CITY SEWAGE FILTRATION GOVERNMENT SPECIAL REPORT SHOWS WORK DONE TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF OUR RIVERS. PURIFICATION METHODS Great Capacity of Improved Filters Increasing Population of Cities Makes Demand For Machinery. As the population of cities and towns becomes more and more congested, the public health requires that some methods be adopted that will change the chemical composition of the sewage so that it will not putrefy when discharged into watercourses. In some places it is even necessary to disinfect the sewage so tbat all disease germs will be destroyed. Disinfection is demanded because of the possible pollution of water supplies and of shellfish beds. The methods adopted for sewage dis infection are described at length in a publication issued by the United States Geological Survey as WaterSupply Paper 229, entitled "The Disinfection of Sewacre and Sewaire Filter Effluents." by Earle F. Phelps. Sexaire purification as practised today is but the artificial and intensive' application of the processes. rs?d everywhere by nature to reduce putrescible organic matter to inert inorganie matter. It is well known that if any organic matter such ,as garbage or a dead animal is left exposed upon the ground, it putrefies or rots for a considerable period, giving off nauseous odors in the meantime. Af ter a while the rottin? is complete, the odor disappears, and the material becomes mineral matter exclusively. The process Ir; scientifically defined by saying that thi- organic matter has become oxidized, that is. oxygen has united with the organic matter to produce the desired result. The process of sewage purification is precisely the same except !,hat in the purification wort conditions are .provided under which nature is assisted in her work and the result is accomplished in a much shorter space of time. Great Capacity of Improved Filters. The improvements made in methods of treating sewage l ave therefore not involved the discovery or application of new principles; those established since the world began are utilized. The constant aim of the experimenters has been to increase the rate, at which" sewage can be purified. From the bid-time sewage irrigation field, with its maximum capacity of purifying possibly 10,000 gallons sewage on an acre in 24 hours, to- the present-day trickling, filter capable of dealing with two or three million gallons a day on an acre of filter surface, the march of improvement 1 as been steady and continuous. The later investi'ators have found that efficient , purification can b3 accomplished without carrying the process to the point of complete oxielation. The liquid flowing from a modern ticiding filter, according to Mr. Phelps, looks to the unstrained ey? like the orginai sewage ; indeed there is almost as much organic matter in the effluent as in the raw sewage, and sometimes more, but this orgaic matter has been sufficiently changed or oxidized to rob it of its foulness. In other words, it3 'chemical composition has been so .altered that it. is no longer capable of undergoing rapid putrefactive decomposition. Although it may appear inconceivable that the chief oVject of s wage purification prevention of the fouling of streams can, be attained by such invisible changes in the nature of the organic matter, nevertheless the discharge from efficient sewage-disposal plants may be. permitted to enter a stream without fear of causing a nuisance. The work of purification also proceeds in -the stream itself, as it does in the soil and in the purification works, nntil the oxidation is complete. Oxygen for that purpose Is sufficiently abundant in a reasonably clean stream, but if the stream is overloaded with putrescibU; zsw-. age there will not be oxygen enough and the stream will become putrid. If all the putrescrible organic matter should not be removed from the KPTsrflcn bv tb Tmtnfln.ft?n wnrVath 'remainder, if it u not tco I&rga in amount, will be purified in the stream. So the purification of sew age has tome to mean primarily the removal of the tendency to putrefy end not the total oxidation and re

Chloride of Lime Effective. ihe report gives detailed descriptions of different methods adopted for disinfecting sewage and states that of the disinfectants which have been sufficiently investigated, chlorine chloride of lime in the frrm of bleaching powder is th? most economical and efficient. The application of three parts p:r million of available chlorine in the form "of bleaching powder to a trickling-filter effluent effects satisfactory, disinfection. The removal of bacteria from the. effluent averages oyer 93 per cent, and the cost of disinfection ranges from $1 to $1.50 per million gallons of sewage, expending chiefly on the size of the plant. Crude sswage may be disinfected by the application of five to ten parts per million of available chlorine, the amount depending on the character of the sewage, at a cost of $1.50 to $3.50 per million of gallons. A copy of the report may be' obtained on application to the Director of the Geological Survey, at Wash, ington, D. C. On Trial for Murder. Grant Winrott, who was born and grew to manhood near Linkville this county, shot and killed his wife and wounded his child at the home of his wife's mother near South Bend, April 25. He narrowly escaped lynching at the time, but officers succeedeel in lodging him in jail. He was indicted for murder in the first degree and his trial in the St. Joseph circuit court began last Friday afternoon. The evidence was all in Tuesday evening and arguwents of attorneys were made Wednesday, and the case given to the jury Wednesday evening. Winrott pleads insanity but his fifteen year old daughter testified that he had several times threatened to kill her mother and there is little sympathy for him in the community where the family resided. The general opinion seems to be that the jury will return a verdict of guilty and imprisonment for life. Ycur Neighbor's Experiencs. How you may profit by it. Take Foley Kidney Pills. II. L.

In the vast equatorial forests of Africa the most dreaded of animals la the great bull ant. Cnlike other ants, it carries nothing away; everything is eaten on the spot Every kind of beast and reptile elephants, lions gorillas, snakes and man himself ßes before this terrible insect These ants march rlirough the for ests in a long thin column, two inches wide and miles In length. If they come to . an open space where there are no trees to shelter them from the sun they burrow underground and form tunnels, through which they march on. It often takes as long as twelve hours for one of these armies to pass. Any creature overtaken Is at once attacked with Irresistible fury and Instantly devoured. The strongest and the weakest the most fierce and the most timid of creatures are alike their prey. Natives overtaken by them seek ref uge in the nearest river or pond. Yet even when the ants themselves are drowned their strong pincers refuse to relax their hold upon any flesh they may have attached themselves to, and. though their bodies are torn forcibly away, their heads remain. .

Special to Post-Intelligenccr. Boston, Mass., May 17 R.sc:e Kussell Hess, of Seattle, a seizor, has been awarded the first undergraduate Bowdoin prize at Haivard University. The coirpstiaon was keen this year for the 250 plum, many candidates for the honor having submitted theses. Mr. Iless's winning essay is entitled "The Paper Industry and Its Relation to the Conservation of the Tariff." The Bowdoin prizes are annually awarded from a fu id. bequeathed by James Bowdoin, former governor of Massachmetts. The literary quality as well as the substance of the essays is taken into account in making the award. The Bowdoin prize winners are honored at commencement by mention on the official program. Roscoe'Hess is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hess, 1722 We&t 53th street, and is a graduate of Broadway high school. "While it is true that Mr. Hess is a graduate of a Seattle High School, it is no less true that his elementary and High School training was for the most part obtained in the Plymouth schools. When Mr. Hess left Plymouth he lacked one year of graduation here,; and we are informed by what we consider good authority, that he attended tie Seattle High School but one year.
