THE SWIMMING POOL.
Preventing Water Contamination by
Large Number of Bathers.

From the New York Sun.
The pleasure. refreshment and exercise
obtained in a swimming pool have popu-
larized this form of the public bath i'm
mensely. There have. however. been
such apparently insuperable objections to
it that the advocates of free public baths
have strenuously opposed it The main
tenance OF clear and uncontaminated wa
ter in pools used by large numbers was
accomplished by constant inflow of fresh
water. Since the latter must be heated
for a cleansing bath, the cost is prohibi-
tive and the result is only moderately
attained.
A paper read by Mr.. Arthur NJ. Crane.
an expert of New York city. before the
Association for Promoting Hygiene and
Public Baths in Baltimore. presents a
complete solution of the problem. AIr.
Crane urges refltration and addition OF
hypochlorite of lime, and he demonstrates
the almost incredible fact that the used
pool water may be made more pure than
the water from the main That this Is no
chmera is proved by the following data
selected from many presented BY him.
In the Bermondsey public bath of
London physical and ARCHAEOLOGICAL tests
showed that after nine months use the
pool water was still satisfactory. In Bel
fast the same observation was made aft
Ell seventeen months.
In the I'D street Young Mems Chris
tan Association of New York 35,G0D gall
Ions of water in which 80 o persons had
bathed during the week presented no dis
ease-producing bacteria and was crystal
clear.
In the Washington Heights Young
Mems Christian Association the used pool
water was thirty times more pure than
the water from the main
In the Kansas City Young Mems Chris
tan Association 3S.G9o gallons OF water
after use by 1900 bathers were found by
the city chemist 10 be more pure than
water drawn from the faucet
The largest period OF using the pool
water without adding fresh water was in
Amherst College, three years. Despite
the daily bathing of eighty students in the
,J,00J-gallon POSI- a recent meteorological
examination showed it to be still perfectly
safe, by reason OF refiltration and addi-
ton of hypochlori.e OF lime. IL esthetic
reasons We're not operative. the simple
cost of $3.50 a year for ioot..o gallons of
water, would make the water sufficiently
wholesome RefiltI ton adds humidity to
the water besides removing bacteria.
The cost OF the entire process ~ In
fnitesimal. In three years the saving %
water pays the cost OF :nstaiiGt.on, and
the saving of coal. ber.s = Per cent OF,

ing.
The pool may becorne ideal by insisting
upon preceding soap and hot water
bath in a private cabinet In view of
these requirements the pool must continue
to be meana OF recreation and SWIM
ming instruction. Since the showers must
be provided for cleansing, the pool is
superfuous as public bath.

An Old Time Playful Prisoner.

Over century ago there occurred In
London what the Annual Register call
ed "a most unparalleled atrocity." 1t
was only the theft of a pocket hand
kerchief from pocket but the circum-
stances of the deed explain the vehe-
mence of this denunciation. Four men
were on their trial for assaulting man
in his house at Ponder's End. putting
him in fear and stealing from him, and
one of them relieved the tedium Of the
trial, which lasted eight hours. by pick
ing the pocket OF one of the turkeys
as he stood in the dock. An official had
the presence of mind to order the res
toration Of the handkerchief. and the
prisoner had enough presence of mind
to obey with the most careless indif
ference" but the court, we read, "were
horror struck" Justice, however, pull.
ed itself together sufficiently to sem
tence all four men to death.

HIS FACIAL FOLIAGE.
It's Fate When Living Up to Its Dignity
Was Suggested.

"So oeSSOoeC1.
There Is a comic artist on a New
York paper who used to drink little
too much and little too often. Also
he wore a heavy brown beard of which
he was very proud.
One morning he came to the Office,
moving signs or indiScretions the
night before. His managing editor en-
deavored to appeal to his better judg
ment
"Old man." he said seriously, you're
too old and too smart to be doing this
sort of thing 1t might be all right for
n lot Of smooth faced kids to spend
the night over bar, but you ought to
remember that you're no longer lid.
You ought to try to live up to the dig
nifty of that beard Of yours"
This last suggestion seemed to throw
the culprit into brown study. He re-
tired to his corner of the art room to
think 1t over. In a few minutes he
put on his hat and coat and slipped
out, and he didn't come back for two
weeks either. But within an hour aft
er his departure the managing editor
heard from him. A messenger boy
brought in a pasteboard box such as
florists use to pack flowers in. The
managing editor cut the wrappings
and opened the box.
There was nothing inside except n
