UTILIZATION OF SEWAGE,

The utilization of sewage is a most
important question, but apart from the
chemical and agricultural uses to
which it is now put, there is yet to
be solved the problem Of utilizing the
waste with which every river to a less
Or greater degree is polluted This is
one of the things that they seem to
manage better in France, for in a most
interesting article which appeared
few months ago in the Leisure Hour
it was pointed out how the floating de-
bris of the Seine has for years been
a source of profitable manufacture in
obtaining from it greases and other
products Of commercial value.
The utilization of animal waste pre-
sents an extensive field. In the large
pig-killing establishments in this coun-
try, and in some in England and ire
land, there is literally nothing lost
save the squeal. Whether horse flesh:
will ever become in this country an
article of food it is difficult to say,
but an organization in Paris known
as the Society for Promoting the Use
of Horse Flesh claims to have pro-
vided Paris. between 1866 and 1881,
with g., S09, 46o pounds of meat. With
us the WORKOUT and dead horses come
out from factory yards, the flesh as
oil for soapmakers and leather dress
ers and the bones as oil, fat, glue and
manure, to say nothing of the large
quantities sold for cats meat. The
m nufa ct1lres of h1ttariuo and o1oos
margarine as substitutes for butter are
now products from animal and vege-
table waste. :

MUSICAL SAND,

Perhaps the most interesting expert
ence of musical sands is thatrecorded
by Kinglake in his journey across the
desert. He says: LAS I dropped my
head under the suns fierce fire and
closed my eyes against the glare that
surrounded me slowly fell asleep-for
how many minutes or moments I can
not tell--but after awhile was gently
awakened by peal of church bells
my native bells-the innocent bells Of
Marlen, that never before sent their
music beyond the Blagdon hills. -
s'My first idea naturally was that I
still remained fast under the power Of
a dream. | reused myself and drew
aside the silk that covered my eyes
and plunged mybare face into thelight.
Then, at least I was we'll enough
awakened, but still those old Marlen
bells rang on, not ringing for joy, but
properly, prosily, steadily, merrily
ringing for church. After awhile the
sound died away slowly" 4 p. =e.=
Kinglake thought he had been the.
victim Of a hallucination, but it is
probable that he heard actual musical
sounds, either issuing from the rocks
beneath the sand or caused by the
friction of the particles of sand over
which the travellers were walking. as

light, and mentioning a number of
cases in which he has used this treat
ment with success. ? . &
ia In 1888 he observed that a workman
afflicted with rheumatism was COM
pletely cured after having remained for
Is hours in the vicinity of very IN
tense arc light used for an electric
fountain. Il. 7
Since then it has been observed that
in works where electric soldering is
carried on, this being accompanied by
great luminous intensity, the work
men cease to be affected with govt or
rheuma tism.s .
7 In the present experiments DR.. Gar
nault uses apparatus which has been
specially constructed for the purpose
by M: Trouve. The experiments were
confined to the effects of local action
OF light, and; there seems to be no
doubt that the results are due to the
light radiations and not to other
causes. @.r ,%..- ~
' lamp of 50-eandle power provided
with silvered parabolic reflector was
applied in eight cases OF muscular or
artlcular rheumatism Of average grav-
ity and several years standing,and in
all these cases a very marked improve
ment was obtained at the end of three
to twelve. operations, and not fol-
lowed by a relapse.
Chronic catarrh of the nose may be
also treated with success by the ap-
plication of light accompanied by vi
bratOry massage.
The treatment was also applied in
cases of deafness, accompanied or not
by humming noises in the ear; the APP
paratus used consisted of two lO-volt
lamps provided with refectors and ap-
piled to each ear by curved spring
passing around the head; in some cases
the action of heat was eliminated by
placing alum screens in front Of the
lamps g.
In three such cases marked dimin-
improvement Of the hearing; other
cases without the use of the alum
screen were also successful. "
The most complete observation was
made upon person 80 years of age
who had undergone, the year before,
an operation in which the tympanum
and small bones of one ear had been
removed; on the operated side the in
tensity OF the humming noises had
been greatly reduced, but on the other

In twelve cases of deafness the ,ap-

the treatment in other cases. and is

be used in certain affections as a local
agent to great advantage, and that the
results obtained are certainly due to
