liquid portion, so that it may be dis
posed of without offense.
The engineers interested in this
problem seem to have had very
Utoplan ideals. Their object has
been to dispose of sewage without
offense and at the same time profit
ably. The first of these ends is easy
of attainment, the latter is probably
impossible to achieve The great
problem is how to separate liquid
and solid. This once done, the
solid can be desiccated and disposed
Of as easily as ashes or any other
form of refuse. The liquid can be
used for irrigation.
When chemicals are not used, the
separation can be effected mechan-
ically. Upward and downward
filtration may be used in connection
with and supplementary to settling
in subsidence tanks. The trouble in
purely mechanical treatment is the
odor of the efiiuent water. A proper
and sufficiently thorough applica-
ton Of chemicals only can remove
the odor. The necessity of perfect
deodorization is most felt In the case
of towns and cities in the interior.
Dilution is a great panacea for this
trouble, but is only practical near
large bodies of water. Inland cities
have to produce as clear and in
nocuous filter as possible Mechan-
zeal filtration alone will not effect
the desired result.

"put Il penny in the slot" automatic
machines. The apparatus Is stu
atcd Immediately over the passen-
gers head, and under the rack, and
Is contained i'm a small box 5 inches

power, and is obtained by the in
PRODUCTION of penny at the top of
the box, and by subsequent pres
sure of a knob, and will last for half
an hour, extinguishing itself at the
end of that time automatically. If
the light be required for an IN

an hour will suffice. The light can
be extlnguished at any moment by
means of a second button provided
for the purpose. One Of the special
features of the invention is that, If

THE OLD MAN.

Old man, q favored one thou art,
For which is due a grateful heart;
Few are the strong, or rich, or sage,
That share with thee the gift Of age
No broken shaft thy monument
How many fall their day half SPENT
Thy symbol, not Of te ars and grief
or Joy instead, q ripened sheaf.
Tis thine high and full survey,
From first TO last Of life's long way,
And thro' It all, most clear TO see,
Gods loving hand e'er leading thee.
'Tis thine TO have seen each darkest cloud,
That seemed both sense and faith TO shroud,
Illumed with Heavens reflected light
And changed TO day thy troubled night
'Tis thine TO have served both God and man
Throughout life's full allotted span,
And lay up priceless treasures here,
And store them for the upper sphere.
'TIs thine to have seen. as seen by few,
The marvels that our God can do,
The mustard-seed Of truth and right
Grow to huge trees Of wondrous height.
'Tis thine to have seen, not seen by all,
Gods work 90 on, tho workmen fall;
Go on unhindered thro' the age
While fell the good, the strong, the sage
'Tis thine, at length, awhile to wait
Serene beside the pearly gate
The gate, whose portals soon shall ope,
And crown with bliss thy lifelong hope.
