A NEW WAY TO PURIFY WATER.
hemica Said to lie Superior to Either
boiling or Filtering.

Ifofilng or fIltering.
According to Dr.. Dupont, a physician
OF I:lfls, writing i'll Les Annalcs div.
glene Publlque, Il safe and effective
method Of purifying water by chemical
action has been discovered. Dr.. Dupont
notes that hitherto the methods of puri-
Tying drinking water have been bv fl
tra!lon and by the action Of heat. Fill
tratlon Is 1hc oldest and least effective
methoo. Even filtration through porous
I porcelain, the most effective substance
known, cannot always be trusted, espe-
cIally after the apparatus has been long
III use. Dr.. Dupont does not assert that
boiling fails to destroy noxious germs,
but lie says that it often leaves in the
water Organic matter that might be
dangerous to health, and that boiling
makes water less digestible BY robbine
1t 81 It's gases. He instances a case IN
which water from the Seine was found
after boiling to contain more microbes
than before.
M. Glrar, director Of the municipal
laboratory Of Paris, and DR.. Bordas. q
pupil OF Professor Brouardel, have re-

Sciences, through the chemist Friedel.
a communication on the publication Of
water by chemical action. The chemic-
ais used are ~permanGanate of lime and
binoXlde OF manganese. The permanga-
nate OF lime. coming in contact with or
game matter and micro organisms. de-
stroys them and decomposes itself into
oxygen, oxide Of and lime.
Then, to carry off the surplus of per-
manganate and complete the purifica-
ton, the water is poured over binoxide
OF manganese. Oxygen i'll the nascent
state is thus freed, and it burns up any
remaining germs. There remain then in
the apparatus inferior oxides of manga
nese, which hasten to reoxidize them
selves and furnish again a certain quan-
THY Of blnoxide of manganese. The wa
ter, as thus finally purified, contains a
little lime i'll the form Of a bicarbonate
and traces Of o%xygenated water.
A very small quantity Of permanea-
nate of lime is used in this process.
Not more than ID grains troy to
about a quart Of water taken from the
Seine at a point near Paris resulted in
the production Of perfectly pure water
as wholesome as spring water. Dr.. Du-
pont says that if the process can be made
successful on Il large scale the question
OF purifying water is settled. Water
containing 100, 900 colonies of microbes
per cubit centimeter can thus be puri-
fed, and ice placed il water with per-
manSanate Of lime is also quickly ster-
iliZed.

Eighteen years a physical wreck. laid

one whom we often see rs we pass his

quite a good paying business, although
70 see him you would wonder how he

paper called The Cripples' Friend, which
is bright and CHEEKY. He is the head of
a society tor the relief of the needy. but
especially cripples, by raising funds for

WOMEN MAKE poor SPIES.

A Secret-Servfce Nan Says the Fair Sex
Do Not Succeed as Detectives.
*Women are not good detectives, u
said an experienced secret service man,
on being asked his opinion by New
York Herald man. ''To begin with,
there are many places to which wom-
an cannot go without exciting suspicion
and this defeats her object at the out
set, but beyond this woman is untitled
by nature for detective work.
in the first place, she jumps at a
conclusion and acts on it in opposition
to all human probabilities, possibilities
and reason. AS a rule, woman dVes
not reason. She looks on thing as she
wants it to be or thinks it ought to be
and will follow that theory. She is led
by prejudices, favors or sympathies, re-
gardless Of facts.
''As a detective she is sometimes a
success in entrapping a man, but her
work generally ends in a blunder which
betrays her. She is persevering only
when moved by passion. She does not
look at a case dispassionately She at
once decides that he or she is guilty or
innocent and works on that theory.
"a woman enjoys the mysterious, and
she is SO elated at her position as
detective that she is unable to conceal
her identity, or the secret investigation
of case.
women are even failures in running
down criminals of their own sex. A
woman criminal will mislead a woman
detective by working on her vanity,
credulity or sympathy, and, worst of all,
if the detective be attractive and the
man criminal handsome-well,a man is
better for detective work, and, besides,
a woman will sell out a case and cheap
~ at that, relying upon her sex to es-
cape punishment if detected"

Any one who has ever had an attack of
infammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with j. A. Stumm, 220 Boyle Heights,
Los Angeles, over his fortunate escape
from siege Of that distressing ailment.
Mr.. Stumm is foreman of Merriam's con-
fectionery establishment. Some months
ago, on leaving the heated work room to
run across the street on an errand, he was
caught out in the rain. The result was
that when ready to 90 home that night
he was unable to walk, owing to intiam-
matory rheumatism. He was taken home
and on arrival was placed in front of a
fire and thoroughly rubbed with Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. During the even
ing and night he was repeatedly bathed
with this liniment, and by morning was
relieved of all rheumatic pains. He now
takes especial pleasure in praising
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and always
keeps a bottle of it in the house. For

PROTECTION OF IRON COLUMNS
Bricks Laid In Portland Cement Success
fully Withstand Fire.

WAIn5CRnO flrSs
Some experiments were recently made
by the building inspection department,
Vienna, on the protection of iron from
fire by casing it with brick, says Engi
neering. A wrought iron column
twelve feet long, and built up Of two
channels connected by lattice bars, was
used This was set up in a small cham
Der constructed of brick, and the
column was loaded by levers. This
done, it was surrounded by four and
one-half inch brick wall laid in fire-clay
mortar. The wall did not fit closely
around the column, and advantage was
taken in this to fix there samples of
fusible metals, and which should serve
as gauge of the temperature attained.
Various samples of stone concrete and
other materials were also placed in the
chamber within the column. This cham
Der was then filed with split frewood,
which was lighted, and the doors i'm
mediately walled up with slabs of plas-
ter of paris. After the fire had broken
out the doors were broken in and
stream of water turned into the room
from a fourteen horsepower fire en-
CINE. An examination of the room next
showed that the walls of brick, laid in
Portland cement, retained their
strength, while most Of the material
stone left in the chamber had been de-
stroyed. The ceiling had been lined
partly with plaster Of paris and partly
with terra Gotta tiles. Both were dam
aged. The Enclosure around the iron
pillars was still standing firm, though
corners of the brick-work were clipped
one inch or so, and the fire clay mortar
was largely washed out of the joints
On removing the casing, however, the
pillar was found to be injured, even the
paint being unscorched, and the fusible
plugs only showed a temperature Of
one hundred and forty-nine degrees
Fahrenheit,

exposed the method of their manufac-

1.-THE Japanese are remarkably In

'Not only that, but they possess inf

case in point. It is & fish of immense
length, with double, fanlike tail, and
produced by breeding on the principle
of artificial selection. However, they
are quite common in Germany now"
'And do you know how they get
white Java sparrows?"
'They select pair of grayish birds
and keep them in white cage in a
white room, and they are attended by
person dressed in white. The mental
effect on a series Of generations Of birds
results in completely white birds. They
breed the domestic cock with enor-
mously long tails after the same princi-
pie. They first select bird with
good tail, giving him very high perch
to stand on; then with weights they
drag the tail downward, carrying on
the same system with the finest speci-
mems of his descendants till tail al
most as long as a peacock's is produced
