Information Which May Be of Yalne to Local Inquirers. P1BT OP THE SUPFLI SUBTERRANEAN The two great safeguards for London arainst cliblera are good drainage and good water supply, according to the Tall MM Budget, which describes the method by which Thames and other water is made drinkable before it is supplied to the con sumer. For a considerable period in the early history of the companies supplying Thames water to London no attempt was made at filtration. The water in question was drawn from the river at London Bridge,and delivered in all its native impuritv in fact, like the quality of mercy, unstrained. The London Bridge waterworks, which consisted of distributing conduits connected with pon derous wheels constructed under certain of the arches of the bridge.aiter an existence of more than two centuries, were removed in the year 1822 to make room for the new bridge. But the Thames companies con tinued to derive their supply of water from the tidal portion of the river between Southwark and Chelsea, some on the north WflTEf alt" " ' .l "" ' ' "' ' ' s "" "'.' c . i v x ,-. , e. A V-4flQg and some on the south side. It cannot be said that this state of affairs gave unlimited satisfaction to the consumers. As early, indeed, as the year 1827, a pamphlet en titled "The Dolphin" was published, in which the state ot the wster supply was severely handled. No effective measures for its improvement, however, were taken until 1847, when the Lambeth Company made preparations to remove its source of supply to Thames Ditton, a course which was subsequently followed by all the com panies, under the gentle pressure, in some cases, of the water act of "l8."2. Early Efforts at Purification. But the companies had already taken some action for the purification of the water; subsiding beds were provided so that the fluid portion of the fiver was alone supplied to the consumers, and a system of filtration even was adopted Dy the Chelsea and some other companies. It is but fair to add that the companies appear to have recognized their responsibilities, in spitaof difficulties buch as the opposition on aesthetic grounds, some 10 or 12 years since, to the extension of the Chelsea Company's storage reservoirs and filtering beds. The metropolis water act of 1852 marked an era in the water supply of London. After a few years ot grace, to enable the companies to carry out the necessary works, the taking of water for domestic use from the river below Teddington Lock was prohibited, every reservoir tor the storage of water for do mestic use was to be covered over if situate within five miles of St Paul's Cathedral, all water supplied lor domestic use was to be effectually filtered, and provision was made for a constant supply under certain conditions. This act was amended and ex tended in 1871 by a further act, which it is not necessary for present purposes to notice. Interesting, however, as the history of the London water supply is, the point to which most importance attache's at the present juncture is the quality of the .water under existing circumstances. The supply for all purposes, including domestic use, street-watering, sewer-flushing, fire extinction, and trade, is now about 200,000, 000 of gallons a day. The area of supply ex tends far bevond the boundaries ot the YTflnJEOS county of London, and is estimated to con tain a population of 5,500,000. Bather more than half the water supplied is taken from the Thames, about 30 per cent is drawn from the Lea, and the remainder from springs and wells. It is evident that the purity of the river water as delivered to its consumers is of primary importance, and that any impurity in the "companies' reser voirs or mains may have a verv serious in fluence upon the health of London. From the Kiver to the Tap. It may, therefore, be interesting to in- ?uire how the river water is dealt with rom the time when it leaves its bed until it reaches the consumer's premises. All the companies supplying river water, whether from the Thames or Lea, have subsidence reiervoirs, into which the water is first turned for the purpose of allowing such of the suspended solid matter as will to settle, as well as filter beds, through which the water must afterwards pass be fore entering the reservoirs supplying the public; but the mode in which the filter beds are constructed differs. Thus the depth of the materials of which the filtering bed Is made up varies from a total of 8 feet at the Chelsea waterworks to 3 feet 6 inches at the East London waterworks. The section which we . give shows the materials em ployed by tha Grand Junction Company at the Kew Bridge waterworks. There 'is a foot of coarse gravel, six inches ot fine hoggin, and three feet of sand. A good rate ot percolation is four inches an nour, so that it would take about nine hours for the water to pass through a sand bed of this depth. The nature of the material used for filter lag also varies slightly. Without going into unnecessary detail, it may be sufficient to say that a layer of fine sand, varying from two feet to four and a half feet in depth, forms the surface in each case. Layers of shells, hoggin, coarse gravel, and boulders, or some of these materials, form the lower strata of the filter bed; but it seems to be universally agreed that the sur face of the bed is a more important factor than the lower layers. "O Renewing the Filter. In the early days of the domestic filter it was by no means an uncommon thing for the filter to be retained in use without atten tion until it actually became so clogged with impurities as to be unable to perform its 1 unctions. It may be so still in many house holds, for the public are astonishingly slow to, learnv or adopt means of security. It need scarcely be sat tb a neglected vtbo sow bnrSfi& filter is of little use, and may even communicate contamination. The water companies, therefore, observe the flow through the filter beds, and at frequent in tervals, suggested by experience, cause the surface of the sand to be removed tor cleansing, and at longer intervals the whole bed to be entirely renewed. A very ingenious contrivance has been patented by the engineers of the Grand Junction Waterworks for the washing of sand from the filter beds, as well as all new sand which is employed. We give a sketch which shows the machinery at work in re newing one of the largest filters at Kew Bridge. The sand is thrown into an iron hopper from wheelbarrows. A jet of water at high pressure drives it up a pipe into a second hopper. Arrived there the heavier particles sink, while the lighter, including the accumula tion of mud, run away in an overflow of water. This operation is gone through in '.nine hoppers, when the sand is delivered crisp and fresh into a trolley, ready to be spread upon the filter bed. The companies together have 63 subsiding reservoirs for unfiltered water, covering 480 acres, and possessing a capacity of nearly 1,300,000,000 gallons, and 107 filter beds covering nearly 110 acres. A Partial Subterranean Supply. It is a fact, moreover, not generally known that at least three of the Thames water companies, either habitually or occasionally, supplement their supply trom subterranean sources. According to the late Mr. J. Thornhill Harrison, there is a very large volume of water steadily flowing as an underground river along the gravel bed which overlies the London clay, and it is apparently this underground river which has been tapped: The importance of this additional source of supply lies in the fact that the water derived therefrom can be at once turned into the filter bed without passing through the subsidence reservoir, aprce ? g u ' Qflfl VEl.;V '' and thus practically render the companies largely independent ot the open river in times of flood. This water has, in fact, been already filtered by nature, and there fore passes through the filter beds of the companies almost as a matter of form. The question remains to be considered whether the filtration, as carried out by the companies, is effectual. Fortunately this can be answered by two tacts. In the first place, the annual rate of mortality in Lon don is lower than that of towns supplied with a theoretically better class of water; and, secondly, no epidemic in London has ever, at any rate of late years, been traced to the water supply. Both these facts may, indeed, be strengthened. The mortality in London from diseases which are commonly thought to be communicable by contami nated v.ater is exceptionally low, and is apparently at least as low in those districts which are supplied with filtered river water at. in those supplied with the unfiltered deep-well water, excellent as it is, supplied by the Kent Company. Again, although some time since typhoid fever was epi demic as near the intake as Staines, there was no appreciable effect on the rate of mor tality in London, either from general causes or typhoid and kindred complaints.

