professor will then insist that it requires a chemist to distill water well then we will be plain take an ordinary water kettle fai with water attach a clean tube to the spout pf the kettle have the tube lead to a clean bottle build a hot fire under 1 the kettle the water will pasa into and finding ilg way to the bottle become condensed or distilled water then drop the ten gaina of augar into aba bottle cok up light if little white specs appear within two days hs eurar is not chemically pure for the purposes of the experiment il however the white specks do not appear then the augar can be aeed tor our teet 1 l little learning is dangerous well we rather think 8 when it is used to boan boozel the pubic |
