A NEW SEWAGE SCHEME
a Septic Tank Considered for the Anok
Asylum. 49,.

s . 10 10y :
81 The proposed septic tank to care for
the sewage Of the Ano1a asylum was dis
cussed yesterday at a meeting Of the
state board Of health, attended by the
governor and members Of the board Of
control. Professor ]. J. Father explained
the workings Of such system. It is a
deep underground tank into which the
sewage flows. While in this tank it IS
decomposed by the action Of bacteria, and
1t is then drained in filter beds. BY the
time it has reached the third filter bed,
IT is harmless as an ordinary running.
stream. It is proposed TO run this drain
at Anoka thru a swamp. which will be
drained and made fit for cultivation.
James A. Martin and o. B. Gould Of the
board Of control talked favorably OF the
residents had complained Of the sewage
from the asylum and that he believed the
septic tank would furnish a practical rem
edy. One can be installed there for $1,000.

Bar Harbor, Me, July q. - The
United States battleship Keorsarge ar
rived at Bar Harbor at 5.42 p. m. yes
terday and dropped anchor in the up
per harbor at 6.13. Coming at full
speed, the ship entered the harbor
and passed the other ships. OF the
squadron at anchor, then proceeding
to the upper harbor, where the battle
ship Illinois, with Admiral Barker on
board. was anchored. The Kearsarge
covered $500 miles in nine days and
four and one-quarter hours, coming
from Portsmouth. England.
The highest speed attained was
little over Is knots an hour and the
slowest was 10. Three times during
the trip the ship was slowed down,
once on account Of being in the yicin.
ity Of an iceberg and twice on account
of a very thick fog. Head winds and
thick weather retarded the speed OF
the ship, and under favorable condi
lions she would have covered the dis
lance in less than nine days.
The trip Of the Kearsarge has dem
onstrated that ship Of her class can
maintain an average speed of over 10
knots on long voyage without injury
to her machinery; that her coal carry.
ing capacity is adequate for trip OF
1000 miles under full speed; that in
time OF war ships Of her class can
cross the ocean and engage an enemy
at once; that the Kearsarge is one OF
the most perfect ships in the world
