AN EEL IN THE PIPE The heion of our drinking water is of nuch more complex origin than in generally known. Before entering the various obangela of distribution, the water, as it leaves the yeservoir, pranes through a kind of sieve, which is thought to keep back non-drickable ingre. dianta of the grosser govt euch is atramo twiga-to say nothing of drowned kittens and puppies which will sometimes find their way! into theep handy ceptacles. The meshes of tho siere, bogever, are by no means so fine na to exclude infutile cels, which thread the harrier, descend into the channels of distribu tion, and finally unter the water-pipes. By this time, thanks to the nutritions qualities of the liquid with which London slakce its thirat, the enterprising apodian hos developed to a considerable bulk, antil the pipe becomes auch a very tight fit thatfartber progress is imprac ticable. There it sticka ose of truo embolism-either vatil the impeded water above it anuses the pipe to burat," or till death by pressure lauras it to decompose and trint the drinking supply of some konsehold. This ocourrunce is much less rare than is popularly Buapooted. Wa. have instances. within our knowledge in which the gardener of á,sabarbari vill ha ett through #pipo, and the head of an immoned cel at the same tino-thereby disclosing to the puzzled householder the eanse of the leakage of water above the point of obstruction. A vivation is an excellent thing in its proper place; but we object to its Les being subserved by our water-pipna fo the possibla arrest and certain pellation of our drinking supply.→→Lancel.

THE "ECONOMIST ON THE RATE
OF DISCOUNT, The raising of the Bant rate from 2 to 3 per: cent. this week was a very unexpected event. In the best inforpied quartera on the previous day, least nutil be very aluse, the opinion was flat, though money was getting more and mory in demaad, geb-tha-Bank-was so strozig that there would either be no riso for a week, or at most a very alight rise. Ch the Stock Exchange, where there has lately been a great deal of speculative buying, thore was more apprehension of dearer monoy, but not wuch fear of so great a change. Still, the action of the Bank, though unexpected, ia quits justified by the event, and the facts which ve since become known. The dewood for womey, both at the Bam and in the open market, bas continued strong at the advanced rates. Possibly this is to me extent the result of procnotions on the part of the publio, who may he over-providing themselves; but so far as we can learn the enrreat requirements are very large, and quite np to the eupply of niouey, "This demond is the best justification of the atop which hasbeen taken. To have continued to supply money at 1 pir cent. less than this pub lio were willing to pay would only bare sided after a little in a still ure catastrophic change than what has occurred. The point which is most difficait toxinderstand in Connetion with the advance is the state of the Bank account: Since the rate was reduced to 2 per ceut. in July, the Bank has not got much weaker, and it is till very stroar... The Uabilities in the Banking department--On the 12th of July were £32,712,000, they now are £27,395,005; decution, crear, $5,337,000.
