A Sewer.Gas Destroyer.

From the LOEOon 1lmeBJ
 What is known sewer ventilation ordi- narily consists in allowing the poisonous va- DOTS to escape from the sewers either through gratings in the roadway or through shafts or pipes into the atmosphere. It need not
 be pointed out how dangerous and detrimen-
 tai to health this practice is. Free ventila-
 latien should constantly take place in sewers,
 but instead of the atmosphere being polluted | by meph;tiO vapors, all organic particles and ! deleterious gases should be arrested on their way out and so treated that the products of such treatment should be perfectly innoc- usus when delivered into the atmosphere. ! This is now rendered quite possible by ar | ingenious sewer-gas exhaUster and destroyer which VIC recently inspected at the offices of Mr. Stephen Holman, O. E., of Great George street, Westminster. It is the in- vention of Mir. Keeling and consists of 8 ventilation column resem bling an ordinary lamp-post in shape, but being 1ore erna~ l mental in design. In the base of the col unn, which communicates by pipe with | the sewer, is placed special air-gas burner l surrounded by conical iron casing and sur I rounded by two conical iron chambers. A 1 very high temperature is created within the chamber and the cones by the burning of the gas, the iron becoming exceedingly hot The heat causes an up draught, and the our rent of vitiated air thus drawn from the sewer is brought into contact with the gas flame and with the ribbed surfaces of the heated iron cones above it. The cones are so ingeniously arranged as to bafle the draught and cause ultimate contact between the gases and the heated iron surfaces. By this means all the vital particles injurious to health are rendered perfectly innocuous and pass up the column and harmlessly out through openings near the top. The column is surmounted by an ornamental gas lamp. That the fever germs are absolutely destroyed may be inferred from the fact that the first cone has temperature eff about 620 degrees Fahrenheit, or that necessary to melt lead. Several of these destroyers have been under trial for some time past at Richmond, Ealing, Leicester, and other places, and have been satisfactorily reported upon by local medical officers of health and borough surveyors. Professor Attfeld, F. R. S., and Dr. Russell of St. Bartholemew's hospital, have also test ed Keeling's destroyer independently and re- port strongly in its favor

 MT. Cox's bill for taking the next census proposes to restrict its scope within some what narrower limits than the last and to have it's results published earlier. The re- port of the last cenaas will be contained in twenty-one huge volumes, of which four are yet unpublished. MT. Cox thinks that a good many subjects specially investigated and eIaborately treated in the last census will
 not need to be re. examined so soon. MT. Cox is quite right The last census was too costly and superfuous.

ALICE FISHER was buried on Tuesday
from the amshouso hospital OF Philadel-
phia, but her funeral was attended by the
most eminent and respected citizens and
they were honored by that attendance, for
Alice Fisher was one Of the nobiest and
greatest of women ; OF the kind that the
world most honors after they have left 1t.
Through her labors Philadelphia has been
given q corps Of trained nurses who are
justly respected rs members of skilled
and highly honorable profession, for by
their care many lives are saved that would
otherwise be lost through ignorant nursing
or no nursing. Medical men have often
been warm IN their praises Of careful
nursing, but q good nurse has been re-
garded as n rare product OF nature, and ],
has been left for a band of earnest and
untelHsh women like Miss Fisher TO prove
the possibility OF educating nurses Just n
We educate physiclanA. OF all the new
fields opening for woman's work outside
OF the home circle, not one Is better suited
TO her than this new profession, which TO
| a generation at least will only be choser
by tho most unseltish and the bost Q
women.

An Old Trick,

The Philadelphia newspapers are in.
spired to cay that the Reading loan has
been wonderful financial success. The
plain fact seems TO be that loan of a
hundred million dollars, which is a first
lien upon all the Reading property and
bearing A per cent. interest, has been
sold to syndicate of the leading bankers
of the world alta price less than S79 cents
on the hundred Z; that subscription for
q quarter Of this amount has been made
at s7i; being taken as soon as the books
were opened.
Where the success to the Reading CON-
pany in this is we do not well see. We
see that 1t has sold 100 cents for S7s or
less and we see that the people who took
the si00, 100000 could very well, in
person or by proxy, take t25 900 900 of it
over again at any price they chose to
name and as quickly as they wanted to.

bonds to sell, TO open subscription books
and clap them shut, and shout that the
whole load has bssn taken.

