Through the center of this tank there is
a screen in an oblique position. through
the meshes of which substances more
than half an inch in diameter cannot
pass and get into the piping in the farm.
The sewage waters pass through this
screen and thence into the distributing
pipes, fressure of not more than
ten poupls being allowed upon those
pipes. See drawing OF the screening
tank and pressure regulating valve at
the farm end OF the iron main from the
pumping works.
THE SEWAGE FARM AND ITS PIPING.
One hundred and forty acres of land
have been thoroughly piped and under
drained for the reception and puritica-
ton of sewage with which these acres
are irrigated. Hydrants are placed at
suitable intervals so that the distribn-
ton can be conveniently effected. All
organic matter i'm the sewage is taken up
by the soil and the growing vegetation,
and the water, making from 20O TO 600
parts of the sewage, rams off through
underdrains to bitches which carry these
filtered waters into Lake Calumet.
Where the sewage water, purified by fill
tering through the soil, leaves the drains,
il is as clear and sparkling as spring
water, and purer than the water from
the surface wells used by people on
neighboring farms. In winter the sew
age runs upon one field or upon one
filter bed and then upon another, the
filtering processes appearing as perfect
as in summer. Thus are waste products
utilized, being largely transmitted by
vital chemistry into luXuriant vegeta BILE
forms. The most profitable crops for
this farm have been found TO be onions,
cabbage and celery. In Europe the
question is, at how little expense can
such a farm be operated the primary
object being the necessary disposal OF
sewage, and the proceeds from crops
raised merely diminishing operating ex
penses. \ European sewage farm oper
ated at profit is the exception and not
the rule.

10 effort can avert enormous loss Of life
and property.
Word comes from the lower part of
Allegheny that house has been swept
away and all its occupants drowned but
no names or particulars can be obtained
at present. All the large stores on Penn
sylvania avenue, short way from the
Allegheny River are flooded, and tho
work OF removing property is very dam
gerous and slow. All of the railroads
are seriously disabled by landslides and
washouts, and all trains which have not
been abandoned are very late At Jean
nette many persons have abandoned their
homes To the food, and have sought per-
sonal safety on the higher ground.
Many bridges and houses have gone
down already, aud the water Is rising
at that point very rapidly. All rail-
road traffic has been suspended ut
Washington. Pa, since the bridges
are not considered safe, and at Temper
anceyile, suburb of this city, tho
Charter Creek covers half the town and

and since all the trains are tied up they

At Pittsburg, the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers continue TO rise and
have reached the highest stage since the
flood OF 1884, the marks in both rivers
registering 81 feet. The river men and
those in possession of reliable informa-
ton from up-river points expect the
waters TO reach the thirty-foot mark. In
this event all OF the First Ward OF
Allegheny and a large part OF that
city Known as Manchester will

cities owning property in places liable to
be affected by the flood is preparing for
the worst Already many of the mills,
glasshouses and factories along both
river banks have closed down, while
scores OF residences between Sharpsburg
and lower Allegheny City are surrounded
by water, ia some instances reaching TO
the second floors. Traffic on the Pitts

tirely suspended between Sharpsburg
and the depot at Union Bridge. Water

THE GROWTH OF A TOWN.
Here, for the first time in the building
of cities, the drainage and sewerage
preceded the population. The ordinary
small city is a haphazard collection OF
buildings, whose inartistic forms and re-
lations would, as likely as not, be i'm
proved by an earthquake. The inhab-
itants of such places, at the outset. have

1000, 900 gallons.
There are no saloons, gambling
houses, or other debasing and hurtful
agencies here to allure men, but the
beautiful library, theater, Arcade, play
grounds, lake, and park-lilse avenues
offer many attractions. The society Is
excellent, and the Pullman Military
Band is considered the best i'm the State.
There are now about forty secret So
cieties, clubs. and organizations for
social purposes. as well as eight church
societies in Pullman. With these i'm
proved surroundings men are able not
only TO do more and better work, rs is

The great value of the work done here
is principally suggestive, and is studied
by travellers and scientific men of every
continent
AT the outset IL was decided that 10
would never do to permit sewage TO flow
into Lake Calumet, as IL would make
cesspool OF that body of water, and TO
obviate such a result, the mode OF dis
posing OF the Pullman sewage here out

The new industry of camphor pro-
duction gives promise of being per-
manently established in Florida It is
believed that in ten years time there
will bemore camphor trees than orange
trees in Florida. and that the camphor
industry will be more profitable than
that Of sugar. It is stated that the
camphor obtained from the Florids
trees approaches more nearly to that
of Japan than to Chinese camphor,
since the odor of safro is distinctly
recognizable.

