SANITARY REGENERATION
IN THE CRESCENT CITY

The sanitary regeneration of the Cres-
cent City has just entered upon the sec
ond OF three important stages For a
system OF sewers. which viii extend
through $50 miles OF streets the initial
digging occurred a few days ago, and
it was attended with appropriate cere-
monies. Hitherto most OF the dwellings
In New Orleans have been without any
such accommodations. A private COM
pany OF recent origin built few short
sewers. which have been useful TO the
hotels and larger buildings, but even
these discharge into cesspoOls. When
the projected municipal work Is COM
pleted. connection with the public sew
ers VIII be compulsory upon all property
owners. and the filth of the city will be
forced 20 a distance by pumps Thus
radical change in comfort. cleanliness
and health will soon be effected.
That revolution will be accompanied
or closely followed. by the introduction
of an adequate water supply. The two
things ought always to go hand in hand.
and deficiencies in one respect are
usually attended by deficiencies in the
other. This has been the experience Of
New Orleans To a limited number OF
consumers another private company has
HaiillStrfco since 1870, Dut the great ma
jority OF townsDeople have relied upon
cisterns. These are liable 20 grow foul
and are great breeding places for mos

feature OF the new sewer system. water
is to be furnished to householders gra-
tuitously. Moreover. since the city viii

event OF al attack the spice plantations

French ship from Madagascar visited
Maine TO take in wood and water. and

THE USE OF TREES
IN MAKING BOOKS

Much has been charged against the
modern historical novel. but until per-
son Of statistical mind came foryva I'd
and graspe6 the subject by the roots

II is well known that books are made OF
paper: that paper is made of celluIose.
and that tho cellulOse supply comes
from timber The discovery made by the
statistical person has these facts for it's
basis. To this is g&ded the fact Of nine
historical novels With q total sale IF
ls6OJ, coo copies. The average weight OF
each book is contemplated at twenty
ounces, and so 100000 books contain
about 2.00o.0oo pounds Of paper. a manu-
facturer of paper figures that a good
average spruce tse- viii yield a little
less than half aord of wood, or 500
pounds OF paper. thus nine historical
novels eirctlads,s- 10000 copies repre-
sent about 400 cess.
