the great cholera visitation, and ! strong
y impressed with the efficacy Of the sand filter
system there On one side Of a certain street
the plague had wrought sad havoc, and on the
other not a soul had suffered. The houses In
one case were supplied with water from the old
works, which furnished contaminated river
water to the public, and in the other case On
the suburb Of Altona) with river water which
had been through sand filter bed
I'm a place like New-York, where the chief
trouble to be guarded against is this unpleasant
taste from vegetation in hot weather, il would
be desirable to locate the filter between the re-
ceptacle in which the water is first caught and
that in which 1t is stored for immediate use. In
fact the filter should be as near to the con-
sumner as is practicable. OF course some sort
OF storage is necessary after ftering. and the
detail OF the scheme cannot be worked out in a
moment. But in general terms it may be said
that the water ought not to be kept too long
after flterng. The unpleasant taste which is
produced by vegetable matter can largely be
averteG by removing the vegetation itself by
