Sewage a Cleaning Agent.

Soap for sewage sludge is an extreme example
of by-product economy reported in the Zeitschrift
of the Austrian Society Of Engineers and Archi-
tects The process, briefly stated, is as follows:
Dosing the sewage with sulphuric acid heating
to 100 degrees c., COMPRISING into cakes, drying
and treating with benzine which latter dissolves
out the fatty matters. The fats recovered by
distilling off the benzine are Of a slightly yellow
color. Thus has science not only provided a
way to dispose of sewage. but has actually trans
formed 1t into a cleaning agent for household

Two Boston ward bosses have been in
dicted for a peculiar offense. IL appears
that they impersonated two of their fol-
lowers at a civil-service examination and
secured appointments for them by passing
the examination themselves. This could
scarcely have happened any place else
than in Boston. for in no other cities are
ward bosses capable OF passing civil-serv-
ice examinations.

SCIENCE AND INVENTION.
Brain Development.

Brain development is found by Professor Seq
gel, of Munich to have two periods of acceIer-
ation-from ten to eleven and from seventeen to
eighteen in girls. and from twelve to thirteen
and nineteen to twenty in boys. At the period
of most rapid increase in height, from twelve to
fourteen years, the growth Of the brain is less
than one-hundredth that OF the body but at
seventeen to nineteen it grows one-thirtieth as
fast and at twenty reaches one-seventh of the
body growth-London Express.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers In 1889, the editor Of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one
fine day In April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camping
upon his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him q very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the case became SO bad he expected to
die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle OF Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as last hope. A big dose was
given him while he was rolling about
on the ground In great agony, and In
a few minutes the dose was repeated.
The good effect of the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound sleep
for fortnight That Que little bot
tie work ed a complete cure, and he
cannot but feel grateful. The season
