was given before the Engineers club of | Yale university and was heard by a large audience. A fine collection of stereopticon views added to the interest shown. The old system of sewage dis posal was reviewed, with charts show ing the location of the home and the old plant and the new.
 Mr. Kellogg gave incidentally de- scription of the home in general and commented favorably on the health and cleanliness of the occupants He also touched upon the suit of Gorham vs. the city of New Haven. Then he showed diagrams and photographs of the plant as now operating, describing the new system of disposal by intermittent sand filtration. The plant now in use was begun in May, 1899, and completed Sep- tember 23 of the same year. The three filtration beds, each 60x60 present, com- bined, quarter of an acre of filtration surface. At the bottom of each bed, which slopes slightly toward the center, iS line of tile drain pipe. This line divides the bottom course of i IA inch crushed stone and screened gravel 10 inches thick. Above this, which is level
 
 and the whole Is surmounted by 1 1-2 feet of fine sand. In the construction of these beds 422 tons of stone, 72 tons of gravel and 270 loads of sand were used. Much of the sand used was the product of the excavation for the beds. West of this is the tank 1Sx20 with a pipe to each bed. This tank in which the sewage is stored before filtration Is 18x20 feet and is fitted with an S-inch Miller siphon. Each of the 15-inch out let pipes to the beds is used twenty four consecutive hours, thus giving each bed forty-eight hours rest in sev- enty-two hours. The effiuent from the beds is singularly pure scarcely differ ing from ordinary hydrant water. Rain fall does not prevent filtration, and still less does frost. A frost which hardened the sand ten inches below the surface did not prevent the soakage. The plant is In charge Of three inmates of the hom..
 MT. Kellogg commented favorably on the economy and utility of the system. He said the citys water bill was only $2,000 year for the 400 inntaes whose per capita consumption of water Is 180 gallons per day. This is largely due to the automatic flushing apparatus, which operates continually. The audience ap- plauded MT. Kellogg and the club passed vote of thanks to him for his lecture.

A SUCCESSFUL ANNIVERSARY.
w. E. Gladstone Lodge, Order Sons (

w. E. Gladstone Lodge, Order Sons of
 St. George-Wrl Reeves Presided.
 Among the most progressive fraternal orders of this city is that of the Order Sons of St. George, and among the most successful lodges of the order in the state is William Ewart Gladstone lodge of New Haven. Although only organ ized eight years ago the lodge has made rapid strides toward the front rank and to-day counts among it's members some of the most influential English Americans of the city. Last night the members and their friends met in large numbers at St. Georges ball to fittingly celebrate their eighth anniversary. The meeting was pre- sided over by one of the popular and energetic members of the lodge, William Reeves. MT. Reeves opened the pro- ceedings by giving the members and their friends a hearty welcome. Tn his speech he said that the members were proud of the growth and success of the lodge and the great progress that it had made since it's was first organized eight years ago.. More espec- ially was this the case during the past wear. Their membership he stated, was now in the three figures, and they were receiving applications and work ing limitations at each of their regular meetings. The financial condition of the lodge was never in a better condi- tion than it is at present, its funds now amounting to nearly S1,000, a fact on which he congratulated the members, and one which he said they all ought to be proud of (applause) The lodge, he said -Mas beneficial one in every respect, not only in the weekly benefits which the members received when sick as well as free medical attendance but also in uniting and bringing together their fellow countrymen for social and charitable purposes. He concluded by hoping that all the English residents in the city who are not already con ! nected with the Sons of St. George would see it to be their duty to avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the order which they were all just ly proud of.
 A fine musical programme followed, in which the following took part, and their efforts were highly pleasing to all present: Miss J. Lagrasse Mrs. E. R. Reeves Thomas Smith, J. Eyre, T. But fer, s. ripper, and L. Brindley. The

 Emerson fingered in the rear of the train, and when he reached the top of the ridge, after all the rest of the party were over and out of sight, he turned his horse, took off his hat and waved me last goodby. I felt lonely, so sure had I been that Emerson of all men would be the quickest to see the mountains and sing them Gazing awhile on the spot where he vanished, sauptered back into the heart of the grove, made a bed of sequoia plumes and ferns by the side of stream, gath cred store of firewood and then walk ed about until sundown. The birds
 robins, thrushes, warblers, etc.-that had kept out of sight, came about me now that all was quiet, and made cheer. After sundown I built great fire, and as usual had it all to myself And though lonesome for the first time in these forests, quickly took heart again the trees had not gone to Boston, nor the birds; and as I sat by the fire Elmer son still was with me in spirit, though never again saw him in the flesh.
