methods Of filtration, in opposition TO
rapid methods. and in comparing the
two. Mr. Herring says:
by slow filtration a still more COM
plete removal of bacteria may be accom-
plished. and, in addition, the dissolved or
Qanic matter is reduced. In TINS pro-
cess the effective sand grains and inter-
stices are much smaller, and consequent
Nv allow slower percOlation. Like the
rapid method, 1t removes the SUSPENDED
matter: but, in addition thereto, 1t re-
duces. solely by natural process, the color
and the dissolved organic matter. ii also
gives greater assurance OF the complete
removal of pathogenic bacteria, on &C
count of less frequent disturbance or the
surface during the washing Of the filter.
AS between the Hamburg-the continu-
Gus systern-and the intermittent-the
Lawrence system-Mr. Herring would seem
IN favor the latter. The area OF the

same trouble that periodically falls to
the lot OF Richmond Just now the water
OF the Dan Is as disgustingly muddy as
IS the water OF the James. And the
worst Of Il is that unless some remedy
Is applied, the evil in the case OF each
city must continue 20 increase in proper
ton to the progress OF denudation of the
forest-iands along the banks OF the two
streams and their afiiuents. and the con-
sequent exposure OF larger areas TO wash

Apropos OF this matter. the last No.

an article by Rudolph Herring on the
FILTRATION OF Municipal Water-Supplies."
which is well worthy OF the thoughtful
consideration OF the people OF all cities
that are dependent for their water upon
such streams as the James and the Dan.
1t IS true that Mr. Herring discusses the
question OF filtration more especially with
reference 20 sanitation-that is. the re-
moval from the water OF bacteria and
other disease-breeding ceuses-but the
facts and figures he presents. and the
processes he describes carry with them
some very practical suggestions touch
ing the clearing OF water. We do not
believe that there Is any good reason to
. fear that the water OF either the James
or the Dan is at present dangerous 10
