The Advantages Of City Cleanliness,
Scientific 4 mericdn.

| Scientific american.
There is perhaps no other city upon
our Atlantic and Gulf coast where the
Immediate effec: of cleanliness in stop
ping yellow fever has been better illus
trated than IN New Orleans. Built
upon a plane below the high water
mark on the banks of the Misslppi
River, the soil is necessarily saturated
and no attention having been given to
sanitary measures, it soon became one
of the filthiest and slckliest cities in the
land. In consequence it has been Wis
tied by yellow fever SO times in the last
seventy-seven years, with a loss OF life
fully third of that sustained by the
United States during the same period
Here quarantine was tried and given
up in disgust, and again tried, all to no
purpose. Every effort to save the city
from the pestilence failed. During the
early part of the civil war, and while
in the hands OF the enemy, it was clean
ed as thoroughly as possible under
military rule and while other cities on
the coast had the yellow fever, New
Orleans escaped, notwithstanding the
fact that cases originated in the river
opposite the city on board ship The
disease did not 1eappear until 1867
the city having again been permitted
to relapse into its former filthy condl-
ton, and the yellow fever to its former
habits. Immediately after the terrible
epidemic of 1878 citizens sanitary
association was organized which fur
nished the money to remove the accu-
mulated filth. The scavenger system
was remodled, steam pumps were used
to empty the drains into the lake.
Burlals within the city were forbidden,
and to this day the Southern metropolis
has had no yellow fever epidemic,
although sparodic cases have occurred
on several occasions since.
Now, if New Orleans, in her unhealthy
situation and with so many difficulties
in the way to secure either subsoi
drainage Or an efficient system of house
drainage, has been able to prevent
yellow fever epidemics by the Systematic
removal OF filth and surface water, there
is certainly no valid reason why any
city in the southern ATTITUDES should
be allowed to remain in the condition
necessary to create Or to propagate
yellow fever.

THE OLD TRUNDLE BED.

Oh, the old trundle bed where l slept
when boy
What canopied king might not covet
the JOY?
The glory and peace Of that slumber Of
mine,
divine:
The quaint, homely couch, hidden
close from the light,
But daintily drawn from it's hiding
place at night
Oh. a nest of delight from the foot to
the head.
Was the queer little, dear little, old
trundle bed
Oh, the old truddle bed, where / Won
dering saw
The stars through the window, and
listened with awe
To the sigh of the winds as they tremb-
lingly crept
Through the trees where the robins so
restlesslv slept;
Where ! heard the low murmurous
culIp Oh tilo wren,
And the katydid Gstle.sly chirrup
again,
Till my fancies grew faint and were
drowsily led
Through the maze of the dreams of
the old trundle bed
Oh, the old trundle bed Oh, the old
trundle bed
With its plump little pillow and old
fashioned spread
Its snowy white sheets, and the blan-
kets above.
down and tucked round with
the touches of love;
The voice of my mother to lull me to
sleep
With the old fairy stories my memo
ries keep
Still fresh as the lilies that bloom

Once bowed DER my own in the old
trundle bed

A SPACE Filled With Silence.
ern gates
Near York Ledger.

Near York Ledger.
Areas OF silence are among the unex-
planned phenomena of nature. There
are spaces in the vicinity of fog-signals
where there is no sound Of warning
heard, although there is constantly
sounded the note OF danger. Accidents
have happened to vessels in this way
that are accounted for only by the
theory that there is an area over which
sound passes without producing any
effect. In one case steamer ran
aground about one and half miles
from fog-signal that was in full play.
Notwithstanding the short distance, no
sound was heard, while at points five
or six miles away the signals were dis
tinctly audible Another steamer ran
aground only an eighth of mile from
a signal that was sounding loudly.
Experiments have been made for the
purpose of locating these silent points,
and their whereabouts has been accu-
rately determined. One theory of the
cause Of this silent area is. that the
sound, coming in contact with some
current OF air or electric strata, is
thrown upward out of level course, and
proceeds over the heads Of the sailors.

Next year will be the last leap year of
the century, and another will not occur
until 1904. The year 1900 will not be
leap year. The unusual occurrence is due
to the fact that the addition of one day
to each fourth year more than makes up
the presumed deficiency in tho calendar
year, and consequently the world is con-
stantly losing time, as a watch loses it,
and therefore there was danger that in
the course of a few thousand years the
Fourth OF July would come OH Christ.
