Electrical sterilization.

Electric sterilization of water has
been successfully practiced in Germany.
The water taken from the Bruges canal
at Schoorebrugge is first filtered in the
usual manner, through beds of different
kinds of sand, and is finally pumped
through sterilizers, being there subject
ed to the influence of an electric current
at a pressure of 1000 volts. It is stated
that by this means all traces q of mi
crobes are entirely destroyed. and the
pure water is distributed to the in
habitants of Blankenberg by means of
the system previously in use. About
$4,000 cubic feet are treated per day in
summer, this volume falling to aboat
10000 cubic feet per day in winter. The

PHYSICAL STRENGTH.
In Man 1t Reaches Its Greatest DeVei-
Opment Between the SOth and
.3Iat Years.

The muscles, in common with all the
organs of the body, have their stages OF
development and decline. says the
Strand Magazine. Our physical
strength increases up to a certain age
and then decreases. Tests of the
strength of several thousands of people
have been made by means OF a dyna-
mometer strength measurer), and the
following are given as the average fig
ures for the white race:
The lifting power" of a youth Of II
years is 2SO pounds. In his twentieth
year this increases to 800 pounds, and in
the thirtieth and thirty-first years 1t
reaches its height, $50 pounds. At the
end of the thiry-first year the
strength begins to decline, very slowly
at first.
BY the fortieth year 1t has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at a slightly increased rate until
the fiftieth year is reached, when the
figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly, until the weak
ness of old age is reached. 1t is not pos
sibIe to give accurate statistics of the
decline of strength after the fiftieth
year, as it varies to a large extent in
different individuals.

Against the worn cliffs moan and toss.

And flowers their hues and perfume blend,
To charm each sense at Santa Cruz

Have passed since first that name was

Midst ringing bells, while savage ears
Listened as prayers arose to Heaven
From those, who-counting gain nor loss
Raised on thy heights the sacred Cross.
