Publication of Sewage.

The Engineering Record quotes the
reported results Of Investigations
made by officers of the HYGIENE In
stitute of Munich upon the growth of
certain plants in the River Isar as
indicative of the process Of self-puri-
tication in that stream in its down
ward flow after receiving the sewage
of Munich. Prof. Won Pettcnkofer,
the chief of the bureau, believes that
in running streams moderate guam
tity Of human eXCreta is deCOmposed
and rendered harmless in the course
of few miles of flow. He supposes
this does not depend on mere dilution
or subSidenCe but on the velocity of
the stream and particularly on the
presence of free oxygen in the water,
this being connected with the action
of green algH and other water plants.
Observation shows that a peculiar
form of vegetable life, sometimes
called the sewage fungus, grows lux
uriantly about mile below the point
where the sewage enters the Isar,
aboundS seven miles lower down, and
disappears farther off. The inference
is that after about twelve miles of
flow the turbulent stream is so far
purified from heterogeneous organic
matter that it no longer contains
enough of it to support the growth of
the sewage fungus Also it has been
found that at the mouth of the sewer
the cubic centimeter of fluid con-
tanned 1913, 600 bacteria, while twenty
miles lower the number had dimin-
ished to 1902, and a mere trace a
few miles farther. But the puriflca-
tion here referred to applies only to
residential sewage, that is, to water
fouled with human eXcreta, and not
to that fouled with industrial waste
products of various kinds of manu-
facture, many of which are directly
poisonous to both animal and veget-
able life in water. 1t is objected by
another writer that probably the pu-
rifcation produced by algG is insight
ticant compared with that due to
aerobic bacteria, entomostracea, and
other forms of animal and plant life.
He holds that the Importance of the
presence of oxygen is undOubted, but
that its influence on the organic mat
ter is exerted by favoring the growth
] of those organisms which require its

A small hoop placed between the
slaves near the floor will make them
more firm, and coat Of paint or var
nish will complete quite presentable
little table.
A kind of round cabinet table can
also be made by saving out zigzag
panels in the sides above the lower
hoops and inserting round shelf in
side at this level Put round cover
on the top and paint it white, first
filling the cracks and imperfections
with putty and rubbing down with
sandpaper
The cabinet of shelves is built of
well-selected barrel heads, whose
parts are held together by a broad
Cleat nailed on the under side of each
head. These are supported by four
upright pieces, with grooves sawed in
the edges at different levels, Brack-
cts strengthen the frame and secure
the shelves properly. The edge is
finished with fringe or some other
ornamental decoration about three
inches deep
A useful stand a@be made of
barrel sawed in half lengthwise and
resting upon framework of plain
boards with a shelf below. This may
be filled with earth for winter win
dow garden or may have a cover
hinged on for a table and be draped
with a cloth to hide the barrel shape,
which affords a spacious receptacle.
Still another may consist of two
ends of a barrel with the heads in
each part being sawed off just at the
second hoop. Through four holes in
the lower one run the supports of the
frame and let the top part rest upon
their ends. Some small brackets
under each barrel head will strength
en- the whole. Covered and decorated
with cloth and plush and with cush-
toned sides and pockets, this makes a
very convenient work table, or, deco
rated in rustic fashion, a very pretty
plant stand.

They might as well have said that
their patients died because they were

phrase as truly represents the cause
of death in many cases as does heart

through stoppage Of the hearts action
or stopping Of breathing. One may
take brief precedence over the other,
but neither shortness of breath nor
heart failure can supply a satisfactory
statement Of the cause of death for
