bitterest opposition. The entire sewage of the
metropolis has hitherto gone into the Seine
From July onward none Of II will be disposed
OF in this most undesirable way; II will all pour
into one huge central drain and be carried off
to two immense suburban sewage farms, sit
uated respectively at Merry and Trial. A large
portion of the Merry farm is already in working
order, and officially visited day two
ago by the Municipal Delegates. Merry is high
lying sandy plain known to the local inhabitants
the Sahara OF Paris. With the help Of the
sewage it is TO be converted into pasture land
and 1t Is hoped that when thus changed this
desert will aid in the solution Of the problem of
supplying the capital with pure milk. A few
years ago such expectations would have been
scoffed at but the results obtained with the
sewage farm already in existence at Gennevil-
liers have converted the most hardened sceptic
In fact, the inhabitants Of Gennevilliers, whose
erected a statue to Durand-Claye, who caused
the new system to be applied and whose life
was threatened by his feow-citiZens when first
he proposed the innovation. One of the land
owners whose property TO be taken by the
Trial farm demanded 100000 francs damages
and that sum was positively accorded him by
the jury OF the local court On appeal the
nal figure is an indication OF the hostility the
scheme aroused In the first instance.
The publication Of the Seine Is not the only
step that Is on the OF being concluded in
the direction Of Kidding Paris Of the abominable
odors that disgrace 1t in summer. Before long
the refuse carted away by the dust collectors

so accurately by DR.. Schulhof. of Paris, that the
difference between the prediction and realization
