ton through long standing in the els.
tern. The device consists Of q water
tight circular catch basin about three
feet in depth and diameter to which Is
fitted tight cover to prevent the en-
trance of surface water and other i'm.
purities. This basin may be construt-
ed for either concrete or brick and
may be separate, as shown, or built
into the wall of the cistern. Its size
will CT course depend upon the area
Of the roof and the amount Of rainfall.
The inlet pipe or conductor from the
caves trough should enter the basin
near the bottom so that the water
must rise up through the coarse gray
el strainer before 1t can enter the
screened pipe emptying into the els.
tern. The gravel should be covered
with a grating or coarse wire screen
to keep it in place.
A simple form Of cistern filter may
be built by putting in a wall Of porous
bricks set on edge about two feet
from the cistern wall. The brick wall
may be about three feet in height and
the chamber thus formed should be
arched over with brick so as to pre-
vent the free entrance of water. A
great deal Of water will percolate
through the bricks but 1t Is necessar!

This type of filter can be very easily
installed in an old cistern but where
new cistern is to be built filter
constructed In the bottom OF the els.
tern as shown in the figure will be
found simple, effective and convenient
to clean. A sewer tile 2H feet in dl.
ameter forms an ample reservoir for
the filtered water. The water enters
through holes cut near the lower end
Of the tile. A strip Of wire cloth Is
wound around the tile so as to cover
the holes and prevent the entrance of
gravel or sand. The cover must be
water tight and should be cemented
into the bell Of the tile. A circular
space one foot in width around the
tile provides ample space for q large
quantity Of flltering material. The
pressure OF the water above the filter
will make its action efficient and rap
i'd.

DEATH OF GEN. ADAM f.. KING.

A man who filed a large space most
creditably in various activities of life
has passed away in the death of Gen.
Adam E. King, of Baltimore, who died
of apoplexy Nov. 1s. Gen. King was
born in Delaware Oct. 10, 1897, and left
"a fine law practice to enlist in the I'd
Del. He was later transferred as
Lieutenant to the 31st N. Y, with which
he took part in the Peninsular cam
paign. He became Assistant Adjutant-
General on the staff of Gen. Ricketts,,
commanding the Third Division of the
Sixth Corps. and distinguished himself
by enterprise, gal!antry and good judg-
ment. He was repeatedly wounded and
very severely at the Monocacy. Later
he was taken on the staff of Gen. Han
cock, who highly valued him. He re-
ceived b-e"ets of Colonel and Brigadier-
General for distinguished gallantry. He
was well known and highly esteemed
thruout the Army of the Potomac. After
muster-out he made his home at Ralti-
more, and resumed the practice of the
law. The settlement of the questions
growing out of the war deeply interest
ed him, and he could not keep out of
politics. He was nominated for the
State Senate in 1867. and in 1868 was
nominated for Congress by the Repub-
licans of the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict of Maryland. He polled a large
vote. but was defeated by Thomas
Swami. He was constantly a delegate
to the Republican State and National
Conventions In 1883 he was Delegate
at-Large and Chairman of the Maryland
delegation to the Chicago Convention
In 1896 he was at the head of the Re-
publican electoral ticket, and became
President OF the Maryland Electoral
College. This honor came to him
again four years later, and he was
the only man from Maryland who ever
received ii twice in succession. He was
an earnest worker in the Grand Army,
was Commander of the Department of
Maryland, G. A. r., in 1872, and was a
welcome speaker at all military gather
ings. He had few equals in the coun-
try as an interesting and impressive
speaker. He was warm partisan Of

and that there is no such substantial
thing as sin, evil, sickness or death.
These are only manifestations of a ne
cation, failure to comprehend eternal
truth. Christ is accepted as the Di-
vine MedistOrial link between SHINING
and suffering moTtals and the divine
love of God. Sin and sickness are the
works of the devil, or this impersona-
ton of the negation which Christ came
to destroy by teaching the truth, and
His work of healing the sick was OF
the same nature as reformation Of the
sinner.
In the shadowy borderl2nd between
the body and the mind there is always
abundant room for the exercise of such
a faith as Mrs. Eddy taught. The
limits of the minds effect upon the
body and of the body's effect upon the
mind are as vague and undetermined te
as at the time when men began to try
TO reason accurately oil psychology and
physiology. Undoubtedly many ailments
are, IL not imaginary. such as can be
dispelled by rousing the mind to great
er activity and determination. Equally
undoubtedly the condition of the body
has powerful influence upon the mind
or spirit. Into this nebulous border
land Mrs. Eddy entered with a strong
assertion that the mind or spirit is
everything and can make the body
what 1t really determines It should be.
While there is vast amount Of spirit
