the largest and finest filtration plants
In the world is a splendid example
OF American planning and execution.
A visit to the filtration plant is well
worth while. II is both entertaining
and instructive.
Let us take guide and go through
the plant.
THE filtration system used in Bal
timoro is known as the mechanical
to distinguish it from others. such as
the slow sand and other washing
types" explains the guide.
with the slow sand type the output
is from 100000 to 100000 gallons
of water day to the acre of filter.
With tremendous acreage 1t would
be possible to give any needed supply,
but large area would be needed be-
cause to clean such a filter it is neces-
sary to close a section while the sand
was being scraped off and washed in
a special washing machine"
How often does a filter have to
be washed?" you ask. wondering why,
with such a quantity of water passing
through it, it should need laundering.
''At least once MONTH" is the re-
ply, land you would be astonished to
see the enormous amount or dirt that
is taken from the water.
"Now with the mechanical filter
and this is how it gets it's name-the
altering and the washing is done al
most automatically. or at least me-
chanically. The water passes through
the filter at the rate of 10000. 900
gallons to the acre each day; at least

sort of clearing house where a large
number of recruits are assembled
from various parts of the country in
order that they may have n primary
course of instructions ere they are
sent to the regiments in the field. At
the depot the recruit receives his first
uniform and equipment and an outfit
that includes Il razor, soap, shoe pol
ish, towels, etc. and here he spends
forty-tive days learning not only the
rudiments of military career, but
such homely details as how to care
for his clothing and fold and pile his
bedding. During the period of proba-
ton the recruit gets his fill of drills
and lectures on the various phases
of soldering, but the result is that
when he is sent to the regiment that
is to be his permanent home he is
able to take his place in his company
and perform all the duties that are
expected of him.

jlcles formed by sour cream when
placed in coffee, and having a con-
sistency very much like the white of
an egg. These foe being sticky, they
attract the bacteria and other sus-
pended matter in the water. and by
the time it has passed through the
coagulating stage settles to the bot
tom.
"By this time the original number
of bacteria. something like 10000 to
the cubic centimetre. has been re-
duced to so to the cubic centimctre so
that the death rate to these germs
has been rather heavy. Water that
contains any less than 100 is gen.
orally regarded as fit for drinking.
Bacteria, incidentally does not al
ways mean Just what people think 1t
does. The word has become so asso-
ciated with disease and filth that most
persons do not understand that by
far the greater number are friendly
or harmless to the human system.
Without the usual variety, fermenta-
ton could not take place and food
could not be digestcd or assimiated
However, the idea of chemically puri-
flying water Is to quickly get rid of the
harmful bacteria.
1T Is seen, that in the coagulating
basins, nearly all the suspended mat
ter is eliminated and it is this suspend
cd matter which is largely earth, that
diScolorS the water. This scolora-
ton of the water Is called by the
water works people, turbidity and
there are times directly after rains,
when the turbdity will amount to
500 parts per million. or in plain Eng
lish. 4,165 pounds to the million gal

: These coagulating basins are moth
ing more than huge tanks built of re-
inforced concrete, through which 1t
takes n given particle OF water about
three hours to pass, after which 1t
passes to the filter tanks. There are
80 of these and each has a capacity
| of 100000 gallons per day. Each
tank is 55 IL feet long, 32 feet wide
and feet deep. They are supported
on groined arches and the space be-
tween and under the arches form Il
portion of the reservoir for the fl
tered water"
The filter beds.
Next the water goes to the filter
beds. These beds look something like
the coagulating basins" says the
guide. but they are different. They
are divided into two compartments by
concrete walls spaced 80 inches apart,
on the floor Of each compartment are
a series of concrete ridge blocks 6
inches high and spaced three inches
apart, each space being covered with
semi elliptical bronze strainer plates,
the holes in the latter being 3-32
inches in diameter.
"Over these plates Is IA inches of
well graded gravel and over the gravel
is "a inches of sand. Thus it is n sand
and gravel filter and the water, by
reason of its own weight, percolates
through the sand and gravel into the
conduts below and through pipes to
the filtered water reservoir.

EM advice, accompanied by his
h M most seductive smile. to the
~ youth of the land. The United

that it takes much urging though. A
good many husky lads seem to be

ways has that effect and the first real
narc-up in Mexico sufficed.
That Uncle Sam hit upon the psy-
Geological moment for sounding his
present clarion call for recruits there
can be no doubt. but it is not by
chance that Uncle Sam has suddenly
appeared in q Billy Sunday role with
q country wide plea to young men to
hit the trail" The recent action by
Congress is what brought it about.
With the Mexican trouble putting the
spurs to preparedness Congress. as
our readers know. suddenly got busy
