A project Is now under consideration
by the municipality of Vienna for ths
more profitable disposal of the sewage
Of the city, which at present ls dis
charged into the Danube. The scheme
consists in the application OF a method
developed By Herr Noebel, Of Posen.
4or the utilization Of the liquid part
OF the sewage for the double purpose
Of irrigation and enrichment. 1t is in
tended to convey the sewage in pipes
to al extensive plain of poor land
which suffers from lack OF water, due
20 inadequate rainfall, over which it is
not to be carried in trenches, as IL
done in England, but the surface Of
the land is to be irrigated by sprnls-
ling the sewage water over it. 1t In
said that by this plan the land will not
be cver-saturated, as it frequently is
on the sewage farms at Berlin and
Paris. The system is stated to have
been already in use at Posen with SAT-
is-actorJ results

The aqueducts and reservoirs Of Je-
rusalem show that there was abundant
provision for running water in the an
cient city. Within the last few weeks
they have been brought again into the
service of the city, which for many
centuries has been dependent upon
small accumulations of rainwater.
The water is plped from Solomons
Pools, nine miles south OF the city,
drawing water from the sealed fount-
ain mentioned in TIC Song CT Solomon.
1t is a deep subterranean spring, which
flows through an arched channel to a
distributing chamber. This increase
in the city's water supply will enable
twelve ancient fountains in the city to
be used.

E860 2 Q "a r.

A writer states that the difference
in susceptibility to electric shock be-
tween horses and men is largely a
question OF shoes. The sole of mans
shoe has very high resistance, but
horse. with his four iron shoes, fas-
tened on with iron nails, is apt to get
the full benefit of the current.
The dragon-fy is the natural enemy
OF the mosquito. The Department Of
Agriculture has discovered that the
English sparrow, among its other Of
fensive traits, is fond of young dra-
gon-flies. called ''nymphs." When
these emerge from the water and
come out with wings the sparrows
catch them by the thousand and de-
stroy them. This, it is believed, results
in a greater prevalence of mosquitoes,
which carry malaria, and 50 infict
great injury.

Of twelve little oak squares, each four

the same as bona fde small panes, espe-
cially seen through the curtains, and there
Ia one advantage over tho actual small

MISSING LINK N JAVA.
The Human Monkey That Prof. Haeckei
Has Been studying in the East Indies.

Prof. Ernst Haeckcl tells, in his latest
book, Of a species OF the gibbon which he
had an opportunity to observe for several
months at his own residence In Buiten-
zorg, Java. This species u found only
in Java. its scientific name being Hyio-
bates i~encisus. The natives call the ami
nal oa on account Of the characteristic
sound II utters.
When the little animal stands erect It
Is scarcely taller than a child Of six years.
The head il comparatively small, the waist
slender, the legs short and the arms long.
The face Of the GA, SAYS Prof. Haeckel,
is more human than that Of the oranC-
outaug, the large red-haired anthropoid
ape that lives in the trees of Borneo and
Sumatra.
The ~physiognoIny Of the little gibbon

minded me of the manager OF an insolvent
bank bordering with wrinkled brow over
the results of the crash. Tho distrust
OF the animal toward all white Europeans
was very noticeable but. on the other
hand, he formed an intimate friendship
with the brown Malays Of our household
and especially the small children. He
never crawled on all fours. When he was
tired with running he stretched himself
out on the grass and let the tropical sun
shine on his body. Usually he placed
one arm under his head and assumed
exactly the attitude Of a weary wanderer
who lies down on his back in the shade
Of n tree.
when | held a piece Of tasty food Just
out of his reach he cried like a naughty
child huite, huite. huite, a sound alto
gcther diferent from the 'oa, GA which
he used 10 express different emotions.
He uttered a third and shriller sound when
he was suddenly frightened.
The speech Of these human monkeys
has not many different sounds but those
given are modulated and altered In tone,
strength. and number Of repHtdions. The
animal also uses nan gestures, motions
with the hands and grimaces In such an
expressive way that the careful observer
can detect different wishes and various
emotions
Besides milk and cocoa he liked sweet
wine. He prasIed the cup very skilfully
with both hands and drank like a child.
He peeled bananas and N
Most Malays do not look upon the Glib
bon and orang-outang as animals. The
former they belive TO I've hewitt ched men,:
the latter as criminals, who, as a punish
ment. were changed into monkeys. Other
monkeys. they believe. are in fact men
who are In tho course Of metempsychCsis;
In other words, they believe the souls Of
human beings at death enter INTO the bodies
of these mOnkeys."

THE CALIFORNIA DUNKARDS.

the New Testament Teachings.

Los ANGELES. Cal, Feb. 25.-The Dun
kards Of southern California live In one Of
the preitiest valleys in that part OF the
STATE at the foot Of the San Gabriel spur
OF the Sierra Madres- thirty miles east
from Los Angeles. They get their liveli-
hood from little fruit orchards and prin-
cipally from olive and lemon groves.
The central Dunkard town is Lords
burg. a village of 900 people, with trim
but very plain houses, neatly kept streets
fanked by rows Of shade trees, a large
college building and a church, about which
the whole colony rotates. One can scarcely
imagine a more decorous. solemn COM
munity than Lordsburg.
The whole population rises at dawn,
Is industrious all day long, never speaking
on any subject but those concerning the
colony thrift, the manifestation Of the
Divine will, the extension OF the sect's
influence and the Interpretation OF Script
ural passages. Al sunset there are brief
devotional services In every Dunkard
home, and when the evening meal Ia over,
each household gathers about its head
for Bible reading and religious oontem-
plation. Seldom u n light seen In a home
