A new motion in the construction of filters has been on exhibition at St. Louis, Mo., where it is hoped that the contract will be received by the pro moters for the filtration of at least a .portion of the city water supply. The filter Is the invention, of John Roche, formerly of Buffalo, N. Y., and the advantage he claims for his system is that it dispenses with the accumula tion of the filtered material, thus clogging up and interfering with the capacity of the plant, as in the case of the filters located on the land, and into which the water is pumped. The plan on which the filter is con structed is simple. In fact, it consists of nothing more than a boat set in the river, so arranged at the bottom that the water rises thru the sand which- Is in the filter, leaving the heavier sedi ment behind, to be washed away by the current. A model of the filter boat Is anchored in the Mississippi river at the foot of Angelrodt street. At this point the water is exceptionally! dirty. A bottle of water taken from the river here Is so discolored "by impurities and sand as to be entirely opaque. This impre water, however, after passing thru the open filter, is as clear as water from a spring,. " As trie current of the river strides the slats at the bottom of the filter the sediment is deposited on the out side of the slats. As the water, clarified of its heaviest sediment, flows by it, it naturally seeks its level, and backs up on the other side of the slats into the boat. Meanwhile the fresh w$ter, continually flowing down from above, deposits more sediment on the laths, at the same time washing away .the old sediment, thus preventing the laths, which, form the first filter, from, being clogged. Immediately above the laths is a fine wire netting, on which rests seven Inches of sand. The water, forced up thru the laths, passes thru the wire netting and thru the seven inches of sand, thru a second wire netting placed above the first layer of sand, and thru 18 .inches of sand, placed above the second netting1. p. m.

Action Taken by It Said to Have - Revolutionized Britain's Fiscal , Policy. Greatest Work Probably Was thewhich Subsidizing of Grand Trunk !" '?'".. Pacific Road. Special to The Journal. Ottawa, Oct. 31.The session of the Canadian parliament which has JUBt closed, has been one of the most remarkable sessions in the history of the* Canadian confederation. It has, in the first place, been the longest ses sion the Canadian parliament has ever known. Commencing oxi March 12, it lasted until October 24, a period of seven months and twelve days. The only session approaching it in length was that of 1885, the year of the Northwest Rebellion. That session, however, continued only for five months and twenty-one^days. The session has been important in many other respects. To the Budget speech delivered on April 16, by W. S. Fielding, the minister of finance, may be traced the political crisis in England which has resulted in the disintegration of the Balfour ministry and the Chamberlain campaign for a revolution of Britain's traditional fis cal policy. The Laurier government came into power in 1896 advocating a low tariff policy. To-day, however, the tariff is practically as protectionist as -when the conservatives were in power, with the exception of a preference of 33 1-3 per cent in favor of Great Britain. Before the session commenced, great pressure was brought upon the gov ernment to revise the tariff in the di rection of higher protection. Hon. J. Israel Tarte, the minister of public works, had resigned in October be cause his colleagues were not suffi ciently pronounced in favor of protec tion, and, backed up by the Manufac turers' association, was conducting a high protectionist campaign thruout the country. This forced the.govern ment's hand. To meet to some extent the rising protectionist sentiment, the government was evidently prepared to sacrifice the British preference. At the Colonial conference, held on the occasion of the king's coronation, the Canadian ministers had failed to se cure any assurance of a return prefer ence from the British ministers. On the contrary, the value of the Cana dian preference to Great Britain had been belittled by British officials. At the time Mr. Fielding delivered his budget speech, Mr. Ritchie, the Brit ish chancellor of the exchequer, had not presented in the imperial parlia ment his budget by ..which the corn tax -was repealed: and Mr. Chamber lain had not returne'd from'South, Africa.:-There was still a lingering hope that the British government might make an exception to the corn tax in favor of colonial wheat. Mr. Fielding took advantage of these cir cumstances as an excuse for deferring a revision of the tariff for the present. At the same time, he served notice on Britain that, if Britain did not wish to rciprocate preference with preference, Canada would feel free to withdraw her preference to Great Britain. The proposed reassembling of the joint high commission was also brought prominently forward, as a significant reminder that Canada would probably enter into reciprocal trade relations with the United States if Great Britain continued to spurn Canada's advances for reciprocity. Also, since Great Britain had done nothing to resent Germany's tariff discrimination against Canada for having, given Great Britain a preference, Canada took the matter in hand herself, and imposed a sur-tax of 33 1-3 per ,cent on-all imports from Germany. recognize that Mr. Fielding's budget speech indicated a parting of the ways. He lost no time after his return to England from South Africa in press ing upon his colleagues the import ance of granting a preference to the colonies if the solidarity of the em pire was to be conserved. . The result is known to the world. In this re spect, the session of the Canadian parliament just closed has made an epoch in history. than- does the United States . - - .."