HAD A GOOD MEMORY.

Congressman Gibson of Tennes-
~ was in the commissary depart
nent Of the Union army in civil war
days. In December, 1863, he was
ordered from Washington to point
In Maryland. The only way to get
there was by wagon, so he drove
two army mules the entire distance.
The animals died as result of their
tourney, and Gibson was court mar
tailed by order of General Birney
on the charge Of overdriving them.
He cleared himself with difficulty.
A few evenings ago the congress-
man attended an entertainment Civ
IN in Lutheran church in Wash
ington, delivering short address.
After he had concluded an aged,
gray bearded man approached him
and said, "Gibson, l still maintain

A mechanical filter plant of the same capacity would be contained in a build l ing covering an area only three-quar- l ters the size of a single one of these beds, and the cost of construction would be less than half of that for the slow sand plant
 l But thatis not the whole story. The cost of operating of the mechanical plant would be about nearly twice that of the other The cost for chemicals alone being nearly twice as great as the labor cost of operating the slow sand plant
 The combined annual cost of ffitra- tion by the two types, including oper- ating and Interest charges is just about l the same.
 Tn operation the slow sand plant has the very great merit of simplicity, and it also has the prestige Of long con- tinued successful operation in others l places.
 X ought to be stated here that it is not always possible to choose freely be- 1 tween the two types, because some kinds of water are suited to only one i kind O. filter
 Water containing large amounts of suspended matter cannot usually be 1 successfully treated by sand filters without providing larger basins where most of the sediment can settle before l the water goes to the filters, as thick and muddy deposit would soon clog the filters and render them useless until changed.
 New Haven water can be successful ly treated by either method.
 One local peculiarity affecting the choice of types here was that there seemed to be no suitable place to put a slow sand filter.
 The total amount of grading done at the completion of the work would ap- proxirnate 7o,OOO cubic yards, to be To- oated below the dam at Lake Whitney at such an elevation that the water could flow by gravity to and through l the filters and still De drawn up at a high enough level after filtration to be within reach of the suction pumping engines. Any existing area large enough was too low, and any area of the right height was too small. The problem was solved by making q plant of the right l size and elevation. The maximum cut ] was about thirty feet, the maximum fill was about fifteen. As settlement of the filling under the foundations of the filters would probably cause cracks in the concrete and develop troublesome leaks, great care was taken in making the embankment. It was built up in lawns a few inches thick and thor
 oughly rolled with a ground roller. The material from the excavation va ] ried from hard pan to quick sand. It mixed together very well and the re- sulting bank after standing over one winter seemed to be aa good aa a na-
 tional bank.

 Tn North Sheffield hall last evening, Ely M. Ryder gave lecture on "The Lake Whitney Filtration Plant of the New Haven Water Company before a good-sized audience, composed mainly of Scientific school students. MT. Ryder used slides to illustrate his lecture The lecture was one of number to be giy- en by the Engineers club of Yale uni versity. The lecture follows:
 The filtration of public water sup plies is usually done for the purpose of obtaining drinking water which is free from sediment, color and taste and all unwholesome properties
 New Haven's supply is, generally speaking, both clean and wholesome but occasionally 1t falls short Of an sWering these requirements.
 The explanation of these occasional failures is to be found in the character of the watersheds from which the wa ter ia drawn.
 Before giving description of the de- tails of construction of the Lake Whit ney plant, think it would be well to take up this question and explain brief ly the reasons which led to the build ing of this plant.
 New Haven draws its supply from five sources, three of which are gravity supplies. Except for Lake Winter green, which is reserved for a high pressure service all of these supplies connect directly with the distributing pipes in the city, and the portions oi 1.-the city which receive water from any one supply vary from time to time, de. pending on the amount of water drawr from each source. The gravity supplies are, of course, used as far as possible to save the cost of pumping. The wa tersheds of three of these supplies Maltby, Wintergreen and Saltonstall are quite similar in their physical and sanitary characteristics. All are small Maltby and Wintergreen about one square mile each, and Saltonstall only four square miles. The territory is largely wooded or pasture land and the streams are small compared with the storage area of the reservoirs. This means that the water drawn from these lakes is not likely to contain any sedi- ment or suspended matter.
 From a sanitary point of view the conditions are excellent, as there are only one or two houses in each shed and these so located as not to contan1in- ate the supply. All the land around
