H. Rule, Ashburton:—The filter consists of a cylin drical vessel of fine grained limestone, fitted into an outer cylinder of glazed stoneware, the latter serving to collect and retain the filtered water. The idea of using a porus stone in this particular form is a very good one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with gn>at facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as a filter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter was tho roughly tested with the most satisfactory results. Becent investigations on the subject of filtering have shown that it la much more effective than was formerly supposed, even whea soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter kself is a very credi table example of colonial industry, and la very neatly got up. A, W. BIOKERTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst.
