A Home Made Filter.

John Mlchaels, in communication to
the New York Sun, says:
l trust the home made filter here de-
scribed may soon be found in every
home, for a water supply loaded with
mass OF filthy and poisonous contamina-
tons should be rejected without hesita-
ton until cleansed from impurities by
good filter.
Purchase a common galvanized iron
pal, which cost fifty cents. Take it to tin
shop and have hole cut in the center
Of the bottom about the size of five cent
piece, and direct them TO solder around
it a pi> ce of tin about three tour his of an
inch deep, to form spout to direct the
flow Of water down ward in q uniform d.
rtrtiOn Obtain about two quarts of
small stones at store where material
loi roofing is sold; after a 60 ID washing
place about two inches of these at bot
tom of pail to form a drain.
On this place a partition Of horae-hair
cloth or CANON fitnnel cut to size Of
pail. On this place layer OF animal
charcoal, sold at the wholesale chemists
as horseback at about ten cents pound.
Select this about the size of gunpo WIDER
grains, and not in powder. This layer
should be three or tour inches a Sec
ond partition having been placed. All
three inches Of sand, rs clean and fine
as possible. Those within reach of glass
makers should purchase the sand there,
as it is only with that quality Of sand
that the best results CAL be obtained
On this place another partition, an, add
more fine stones or shlng for two
or three inches. This serves as weight
to keep the upper partition in place.
Your filter is now con plete, but not
ready Tor use. However careful you
may have been in ashing the material,
a residue of dust will remain, and this
has to be gradually washed through.
For this purpose pass az much water as
possible through the filter during the
first day without using it. The next
day il will be ready for use, and if my
directions have been complied with
filtered water will be always at com.
mand, not only freed from all suspen-
ded circumstances, but from color due
to matter held in solution having been
removed. I found that the yelowish
color Of CrotOn water, which is very
difficult to remove, was entirely absent
in water passed through my filter.

A New Use OF the Electric Motor.
IDPnorpst's Mopthly.l

Thousands of experiments are now under
way to develop the capabilities of electricity
as motive power. Its latest application is
on a pleasure launch on the river Thames,
in England. The boat is forty feet long and
of good beam. It is propelled by a screw
driven by Siemans motor and tho Sellon-
VolcBmar accumulators. There were twenty
one persons on the boat, and about eight
miles an hour was made. The expense is
about the same as that Of steam, and the
weight of the machinery is about
the same, but the advantage is
in the very small space taken up
by the accumulators. = twenty-foot electric
launch viii allow as much room for passen.
gers OF freigh as a thil'ty-foot steam launch.
Then it is the very perfection OF a pleasure
boat There is no heat, smoke dust, steam,
no smell Of oil, and no noise of any kind.
This Thames launch viii run for six hours,
when the accumulators must be charged
afresh for a further journey. The pleasure
yachts of the future will not be propelled by
sails or steam, but by this new motor. The
close CT the nineteenth century may be called
the age Of steam. but the beginning OF the
twentieth promises to usher il the reign of
electricity, and perhaps Of even more power

Curiosatie@ in Knives.

Old fellow used 20 call on me regularly once

ties OF knives to my stock. He was originally
attracted to my store by curious little
wooden-handEed knife in mywindow, which
purImted to have been made out of ten
penny nail by an African bog. 1t seems that
missionary had discovered the little chap
pounding the nail into shape with stone,

as being q remarkable instance Of the power
OF civilization. was grieved TO learn that
he had sold several of these articles
to other dealers, and had helped
their sale in one instance by telling
how the boy had half killed an Ethiopian
chief with the article. I fear the esti-
Inable missionary manufactured the things
in his backyard, for the handles looked re-
| nlarkabiy like split clothes-pins. This col
lector did not generally examine too closely
into such little discrepancies, however, and
he certainly had five or six hundred Of the
most curious-looking tools l ever saw. A
most horrible instrument, fer which h. mad a
great affection, consisted Of a long, thiclc,
finely pointed blade, followed out SC as to
contain two other blades worked with springs.
It was SO arranged that when q man was
stabbed with the knife the interior blades
would fly outward, and the assassin, by pull
ing on the handles, would thus be able to cut
his enemy terribly.
lie showed me an innocent-looIng UNI
brella, from the end of which short barbed
blade would fly out and become inserted in
mans clothing. The object was not to Kill
an enemy, but to embarrass his move
ments by opening the umbrella wide
after Inserting the barb. This de-
vice was said to have saved the life
of celebrated Quaker coffee merchant. &
long dirk-knife of Belgian make was arranged
with a sort of bellows in its handle for the
purpose of throwing pepper into the eyes OF
the victim before striking him. He showed
me also a curious Spanish dirk, which had
half-rounded blade, and looked like a sort Of
a gouge with very sharp sides and a fine
point. The idea was to turn it in a wound
and take out, as the proprietor remarked
with g grim smile, pieces as big as Bologna
sausage at every clip. In spite Of his fond
ness for deadly weapons this collector was a
very mild-Inaunered man. He had knives of
peace as well as of war; and said his hobby
started with q set Of very old Italian carving
tools which had been given to him by a dying
matchmaker whom he had assisted.
