ton TO the u Just described
but Is bull, OF masonry, Is ON \
larger sca,e, and is more com
plete in is parts. \ brick tank
Is laid in hydraulic cement,
plaStcred smooth inside, and
placed near the cellar wall, with
the sink close to the opposite
side OF the same cellar wall, -
rs to give a short pipe between
the two, aud prevent the grease
from congealing in the inlet
pipe between the two. For
houses OF medium size the tank
may be about two feet or two
and a half feet square, the bot
tom about two feet below the
outlet pipe, which turns down
about Il foot, with a smooth.
round turn, the mouth being nj
ways under water. The inlet
should be half IA foot higher
than the outlet, TO allow the
grease TO collect that thickness
above the water line. The whole
must be covered 50 as not To
freeze. This tank is To be
cleaned out as often as the grease
and sediment collects in large
| quantities. If care is taken To
separate the richer portions OF
the dishwa,er for the pigs, and
to pour only watery Stops into
the sink, the tank Will not neel
frequent cleaning.
FILTERED RAIN-wATER.
While there are so many
dangers on almost every hand
from the use of the water from
wells, especially in towns and
villages, there is one resort that
is always safe, and that is filtered
rain-wator. The water which
comes from the clouds is not ab-
solutely pure, as it brings down
IN small quantities the impuri-
ties which float in the air, or
which lodge on roofs or in gut
ters, but nearly all may be re-
moved by fiitering, and the wa
ter will be rendered clear and
tasteless. The addition of pure
ice makes it entirely palatabIe.
George Geddes, whose scien-
tific and practical knowledge
combined IS equalled by few
persons, gave a detailed descrip-
ton of a cistern and filter for
the use of rain-water, from which
we condense the following ac-
count:
"The ci5tern is made only six
feet wide, for convenience in
covering. 1t is twelve feet long
and W feet deep, and will
hold 1000 gallons. The walls
are of stone laid in hydraulic ce-
ment. The bottom is four
inches thick, of concrete, made
of nine parts of gravel and sand
to one of hydraulic lime, just
moistened, laid on in a mass and
pounded hard. The lower
course of the fiat stones of the
wall (the footing) projects four
inches into the cistern, prevent
ing any crack. The top is Gov
cred with two limestone flags
six inches thick, resting on the
walls, with a man-hole at n
corner, the whole SO covered and
fitted with cement that no in
sect or surface water al enter,
except through the leader from
the roof. A hag-stone cemented
at the edges covers the q
hole; and this Is surrounded
with a brick wall a foot high,
and covered with another flag
stone, made air tight with ce-
ment. This leaves a foot of
confined air, and excludes frost.
This is covered with a foot Of
