The most wonderful stories are told
Of the disinfecting power Of sea water
after electrical treatment, as exhioit-
ed al Hsrre. where experiments upon
a very large scale have been made
rnser the direction Of NJ Hermite, the
inventor Of the system The following
Is an extract from the special eorre-
snoudence of the London Standard;
"a central station for the proper
electrolvzing of sea water had been es-
+ablished at Havre, on Qui Lombardle,
near the Angouleme bridge, and pipes
in connection with IL had been laid
through all the streets of the St Fran
cois quartcr. inhabited by some twelve
thousand people OF the poorest classes
and formerly the hot-bed of every IN
fectious disease. The electrOlyzed sea
water forced through the pipes had,
however. effected marvellous change
The streets ~atered with the disinfect-
ing LIQUID. by means Of hose connected
with the pipes. had lost that putrid
odor which formerly made them not
only repugnant. but an ever-present
danger IN the very center OF the town
In addition TO this. two of the most
insalubrious houses in the district had
been chosen by NJ. David, the town
architect, for the application Of the
Hermite system to dwellings. One OF
them was situated at No. "a Rue de la
Fontaine. and the other at 80 Rue
dEdreville. a large tank, connected
with the electrolyzed sea-water mains,
had been placed at the top OF each OF
these six-st0ry buildings, and pipes
from the tank carried down to flush
the closets and sinks on the various
floors. In the case Of the house No "a
Rue de Ia Fontaine, the now Odorless
water from the syphons Of the closets
and sinks was condusted through pipes
10 the street gutter, down which 1t ran
some distance before il ultimately fell
into the sewer. The object OF this ar
rangement vas 10 offer the public
constant. visible and olfactory proof
of the purifying qualities Of electro
lived sea water The disinfecting
liquid. 50 TO say, consumed the sewage
matter. as well as the microbes 1t con-
tanned, and in passing along the gut
ter and through the sewers it con
tributed to the disinfeetion of both of
them By the chlorine it still contained
With the Hermite system all the sew
age water could, without inconven-
ience, be allowed to flow into the sea,
or even into rivers, for it purifies in
stead OF communicating them"

Thousands of Tourists to Water
ing Places This Season.
rms is the season of the year when
people begin to plan for their summer
outing. The hard times for the past six
months will prevent many from taking an
extended vacation. There is a hest of
Mnneapolitans, however, that will spend
a few weeks al the delightful watering
places on the Atlantic coast. To this class
of people the popular 800" line has made
arrangements for train service that will
eclipse that of any other road in the coun-
try. 1t will run through sleepers to Boston.
via Montreal, and persons going to resorts
on the Maine coast will only have to make
one change, that at Montreal. The officials
of the road have very wisely considered the
financial situation, and will = 3ugurate
prices that will permit even the ordinary
toiler to take peep at mother ocean.
The grandeur and beauty of the countless
views along the line never tire the eve
The scenery around Sault Ste Marie is
superb and further along the line the
traveller is afforded a glimpse at the par
lament buildings in Ottawa. There is a
"lay-over' of nearly two hours in Mon
treal. This affords an excellent oppor-
tunity to take in the sights of this beauti-
full city. Those that continue to resorts in
Maine are taken through the White Noun
tains on the p. and o., which is a part of
the magnificent Maine Central railway sys-
tenn. The attractions not only the
mountain pictures, but the variety in
streams, cascades, waterfalls and pools,
whose environs are the dark plumage of
the stately hemlock, the glttering foliage
of the graceful birch, the dark hued manle
and ash, and whose banks bear fringes of
hoWering vines and loveliest floral tangles
in pretty contrast to the gemmed green
ness of the moss-covered rocks, and the
snowy whteness of the spray of wild
mountain torrents where sport the pretty
spotted trout.
The 800 will also make exceedingly
cheap rate for Mackinac Island This is a
favorite resort for st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis people.
