.SesOaee Plants for Cities.

The disposition of sewage, including
the drainage from all the sources OF
pollution. in large and small cities has
become one of the most importont
health problems of the age. The most
pressing part of the problem relates
to the deposits of matter in which the
germs of disease may lurk or be in
active form.
Where there is chance for great
drainage system like that of the Chi
cago sanitary channel the problem is
easily solved. The highly diluted sew
age is disinfected by the action of the
water flow with which in mingles and
it becomes harmless after short
time of friction with continent waves
of the current. This fact in science
has been proved by the effects of the
current in the sanitary channel on the
sewage from Chicago.
But no satisfactory solution has been
offered for a method of disinfecting
the sewage of large and small cities
not connected with the currents of
considerable running streams. The
question has become very serious in
the populous towns of the lacustrine
regions at the west and at the east.
Some lakeside towns have local popu-
lation of thousands. Many have sum
mer resort hotels, where greater
temporary and uncertain population
than that of the town are accommo-
dated. At these places the sewage Is
run into the adjoining lakes In time
the lakes will become mere cesspools,

SHETLAND PONIES.
THEIR GREAT USEFULNESS in
THE COAL MINES.
Pure shetlands the Only Breed Small
Enough to Work In the Coal Seams
They Go About In the Galleries of tho
Mines Like Moles and are Well Cared
For,

The Shetland pony, the smallest Of
his race and family, the greatest prize
and possession of our childhood, says
the Spectator, is now becoming quite
a parsonage on his own account. His
birthplace and bringing up, his career
and obsequies. are unique in the his
tory of the worlds domestic animals.
Born in hyperborcan islands of 4
diminutive father and still more dim
inutive mother, he passes from pasture
to pasture in boats, till he goes to the
south in n ship In company with hun
dreds of his companions. Then he de-
scends thousands of feet into the earth
where he works by artificial light al!
his life. and at his death he is brought
above ground to be buried. To work
in the mines is the destiny Of the ma
.jority of Shetland ponies. Lord Lon
donderry kept Il famous stud of them,
presumably for use in his collieries.
This stud has been dispersed, but there
are several in the south of England in
which, by careful breeding, the ponies
are kept small. These are mostly bred
for home use and for ladies' and chill
dren's pets.
But in the pits the Shetland pony is
still Indispensable. If it were not for
him coal would be even dearer than It
is. He'never goes on strike. his tenn
per is admirable. he never grows res
tive. even if,he bumps his head. which
is the only accident which commonly
afflicts him. and5to guard against which
the more thoughtful coal owners pro-
vide him with i leather helmet. Now
that the pits are lighted with dectrc
light the ponies sight does not suffer
They have fine stables. with movable
boarded floors. so that they never suf-
fer from thrush or cracked heels. and
as the temperature is uniform they do
not catch cold Pure Shetlands are the
only breed which keeps small enough
to work in the seams, even iceland
ponies proving too big and eXctabln.
There is no room to jump about in
coal gallery and the conversion IF the
diminutive "Sheltie' into an ,quine
mole is one of the greatest tributes to
its placid disposition and to the deter
mination of its race never to b, any
thing but ponies. In the quaint lhrase
of one of their admirers. there ire no
ponies small enough to push the Shet-
lands out of their deserved positbn."

Science and Malaria,

Professor c. B. Grassi of the Univer
sity of Rome describes in the current
Independent the recent victory of sci
ence over the diseases known as ma
laria." The results obtained were such
as to promise the banishment at no
distant day of these harassing mala-
dies from all communities willing to
take the simple measures required. An
accompanying benefit is the opening to
human use of many districts hitherto
deemed uninhabitable.
Space will not permit even resume
of the successive steps of patient in
vestigation by which the character and
manner of propagation of malaria were
established. Suffice it to say that ma
larial fevers on this theory are caused
by parasites implanted in the blood of
man by the anopheles species of mos
quito. These parasites exist only in
the human body and in this mosquito.
They can propagate in the latter only
In the warm months. The disappear
ance of the disease during part of the
year is due to the fact that there are
then no infected mosquitoes. But the
parasites survive in the human body,
and are taken from the latter by the
next crop of mosquitoes, to be injected
into new human victims. and so on
from year to year.
