CONVERTING SALT WATER INTO
FRESH.

According to the Revue Scientifque,
Mr.. Pfister, an Austrian engineer, has dis
covered a curious property of the trunks of
trees-that of retaining the salt of sea
water that has filtered through the trunk
in the direction of the tibers Mr.. Ptister
utilities this property for obtaining potable
water for the use of ships crews. The
apparatus, which has been patented, con
sists of pump, which sucks up the sea
water into a reservoir and then forces it
into the filter formed by the tree trunk.
As soon as the pressure reaches from |. 5
to 2.5 atmosphere, the water is seen at
the end of from one to three minutes,
according to the kind of wood used to
make its exit from the other extremity of
the trunks, at first in drops and then in
fine streams. The water thus filtered is
potable having been freed from every
particle of saline taste. The tree trunk
measures fifteen feet in length, by from
five to six inches in diameter. Or
leans Picayune.
