Extract

In connection with further experiments concerned with the significance of the pH of natural and other waters and the relative suitability or unsuitability to the development of the larvae of certain mosquito species, electric currents have been used to alter the pH readings, thus avoiding the necessity of adding extraneous acids or alkalis to bring about this alteration.
