Abstract
WE are glad to see a second edition of Mr. Allen Hazen's useful little book on water purification. There are still the interesting chapters describing the various sources of supply and methods of purification, and considerable space is devoted to the problems arising from the tastes and odours developing in water through stagnation and the growth of organisms. Other chapters relate to statistics of supply in different cities, and suggestions are made as to the relative sizes of the several parts of a water works which would be useful in designing a new supply.
