Tho players wore handcuffed in
pairs, and instead of one man
pitching or catching, thero were

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
