there is whirling and sputtering such
as are caused by up currents of air. If
you suspect steady escape of sewer air
put a Dit of lighted candle in a tin can
dlestick and set the candlestick in the
closet above the trap. Leave 1t undis-
turoed for thres" hours and keep the
bath roomed closed. Sewer air is so fun
Of carbonlc acid any considerable escape
of it will in that time extinguish the
fame.
Another test especially valuable for sink
traps and screened traps generally is that
of a silver spoon. Rub the spoon as
clean and bright as possible. and either
lay or hang it for twelve hours in the
suspected spot. Even a trace of sewer
gas will blur and begin to tarnish it.
The flame test also applies to such traps.
though less potently, as the grating in
measure breaks up the flow of gas.
Open plumbing is boon little short of
light and air. 1t enables you not merely
to see the sort of trap and its location,
but also to make sure that proportion is
properly observed. Proportion is all i'm
portant for many reasons. The chiefest
of them is that where a pipe is too big
for the water flow it is never properly
secured Right here it may be well to
say that four-inch pipe will take four
times as much water as a two-inch one;
also that friction, which is the retarding
influence in the securing, exists in the
same ratio. Too big a trap is partcu-
larly dangerous. Unless every particle of
dirty wafer is forced out beyond the wa
ter seal the trap becomes a miniature
cesspool. in which waste matter contin-
ually decays and posons the atmosphere.
No competent nor conscientious plumber
Thinks of using a trap bigger than the
pipe that drains it. But there are artisans
not oberburdened with either knowledge
or conscience. Hence it is well to know
the right thing and insist upon having it.

FATHER AND son DROWNED.

colored man. and his S-year-old son, were
drowned in the herbor yesterday after
noon about o'clock. They were coming
in from fishing trip, and when near the

white fisherman, by the name of Sweet

vessel to the rescue, but before he ar
rived both the man and boy had gone
down, and neither of their bodies were
found. The father could probably have
saved himself, but he could not stem the

he bravely went down with him. All eff
