Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christohurch, N.Z.,Dec. 30,1893 REPORT on the examination of » water filter received from Mr W. H. Rule, Ashbttrton:—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 particolar form is a very godd one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with great facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as * filter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter was tfio roughly tested with the most satisfac* cry results. JRecent investigations on tha subject of filtering have shown that it ia much more effective than was formerly supposed, even whe a soluble forganic matter passes through filtering hat proved itself efficacious in stopping the g erms of disease. The filter ica^Jf is a tw-y credi table example of colonial iadustrj /, and ia very neatly got op. ? A. W. BIOKKRTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst.
