Read this from the Spectator OF to-day:
Itappcars TO be gradually becoming certain
tha; The Prince and Lord Chesterfield were
attacked by the fever during the visit to LORD
Londesborough. 1t appears that the Prince
slept III room into when closet opens,
and the closet communicates with ccsSpool
ten feet below which has not been cleansed
for six Years, and this very room was occu-

The following suggestions are offered at
the close of a long article by the Telegraph:
If civilization sadly brought the curse it
must bring the cure. The progress Of big
towns and great cities crowds together
masses of men who could live tolerably
healthy lives if they would keep apart, but
who, piled in a reeking mass of humanity,
constitute a new danger. Scatter the three
millions of Londoners over q space like
Scotland, with room between the houses,
and sanitary questions solve themselves;
crowded up, we require underground miles
of sewers. Hitherto we have thought that
to provide the sewers themselves was quite
enough. Now we learn that we might as
well think of escaping all danger from gun
powder because we stow it way beneath the
earth. These miles OF sewers connect all
our domestic existence in one chain; we
are linked together. One man may spend
hundreds of pounds in cleansing and watch
ing his house, yet his sink-pipes and closet
pipes must have an outlet, and this outlet,
unless most carefully constructed and watch
cd will be an inlet for sewer gas from the
surrounding neighborhood. The remedies