In his "Treatment of Cholera," says: "As it Is known that the cholera microbe does not flourish In ticid solutions, it would be well to silently acidulate the drinking water. This may be done by adding to each pi ass of water half a tea'jpoonful of Ilors ford's Acid Phospliate. Tills will not only render the water ol an aeid reaction, but also render boiled water more agreeable to the taste. It may be sweetened if desired. The Acid Phosphate taken as recommended, will also tend to invigorate the system and correct deMiity, thus giving increased power of re sistance to disease. It is the acid of the sys tem a product of the gastric functions, and hence will not create that disturbance liable to follow the use of mineral acids." In a Piano We Can Salt Too.

There are reports in circulation of a conple of good wells in Doddridge county, W. Va., but nothing definite. can be learned regarding their capacity, or the sand in which the oil, if any, was lound. There is some excitement in the vicinity according to the late reports. Wells at Sistersville. SrsTxnsvrLLE J. M. Guffey, Russell & Me.

Thb New York papers this week say that The Boston Howard Athenaeum Company, which is playing at Tony Pastor's, is better tban ever. Bertholdi, the wonderful equili brist, is still the chief star, but there are a lot of new people in the company, which comes, by tho way, to the Grand Opera House noxt weok. A new comedy of the type now prevalent and popnlar was produced in Boston on Monday. It is called "The Sportsman," and it is a big hit. The Charles Frohman Com pany, which played "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" here last season, or the best part of it, Joseph Holland and Georgle Drew Barrymore, especially, is doing the new play. New York does not appeir to be overbur dened with theatrical novelties or plays of real Importance this week. AttheBioad way Theater Do Wolf Hopper has put on "The Lady or the Tiger" once more. This is the comic opera Bosenfeld wrote for McCaull a long while ago, and Pittsburg has never seen it. DerAngells shaies the comedy honors with Hopper.