-:.- :^_ . - - A curious characteristic peculiar to t he Cali fornia redwood tree-is that if the bead is cut oft by lightning a new one -will gradually grow out in its place, as shapely as the first. TWO CONCERTS. A . r 1 O *% 1 J , idea appears to appeal $ popular imagination. The construction of the roadf will place an immense amount of patronage at the government's dis posal, and the government is not like ly to suffer from lack of an election fund. This may prove more potent in the constituencies than the argu I ments of the opposition on matters of detail. - -, M Redistribution Bill. The other measure on which the opposition has made its chief fight in parliament has been the redistribution bill. The liberals have always charged that Sir John Macdonald's redistribu tion bill of 1882 was a gross gerry mander, by which they were done great injustice. This injustice, they claim, was continued by the redistri bution bill of 1892. The British North America act (Canada's constitutional act) requires a redistribution of the constituencies "after each decennial census. This: is the first occasion on the liberals have had the chance of rectifying the alleged conservative gerrymander. Sir. Wilfrid Laurier professed a desire to be perfectly fair and non-partizan in the redistribution measure he introduced, and left the details to a joint committee of four liberajs and, three conservatives. But the conservatives claim that the lib eral majority on the committee, in spite of the premier's professions of fairness, has succeeded in turning the bill into an atrocious gerrymander, which will deprive the conservatives of a number of Seats. Much useful legislation of a non contentious character was put. thru during the session. The chief meas ure of importance was an act bring ing the Canadian railways under the control of" a railway commission. The Alaska boundary question pro voked two important discussions. At the commencement of the session the opposition censured the government for having failed to get the Alaskan boundary dispute settled, in connection with the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty .contending that, had Great Britain insisted,, the United States would have been willing to have made a settlement -which would have given Canada substantially what she desired in return for the concessions the United States wanted from Great Britain in connection with the Nica ragua canal. The opposition objected strongly to the American commission ers on the adjudication commission, maintaining that they were not "im- partial jurists." . Alaskan Boundary Debate. The other debate on the Question occurred the day before prorogation, after the decision of the commission had been published. The leader of the opposition again censured the gov ernment for not having secured a set tlement of the matter at the time of the negotiations for the Hay-Paunce fote treaty. He also attacked the government for having receded from the position it took at the time the joint high commission was sitting, and having accepted a tribunal of adjudi cation such as it then rejected. He contended that, after the appointment of the American commissioners was announced, the Canadian government should have insisted on the appoint ment of three Canadians as the Brit ish representatives. The premier de clined to discuss the merits of the question without having before him the full text-of Lord Alverstone's rea sons for his decision. But he admit ted he cou.ld not comprehend on what principle Lord Alverstone could have conceded two of the islands at the mouth of Portland channel to the United States. He mkde the very im portant' annouhcemeh't "that he be lieved: the time had come for Garia'da to have increased powers of self gov government by the .dominion. There have been several sensational happenijjgsjdurir IjlwfsessionvS like a bolt from the blue came the an nouncement that A. &. Blair,: the min ister or railways, had resigned from the government owing to his disap proval of the government's new trans-' continental railway project. Mr. Blair folldVed up his resignation by a slashing criticism of the scheme. - The ministerial explanations as to the resignation of Mr. Tarte, the for mer minister of public works, were also a matter of much interest. It was on the tariff issue that Mr. Tarte parted from his colleagues. It be came evident, after Sir Wilfrid Lau rier and Mr. Tarte had made their explanations, that the break was per manent. Mr. Tarte has. now practically rejoined his old party, the conserva tives, whom he left to help place Sir Wilfrid Laurier in power. Mr. Tarte's defection will injure, the government to some extent in the province of Quebec, but it begins to look as tho Mr. Tarte's power had been exagger ated. So long as the liberal party is led by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the French1 Canadians are scarcely likely to revolt from the liberal party to any large ex tent. The opposition has now only eight out of sixty-five members frora the province of Quebec. The con servatives