In early days thin wan thought to be due to aeration, and the tumbling of water down mountain Hide became the balds for poetic typifieation of purity. Tho cxjrimnntu of the MaxHachuHot Blutu Board of Health have shown that aeration ban little or no effect upon the condition of orgauio matter in water that in, the organic matter ia not anointed in ilH oxidation by agitation in the air. It wait alxo found that the , highest degree of activity in oxida tion process in to lie found in imi- .eccent or stagnant waters.

Tho players wore handcuffed in pairs, and instead of one man pitching or catching, thero were tw6 for each position on tho dia mond. Tho number of prisoners now in the "brig" on board of the receiv ing ship Minneapolis, awaiting sen tence for various misdemeanors, principally desertion, is unusually large, and every day thoy are taken from their narrow quarters and ex ercised for a couple of hours.

Tho promulgation of these facts led to an entire change in the ideas concerning the distanco necessary for stream purification, and it is now understood that no hard and fust rules can Ihj set for guidance in determining the purifying power of any watercourse. A royal Com mission, apMinted to inquire into tho conditions of England's rivers, rejHirting to tho Knglish Parlamont in the early seventies, held that no stream in tho United Kingdom was sufficiently long to effect its own purification. The familiar and oft-quoted principle is that a stream purifies itself in 20 miles, but how this distance was ever de termined or who was responsible for its general acceptance is, a mat ter of doubt; certain it is that the statement is entirely wrong in the majority of cases. Petteiikoffer, Hering. Wears, and others have given formula1 which iiro undoubt edly true for tho rivers upon which these can in no wise be ac cepted for rivers in general, and it remain for tho investigator to determine by actual experiment the purifying power of each stream with which he has to deal, Tho work of examination of the surface waters of the United States, recently inaugurated in the Di vision of Hydrography of tlio United States Geological Survey, in cooperation with ttie various I'arf inrahlp IHmoIiiIIoii.

A dispatch tolls of the killing'by Isaac Jianta, for several years resident of Albany, of his stepson Fred Morrison, at Valdes, Alaska, on Nov.24. Banta was on a spree and Morrison was Jtrying to get him sober, using force to prevent his getting liquor. Banta got mad and shot Morrison in the cabin where they were living together, where his body was found while Banta wag asleep near by on his cot. The coroner's jury found it to be a case of murder, but Bauta will, no doubt put in a plea of in- All For $3000.

The position of shortstop on one team was particularly well filled by a pair of young colored men, who by working harmoniously with four legs and four arms, covered considerable territory. The fielders, when not making one-hand catches put up their manacled hands, the right of one player and tho left of another, while tho man with the free right arm generally did the. throwing. There were no long hits, but somo remarkable catches were made, and errors were numerous, although the playing improved as tho men becaii( used to those they were fastened to. One lively young landsman, weighing 125 pounds, declared he could have done belter if he had not had a man nearly twice his ago and weight tp travel with, while tho efforts of a tall man and a short man to act in unison were very humorous. By the timo five innings were played the players were quite ex hausted, and, although tlio losers begged for one more inning, their guards, who hail almost forgotten 'It often made my heart gclie," writes L.
