The filtration Of the water supply Of
cities by means OF sand flter-beds, or
mechanical contrivances, has rapidly
advanced in this country during the
past ten years; but 1t is far more gen.
eral in Great Britain than here. Mr..
Allen Hazen, an authority on sanitary
engineering, AYERS that the fact is
fully established that the death rate
from typhoid fever Is materially low
cred by the filtration of the water sup
ply. In Great Britain, cities contain
ing an aggregate population Of more
than 100000 people use sand-fil
tered water supply, and the result, 1t
is claimed, is shown in London's free
dom from typhoid. In this country
only one-tenth Of the towns and cities
have filtered water.
The Grit-advocate., 1900-07-06

The application Of scientific irriga
ton methods has recently given new
development to rice culture in south
western Louisiana, as explained in a
bulletin OF the department Of agricul-
ture. Rice requires wet lands. but
on such lands harvesting machinery
cannot be used. The difficulty has been
met by flooding the dry prairie lands
during the growth OF the rice. and
then draining them, by system of
pumps, canals and levees, when the
crop is nearly ripe. On the drained
lands 1t is possible to use reapers to
harvest the rice; thus the cheap labor
employed in foreign rice growing
countries can be met by American ma
chinery.

Probably the most novel regiment

which has been given the appropriate

are girls Of fne physique. being much
above the average in height. The regi-
nent is drilled according to military
schedule, and their maneuvers have
attracted considerable attention in the
whole of the colony.

Before the Biological Society in
Washington recently, Mr.. H. ". Olds
presented the results Of his studies of
bird music Wonderful as 1t seems, he
said, It Is a fact that some OF the birds
use the human musical scale. He
showed by examples how the songs Of
certain birds are unmistakably gov
erned BY the intervals that compose
our scale. Sometimes bird musicians.
like their human compeers, wander
from the key. He thought that there
was no escape from the conclusion that
birds are subject 20 musical evolu-
tiop which parallels our own
