A TASTY JOB.
PHENOL IN PARIS WATER. QUALIFICATIONS FOR POSITION. LONDON, Nov. 24. The Paris Corporation has appointed professional water tasters owing, to complaints that the city’s water occasionally contains strong unpleasant traces of phenol. Water is withdrawn every hour for the tasters, who are working day and night in eight-hour shifts. They sip the water when it is slightly tepid,' thus.bringing out the taste. The water is tasted before and after each, filtration. Difficulty was experienced in finding tasters, who have to he non-smokers and abstainers from alcohol, tea and coffee.