She will appear la "As in a Looking Glass" and "Fedora." There is little doubt but that "Imagina tion," which is to be dono next week at the Alrin Theater, will excite considerable attention here. It rather shocked and thor oughly amused people in New York when it was produced there and since then has excited several other large centers or popu lation. In Chicago the critics have been talking columns about "Imagination" and the theater where it has been given has been packed. There fore it is clearly a play of real attractive ness. Sydney Rosenfeld, the prolific adapt er and writer , wrote "Imagination." The company which will appear in it noxt week at the Alvin Theater will be equal to the work. The chief object aimed at by "Im agination" is to make people laugh. The performance of "The Mascot" at the Duquesne Theater pleases the majority, but it puzzles a good many to account for Mr. Dixey's exclusion of humor from the first two-thirds or his impersonation. The last act brings out both Dlxey and Lennox in the broadest of comody, and is unques tionably the most enjoyed. Miss C'oidou has never sung so well here as in tho parf of Bctlina; her voice Has mellowed and her method has Improved wonderfully, and in fine she is very near tno ideal comic opera aitlste.

The flavor of this celebrated Whisky is something un usual, and it is admittedly the choicest article upon the market. Speaking concern ing it a prominent man recently said: "It requires a refined taste to atipreclate a fine Whisky. Q. F. C. has become popular because it is so fino, and its popularity shows that the public taste Is becoming more re fined. I do not see why people will use an inferior article when they can secure the best at practically- the same figure. I use only O. F. C."

Four Which Are Most Cer tainly Amazing. Something Which Has Set a Great Many Tongues Talking And Will Greatly Pleass and Particularly Interest Too. - Wonders will never cease. The writer having had four of these wonders come under bis personal knowledge, deems them of enough Importance to be placed before the readers of this paper. So many people know David Noyes of Manchester, N. Y., that his own words will be strongest: "I suffered from heart disease for six years," he said, "and for the past two years was unable to do any work what ever. I was told by my physician that I never could get well. I was also paralyzed on the right side, from the hip down; and snffered severely with lumbago, and a trembling of the hands. I am now taking the seventh bottle of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and feel entirely cured of all these troubles, and feel like a well man. It is tberandest medicine ever made, and all my friends are amazed at the cure." The second wonder. Mr. Michael Crowley, of 74 Laight street. New York City, will tell in his own way: "I was suffering from In flammatory rheumatism, and could not eat or sleep, and doctor's prescriptions had no effect to relieve me. After taking two bot tles of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I can eat and sleep well, and I think it has saved my lire. I am getting better every day. One week ago I could not walk, now I can walk a mile. It is a wonderful medicine." The third wonder, S. A. Dysart, of Norton dalo, N. B , will tell himself: "For the benefit of those who may be suffering and fail to find relief, I desire to state my case. For over a year I suffered from a heart disease, a constaht pain, with severe attacks of pal pitation, until I anticipated a sudden death at any time. I became weak and debilitated, with a loss of energy, despondency, etc Hearing Dr. Greene lecture, he so faithfully described my condition that I determined to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. My Improvement has been con tinuous and rapid. I have taken five bottles, and the pain and palpitation are gone. I sleep well, have an excelleut appetite and feel well." The rourth wonder is presented by Mrs. F. G. Hicks, of 32 Avenue A, Vick Park, Rochester, N. Y. She says: -"I oive this tes timonial for the benefit of others. I had given up all hope of bains cured; had doc tored and tried everything. My trouble was neuralgia of the stomach. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy was recommended to me. I took six bottles. It perfectly cured mo, and I earnestly recom mend it to all." Now, when it is considered that this re markable medicine is purely vegetable and harmless, and for sale by all druggists at $1 00, It seems strange that so many people should unnecessarily suffer from the pains and weakness or disease when this sure and positive cuie is within the reach of all. It is the discovery and prescription of the eminent physician.