DIR NORMAN KERR, OF London, presi-
dent OF the Society for tho Study OF lnebriety
and chairman OF the British Medical asso-
citation of the Habitual Drunkards' leRislR-
tive committee, read q very interesting
paper before the International Congress OF
Anthropology in New York. He said I:
Heredity Ia tho most potent cause OF those
leading to inebriety. Fully One-half OF Inc
briates have had this fatal inheritance
handed to them. 1nebriste heredity may be
direct or Indirect In the direct form thore
may be an inate tendency to excess In mar
cotlcs II these bo ismpered with, 30 that
there can be no moderation. This direct
inebria,e predisposition may consist OF an
overpoweripg impulse TO get drunk, as
soon as a sip OF an intoxlcsnt arouses the
Unborn fame. There may be no craving for
liquor, but there is IN unmistakable un-
healthy impulse, difficult to Withstand.
Whether resisted or not, this class OF cases
Is endowed from birth with SO strong q
proclivity to intoxicants that the slightest
application Of an exciting cause almost pre-
clpitatos the subject into paroxysm OF Inc
briate exoess. In other cases there seems to
be sn actual prenatal craving for intoxi-
cants."
DIR. Kerr urges that the health history OF
inebristes should be carefully traced, 70
that proper allowance could be made for
the ply steal Inability under which many
suffer.

Concerning trash. We often
tell you that our stocks are
never allowed to descend to
trash.
What is trash? In general,
stuff too poor to be of use or
service, hence not worth deal
ing in. For example, limitations
of celluloid, frequently adver-
tised as genuine. Plenty of
them, fragile and worthless for
practical use.
Again. Women's Cotton
Hosiery. We offer nothing at
less than IS cents the pair. We
could sell a variety Of sorts at
half that or little more, but they
are coarse, loosely woven and
lacking in quality, shape, finish,
and durability. Is it wise to
buy trashy hose at two-thirds
the price of creditable goods
with double the wear?
You know.
And these are hints Of our
notions on trash.

A Great Drawback.

The great mass meetings which attend
national convention sittings lend them
their enthusiasm, but they are q great
drawback to the deliberateness OF their
counsel. A convention Of a few hundred
members that sits surrounded by ten
times as many people, cannot be unaf-
fected by their presence, and the feeling
of the galleries Is relied upon often TO in
fluence the action of the delegates. For
instance, on the last day of the st. Louis
convention there were people in the au'
dience who interrupted the proceedings
very indecorously with their exclama-
tlons In favor Of Gray and it looked as
though there was design In the perform
ance for Gray was certainly not the
choice Of the people either in st. Louis
or the country. The demonstration wa:
feeble and ineffective but national con
yentions should be protected from al
such influences. They assemble to recort
the sentiment of the delegates which
may be supposed to be thatOf the coun
try and they should be free from tht
dictation of local and special interests
There is no way OF securing this result
but by making the audience small enough
to put it under the control Of the conven
tion officers. Now there is hardly 2 pre-
tense of such control and there is mucl
space to be filed and so much noise 3
be overcome, that only the biggest
lunged speakers can make then
selves heard. The convention hall ha
necessarily ceased to be a consultatio
chamber. The principles of the parl
are not discussed there, but the work
the resolutions committee is taken as
comes from it. The convention hall
only for voting purposes and nominatin
speeches and brass bands and huzzas.
may be as well that the deliteration sha
be doneby committees, and no great harl
may be done by cutting down conventio
oratory; but the day may come when
very obnoxious influence may be exercise
by the masses that sit around and upo
the conventions delegates.
