PURE WATER FOR SOLDIERS.
New Filter introduced in the French
Army.

New Filter introduced In the French
Army.
During the past year a new model or
Pasteur- Chamberlain filter has been
introduced in the French Army, and
special instructions for its care and
management have been issued. The
candle of unglazed porcelain is en-
closed in a metallic tube, the latter
being screwed at the top TO the water
splgot. In this way the necessary
water pressure for rapid filtration Is
obtained, provided that pressure cor
responds to a height of column of about
forty inches. Otherwise the proper
pressure is obtained by means of So
called pressure accumuators, which
are cylindrical vessels of sheet iron,
capable of withstanding pressure or
three atmospheres, in which the re-
Quired pressure on the surface Of the
water is produced by means Of an air
pump
The experiments at Versailles show
that with a pressure of two atmos-
pheres even with very impure water
a single candle will furnish twenty
four litres of pure water day, and
will therefore he sufficient for seven
men. 70 remove the sediment on the
outside Of the candle it must be cleaned
once week, and to sterilize 1t 1t must
be placed in boiling water for half an
hour.
Another improvement has been made
called the Andre system, in which a
number of candles (six, twelve, twenty.
five or fifty are connected together
and placed in a metallic reservoir
which has an arrangement for me.
chanically washing off the surface OF
the candles and keeping them clean.
Such filter of fifty candles is sufti
cient to provide a battalion on the war
footing with all the drinking water it
needs.
Although these filters may not be
available fos transportation with
troops constantly on the march, yet
they are Of immense value when more
or less permanent quarters are occu-
pied especially in countries where the

The Farmer and the King.

The Isle of Wight roads are all very
narrow, Indeed, it is only by hugging
the hedges that two vehicles can pass
in many. In one of these latter, Chic
tells, the Kings motor met the other
day farmers cart. The driver being
nearly asleep, loud blowing of the horn
was needed to attract his attention.
Even then he was not inclined to take
his cart farther toward the hedge The
motor slowly approached and was
nearly at a standstill, when "Garge"
shouts out: "Coome alang, guv-nor,
plenty room for they" Then the King
having passed, the carter remarked;
"There you be! Ye never knows what

HIS ExPLANATIoN.-"My breth-

sit was this way: When the Israel
ties passed over it was early in the
morning, while it was cold and the
ice was strong enough so that they
went over oil right but when the
Egyptians came along II was in the
middle of the day, and the sun had
thawed the ice so that it gave way
under them and they were drowned. !"
AT this young man in the congre-
CATION, who had been away to school
and had come home, rose and said /:
II don't see how that explanation
can be right, parson. The geogra-
ply that ! have been studying tells
us that ice never forms under the
equator, and the Red sea is nearly
under the equator. ''There now"

Congressman '.Joe Cannon, of IL
iinois, is man Of strong likes and
dislikes. and never does anything by
halves. In the list Of his likings,
so far as culinary matters are con-
cerned, his fondness for green corn
takes first rank. and ON this score
he tells O good story ut his own ex-
pense.
After long soiourn in Washing
ton he returned home and started
out to look after his political fences
in his district. Atasmall village ho-
lei where he stopped for dinner, q
seanty plate Of fine roasting ears was
placed before him as side dish.
Immediately he abandoned the main
bill-of-fare and applied himself ex-
clusively to green corn. When the
plate was depleted he called for more
roasting ears, and continued his
feast until he had made his entire
meal from the staple product Of the
Illinois prairies. The hotel keeper
noticed the array Of cobs stacked
about the plate of the tall politician,
whose identity was unknown TO him,
and said:
Say, stranger, what in thunder
do you want to board at a hotel for !?
The place for you to put up at is a
livery stable. Don't you know green
fodder is a dunn sight cheaper in q
barn than in q house ?"
During the remainder of the cam
paign Congressman Cannon retailed
this story to his constituents-and
turned it 10 good account among the
corn growers. Ereaiag Post:

morrow Will say:
Trade is quiet while attention IS
concentrated on crop and industrlal &C.
~yelopments. Though weather conditions
CT late have been more favorable e1ecIS
of earlier backward weather have not
teen effaced or repaired. AS for the fall
and winter outlook, however. the best Is
predicted.
.sThe iron and steel situation IS sun
largely a strong one, but isolated eX-
amples of weakness are in sight. The
railway situation is one of the best III
wears and the outlook as to tonnage Is
a fattering one, married only Dy the
prospect of car shortages later on re-
ducing or curtailing industrial opera
lions. Fiscal year earnings returns are
exceptionally good and 1T IS probab-c
that taken as a whole the railway earn
ings for the half year will exceed 1891
despite reduced anthracite coal carriers
earnings.
Cotton has weakened quite steadily on
reports of good growing crop conditions,
though rain and flood damage reports
from Texas helped to steady prices on
some days. Dry goods trade reports are
cuiet. Some Improvement is noted ut
eastern markets, but the fall lobbinS
trade proves to be later than usual in
arriving. Some weakness in sheetingo
and other cottons is noted in wholesale
circles.
New business in pig iron for 1903 is
still of good volume but not so active
as earlier. Current deliveries are still
delayed OF insufficient, though helped out
by freer importations OF foreign iron.
The production of the fiscal year ending
| June 80, was in excess of 1000, 600 tons,
the output in the first half of 1902 cX-
| ceeding all records. If the reduction in
stocks and the increased imports are
considered a consumption of 500,0 600 tons
in excess Of this is shown to have oc-
Cured and the estimated Outturn &C

their officials, are making an effort to
have the soldiers withdrawn. The first
step in this direction was taken this af-
ternoon when the following telegram was
sent from here to Governor Stone:
eve, the officials Of the Ninth district
OF the Miners Union, believe that the
request made to you to send troops to
Shenandoah was based upon exaggera-
ton; and as we are confirmed in this be-
lief We respectfully request you to send
a personal report into this town to in
vestigate the conditions and after such
investigation believe that you will learn
that the presence of the troops in this
town is unnecessary and that the order
should be revoked"
1t is said the workers officials in
tend to circulate among the citizens of
the town for signatures a petition call
ing upon the governor to withdraw the
troops. Miles Dougherty, National board
member of the United Mine-Workers,
from this district. told the Associated
Press representative tonight that Deputy
Sheriff Thomas Beddall, who is a ne
phew of the sheriff of the county, and
who was escorting workmen along the
street, which action led to riot, was
wholly responsible for the trouble Mr..
Dougherty said Beddall had no good rea-
son to shoot, as no one was making an
attack on him. The firing of the re-
volvers he said, angercd the crowd, which
soon got beyond the control of the peace
makers. Beddall's brother, Joseph, who
m to go to his rescue, was badly
beaten by some of the crowd, Mr.. Dough-
erty said, because he was carrying sew
eral boxes Of cartridges to his brother,
Thomas.
1t is not improbable that the strikers
| will call upon the county offices to fix the
responsibility for the shooting of the
deputy sheriff.
OF the twenty or more persons who
| were beaten with clubs or struck with
bullets during last nights rioting, one
man, Joseph Beddall, is dead. He died
shortly after 10 o'clock tonight. He is a
brother of Deputy Sheriff Beddall and q
nephew of S. r.. Beddall, the sheriff of
the county. The four policemen who
were shot and the strikers who were also
| hit by bullets will recover Most Of the
wounded strikers claim they were merely
onlookers.
The district attorney and the sheriff
are prosecuting an investigation with a
view Of placing under arrest all those
who participated in the riot. Several
of the wounded strikers called at the
miners hospital today to have slight in
jurics dressed and after the doctors got
through will them they were arrested
and taken to the Pottsville jail.
