DisposaI of Sewage.

The disposal Of sewage is a question
which has been agitated in various coun-
tries for many years. Engineering says
that nowhere on the Continent has it been
dealt with in more systematic manner
than in Germany. In Berlin the drains
from the houses receive both the rain wa
ter, the dirty water from the kitchen, ETC.,
and the contents of ( e water closets, con-
Quoting them to a system of radisl sewers,
through which they, by natural fall, pro-
ceed to dozen various pumping stations
within the area of the town. From these
the sewage, through the medium Of COM
bined force and suction pumps, passes
through pipes of three feet or still greater
diameter to the land which the corpora
tion of Berlin possesses, and where the
sewage is used as fertilizer. The sewage
makes its final exit through system Of
conduits so arranged that before reaching
them it has parted with all its manurial
power to the soil through which it is made
to pass The sewage water thus filtered
reaches the river through the natural fail
of the conduits il q comparatively purified
state The sewage is an exceptionally good
manure
Frankfort -on-the-Main is another Ger
man town where the sewage system Is very
perfect, but owing to the excessive cost of
land in that locality the sewage is not, az
in Berlin, used ~ manure in the first in
stance. The sewage is purified before be-
ing allowed to escape into the Main, and
the residue is pumped into receptacles from
where the farmers fetch it.

RECENT IMPoRyAT1oNs IN MILLINERY.

Bonnets are often entirely formed Of
beads or Of plain felt trimmed with velvet
and osprey, or of open jet applique on to
the metal. Fluted shapes, the flutes start
ing from the crown toward the brim, are
new and promise to be much worn. Some
bonnets are formed entirely of a Jet bird,
with outstretched wings, having velvet
edge, or sometimes chenille edge, which
is newer. Chenille is used in all colors.
One of the features in millinery is the
varied treatment of feathers. Tiny birds
and wings are bedeZined with gold, silver
and steel tinsels, and many other metallic
tints. Gold and green metallic feathers
form an important part in millinery, and
feathers of various kinds are covered with
spangles of gold, lined with red, copper or
green; the shades in which these tiny
spangles are made are often novel and
original. In the cut are shown sketches of
recent importations. The hat with the
widespreading brim, slightly curved on
the left side, is black felt trimmed with
black ostrich plumes and a ribbon bow,
with a jet dagger thrust through the CEN
ter. 1t would suit any young lady with an
artistic face The other hat is gray felt,
trimmed with black velvet and three black
birds. 1t is useful hat, suitable for wear
ing with any kind of dress. A jet swan Is
the chief ornament of the bonnet. It rests
on band of pink velvet and there are tiny
black tips and an aigrette at the back.
The strings of bonnets are seldom worn
tied in bow. They are simply crossed
under the chin and fastened at the side
with jeWeled pins

of the skeleton discovered at Lima in 1795
which may be the one now at Berlin
the animal is chiefly known by plaster
models made from study of detached
bones. Such model adorns the new
natural history building at Kensington,
London.
The pelvis, thighs and upper bones OF the
tail are cast, with some other parts, from
remains found by Sir Woodbine Parish in
the bed OF a stream near Buenos Ayres,
after succession of three unusually dry
seasons. They indicate a skeleton still
larger than that described by Cuvier.
The megatherium, the first # the extinct
ground sloths to be brought back into the
life of the present, is still regarded as the
most interesting and wonderful of the
family, although remains of at least seven
other gigantic forms have been discovered
and described. The first of these to at
tract wide attention was the almost COM
plete skeleton of an animal somewhat
smaller than the megatherium, being
only seven feet from the point of the muz-
zle to the end of the tail This was found
by Sir Woodbine Parish near Buenos
Ayres In 1s41, and presented to the Royal
College Of Surgeons, in London, where it
may still be seen as it was first set up. To
this creature was given the name myIodon,
or the mill toothed animal, robustus being
added to indicate the formidable strength
of its framework As with the remains of
megatherium, says the authority quoted,
so it is with those of mylodon; detached
bones of more than one species are found
in North and South America, but a COM
plete skeleton seldom comes to light. In
deed, besides that of the Royal College of
Surgeons, there is as yet but one other,
and that has been set up recently in the
new Natural History building at South
Kensinpton

An Austrian inventor has produced a
substance which he claims To be a good
substitute for glass. 1t is produced ~ dis
solving from four to eight parts of colo
dion wool in about one hundred parts, by
weight, OF ether or alcohol or acetic ether,
and with this are intimately combined
from 2 to per cent. of castor oil, or
other nonresinOus oil, and 4 TO 10 per
cent. of resin or Canada bAlssm or other

glass plate and subjected TO the drying nc
tion Of current of air Of about 50 degs.

be regulated as required. The sheet or
plate so obtained mas substantially the
same properties as glass, as It will resist

THE CHINESE UPRISING.

PEKIN, Nov. 30-The government is
fully aware of the serious condition which
confronts it, aud every possible step Is
being taken to break the strength OF the
rebels before they get within striking
distance OF the capital Should the rebel
forces continue TO advance toward the
capital in spite of the efforts of the i'm
perial troops to prevent them, it is feared
by foreigners that the whole country will
rise and aid the invaders The garrison
of Shankaikivan has been sent to suppress
other insurrectionary bodies, which are
marching in various directions throughout
the country, evidently with the intention
of Joining the main body. A most serious
condition of affairs exist at Takoh. This
is the place where the most brutal out
RACES were committed upon Christian
priests and native converts. What action
the government will take in this matter Is
hard to say. That the authorities are in
sympathy with the perpetrators of these
most horrible crimes there is no reason to
doubt
The first advices from Takou stated that
after these fends had worked their bloody
vii! on all Christian men, women and
children who fell into their hands. they
were feasted by the leading Chinese man
DARN in the die etrict. II is now said that
the local mandarins agreed to allow the
rebels free license for the outrage of
Christians, provided they did no harm to
other inhabitants. These terms were ac-
cepted by the rebels, and they pursued
their work without hindrance Three
hundred European and native Christians
were massacred It is believed that lot a
Christian in the district escaped. Con-
sternation prevails among the Protestant
missionaries in the districts through
which it is expected the rebels will pass
The local officials at Sunha have declared
that they are powerless 30 protect the
missionaries and that if the missionaries
desire to save their lives they had better
seek safety in flight. The missionaries at
Sunha have therefore abandoned the sta
tions to find places of safe refuge.

sensational incident when DR.. 81. V.

cord the people arose from their chairs.
Has the grave yielded up its desd?"
was the query on every face. Dr.. Old
field looked startled himself. He turned
red, then white, and tostsred TO ths
desk. The gentlernanly attendant drew
back. At last one courageous man ap-
preached the desk and said, "Are you
not dead:' This brought out an ex-
PLANTATION.
Dr.. Oldfeld bought Dr.. F. D. Clarke's
