more trouble than al Of the other
features Of house building and man
agement put together; even the neal
neighborhood Of a running stream
into which the sewage may be dis.
charged does not afford relief. Those
who dwell lower down on the stream
are likely to make complaint Of the
combinations, and they may ask re-
lief from the law. At the present
time the main reliance is upon cess
pools, but they are always filthy con-
triyances. aud serve as q constant
menace to health.
At recent meeting in New York,
Colonel George +. Waring and
Alexander Potter, both eminent
sanitary engineers, delivered brief
addresses on Country House Sew
age" and the former gentleman
has written an article describing and
fully illustrating a system for the dis.
posal of liquid wastes for isolated
houses in a recent issue of 'Shoppell's
Modern Houses" published in New
York. Both Of these gentlemen are
thoroughly opposed to the cesspool
system, and advocate the daily deliv-
cry OF sewage onto the surface OF the
ground. At the first glance this seems
most repugnant to the uninitiated
who conceive of sewage as the contents
of the eesspool after it has purified.
But fresh sewage that is delivered
upon the surface is absolutely inodorus
and inofensive. According to the
Massachusetts standard it consists OF
99S parts Of water, one part OF mineral
matter and only one part in thou
sand OF organic matter. 1t furnishes
no mennnce to health when delivered
on the surface, but merely enriches
the ground and makes it more produc-
tive. It is not Intended that it should
be a constant flow over the same sec
ton ofground, for in that case the soil
would soon become saturated and
offensive. Two sections of land are
made available, and the flow il
daily diverted from one to the
other, thus giving the soil q chance
to recuperate.
There are certain notifications oil
the system that make it more widely
applicable. 1t may be that in coun-
try estate there is no available section
of land that can be used f.t sewage
drainage without becoming too con
spieuous. In that case the drainage
may be through porous agricultural
tile drains laid a few inches below the

impossible or unadvisable for any
reason to discharge the sewage as soon
as it is produced, aretaining tank may
be constructed. But in any case it
should be discharged within twenty
four hours before there is any chance
of putrifcation.

A Drive on South American Pampas.

A four.in-hand waited for US at the
door, to drive rs to the camps, where
saddle horses would be given us, if we
desired them. The vehicle was one of
those in which the front wheels turned
ro1nd under the front of the body,
and the interior of the body was seated
and covered with home. dressed horse
hide. The whip was horse hide, and
the pace was a run, trotting being un-
known.
1t was q pace for experience. Rising
in his seat the driver made his whip
whistle through the air, like q reed
pipe sounding, and then he brought
1t down on the TANKS of his team. The
animals gave q leap which assuredly
tried every joint in the hide and chain
harness. / wondered why the nags
did not start at the whistle of the
whip like the South African steeds do,
thus escaping quite good deal of the
blow. Away we sped, faster and ever
faster, across the pampas. The peon
driver displayed great skill in keeping
the four horses together, there being
no pole to the wheelers, and each
horse being geared and run indie
pendent, like the Huskies to q dog
sleigh in Northern Canada. Nor was
less skill needed to avoid the cattle
wallows, which could only be distin'
guished by the color of the grass.
In something less than sixteen
minutes the team was pulled up, the
harness dragged of, the horses allowed
to stray, or do as they please. On my
asking it they would stray too far, our
host said: "Oh, no. They can

The Tadpole In Science.

At the close of the last century
Galvani astonished the world with
the experiments he performed on
frogs. There is no doubt but. what
his work, as far as the developmentof
engineering was concerned, almost
retarded the progress, at least for
very short time, but he has opened
a field which to future generations
may be of as much, possibly of more,
Importance than all the practical ap-
plications of electricity today We
refer to the physiological effects Of
the electric currents.
Now, as we approach the end of
another century, another experiment
on tadpoles has been mado, which
in our minds eye may have tremen-
dous consequence. DR.. Waller has
observed that tadpoles face the posi-
tive pole when an electric current il
sent through the trough in which
they live. This is certainly re-.
markable fact, and we hope sincere
ly that this matter may not be taken
up rs matter of ridioule or of play,
for there may be hidden in this
simple experimental fact vast deal
of knowledge; not that we want to
prophesy, but on the face of it IL
does not seem impossible that this
simple fact should be the commence
ment of knowledge of electro phys.
iology, which in 100 years from
now might in perfection be second
to mono of our descriptive sciences.

Mr.. John Ogilvy of Dundee, says the
London Times, recently directed the atten-
ton of Price Bismarck to the following
extract from article in a Scottish daily
newspaper:
The world is pretty well used to Prince
Bismarck's frank brutalities, and the opin-
ion he has just expressed regarding Crete
Is only important as illustrating an odius
condition of mind with which British di
plomacy has to contend. He is reported to
have said: I can assure you / take less
interest in Crete than in tho smallest
mound of earth in my garden 4"
The following reply has been received by
Mr.. Ogilvy:
''Friedrichsruh, July 81, 1S96.-Dear Sir:
1 must thank you for your kind letter,
which have received; and, also, for the
good opinion you have of me. To my apol-
ogy toward the Cretans must ask you to
have regard to the letter from the Apostle
Paul to Titus, chapter H. verses Il and l3:
one of themselves, even a prophet OF
their own, said, The Cretans are always
liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This wit
ness is true. Wherefore rebuke them
sharply, that ehey may be sound in the
faith. ". Bismarck
