THE TREATMENT AND lITILIZATIOM
OF SEWAGE.
To the &lase.

menmittes of the British Association has
been formed to investigate this subject in all its
bamiege—rhether chemical, physiological, or anti-
oaring, sanitary, municipal or sgricultnral. Properly
to carry out such an inquiry with • practical and,
numerous obeervations, gangings, and experiment',
aided by simultaneous analyses, are essential ; and
them cannot be accomplished, especially the analyses,
without the oontintied aid of effioient and therefore
highly-paid maistanta. Moreover. from time to
time it may be neceisary for the committee to
I purchase expensive apparatus, and to subject various
inventions and promises to • thorough and complete,
test ; for it is the desire of the oommittee, not only
to aaoertain, as kr as possible, the cause of the sani-
tary inefficiency of existing works: but also to
inquire into every suggestion which &fiords promise
of practical utility, in order that this investigation
mar be 'marching, the report practical, and any re-
commendations that may be made authoritative.
Since there 4 no subject of greater psnotical and social
importanceeto the public generally, and thus to the
various municipal authorities and other governing
bodies throughout the country, an appeal is made to
those officially interested in the subject to supply
the funds necessary for the investigation. it
stunrested that the subscriptions of towns o
different populations might be graduated somewhat
in the following proportions :—Where the popula-
tion does not mooed 10,000, f 5 Se.; between
10.000 and 25,000. £lO 10..; between 215.000. and
51000, £2l ; between 50.000 and 75,000. £3O;
between 75,000 and 100,000, £5O; above 100,000,
£lOO. All public bodies subscribing not leis than
£5 ss. will have the benefit of the information (min
time to time, as the results of the inquiry partake
of a conclusive character, and will receive • copy of
the report of the committee when published.—i have
the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,

Honorary Secretary pro tent.

THE SECRET OF FREEMASONRY.
To the Editor.
Sir,—is ancient and honourabl
Sir,—This e order has lately
rooeived a very illustrious addition to its rinks.
Now and then people are curious to know in what
the secret consists., and it morally is dismissed with
the observation, "Thor. is nothing really to tell, or
it would have been told long age." There mall in
nothing further to tell than this, which every good
bona Ade mason knows to be true, vi s That
every one who, to the beat of his ability, endeavour,
to discharge his duty towards God sad his
neighbour. earring out the leading secret and prin•
ciple of Freemasonry. As to the mere ontwarp
signs and tokens by which Freemasons make them-
wive* known to each other, a very indifferent MUDD
may, by a constant study of, and attention to them,
much eitoel In this particular any brother mason who
does not take the trouble and is otherwise a first-
rate member of the craft. Christianity and rola
Freemasonry are like twin brothers—Yours,
AN OLD MASTER MASON.
