Abstract
WITH the passing of Sir Alexander Houston on October 29, the world of water purification has suffered a very severe loss. During the first three decades of the present century his name has dominated all questions relating to the scientific treatment and purification of water, and the worldwide reputation which he rapidly came to enjoy was abundantly earned and more than deserved. His passing is a no less severe loss to the large circle privileged to enjoy the personal charm of his friendship; and the debt owing for the kindly help which has emanated from him can now only be repaid to posterity.
