See Prof Stsly's work on sewers. Page 81
The velocity necessary to prevent deposits in
sewers is variouSly estimated at from to feet
per second by different authors. In extreme
cases sewers have TO be laid at an inclination
inducing only velocity of feet per second,
but it cannot be denied that they are less salts
factory in their workings, and require more
care in their maintainance. A main sewer in
Kalamazoo, Mich, has a fall of but foot in
1,200fQr distance of 7,400 feet. The lower
5000 feet of this sewer is 12 inches in diameter,
and the upward 2,400 Is 10 inches in diameter.
This sewer has been in use four years and there
has been no serious difllc ulty.
The system submitted for your consideration
has been divided into nine sections, each sec
tion isolated from the others, and thereby ren.
dering the construction of same independent,
and If necessary the completion of the whole
more expeditions. The elevation of Yamscraw
being much lower than that OF the rest of the
city, it will be necessary to discharge the sew
age of this section direct into the river, unless
the city is willing to bear the expense of CON
structing and maintaining pumping station
to transfer the sewage across the city into the
main outlet sewer, into which all the other sec
tions discharge. and which carries the sewage
into Tiulber Landing creek. Should you decide
to use any system Of pumping it will involve
change of portion OF this plan without any
material advantage being gained, and entailing
a heavy and continuous expense for mainten-
ance and operating.
herein submit approximate estimate of cost
of construction, based upon a preliminary sur
vey.

Report adopted.
The following is the report of the city sur
committee:
SAVANNAH, GA, Nov. 80, 1888.
Hon. r. r. Lester, Mayor, Savannah, Ga
STR have the honor to submit for your con-
sideration the accompanying plan. proies and
approximate mate for constructing sys-
tenn of sewerage for the city of Savannah
The different systems for the removal of ex-
crement and liquid refuse may be- divided into
three classes, viz: by direct removal, by the
pneumatic system and by water carriage.
The principal methods of the direct system
are the pail system and the dry earth closet
The pail system is used in many largo cities in
Europe and is advocated by many eminent
authorities But the exchange and cleansing of
the pals need to be enforced by such strict
police regulations as would be difficult to carry
out. When the dry earth closet il used, dry
powdered earth or ashes is added to the excreta
In sufficient quantities to absorb the moisture
and deodorize the whole mass. So much care
and attention is necessary TO provide proper
supply Of dry earth, to apply it properly, and to
attend TO its removal, that II can only be used
in exceptional cases, and cannot be relied upon
for general use.
costly machinery is necessary to provide for
carving away the refuse and the expense of
operating is large and constant.
In the water carriage system all that is
needed is a comparatively inexpensive conduit,
which provides for all OF the sewage, and, IL
properly constructed, the cost Of maintaining is
trihing
PERFECT SILVER.
A theoretically perfect sewer should be one In
which all Of the sewage would be carried rapidly
TO its outfal outside of the city, so that no time
would bs given for decomposition. The conduit
itself should be smooth, impervious TO water
and should be water tight throughout its entire
length 1t should be flushed at intervals, and so
thoroughly that the development OF any con-
siderable amount Of sewer gas would be impos-
slble It should be so well ventilated that the
small amount of sewer gas would be so diluted
with fresh air as TO be rendered harmless. 1t
should be provided with ample means for in
spection and repair. IL should be automatic
In its action so as TO require the least possible
amount Of care and attention.
When a system of sewers Is designed 70 carry
both storm water and sewage IL is called the
combined SYSTEM" and when designed TO
carry only sewage proDer-that is, the liquid
refuse from dwellings,, factories, ETC.. II is
known as the separate system.
The object OF the separate system OF sewers
Is the complete removal OF the sew age proper
from towns in such manner as shall best sub
serve the health aud convenience OF the inhab-
itants To accomplish this object three things
are reuuired, viz, constant and rapid how OF the

To Cure Kicking Cows.

Tie your cows short up in the stall,
then take a rope half an inch in dame
ter, tie it securely around the cow just
back of the shoulders, insert an inch
stick, which ought to be two feet long
Gan old buggy spoke does nicely, I'M
der the rope, give the stick couple OF
turns, the short end catching so as to
draw the rope very tight, and then
tuck the long end of the stick under the
fore leg. If the cow still offers to kick,
give the stick another circle turn. I
have, seen vicious kickers completely
subdued in two minutes by the simple
twist of the rope. The device is not
patented and is very effective, as the
cow soon learns that every kick means
an additional twist of the rope and
stick. OF course the rope should be
removed as soon as possible after the
milking is over, as the rope is very
powerful persuader- st. Paul Pioneer

Prince Bismarck refers to the words
of the press as nothing but printers

reads the papers more diligently than
he. Besides personally reading every
dav dozen or more of the leading
journals from various European capitals
he keeps a staff Of from four to six
clerks constantly at work like the ex-
change editors in newspaper office.
scanning the columns of the hundreds,
and perhaps thousands, OF papers from
all parts of the world, and clipping out
every item that can possibly be OF ln-
terest to him. These clippings, with
the names and dates of the papers from
which they are taken, are carefully
classified. and indexed, and pasted in
enormous scrap-books. These volumes
form conspicuous feature in the
Chancellor's private library There is
one lettered on the back Socialism,
another s.France-Military," another
"France- Civil" another Russia" an
other s'Culturkamp," and so on. Each
volume is subdivided into chapters, and
all SO carefully indexed that the states
man can in moment turn to what has
been said by any particular paper on
any particular subject.
This vast encyclopedia is made use OF
in many ways. A gentleman from Chi
cago few years ago called ON Prince
Bismarck, armed with note OF intro
duction from the German Minister at
Washington. The Prince received him
cordially, and after a few general re-
marks, said: II see that your Chicago
papers are pitching. into me ON the pork
question" And then he went on to
quote the exact language the various
papers had used, and replied to their
arguments. 'He told me- said the
gentleman. "more about the Chicago
papers and the pork-packing industries
than I knew myself, though / have
lived there all my life. And before l
left in came Congressman -, from
