the missing dollars of 1904, which are
worth 5000 each. In fact, as high as

Paris, Sewer C1eaninr system.

1t is scarcely probable that any other
city in the world will have, at least for a
long period, a system of sewer cleaning
as efficient as that of Paris. The sewers
are all constructed with that end in view,
workmen can carry on their labors with
out stopping, and the bottom is so shaped
as to facilitate the work by the different
forms of water gates. In London second
sewer or gallery is sometimes constructed
above the main conduit by which par
tial cleaning is effected. There is not the
slightest doubt that all cities will have
eventually to build their great intersect-
ing sewers, at least, in such manner
that workIuen can pass through them and
clean them. No amount of flushing will
ever sufice.--Pari= Cor. San Francisco
