THE simplest means of purifying water
is by tiltering it. For this purpose the
best substances are charcoal, or a COM
bination of clay and charcoal, because
this material has the property of sep
aratng from the water all impurities,
especially those decomposed materials
which give it a bad smell and taste. An
inexpensive but thoroughly etfectual
filter may be constructed in a flower
pot, by lining it with layer of flannel,
and then filling in successfully three
inches of gravel, three inches of white
sand washed perfectly clean, and four
inches of animal charcoal. A clean
sponge may then be placed across the
top.
