Text Appearing Before Image:
ly for coloring it.A series of troughs, with perforated bottoms, are fixed aboveone another. Above the top one a continual shower of wateris falling, which passes from one trough to another, and thuscolors dozens of pieces at once. The waters of Eaton Rapids,Midland and some other places, also color glass. The importance of iron, medicinally, is so well established,and so generally known, that it is useless to mention the nu-merous diseases for which it is daily administered. Sulphureted hydrogen gas imparts considerable stimulationto the effects of mineral waters taken internally ; while thecarbonic acid, by its stimulation, gives a peculiarly exhilerat-ing effect to baths. Persons in the habit of bathing in min-eral waters, can tell immediately the presence or absence ofthis important ingredient. The presence of it imparts a light,airy, pleasurable feeling, which the recipient is sure to mentionin rather enthusiastic terms. Taken internally this water istonic, diuretic and aperient.

CHAPTER VIII. ALPENA MAGNETIC WELL.LOCATION. ANALYSIS. This well is situated in the town from which it takes itsname, a thriving shore-town of Thunder Bay, about a hundredmiles south of Mackinaw. Alpena is the center of the fishtrade of Lake Huron, and being situated at the mouth ofThunder Bay River, that stream furnishes pine logs in greatabundance for the saw mills of the town, and with what comesdown on rafts makes it quite a lumbering point. It has con-siderable commerce and about 2500 population, and severalchurches and fine schools. For visitors the accommodationsare very good. The place is reached from Saginaw by steam-ers three times a Tveek, and from Detroit once a week. The water flows from a depth of 900 feet, coming frombelow the rock formations.
