A big undertaking, thinks tho New
York Post, Is the proposition OF an anti
septic company Of Chicago to Clarity
by chemical means, the water OF the
Chicago River. At a point IN the river
where the water is about the foulest, the
company has constructed float with an
air-tight, cylindrical shaped house over
it. In this dir tight cylinder tho COM
mound is burned and the gases given OIL
in the combustion will, it is claimed,
destroy the animal matter held In solu-
ton and precipitate the residue, leaving
the water clear and free from bad smells.
The floor Of the float under the air-tight
house is cut out, so that the gases may
come in contact with the water. Several
BOTTLES of water taken from the river
pear the float and from different depths
we're very much clearer than the water
taken from other places in tho river
Thore was little difference, however, in
tho smell, and it was explained that II
would take some time to correct thai
trouble. The polluted water from thu
river was constantly flowing into the
slip and mingled with the partly purified
water so that, until a comprehensive
svstem is adopted, tho benefits vii
scarcely be appreciable. 1t is proposed
to put ten of the floats on the river ant
| keen them moving all the time SO as Il
cover the entire river.

the known world where perfume max

IN converting the flora Of the South into

The Salvation Army occasionally per
forms a service for which we can at
least excuse it for the eccentric, not TO
say ridiculously fantastic, manner it has
of conducting religious services. Mem
bers of that body have adopted the same
methods here that exist in London, and
while we do not hear of every case of
destitution and distress unearthed by
them, one occasionally comes 10 light
which is anything but creditablc TO
modern civilization. A case in point is
that of Mrs. Mary Kingston, % years
of age, who was found in Il bare attic
room on Cove street, dying of starva-
tion and neglect, a fair laSSie of the
Salvation Army, in her mission OF
mercy among the poor and needy, found
the woman haggard and cmaciatcd and
barely able to speak. The only clothing
she wore was 4 atattercd undcrshirt, badly
molh-eaten and filthy to the last degree.
An old table was the only article Of
furniture in the room. Under this the
woman was huddlcd up in the filth that
| abounded there. Her body was mass
of sores, the result of vcrmin with
which the place was alive. There was
not an article of food or drink in the
| place, nor had there been any for three
days. The locality where this
distressing case was discovered is the
worst in the city, and much of the mis-
cry which exists there can be traced dl-
rectly to the wise discrimination Of Tho
police commissioners in the distribution
of licenses for the sale of liquor. 1t l.
