| the Penal Code did not come out until
1910. 1t is the Code Civil to which the
term the Code Napoleon is generally
applied. 1t consists of three books,
treating of persons, goods and how
property is acquired. 1t is not possi
BILE to explain here more fully without
making a treatise on the subject. You
will find plenty of works in the State
| Library which will lay the whole his
tory of the Code Napoleon bare to you
Eds. Record Union: Can you tell
| me what is meant by reference in the
| newspapers to the Boys Street Clean
| ing Brigade in Boston,
SACRAMENTO BOY.
The boys of that city have such
| brigade and are encouraged in it by
| the city. Late accounts say that it is
very successful, very economical and
is having a good effect in several other
directions. The boys work after school
hours and before Also as they please
The boys are from 10 20 IA years of age;
| nothing escapes their eyes, and every
bit of paper, banana peel or other debris
is placed in the barrels which have been
purchased for that purpose.
| Eds. "Record-Union": If there are
any instances you know of where pub
lie water supplies have been success
| fully filtered, will you please name the
places in the Record Union" as it is
desired to correspond with such places
for a purpose? MECHANIC
| There are several in England and Eu-
rope, but we cannot give you many
addresses now. In most cases filtration
has not been successful, and it is
adopted only because of necessity-in-
ability to do better. However, there
have been some successful experiments
There are two great contending sys-
TENS of filtration, and between them
there has been war for years. In
1899 London tried filtration under
Simpson, the distinguished engineer.
Those filters are still used by one
water supply section of that city, Liv-
erpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Hamburg
Breslau, Madgeburg and st. Peters
burg have filtration systems, some of
which are, however, natural ones-that
is, the supply is subterranean,t the water
coming through natural filter beds, as
would be the case if Sacramento should
take her water supply from the deep
| driven wells east of the city, as she
ought to do. st. Louis sent Engineer
Kirkwood to Europe to investigate the
water in 1866, but st. Louis did not
| adopt filtration system as a result.
| Some other American cities tried it on
| the basis of that engineers report, but
with very Indifferent success. Law
renee, Mass, has sand filter system,
and several smaller places have fol-
lowed that example. Engineer Hazen
says in Municipal Paving and En-
cheering that there are now eight
cities having sand filtration for water
| supply publication. Poughkeepsie, n.
Y, is one of these and Hudson, N. Y,
another Louisville, Ky, is now ex-
| perimenting with filtration on the me-
chanical plan-that is, the use of chem
icals, mainly alum. This is the most
costly method.
