A SEA WATER EXPERIMENT
The Fluid Eminently Adapted OFF
Flushing Streets and Sewers.

Some years ago the municipal au-
thorities at Hastings tried the expert
ment of employing sea water for wa
tering the streets and flushing the sew
ers, and their example was soon fol-
lowed by the local authorities of a
number of other towns on the coast.
The wastefulness, not to say folly. of
using for such purposes water that had
at considerable labor and expense been
filtered to the highest attainable de-
gree of purity seemed obvious, and
though, of course, it involved the in
stallation of a separate system of
pumping station, mains and hydrants
the fact that the supply was inexhaus-
tible and itself cost absolutely nothing
was so evident that it was strange that
this source had b~n neglected so long.
The sanitary and economic results
seemed more than to justify the limo
walton, for to say nothing of it's
slightly antiseptic action, the hygro-
SCOPE property of the salt caused the
effects of each watering to last for
much longer time, and the surface of
the roadway was believed by some to
be more compact and cohesive than
when fresh water was employed. Be
sides these retrenchments the new sys-
tenn presented a direct source of reve-
nue. in the demand by many private

that a grasshopper who was touched by

The young man also experimental and as
a result he filed a bottle of the same

the other in the professors laboratory

much boasting about his scientific attain
