All Should Have Traps.

I'm my opinion" said the Inspector,
"all sewers should be protected by
traps Inithat way it will be impossible
for the gas to escape into the street,
and there will be no danger Of disease
from the obnoxious fumes. I"
Mr.. Landers said he would recommend
to the Board OF Health at the next meet
Ing that traps" be placed In all the
sewers.
A trap is a partition between the space
leading from the inlet Of the sewer to the.
discharge pipe, with q space below for
the flow of water. The partition keeps
the water above the ground line, thereby
making 1t Impossible for the gas to pass
through to the mouth Of the sewer,
The old sewers are supplied with traps,
but most of the new ones are not. 0
In the latter construction of sewers.
numbers Of ventilating caps are placed ut
intervals along the middle Of the street.
Immediately above the main pipes Of the.
sewers. These ventiators are designed
to carry off the gas. but at times the
holes become filled with dirt and refuse,
and the ventilators become almost use
less. Then the gas makes its way from
the mouth Of the sewer. y$I5{

Acts Promptly.

Tho Board OF Health has received a
number OF complaints from citizens In
various sections OF the city about the
escape Of sewer gas, which, spreads foul
odors to the discomfort and disgust OF
people in tho various localities.
Aty the last meeting Of tho board, In

an inspection Of the sewer system Of the

Tho inspection has been made. and tho
result Is Of interest, In that 1t indicates,

Peculiar conditions existed in some
cases. At Ninth and Grace Streets there
are three sewer openings. Two of them
are without traps and the others are prop

nuisances. IN that the foul sewer gas

large amounts Of medical and other
stores. The success OF the japanese
resulted from superior generalship
more than in the amount OF fighting.
The very first day the Russian left
was turned which forced hasty' re-
treat, and day or two afterwards,
new dispositions of the japanese army
made the point to which the Russians
retreated also untenable and forced
further and more disastrous retreat.
The second retreat Of the Russians
made New Chwang, where the Rus
SLAMS had made costly and extensive
works untenable and the forts were
dismantled and the guns removed.
New Chwang has not yet been occu-
pied by the Japanese.
Upon landing in the rear of Port
Arthur, the Japanese destroyed por-
ton of the railroad and cut the tele-
graph wires. 1t seems that a great
storm came up and the Japanese failed
to land many troops. The Russians
rallied and repaired the railroad and
telegraph. Vice Roy Alexif left Port
Arthur by the last train and 1t was
fired on by the Japanese and three
were wounded.
Admiral Togo, In command OF the
Japanese navy, reports that frequent
heavy explosions have been heard In
Port Arthur for the last three days
and he thinks that the Russians are
blowing up the ships and forts with
the intention of evacuating the place.
No battle was fought on the peninsula
and the japanese were not forced to
retire from the railroad and why they
should have allowed the Russians to
open up communications with Fort
Arthur Is a mystery. 1t is suggested
that this landing in the rear OF Port
Arthur may have been only a feint,
covering large movements elsewhere.
The details of the closing OF Port
Arthur with sunken ships will be con-
sidered, no matter with which party
one sympathizes one Of the greatest
naval feats on record Subaltern Off
GERS of the Japanese navy drove these
ships ladened with stone and cement.
into the mouth Of the harbor over
fields of carefully laid mines, under
the direct fire Of the strongest land
batteries armed with scores OF modern
guns, and anchored and sunk them
in the right spot in broad daylight.
Not all the ships got through, but
enough to close the mouth of the har-
Dor. 1t makes Hobson's feat, of which
all America was proud, look insignif-
icant. The whole crew of two ships
were>lost and more than half OF the
others manning the other ships.
