Conner In Water Kills Germs.

In looking to the publication Of the
water supply, either the local farm sup
ply or the water for q great city, re-
markable results are announced from
the application of a new method OF
destroying micro-organisms in water,
which was discovered about year ago
by Drs. Moore and Kellerman, OF the
Bureau of Plant Industry at Washing
ton. It consists simply in dissolving a
certain quantity of copper sulphate in
the water to be purified. Fortunately
the dilution can be made so large that
no deleterious effects are produced up
on the water intended for drinking
purposes. One part Of copper sulphate
to eight million parts of water Is the
proportion generally used, and 1t is
pointed out that, in order to obtain
any effect of copper from such a mix.
ture a man would have to drink forty
gallons of the water.
During the latter part of 1904 more
than fifty sources of water supply IN
the United States we're treated by this
method with gratifying success. Not
only are dangerous bacteria thus de-
stroyed but the green growths that fire.
uuently choke up small ponds are also
eliminated. Most important of all is
the promise that by this treatment the
germs of typhoid fever may be entirely
removed from any source OF water
supply. .,,
In the case of lake or pond the
chemical is applied by suspending bags
filled with copper sulphate over the
side of boat while the boat is rowed
about. In two or three days the cop
per 10 entirely precipitated from the
water. but the beneficial effects OF the
treatment last for weeks or months.
It has been suggested that this dis
covery may raise the question whether,
after all, our mothers were not right
although they did not understand the
scientific aspects of the matter-in pre-
ferring copper kettles for preparing
many kinds Of food.

Maxine Elliott, who has taken a
house in London and will leave the
stage for a time to enjoy social life,
is famous as an actress and also for
her beauty. Miss Elliott, who, upon
the stage, retains her maiden name,
under which she became famous, Is
the wife of Nat c. Goodwin. to whom
she was married in 1898. She was
born in Rockland, Me-, and was but 16
when she first appeared on the stage.
Her serious work, however, did not
begin until 1890, when she became as
ISOLATED with E. 8. Willard. Subse-
quently she became member of Days
stock company and rapidly won dis
tinction, which has been enhanced by
her performance in her husbands COM
pany. Dramatically and socially she
is a great favorite in both the United

confident of his ability to manage his
aeroplane that he had set out in spite OF
the heavy wind that kept back all the
less venturesome aerOnauts. He was
determined to witness the battle. Just
before he saw me he had attempted
to turn and found the steering gears
jammed. Had I not rescued him he
would have probably found a watery
grave.

The Germans were depending largely
upon their late invention, the Calnite

successfully visited. LeFevre noticed
the great ships settling low in the

stroyer. Inside Of fifteen minutes every
vessel in that fleet had been stung, as
1t were, by this great hornet of the sea,
and every one was sinking. The sea-
men were throwing themselves off;
boats were putting out: RATS were flung
into the sea. Presently the Centrifugal
finished her work and we saw her
whirling away. stopping here and there
to smell submarine and to kiss 1t or
to sting it as it happened to be friend

German ships sinking, sinking, going
down to eternal silence. One after an

came to the surface, saw what had hap
pened, and put out for home and neu-

destroyer, vanished. The great battle

was tired Of it all. Life had been too

their Calnite aerial bombs. Ship after

a broken teacup. The force of the cal

distance of a hundred yards on every
