Recent experiments in France have shown that natural turf is an excellent material from which to form beds for the fil tering of sewage. A volume of between three and four cubic meters of sewage can be purified every day for every square meter of the surface of the turf. An experimental turf filter that has been in use more than seven months shows no diminutiOn of effiency. If larger propor- tion of sewage than that men tioned is employed the filter is less effective, but it recovers it's power when the amount of sew age is reduced to the proper pro portion. Chemical analysis and the effects upon fish put into the filtered water unite in teS- tifying to the effiency of the process
