Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christehurch, N.Z.,Dec. 30, 1893 REPORT on the examination of a water filter received from Mr W. 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 & porus stone in this particular form is a very good one, gwing the perfection of mechanical filtering together with gr^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. Recent investigations on the subject of filtering have shown that It is much more effective than was formerly supposed, even whei soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter itself Is a very credi* 1 table example of colonial industry, and ia very neatly got up. A. W. BICKERTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst.
