IsERLIN.s NEW SEWAGE SYSTEM.



The City Runs Seven Large Sewage Farms
at q Profit.
Berlin has dealt successfully with the
drainage question. Until about q
quarter of a century ago the disposal of
sewage was effected in primitive fash
ion; open drain courses, badly built and
with inadequate fall, ran through
many of the streets, discharging finally
into the River Spree, for whose condi-
ton contamination would be far TOO
mild a word. A commission was APP
pointed, which, after visiting various
countries, especially England, with the
view of practically studying different
systems, reported in favor of sewage
irrigation on land at a distance from
tine city. The fiatness of the plain on
which Berlin IS built would not allow
of any gravitation scheme, and conse-
quently it was found necessary to
adopt steam pumping. For the. same
reason the sewage could not all be col
lected at one spot, and it was therefore
decided to divide the city into IL drain
age areas. The ground at the seven
sewage farms was we'll suited for the
purpose, consisting only of sandy
wastes, then growing only stunted frs
and birches, but now converted into
fertile fields. The total area of the
land which could be devoted to sew
age irrigation is % 500 acres; only about
1000 acres are at present needed. The
following extract is from DIR. Legge's
account of these Berlin farms: NO
deleterious effect has been noticed on
the health of those living on the sew
age farms, and, indeed, at some of
them, as at Blanken burg and Malchow,
The city has built various hospitals for
convalescents, for consumptives, and
for women recovering after child-bed,
and the patients seem to thrive in them
as well as they would anywhere else"
The question whether the germs of
typhoid fever and cholera pass through
the soil into the drainage water has nat
urally formed a subject of inquiry,
but many meteorological examinations
conducted specially with the view of
clearing up this point, have answered
the question in the negative. Until
1892 the laborers working the sew
age farms were remarkably free from
typhoid fever, although in 1889 Ber-
lin itself was visited by a severe cpl
| 6emic; in 1892 a few cases occurred
alleged to have drunk largely of the
effiuent from the farm. but In these
| Instances other possible sources of in
lection could not be excluded. It is
| satisfactory to note that, notwithstand-
/ ing the enormous cost of working
these Berlin sewage farms, the eX-
penses have, in most years, been COW
cred by the sale of the produce, and in
one year GSs9) the surplus amounted

THE HONG KONG PLAGUE.

to Save Them.
European physicians who have had
experience in China during epidemics
have been obliged to combat many stub
born prejudices of the natives. In 1894
the plague attacked Hongkong about
the middle of May. From so to 100
deaths occurred daily. From the first
the Chinese strongly objected to the
removal of their sick to European hos
pitfalls. They did not understand the
necessity of segregation. They pre-
ferred to die in their unclean surround
ings among friends than to accept the
chance of a lonely recovery at hos
pital.
The devices to which the Chinese re-
sorted to conceal the sick from search
ing parties were many and ingenious
4 system of house-to-house visitation
had to be organized to overcome the
dangerous secretiveness of the Chinese.
The efforts of the cleansing and dis
injecting staff were rendered almost
futile by the dislike of the natives to
sanitary precautions. The epidemic
caused 1850 deaths before it ceased in
early September.
The necessity of burying the dead in
common graves was a great shock to
the feelings of the natives, and finally
led to open rebellion. Concessions had
to be made to the ignorant and des-
perate celestials, and the presence OF
Chinese medical attendants in the Eu-
ropean hospital was permitted. Chi
nese to the number of 1OO, 900 left Hong
kong while the plague was raging.
Their demand that their plague-strick-
en- relatives be allowed to accompany
them was, of course, not granted. OF
the Chinese patients who were attacked
by the epidemic only IS per cent re-
covered, while 50 per cent of the Eu-
roPeans afflicted were restored to
healthy. Y. World
