The Water Problem.

One OF the most puzzling problems con-
fronting the thickly- populated sections OF
the country is that involving the mainte-
nance of pure water supply. The public
health depends TO such an extent upon this
necessity that the sanitary solution of the
matter is absolutely essential 10 the
growth OF municipal greatness. And, while
billions OF dollars have been expended in
engineering enterprises calculated TO divert
polluting matter from the great natural
reservoirs drawn upon By millions OF peo-
pie Tor their drinking water. those who are
capable OF looking into the future realize
that the relief secured Is only temporary.
The comparative ease with which aqua
pura is obtained in sparsely populsted
communities makes them immune Tor the
time being from the necessity OF seeking
freedom from contamination. but there are
few large cities which are not today con-
fronted by conditions that have aroused
fears for the immediate future OF The pub
lie health.
The difficulties are complicated. The adj
vsn7ages Of being adjacent to q nayigable
waterway have attracted large numbers Of
people TO The banks OF American STRAINS,
where gigantic cities have sprung up until
the whole length OF the rivers Is dotted
with more or less preienlious municip8li-
ties. For those at beadysters o. near them,
the problem of securing comparatively pure
waller and disposlng OF drainage is one

| easy of solution but the difficulty increases
proportionately with the distance from the
rivers source. Many communities having
| grown from hundreds to thousands. find
smaller streams inadequate to their needs
and are Obliged TO draw upon the navigable
waterway for their additional supply. The
short distances between the centres OF
population on the same river make 1t i'm
possible for nature. even though great
purifier, to complete the process of AGRA
ton through the chemical operation of
sunlight and exposure &c the atmosphere,
so that the deleterious elements contrib
uted by one city are carried to its less for
tunate neighbor or neighbors down stream.
With the increase of population, these
alarming conditions become augmented and
the problem assumes more menacing
form Sanitary ingenuity. as the only al
Tentative. turns to mechanical or artificial
filtration for aid, and costly experiments in
this direction are Low being conducted in
various localities where the pure water
problem has provoked fears of epidemic and
produced an energetic public determination
to find way or make it.
These observations are pertinent in view
of the fact that Chicago has just opened
its drainage channel, constructed at a
cost Of thirty-three million dollars in
actual expenditure. and none knows low
much future payment in bills of litigation.
The Western metropolis was forced by the
increased pollution of Lake Michigan. its
water supply, to divert the drainage of
The city and force it in some other direc-
ton. The great channel is to carry the
contents of the sewerage system away
from The lake. through the Desplaines and
Illinois rivers to the Mississippi, thence to
the Gulf of Mexico and the ocean. The
Chicagoans claim that the natural flow of
contaminated water through this immense
artificial channel, forty miles in length,
viii render It harmless TO other river cities.
But there is high temper in several of
these municipalities where claim is made
that the turning of polluted liquid in their
direction is menace 10 their physical we'll

That the pure water problem and its
collateral difficulty. the sanitary DISPOSE
ton Of drainage, will eventually be
solved, none who has observed the
achievements of modern days can doubt.
II 1t is not overcome in this generation,
wiser posterity will certainly dispose OF II
in satisfactory fashion. The true solu-
tion of the matter would seem to lie with
in the province of cremation or chemical
destruction. 1t is by means of chemical
action that publication is produced in the
economy of nature and. if man can find
the way of accelerating this operation. he
may achieve almost perfect results in
the health of great cities from
a menace that keeps pace with the growth
of the population.

The Closed Purse of Carnegie.

men TO vote the ticket, and will shut his
eyes and purse TO the corruption fund Of

IL must be conceded that there is some
thing awful about this declaration. Prob
ably nobody but Mr. Carnegie and Mr..
Hanna know how much the formers heart
