ported to the committee that they found the
pumps at the pumphouse in bad condition,
caused from neglect. They intimated that
there was a conflict of authority between
the water commissioners, the superintend-
ent and the chief engineer, and this aided
much the loose methods at the works
On the engineers report the council COM
mittee recommended that all parties at the
head of the various water departments be
discharged and new men put IN their
places. This would fire the commissioners,
the superintendent and the chief engineer
The report was referred to a special com
mittee to receive evidence from the parties
interested and recommend back to the
council what to do.

Do Trees Strain Out Bacteria?

The Sanitary Inspector describes some
Investigations made by Serafini and Arata
to determine the correctness of the belief
that the foliage of trees has some influence
in filtering out the bacterial contents of
the atmosphere Their method of procedure
was to determine the number of bacteria in
air under motion before and after it had
reached the woods. The barometrcal pres
sure, direction and strength of the wind,
temperature at the edge and in the midst
of the woods, humidity andrai mall were
all taken into consideration. As the num-
Der of observations was only forty, the in
vestigators give the results with some re-
serve; nevertheless, they believe that they
are justified in affirming that forests do
exercise the power of straining out the
bacteria that are brought to them by the
wind

tried Sphere Fears for Her Etiquette.
Many good soul gives herself great
uneasiness upon being called into a new
sphere of action, either through increase of
wealth or through the husbands election
to Office or because of promotion in any
way, or on occasion of visit among those
with whom much social usage has rubbed
away corners and angles and who know
just what to do and how to do it at every
point, and who, she fears, will either be
mortified by her ignorance OF the lesser de-
tails, or will scorn her ignorance. and her
self with it,
Harper's Bazaar, which thus describes a
common social difficulty, then gives the
following advice: There is an exceedingly
ready and short way out of every difficulty
of the sort, for if the EN- barrassed individ-
ual of whom we speak will take the trouble
to reflect upon the various dicta of the reg
ulations concerning which she feels herself
uniformed, and which have seemed TO her
only Il trap and pitfall for the unwary, she
will come to the conclusion that none will
ingly hamper themselves with useless or
capricious rules which would only involve
their own discomfort. and that it is there
fore to be supposed that every one of these
lesser details has sprung into being to an

peoples feelings, prejudices or exertions.

SEWER GAS IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
A Time When Fevers Arc Frequent and
One Probable Cause of Them.

A Time When Fevers Arc Frequent and
One Probable Cause of Them.
1t is a well known fact, to which an ex-
change calls attention, that many people,
after spending the summer away from
home, are on their return taken down with
fever. Some of the reasons for this are
known to us, but probably there are many
yet to be discovered. An unmistakable
cause is found in many city homes which
are shut up for months, during a portion
of which time they are filled with sewer
gas. Very few. indeed. have the traps I'M
der their sinks sealed up when they leave
home, nor are they filed during their alb
sence. OF course the water in them soon
evaporates, and there is no longer any OBJ
struction against the free passage through
them of gas from thessewer With this
pervading house there is certainly a bad
outlook for its returning tenants. In such
a condition it ought to undergo fumiga-
ton; if that remedy is not applied, then all
that is left is thorough airing of all the
rooms and everything therein, with cur
tains up to admit every possible ray Of
sunlight. And the longer the windows are
kept open the better. A house infected by
sewer gas is scarcely likely to be made
safe, even by thorough ventilation, unless
it is prolonged fordays and days.

A Steamsllip's Peril,

Among the tales Of ,perils by storms was
that OF the British steamship Tynedale,
Captain Love She was in the Gulf of
Lyons when gale came on very suddenly,
with a sea that rose more rapidly than the
wind. The waves were SO high and steep
that the ship had no chance to rise-they
buried her almost ont of sight at every
blow they struck her. In this emer
gency the cargo shifted and the steering
gear carried away. She drifted helplessis
for two days, when the wind and the sea
went down as rapidly IS they had come up.

Poison in MOldy Bread.

The mold of bread, according to for
eign journal, is a veritable poison for man
aa(ts6east, as witness the following in
= Stances: In 1865 three peasants-father,
mother and little girl of five years of age
ate. after having carefully cleaned, some
bread covered with green mold. They all
three became very i'll, and the little girl
died. In 1872 two pigs and horse were
poisoned by moldy bread. In 1873 eight
personswho ate pudding made with moldy
bread were poisoned, and two died. In
1881, in the Second Hussars at Oran, there
was some bread SO damaged that the SOL
diers threw it away. Some horses ate q
part and became seriously ill. one of them
being paralyzed. 1t is easy, however, to
avoid using this bread. Sight suflices, and
at need can be aided by smell and taste.

j. Vi. Wiley Returns from Washington.

His American patents on improvement in
rail-joint connection We're allowed August
26, ana bear date of October 49, 1891.
While in Washington Mr.. Wiley filed APP
plications for foreign patents, and will re-
ceive Canadian papers about February l.,
1892 While in the East Mr.. Wiley was
at all the principal steel works in that sec
ton. The Pennsylvania steel company of
Steelton, Pa. have taken hold of the fasten-
ing and will manufacture it and put 1t in
use throughout the Eastern states. Many
bids from steelmen have been received,
looking to its manufacture. The Cam brla
works of JohnStown, Pa, and the Edgar
Thompson steel company. whose works are
at Braddock, Pa, and the largest in the
world. were among the bidders for the in
veution. Mr.. Wiley placed the fastening
on several new roads building in the East,
the most important ,ope beng line
from Washington City to Chesapeake bay.
The road will make the fastest time Of any
in the world, running their trains at the
rate of ninety miles per hour. They are
having engines built especially to make the
run of thirty miles in twenty minutes. The
management, after careful examination of
Mr.. Wiley's invention, assisted by many
practical railroad officials of Eastern lines,
decided to adopt 1t on account
Of its being the most substan-
tial ever invented and the cost be-
ing less. to say nothing of the saving of nut
locks. which amounts TO over $50 mile.
The fastening does away with the use of
nut locks. Mr. Wiley declined ali offers
made for the purchase of the patent until
he could consult with his partner MIR. Car
lin. no owns i half interest. They have
decided to sell one-third interest TO the
right man. but he must be an energetic
business man and not afraid to get away
from home and rustic. In another column
will be found an advertisement Offering an
interest for sale. \ full-length joint can be
seen at 1910 Main street.