Concerning the rising flood, a Johns

began TO overflow its banks and soon
the water came pouring steadily into the
streets and flooded the business district
Of Johnstown. Both the Allegheny and
Monongahela Rivers are rising rapidly
and feeding the flood. Thieves took adj
vantage OF the excitement and began
pluudering right and left. BY orders Of
the Mayor armed men were detailed In
all parts Of the city To remove property
To places OF safety and to show no mercy
to anybody who was seen TO steal any
thing. A mounted patrol was established
and worked in connection with the gangs
of volunteers in the rousing of sleepers
and the moving of property The rail-.

laid in every other street running east
and west, and lying between the streets
having brick mains for atmospheric
water; these sewers are made with vitri-
fed pipe, laid deep enough TO run under
all surface drains which, as laterals, lead
into main sewers running north and
south to reservoir under the Water
Tower, which they enter at sixteen feet
below the surface of the ground These
sewer pipes vary from six to eighteen
inches in diameter The lateral pipe for
carrying the sewage of block OF dwell
lings runs In the alley and is only six
inches in diameter, and has fall OF from
four TO five inches in hundred feet.
The smalness OF these laterals insures
a scour which keeps them clean. but pro-
vision has been made for flushing the
pipes should they require IL. Service
pipes from houses and lots. provided
with suitable catch-baSins i'm the rear Of
dwellings, each basin connected with
from four to six houses, convey the
sewage from sinks and closets TO these
alley laterals.
THE RESERVOIR
The sewage goes by gravity from
buildings TO the reservoir under the
Water Tower. This reservoir is 60 feet
i'm diameter and Is feet deep, and holds
over 100000 gallons. The sewage is
pumped from IL as fast as received, and
before sufficient time elapses for fer
mentatlon To take place. Standing over
the reservoir the visitor never detects
anything unpleasant, the AIR being just
as pure as 1t Is in the Corliss engine
room, the only odor being that from the
oil used about the pumps.

The sewage from dwellings averages
probably from 800 to 100 gallons day
FOR each person OF the population. OF

WASHINGTON. March 10.-The de.
partment OF state has received from
the United States minister at Bogota
an interesting statement concerning
the railways Of Columbia in which he
says: This country is among the
most mountainous of the world. As q
result all communication is, and al.
ways has been. most difficult and ex.
pensive. Nearly all freight must be
transported by mules as soon as it
leaves the great rivers. The people
here realize their difficulties caused by
the tedious methods now employed and
with commendable spirit of progress
have made numerous contracts with
various foreign companies for the con.
struction OF roads. For one reason or
another the contracts have not been
productive of great results. So that
today, there are only nine railroads in
the country aggregating in length 290
kilometres, and two of these, covering
about forty-two kilometres, were built
by native companies. Columbia, he
says, has no system of railroads but
only isolated short lines. The need of
more and better constructed and bet.
ter managed roads is keenly felt. This
situation has induced the last congress
to grant several concessions to foreign
companies for the construction of new
roads.

Reaching for the High Notes.

II nature has endowed singer with
the power of producing high notes they
will be sung spontaneously. Other
wise they will neither be agreeable in
quality or tone. All singers are not
alike. Their voices are pitched in
different registers. Some are pitched
high. others low, and great many
medium. II a singer, not naturally
endowed with high register, at
tempts to sing beyond his or her ca
pacity by forcing the voice he or shs
is in danger of injuring the voice.
ANY one possessed of good voice NAV
by study and culture produce higher
notes than they otherwise could hope
to do. but no professor of music, no
matter how eminent ever created a
voice where it did not previously exist.
Great singers are born, not made.
Many singers have temporarily strained
their voices by trying to do too much.
II the voice is naturally high no mat
ter what the pitch may be the singing
will be pleasant and Agreeable to the
ear. II. however, singer tries to do
too much the effect will be similar to a

make one. 1t will prove ruinous. Do
