276 INGLIS ON MATHEMATICS IN RELATION TO ENGINEERING. `(Mathematics in Relation to Engineering.'' SIR O.B.E., M.A., LL.D., F.R.S., By PROFESSOR CHARLESINGLIS, Past-President I.C.E. APPLIED with intelligence and leavened with common sense mathematics can be of incalculable value to engineering science, but mathematics ill-conceived and inaccuratelyinterpretedcan give birth to half-truths more dangerous than total lies. This is well summed up in the familiar statement that " mathematics is a good servant but a bad master...

KEY ON CLEANING FILTER OF SANDS. 323 Paper No. 5460. U Cleaning of Filter Sands." KEY, By THOMAS Dow O.B.E., M.I.C.E. (Ordered by the Council to be publish& in abstract form.)? FUNDAMENTALLY slow sand filter " and the " rapid gravity filter " the '' are similar, sand, overtopping a gravel bed of 18 inches supported by some form of underdrain system, being the filtering medium used in both. The difference between them lies in the method employed for removing the impurities from the top surface...

334 CLEANING ON KEY O F FILTER SANDS. sands are graded hydraulically to the top of the bed and form patches which, under the influence of the vertical upward current of wash water, are still more or less floating. Their position and size vary considersbly between one wash and another but, if left, they must ultimately form denser masses and be carried down into the bed. It is hoped that when the correct 'rate of wash water rise can be applied these formations will disappear. From the foregoing it will be appreciated that the accepted method of cleaning a t e r sands in modern a t e r s leaves something to be desired and also that the presentline of approach to this long-standingproblem deals with only one factor in the problem of moving flocculated silt which rests on the surface during filtration into areas where the outflow of the backwash water can lift i t b u t not the filtering sand-out of the filter...

In another case of which the Author has been informed, trouble occurred on one set in a South American power-station, when the inlet valves of all theother sets, running independently, suddenly closed simultaneously. It can be assumed that some resonance occurred in a manner similar t o t h a tdescribed above. The examples cited above are by no means isolated, and progress in this field of engineering science can best be served by a frank exchange of experience...
