pany Entirely Destroyed.


The factory y the Judkins Showcase
company, situated near Hunts mills in
East Providence Center, was burned -
the ground just before midnight. The
glare of the flames illuminated the en-
tire city. Soon after the fire was dis
covered the Watchemoket Fire COM
pany of East Providence hurried TO the
scene, and a local company was dis
patched tc render assistance Before
they arrived the flames had gained too
much headway, and the entire plant
was completely destroyed.

ON FILTRATION,
Address by MI. Weston Before Me.
chaniCaI Engineers.
illustrations Emphasized the Value Of His
Interesting Remarks.

Edmund w. Weston, c. f., spoke be-
fore the Providence Association OF Me-
chanical Engineers last evening, his
subject being Mechanical FiTtra~'n'
and a number Of views were used to IL
lustrate his remarks, which were par
ticularly interesting and instructive.
Mr.. Weston first spoke Of the opera
tion of the mechanical filter, and said
that water pumped from the river or
reservoir had weak solution Of sui
phate of alumi1a added, and then
goes into the subsistence basin. There
"a precipitate is formed; that is, most
of the suspended matter, bacteria and
inorganic matter, settles, and is depos-
tied in the bottom Of the basin-in 9TH
er words. the chemical added acts very
much like the white Of an egg in clear
ing a pot OF coffee. In the filter shown

wrought iron. It's capacity was about
500, 900 gallons per "a hours. Ii is about

After giving it's construction in detail
reference was made TO the provision
for cleaning and steriliZlng.
Mr.. weston tncu look up the East
Providence inter plant, and showed a
number Of views. This plant went into
operation in March. this year. There
Is one filter with a diameter of filter
bed of 10 feet which consists OF crushed
quartz. The filter has a capacity of
100000 gallons per day, In this case the
water is supplied 10 the filter by gravi-
~. After filtration IL is discharged into
a pure water well under the building.
Results from the East Providence out
tit have been determined. Probably the
most extensive tests ever made in New
England on a plant Of this character
have been made there. The average re-
suits with sulphate OF alumina used at
the rate of one grain per gallon were:
There were 1920 less bacteria i'm the fill

the filtered water: 1 per cent. less chlo-

Or. HALE'S LECTURE.
Some Inquiries Regarding Early
Rhode IsIand" His Topic.
Block, He Believes, Was Probably the
Real DIsrOysrer Of the State.

There was large audience at Man

ing, TO listen 10 an address by Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale. ID. d., who came
TO this city under the auspices OF the
Rhode Island Historical Society, ana
he took for his subject: "Some lnquir-
les Regarding Early Rhode Island
After a general description OF the
early days, DIR. Hale said that in loSS'
the first Englishman, DaviG lngraham'
came to Rhode Island by the way OF
Mexico. He came here after travelling
through a large part of the eastern
section of this country and suffering
many hardships. He reached the mouth
OF the 81. John in October and finally
returned 10 England i'm a French ves-
sci. In the next century we have the
expedition of Shakespeare patron, the
Earl OF southampton. In 1903 IL started,
and after several weeks wanderings
over the sea reached Boston harbor. IL
sailed around Cape Cod and finally
lanaed on place later known as mo
Mans Land This fact Is interesting.
in that IL was the first place 10 interest
navigators enough for the purpose OF
carrying on investigation. Block was
probably the real discoverer Of Rhode
Island. After him Block Island was
named. Now comes the question,
whence came the name Rhode ISL
and?" Some say that il was named af-
ter the Island of Rhodes, in the Medit-
erranean Sea.
Block sailed through Hell Gate and
then up the Connecticut river There he
noticed a superabundislc of red stones
and was struck with their appearance.
He then came 10 Newport harbor and
noticed what appeared 10 him a super
abundance of this stone so similar TO
that which he had seen i'm the Connec-
tcut river. In 1916 the Legislature met
and named the island on which so
much of this stone had been seen Red
Island" Dr. Hale I'm the course Of his
remarks howev,u, said that Block saw
no red stones. He saw red trees, not
red rock, and superabundance Of the
red rose. Why shouldn't he have called
II Rosy Island?" DR. Hale then read a
poem by which it was made apparent
that Block called the island Rose ISL
and and not Red Island.
Or. Hale closed his lecture with an
account of the destruction OF the Mar
ragansett tribe OF Indians. and also. by
the use OF a stereopticon. showed a
number OF views.
