DISPOSAL OF REFUSE.

The disposition of the refuse and
sewage Of a growing city is problem
that has called forth considerable
study and experimenting upon the part
of city officials the world over.
The plan pursued by the city of Not
tingham, England, is undoubtedly one
of the best from an economical stand
point and from a sanitary standpoint
seems to fill all requirements.
The ashes kitchen scraps, and house
refuse generally in Nottingham are
placed I'M metal barrels or larger re-
cepticles at the rear of the premises
and removed weekly by city employees.
The total weight of this refuse is
about $500 tons per week. 1t is burn
ed In two city refuse dectructors.
This requires no other fuel except
a trifie for starting the fires on Mon
days and enough steam is produced by
the Instructors to supply electricity
for a third of the needs of the tram
way system. Some of the electricity
is also used for lighting purposes. Only
tin cans and the like are separated
from the refuse and sold. All the rest
is destroyed
The city owns two Instructors cost
Ing respectively, $SS,932 and $102,1s6.
The more expensive one is equipped
with electrical machinery costing $12,1
166, connected with the tramway lines
The cost of wages and other expenses
of the Instructors averages about S5
nantr I'm of rafuaa h,,rpad
The average quantity of electric
units produced is 44.2S per ton.
Though the system of converting
refuse into electricity works admir-
ably here and is a saving to the tax
payers, It is stated that only forty
other towns in the country are using
anything similar.
Besides electricity the Nottingham
corporation produces from the refuse
more street paving stones than 1t can
use. A plant connected with the main

NATURES RAIN FALL RECORD

Two or three years ago the contin-
ued drought made many people appre-
hensiva that the streams Of this state
would be permanently reduced in vol
ume and that our great lake would ev-
entually disappear.
We have often called attention to
the fact that the wet and dry seasons
in this country alternate; that Is there
would be period few years drought
and then there would be a period OF
plenty of rain for series Of years;
that some years ago all the lakes In
Nevada ran dry; that when the pio-
neers came here they walked dry
shod over to Antelope Island.
Yesterday we found friend who
has been making study Of the cues
ton, and he has reduced the matter to
almost a science. Curiously he be-
gan his studies on the circles of the
growth on the sections of the big
trees on exhibition in New York and
in the largest cities on this coast.
He figured out that these circles or
drought came once in about so many
wears and last three or four years or
even five years They alternate be-
tween fifteen years and sixty years,
and he predicts that there will be an
abundance of rain in this section for
the next six years.
Is it not curious how nature leaves
her records, and how when a season
of dry years comes she records them
on her trees? So, by noting the ears
on the growth of the great trees we
know whether certain year was wet
or dry.
Some of the big trees of California
have 1900 of these circles, showing thai
they were big trees more than 1000
years old when Columbus discovered
America but they all that time have
been keeping a record of the rain
falls. Men whose fathers when these
trees began to grow were barbarians
can now cut these trees down, and
by the circles cannot only tell their
age, but can tell when the dry and wet
seasons came in this country In the
the long ago and in the later years

Spring trade is making a most salts
factory comparison with the volume at
this time last year, except in a few sec
tons. where the weather is still unfav-
orable. and mercantile collections improve
steadily despite the high money market.
Leading industries have orders covering
production well into the future. Textile
mills are producing at remarkable rate
without threatening any accumulation of
stocks and advanced prices for cotton
goods have not checked demands In this
division the statistical position is beyond
precedent, mills being sold ahead for
many months and purchasers readily ac
cepting whatever deliveries can be Sc
cured. Premiums above regular quota
tons are willingly paid for early ship
ments. Most jobbers have now provided
for all of the spring trade. but others
will not be able to meet the requirements
of customers. This is especially the case
with western jobbers, who still receive
liberal orders. Little interest is shown
by the export division. as prices are above
the views of foreign markets. but produc-
ers need no support from abroad.-Brad-

A prize offered in New York for the
best school room game for girls has been
awarded TO Max Liebgold for a game
which he calls balloon ball Instead of

of opposing terms being to project them

representing goals. The lightness of the
balloons makes it difficult to direct their
course, but only adds to the interest. while
the exercise of looking upward and rails

to be beneficial, especially after periods

The latest educational scheme evolved
at Omaha, Neo., is to make it unneces-
sary for children to work for the support

These funds are to be obtained through

A number of the Hebrew students of
Columbia university have formed society
for the purpose of obtaining recognition
as to certain privileges which they say
are denied them on account of their race.
One of the charges made against the fac

in the various schools does not give the
Hebrews fail chance whereas they are
supposed to be awarded according to
need, character and ability. They also
say that in the teachers colleges the
authorities do not try to find places for
Hebrew students as they do for others.
