" 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, tha latter serving to collect and retain the filtered water. The idea of using a porus stone in this particular! orst is a very good one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with groat 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, fiecent investigations on the subject) of filtering have shown that it is much more effective than was formerly supposed, even whe.i soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter itself is a very credi table example of colonial Industry, and is very neatly gob up. If BIO^ERTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst.
