markable results are announced from
the application of a new method of
destroying micro-organisms in water,
which was discovered about a year ago
by Drs. Moore and Kellermari, of the
Bureau of Plant Industry at Washlng-

certain quantity of copper sulphate In
the water to be purified. Fortunately
the dilution can be made so large that
no deleterious effects are produced up
on the water Intended for drinking
purposes. One part of copper sulphate
to eight million parts of water is the
proportion generally tiled, and it is
pointed out that. In order to obtain
any effect of copper from such a mix
ture a man would have to drink forty
gallons of the water.

the United States were treated by thl*
method with gratifying success. Not
