1t is practice with the owners Of many OF the
sieam-engines in this City send the escape seam
into the sewers IL could not well be sent TO worse
place. Its heat serves TO decompose large portonoi
the vegetable and animal matter which the sewers
contain and convert solid substances into gas, which
escapes 1t every opening sometimes in the interior Of
cwelings thus poisoning the atmosphere with mala-
ria that never would have been developed but for the
heat of the stesm. We and know that cutters
filed with decaying matter not offensive or IN
healthy durirg cold weather, but let thom be heated
bv the sun or flow Of hot water and we soon CRY out
against the rank eluvia Just the same effect is pro-
duced by the heat OF the steam in the sewers and the
gas thus created becomes ledestroyer. If there is
any doubt upon this subject let the doubter apply his
nose to any Of the openings where steam comes out
and again at distance snl he will soon learn the diff
ference
Ibis subject should be taken into siierstion by
the Common Council, AMI proper men should be at
once appointed TO investigate and report the facts
which If fund a. we believe, should lead to prohi
bon Of escaping steam into the sewers. There can
be no possible objection against sending it into the air
at the top OF the building what would be still better
conGersing it in water for the Of the engise, by
which great amount Of fuel would be saved. rs heat
is worse than wasted now.

strictly temperate character of the proprietors
Of that establishment was sufficient guarantee that
tley were not playing of Joke at his expense-so
be went TO the head of the steps and looked down
after the bottles. Just then one Of The "Original

the stranger say Oh bad luck to me nat will
