THE FILTER PLANT.
THE PLANT EXAMINED BY Off.
GALS YESTERDAY.

The filtered water now furnished to
the citizei.s Of Norfolk was subjected
to examination Yesterday Mr.. Z. S.
Morrison. agent of the New York Filter
Company, AID MIR. l.. e. Weston, Of
Providence X. l.. consulting engineer,
arrived yesterday morning to look into
the practical operations of the new
filter plant recently inaugurated here.
They visited tic Water Works in COM
pany with Superintendent Smith and
City Engineer Brooke, finding an
abundance OF water. which was becom-
ing clean and pure daily. and that the
plant was measuring up to the guaran-
tee OF the contractors and the require
mcnts of the CITY.
The great dams were found to have
withstood the storms which have pre-
vailed since their erection. They were
built to shut off the tide water from
the city lakes at Little Creek, and hold
the rainfall and surface water there
and are answering these purposes ad-
mirably. The dams are solid, and are
apparently built to stay, despite the
elements. There is no sign of deprec!a-
ton anywhere. A few minor details
are being looked after, and the bactc-
biological tests are in progress and the
Water Board officials and contractors
express themselves as highly pleased.

ILLUMINATION OF WAR SHIPS.
A BEAUTIFUL ELECTRICAL DIS
PLAY NEVER BEFORE SEEN
HERE.

The battleships to be Illuminated to-
night are the Texas, New York, NIassa-
cfr1srtts anti ffttftl Ia rlis ill he
most beautiful sight and the first Of
the kind ever seen in Hampton Roads.
Such single attraction as this should
draw thousands to Old Point tonight.
The thousands of electric lights will
be SO arranged as to show the outlines
Of the ships. including the military
masts. tunnels. turrets. masts and
fighting tops. Besides this, there will
probably be various designs displayed.
During the similar illumination at New
York the New York had n Shield of
Stars and Stripes, tho Texas had it's
name in red and white letters OF light
above it's auperstructure. and the word
Massachusetts" shown out in letters
OF light between the smokestaclts OF
that battleship. The Brooklyn on that
occasion outdid all the others in eiabo-
rate. beautiful and effective illumina-
ton.
There Will also probably be n display
OF the search lights CT the warships.
The best points to see this feature will
probably be along the water front at
