A NEW WAY TO PURIFY WATER,
Chemicals Said to BE Superior to Eithel
Boiling or Filtering.


Boiling OF Filtering.
According to DR.. Dupont, a physician
Of Paris, writing in Les Annales lily
giene Publique, safe and effective
method of purifying water by chemical
action has been discovered. DR.. Dupont
notes that hitherto the methods Of puri
flying drinking water have been by fill
tration and by the action Of heat. Fill
tration is the oldest and least effective
method. Even filtration through porous
porcelain, the most effective substance
known, cannot always be trusted, espe-
Cially after the apparatus has been long
in use. DR.. Dupont does not assert that
boiling fails to destroy noxious germs,
but he says that it often leaves in the
water organic matter that might lo
dangerous to health, and that boiling
makes water less digestible by robbing
it of its gases He instances a case in
which water from the Seine was found
after boiling to contain more microbes
than before.
M. Girar, director of the municipal
laboratory Of Paris, and DR.. Bordas,
pupil of Professor Brouardel, have re-
Gently presented to the Academy of
Sciences, through the chemist Friedel,
q communication ON the puriication of
water by chemical action. The chemic-
ais used are permanganate OF lime and
binoxide of manganese. The permanga-
nate Of lime, coming in contact with Or
Ganic matter and micro organisms, de-
stroys them and decomposes itself into
oxygen, oxide OF manganese and lime.
Then, to carry off the surplus OF per-
manganate and complete the puritica-
tion, the water is poured over binoxide
of manganese Oxygen in 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 certain guam
tity of binoxido Of manganese. Tho wa
ter, as thus finally purified, contains a
little lime in the form of q bicarbonate
and traces Of oxygenated water.
A very small quantity of permanga-
} nate of lime is used in this process
Not more than l.3 grains troy to
about quart of water taken from the
Seine at 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 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 i'll water with per
manganate of lime is also quickly ster.

smelter' 1t was expected at one time
that the B. IL. M. smelter would put in
coke ovens at Belt this season, as this
course was recommended by Supt. Kle-
petko in his report to the directors of
the company some time ago. There is.
however, but little question that this
step will come in time, as an extension
of the blast furnace department at the
sme,ter has for some time been figured
on as likely to be made soon, and if this
addition is made the increased consump-
tion of coke, already an important
item, would compel the company to seek
source OF supply nearer home.
Something of diphtheria scare took
hold of the people at Belt last week. DR.,
Longeway, the county health officer, Wis
tied the camp and found, as is usual IN
such cases, that the stories had been
much exaggerated. He did not find but
one we'll defined case of diphtberia in
Belt, and IN this instance the house was
strictly quarantined. The trustees of
the Belt schools adopted the same pre-,
cautionary measures that were taken iU
Great Falls and Sand Coulee when a
case or the disease was discovered they
ordered the schools closed for week or
so in order to make snre that there were
no more cases which might serve to
spread contagion. AS far as is known
no further cases in Belt have been re.
corded, although there have been sew
eral instances of suspicious sore
throat spoken Of. The main danger OF
any spread in the disease lies in the un
sanitary condition of the camp, and the
B 1t Valley Times is assisting,the depu
| ty health officer, Duncan Mcleod, in ar
effort to make the people of the camy
understand how necessary it is to clear
mp all filthy spots about the young city
Careless sanitary conditions are sure t.
prevail in any city that has grown up in
! 20 populous streets in few mouths, az
it were. 1t is important that they bt
remedied at once, and the Belt people
are going into house cleaning with vigor

A man whom the island policemen
describe as one of Rock Islands tough
characters, created disturbance
at Offerman's island last night, the
aggressor coming out of the fray de-
cidedly worsted. receiving an unmer-
ciful beating. He was pretty well
organized, and evidently went to the
island in quest of trouble. as he be-
gan bullyragging people as soon as
he landed. When he got too insult
ing, an officer attended to him, and
took him to the boat, notifying the
police to meet him at the Davenport
shore. The fellow refused to board
the steamer, falling into the river of
the gang plank while scuffling with
the officer and others assisting him.
Capt. Jack McCaffrey received kick
from the man which laid him out q
little while. The man was finally
gotten onto the boat, but not until
he was almost beaten into insensibil-
ity. The Davenport patrol met the
boat. but Mr.. .'Toughy" couldn't be
