 DF. Guiteras Lectures.
 Perhaps the largest and most repre- sentative audience ever assembled in Serman Relief Hall was that of to- night. Tho occasion was a lecture bv Dr. John Guiteras of the Superior Board or Health of Havana. The lecture was delivered at the request of the auxiliary sanitary association. The weather was almost intolerably hot. but the assemb- lase was very large, one-haIf being ladies. On the rostrum were the mem ners Of the Auxiliary Sanitary Associa- ton, Mayor Pat J. Lyons, City Health omcer Goode and members of the Board Of Health. Mir. Max Hamburger. Jr. general chairman of the Auxiliary san ftary Association, in a neat but brief address, introduced Dr. Guiteras, say ing he was sure what would be told by the distinguished speaker would be Of lnconsiderable value to his hearers. pr. Guiteras after gracefully acknowl- eoging the introduction, entered at once into his discussion of the mosquito theory as 1t pertained to yellow fever. He spoke in detail of Lasaminas Hos pital In Havana. of the. method of treatment of yellow fever there and other data which appeared to convince them the mosquito was the only method Of transmitting the disease. He spoke at great length and was closely fol- iowed. He received much applause during his discourse

LONDON, August 10. 1893.
To the steadily increasing influence OF
American visitors and residents in London
is largely attributed the great increase in
the consumption OF ice which has been
noted this season During the recent hot
spell it amounted to over 1000 tons day
mere fraction of what New York. with a
much smaller population. demands in warm
weather. but it is here considered an enor-
nous quantity.
In the past most Englishmen have been
accustomed to regard ice water and iced
drinks of all kinds as a pernlcious luxury,
Doctors have told them that they are re-
sponsble for much of the indigestion, dys-
pepsia and other ailments with which Amer
leans are popularity supposed to be afflicted
beyond the rest of mankind. But Ameri-
cans sojourning I'm London have insisted on
being served with them when the tempera-
ture is oppressive. And hotels and res
taurants that cater to their custom have
found that it pays to give them what they
want In fear and trembling some of the
most venturesome English folks followed
their example and, finding that they imme-
diately felt on better terms with themselves
and the weather. and that no dire results
their friends that they had discovered some
thing which Increased the joys of existence.
OF course, London is never subjected 10
such swelteTing heat as makes existence in
many of the big American cities a grievous
burden. But this summer there have been
several days when the mercury has scared
above SO in the shade, and with humidity
high the combination has sufficed to pro-
duce the thirst which iced beverages alone
Will satisfy. One of the largest medium
priced restaurants in London, which was
opened this year. has made "A speciality OF
American iced drinks of the temperance va
riety, with the addition OF few that are
mildly alcoholic. With American who
understands the art of preparing them prop
erly and artisticaily in charge OF the de-
partment it has proved the most popular
e AZURE of the establishment. The number
of American soda water fountains in the
metropolis is rapidly increasing. One of
them has been recently added to the Ameri-
can restaurant in the Strand. | saw an
Englishman there the other day washing
down mutton chop and fried potatoes with
a chocolate ice cream soda He survived it,
The American In charge of the fountain
told me that was nothing. He had seen an
Englishman take a strawberry ice cream

ed, Rockefeller would give half his mill
lions to swap stomachs with that man.
Many of the cheaper restaurants disEsnse
what they call American iced long drinks"
There is not much that is suggestive Of an
American origin about them except the ice
and straws but they serve to increase the
demand for ice Ice itself Is no longer re-
garded as a pernicious luxury. 1t is the
price of it here that people kick about. To
keep a small family refrigerator going for
a week-such in the American cities
would cost from 80 to IS cents-here reces-
states an expenditure of between 3 and 81.

but, owing to insufficient data in respect to
the Great Falls supply, due to the small
amount of the appropriation, Whlch hau

ment. the Great Falls project was not gone
into at any length. The survey and inVes-
LEGATION was confined to the Rock Creek
proposition. Col. Hughes proposed, by
building a dam, to obtain from Rock creek
a possible supply of S0OO00 gallons per
diem. and this was considered sufficient to
supply the city for the next forty years.
Washington at that time contained 4o,O2i
inhabitants. 1t was proposed to supply
800 0OO gallons daily. This was considered
ample at the time, being more than thirty
gallons per capita per diem. Col. Hughes
said in his report: This is the highest cal
Culation l have seen, and is, no doubt, am
pie for for city, except for manufac-
turing purposes"
In the Rock creek project a sedimentatfon
reservoir was proposed, located on Meridian
Hill, with distributing reservoir Ito be
established just back of Franklin road, the
highest ground within the city This 10

city The surface of the water in the dis
tributing reservoir was to be 147 feet above
ordinary low tide. 81 feet above the east
ern base of the Capitol. In the sedimenta-
ton reservoir the level was to have been
100 feet above low tide, and the water for
fountains and a great jet d eaux was 10
be drawn directly for this level. The esti- |
mated cost of the project was $500, 900.
With Capt. NJ. c. Meigs. Corps of Engt- |
neers. United States army, originated the |
project for delivering the water from Great |
Falls to the city. In 1852 Congress appro- |
priated s. eco to enable the President to de- |
wise a plan for supplying the city with an |
adequate water supply, the Rock creek |
proposition having been discarded. Under |
this order the surveys were made in the |
winter of 1928. and the report of Capt.
Meigs gave careful estimates and elaborate
details. Congress. after a full discussion of
the plans voted to defray from the treasury
the cost of any project the President might
approve provided that, if the supply of
water be secured in Maryland, the consent
of the state shall be first obtained" The
President adopted the Meigs plan-that Is, |

duit nine feet in diameter.

The level of the comb of the dam was made
las feet above high tide at this city. Two
reservoirs were built. The receiving reser-
voir was formed by damming the Little
Falls branch. a tributary of the Potomac
situated along the line of the conduit, about
four and one-half miles from Washington.
Its area is about fifty and one-haf acres
and It's capacity approximately S25O0,oo0
gallons. 1t is used for both storage and
sedimentation. 1t shortened the conduit
and thus saved expense, besides doing away
with the necessity of aqueduct over the
Little Falls branch. The distributing res
ervor. situated about two miles from the
city on the heights above Georgetown, and
connected with the receiving basin by
continuation of the conduit, is formed by
earthen entertainments thrown up on suit

but since that date the system has been in
continuous successful operation. Later, to
avoid surface drainage into the Dalecarlia

was constructed, and it was intended to use
this basin only when the conditions war

has been properly disposed of, and the by
