Rerlfn's Sewage Problem Solved.

IterI1n's SeWnEe Problem Solved.
From the London Health News
Berlin has dealt successfully with the
drainage question. Until about quarter of
a century ago the disposal of sewage was
effected in primitive fashion: open drain
courses, badly built, and with inadequate
fall, ran through many of the streets, dis
charging finally into the river Spree for
whose condition contamination would be
far too mild word. A commission was
appointed which, after visiting various
countries. especially England. with the
view of practically studying different sys-
tens, reported in favor of sewage irriga-
ton on land at distance from the city
The flatness Of the plain on which Berlin
is built would not allow Of any gravitation
scheme, and, consequently. 1t was found
necessary to adopt steam pumping. For the
same reason the sewage could not all be
collected at one spot, and it was, therefore,
decided to divide the city into twelve drain
age areas. The ground at the seven sew
age farms was we'll suited for the purpose
consisting only of sandy wastes. then grow
ing 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 22.5o0 acres; only about
11.O0 acres are at present needed. The
following extract is from DR.. Legge's ac-
count of these Berlin farms: mo deleterious
effect has been noticed on the health of
those living on the sewage farms, and in
deed, at some of them, as at Blankenbury
and Malchow, the city has built various
hospitals for convalescents, for consump-
tives. 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 ty-
phoid fever and cholera pass through the
soil into the drainage water has naturally
formed a subject of inquiry, but many
bacterologfcal examinations conducted
specially with the view of clearing up this
point, have answered the question in the
negative Until 1892 the laborers working
on the sewage farms We're remarkably free
from typhoid fever, although in 1889 Berlin
itself was visited by a severe epidemic; in
1892 a few cases occurred among some farm
workers, who were alleged to have drunk
largely of the eftiuent from the farm, but
in these instances other possible sources of
infection could not be excluded. 1t is salts
factory to note that Notwithstanding the
necessarily enormous cost Of working these
Berlin sewage FARMS the expenses have, in
most years. been covered by the sale of the
produce and in one year QSS9) the surplus
an ounted to ELI, oil.
