It should be noticed, that the more compact the sandand the stones the wafer passes, the more perfect will be theprocess of purification. Cisterns are often constructed in cellars, and divided by apartition, reaching nearly to the bot-tom, into two unequal parts (fig. 3).The largest division, i, is half filledwith layers of sand, of various de-grees of fineness, through which thewater passes, and rises perfectly clearinto the division, c. A similar cistern with two partitionshas been recommended (fig. 4). Thepartition a does not reach quite tcthe bottom, and the other, &,%as anaperture.