can scarcely get less seats than that at the next election, but even with Mr. Tarte's help they will not get anything like a znajority. r The session was likewise remarkable for the large expenditures authorized by parliament. In this respect, also, all previous records have been, broken. The minister of finance, in his budget speech, showed a remarkable increase in Canada's trade. The total export and import trade of Canada has in creased from $224,420,485 in 1895 to $423,910,441 in 1902. The public ex penditure has correspondingly in creased. When in opposition the lib eral party condemned an annual ex penditure of $41,702,383 as excessive he showed that for 1902 the expendi ture was $63,970,799. Still the rev enues were so abundant that there was a surplus of $7,291,398 on current ac count. Mr. Fielding estimated his surplus for 1903 at $13,350,000. The actual surplus proved to be $14,326,- 935, and a still Bigger surplus for the current financial year is anticipated. During the past session parliament has Voted $5,390,968 in supplementary es timates for last year, and $64,700,837 in main and supplementary estimates for the current -yean It has author ized railway subsidies to the extent of $13,027,000, steel and /iron bounties amounting , The water gathers on top of the second layer of sand at the rate of 25 or 30 gallons a minute, if such a flow is desired. This water is apparently free from all impurities, for it has passed, thru the first filter of laths, thru two fine wire nettings, and thru two layers of sand. The upper layer of sand is finer than is the lower one. When the filters are made, for .use, three layers of sand.will he -Jised instead, of two.V f i':, ' / : W- The new railway will start from Moncton, in the province of New Brunswick, where it connects with the Atlantic ports of St. John and Hali fax. - It. will run westward thru the provinces of New Brunswick and Que bec to the city of Quebec, which will be Its summer port.

Bob Brown of -Fox Hollow is a woodsman who gets much game in season, yet uses neither gun knife nor any other weapon, except occa sionally a club or stone. He has a record of choking bears to death, and even a wildcat is among, the trophies that he bagged in that way. His manner of hunting bears is to trail one to its feeding ground, get to the windward of it, creep stealthily upon it, arid when near enough throw a horse-blanket or, sometimes, his coat over itsxhead. While-the bear is blinded und its forelegs are en tangled in the blanket or coat Brown jumps in, finds the bear's windpipe with his right hand, clutches it with a grip lilce a vise and actually chokes the animal to death. At any rate, he has succeeded in kiiilng two bears in that way. One weighed more than 200 pounds and the other was a 110- pounder. --._ '.-- The wildcat th,at Brown' choked to death jumped at him from a hollow stump* where she had kittens con cealed. Brown, who is a powerful man, seized" her by the throat while she was still in the air and held her at arm's length until she -was dead, with her hind legs drawn clear tip to her breast. Brown killed a wildcat once -with: a single blow of his fist, crushing-the animal 's skull. Ruffed grouse, or partridge, as they are sometimes called, will ny to a tree when flushed if they hear the barking of a dog. Brown hunts partridges by imitating the. hark of . a whiffet, which frightens up the birds. When they tree, which, they do at once, he brings them down with stones, with Which his ai mis said to be almost unerring. He it^-also- able, to kill a running rabbit by stone-throwing. He is. credited with, having brought down a deer one time which was' bouncing along thru the Woods, pursued by hounds, and which had run safely the gauntlet of three hunters who had fired at it. A stone as big as his list was Brown's weapon. He threw it a "oAstanee of twenty yards. It struck, the deer at the base of^ the skull, crushing it.v : From Winnipeg to the Pacific coast the line will be built and owned by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway company, the government assisting its construction by'guaranteeing bonds of the company and taking a mortgage on the road. The line from Winni peg to the Pacific coast will open up the** northern and unsettled portions of the Northwest territories and Brit ish Columbia, and will give Canada a Pacific port at Fort Simpson, some 350 miles north of Vancouver. In spite of strenuous opposition the government has carried its scheme thru the commons and the senate. This'will be one of the chief issues on which the government will appeal to the- country at the general election. It is an immense undertaking.-but the country is prosperous and the general company.

' Like most printers, T was ambitious to own a paper. I looked the map. of Minnesota over and saw that Fillmore was a large county with its seat ijti the exact center, where I figured it would likely remain. I looked up the paper printed there and found it to be a very inferior sheet, evidently in the hands of a man who knew little of the business. I wrote to him, asking him if he wanted to sell, and, if so, his price. He replied he was anxious to sell and.would take $700.. By dint of that severe ecoTioipy peculiar to print ers I had saved up about $100, but I at once replied, saying I would take the paper- 'I went out there, bor rowed $600 of some men I had never "seen nor heard of before and came into.the possession of the Preston Re publican on May 1, 1865.
