She left the room, and behind her an impression of breeziness and health, of English girlhood and a certain bright cheerfulness which acts as a filter in social muddy waters.

Let the coffee be freshly ground, and, if possible, freshly roasted; put it into a percolater, or filter, with the chicory, and pour slowly over it the above proportion of boiling water.

When it has all filtered through, warm the coffee sufficiently to bring it to the simmering-point, but do not allow it to boil; then filter it a second time, put it into a clean and dry bottle, cork it well, and it will remain good for several days.

There are very many new kinds of coffee-pots, but the method of making the coffee is nearly always the same; namely, pouring the boiling water on the powder, and allowing it to filter through.

Our illustration shows one of Loysel's Hydrostatic Urns, which are admirably adapted for making good and clear coffee, which should be made in the following, manner:Warm the urn with boiling water, remove the lid and movable filter, and place the ground coffee at the bottom of the urn.

Put the movable filter over this, and screw the lid, inverted, tightly on the end of the centre pipe.

Filter the mixture through blotting-paper, bottle off for use in small bottles, and seal the corks down.

She took me up to the filter and let some water run in her hand, and gave it to me to lap.

I like amber that way, because I know how it was made, drinking the primeval weather, resinously beading each grain of its rare wood, and dripping with a plash to filter through and around the fallen cones below.

"'I could filter it so's it'd come as clear as sunshine,' says he.

It may now be introduced into the tank through a filter.

This unsightly appearance is owing to the simultaneous development of the spores of multitudes of minute Algae and Confervae, and can be obviated by passing the water through a charcoal filter.

The results showed that the easiest and most satisfactory way was to take 100 grains (this amount being preferred, as it reduces error to the minimum), dry thoroughly, powder finely, and macerate with frequent agitation for twenty-four hours in a few ounces of spirit, then to boil in this spirit for a short time, filter, and repeat the boiling with a fresh ounce or so; this, as a rule, sufficing to completely exhaust it of its resin.

The resin was collected on a tared double filter paper, washed with distilled water until the washings were entirely colorless, dried and weighed.

* IMPROVED FILTER PRESSES.

of water, the filter press is the best and the most economical, and it is to this particular process that Messrs. Johnson's exhibits at the Health Exhibition, London, chiefly relate.

A filter press consists of a number of narrow cells of cast iron, shown in Figs.

We give an illustration below showing the arrangement of a pair of filter presses with pneumatic pressure apparatus, which has been successfully applied for dealing with sludge containing a large amount of fibrous matter and rubbish, which could not be conveniently treated with by pumps in the ordinary way.

Another application of the filter press is in the Porter-Clark process of softening water, which is shown in operation.

By Mr. Porter's process, however, this is obviated by the use of filter presses, through which the chalky water is passed, the precipitate being left behind, while, by means of a special arrangement of cells, the softened and purified water is discharged under pressure to the service tanks.

One of the apparatus exhibited is designed for use in private mansions, and will soften and filter 750 gallons a day.

A very small filter suffices for removing the precipitate, and the clear, softened water can either be used at once, or stored in the usual way.

" This was good copy for the newspapers, and the whole story of wrongful discharge, unlawful arrest and insulting treatment of the strikers by the police began to filter into the public mind through the columns of the daily press.

The oceanic beings know better how to recognize their presence, letting them filter through their bodies for the renovation and coloration of their organs.

All the colors it shows are in the feathers, whose various markings are due to certain substances called 'pigments,' which filter into the feathers, and there set in various patterns.
