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 1 stoneware, tha latter serving to collect and> retain the filtered water. The Idea of? using a porua stone in this particular form, is a very good one, giving the perfection/, of mechanical filtering together with g?aatt. facilities for cleaning. Its capacity asr » filter for separating every variety off mechanically suspended matter was tho roughly tested with the most satisfactory results. Recent investigations on th» subject of filtering have shown that it is 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 itself is a very credi table example of colonial industry, and ia very neatly got up. A. W. BIOKERTON, I 27 Colonial Analyst.
