  14894—Salt water from a flowing well about 1,037 feet deep, . V  
  situated in Taylorsville, Ky., about 150 yards from the »€ 
  court—housc. Sent by John XV. Dixon, of that place,  
  December 29, 1905. The first flow of water was ob-  
  tained December 25, 1905. The well was then cased _  
  to 240 feet to exclude a small flow of gas. The water  
 ¥ flows from the pipe at the rate of one gallon in 2%   ’'   :,
 · minutes, which rate has been maintained for a year. _ 6  
  The water is less salty than at tirst, an analysis made  
  later by the Louisville Testing Laboratory having shown  
  1,025 grains of total solids to the gallon. The water . '  
_. is much used for medicinal purposes, and is considered  
· valuable. It acts as a purgative. - i ;g

Q  One gallon contains 2,127.5 grains of solid matter (36.l92  
_ grams per liter), composed of sodium chloride, calcium chloride,  
magnesium chlo1·ide, calcium sulphate, a little potassium chlo-  
5 ride, sodium bromide, lithium chloride, strontium carbonate and  
iron carbonate, and traces of sodium iodide, sodium borate and
