Haven az much rs ten grams 10 the gallon have
been deteCted; but fortunately the whole OF thus
acid is neutraized, or rather converteo into sui.
pilates OF lime and magnesia, by the waters Of
several streams, which, flowing h1ougb lime
stone formations, discharge their waters into
the river at and above Reading, and even at that
place the water has been found to test alkaline y
In reference TO impure drainage in the river
it is stated THAT much the largest proportion
of Objectionable matter Is now thrown into the
river at Manayunk, both as town drainage and
refuse from mills, of various characters, and as
this is the highest point up stream where we
find impurities in large quantities flo wing into
the pool, the first question 10 decide is as to the
pfactcab1lity OF preventing this sewage polut-
ing the water In the river" The committee
state that this matter could be carried oil by
sewer along the eastern shore of the river.
As TO the supply Of water this report states
that is found that the increased demands for
water do not obey the same laws as that of the
population, each year showing that larger
supply is, required than the accession to the
number OF inhabitants would appear TO indi.
cate. The increase in the population for the
last ten years preceding 1850 was about 1910 al
which rate the population now would be 76S, ,S7l,
and, taking the same rate of increase for the
next twenty years, we should have in 1887
population of 2278, $50. The increase in the
quantity of wafer supplied in the last ten years
has been about SS per cent, at which rate the
Ions per day, and the maximum required during
the summer months would probably be las, ,622,-
361 gallons per day.
Inc noW OF the 'Schuylkill has been set down
at about 4OO,0O0OO0 gallons per day, but during
ten months of the year would probably be at
least five times greater. The report estimates
the available waters of the whole valley of the
river to be fifty per cent. of the annual rain fall,
making the whole flow equal to ninety billion
cubic feet year, or an average of eighteen mil
lions per day. 1t is suggested that this waste
water could be made available by establishing
pools or lakes of storage at several points on
the river, in which the superhuous waters could
be kept for gradual use
The committee, in. conclusion, offer the follow
ing suggestions;-
First. By the construction of a sewer from
Manayunk to a point below Fairmount dam,
Second. By the improvement Of the water
power to its fullest extent
Third. BY the erection of large auxiliary
engines, 10 be used during the dry weather of
summer, which might to some extent be so
arranged as to be able to raise the water from
below the dam, in case any accident should
occur to that important structure
Fourth. Additional engines of large size at
the Spring Garden Works, capable of supplying
the Delaware reservoirs as we'll as their own.
Flith. The construction of very large distr-
buting reservoir or reservoirs.
Sixth. The building OF large retaining, COM
pensating reservoir upon some Of the streams at
the headwaters of the river.

BASE BALL-l'or more than year
the people Of the surrounding towns have had
base ball on the brain Jackson escaped until
last week Then base ball club was formed.
We went into II, The first game was played on
last Friday. When a boy, we were good at play
ing town bnll," "bull pen, cat and 'Antho-
ny overs" but here wns something new. The
ball was too large, and too hard. The bat, in
stead Of broad paddle, was great round stick,
like the club Of Hercules. We caught the ball
once, and several times we did not catch it. We
took the bat once, but the ball. instead Of coming
up as high as the shoulder, was pitched along
close to the ground. We struck at It three times
and never touched IL; but the last time, man In
our rear caught 1t, and fellow they called the
umpire, or some such name, said we were out,
and what was worse than all, lie said we were the
third man who had been put out, and that this
put all of our side out.
But never mind. We are going to learn. We
will yet learn the technicalphrases. They cannot
be worse than we had to learn when playing mar
bfes, such as "knuckle down." mo roundance'

by ENHANCEMENT in the shaft Of machinery, had
both his legs broken, spine severely injured, and
was for nearly n year entirely helpless. This man
found relief very soon by the application of plus

not be had at q lower rate, am surprised that
surgeons do not make use of these perforated
pasters TO the exclusion Of all Others as their
hexibility and adhesyeness are greatly in advance
of all other plasters with which am acquainted ;
while the perloatons peculiar to them rendered
them greatly superior to all Others for ordinary
surgical uses. Knowing the pasters to be so
useful have no scrupes that my sentiments
should be known. ]. w. JOHNSON, NJ. ID.
