SEWERAGE.

The success OF the system Of sewerage adopted
in Memphis under the charge OF Col George e.
Waring, Jr., the wellknown engineer, and an
authority on all questions Of the kind, has natu-
rally attraci ed much attention to his work. An
account OF 1t was recently read before the
Sanitary Institute OF Great Britain. and the
subject was discussed by some OF the aolesE
English engineers with marked uniformity In
approving OF Colonel Warnings system OF small
drains for sewerage alone, leaving the rain
water to be carried of on the surface The
President OF the institute, Mr.. Robert Rawlin-
son, said that Paris and Brussels and other
cities With large sewers were not properly pro.
tected. for in the vast spaces Of their great
sewers gases were generated that did Untold
mischief. London. so far as 1t has sewers, sui.

flooding. and some OF the great public buildings
were poisoned by sewer gas 1t was pointed
ont that the exemption OF Memphis from dis
ease would be largely due to the new legisla-
ton, which compelled every house TO be well
ventilated and provided for thorough house to
house inspection. This was secured at a cost
Of one hundred thousand dollarS-not tenth
