Dust In Cities.

Professor Tyndall states that almost the
whole Of the dust in rooms is Of organic origin,
and prominent among these organic bodies III
horse manure. The removal Of this offensive
contamination from the air Of infected localities
has been the subject Of careful experiment and
investigation by the London Board Of HEALTH
Not only have the droppinss been removed
from the streets, but the surfaces Of the pave
ments have been purified by jets Of water
thrown BY steam power whereby all the crevices
between the stones forming the pavements have
been cleansed. In some districts the practice
has been adopted Of covering all surfaces that
are soaked with foul organic materials with q
layer Of fresh earth. This has been attended
with the most satisfactory results The Val d.
Traven asphalt pavement is:however regarded
BY Sir Joseph Whitworth, the great English
authority on all questions connected with stree
economy, AZ offering the most promising relic
from such organic dust, since its introduction
will lend TO hasten the employment Of hot nj
engines with India rubber tires for all the pur
poses street traffic and the source or cause ofth
contamination will Of necessity disappear
