posaL OF the two plans for getting rid
OF sewage, the frst-namely, simple dis

PLANTATION. The second method. which en-
gineers call disposal, is merely getting
rid of the offensive nature of the sew

beds OF sand or through beds Of stone
broken into small PARTICLES After the
sewage has run through one filtration
bed, 1t has lost much OF its offensive ma
ture. The second bed of stone IL always
smaller as 10 the size OF the stone par
tieles. and a third bed of sand or very
small pieces of stone usually clears up
the sewage into a yellow liquid, which.
while 1t has some odor has lost its pow

second method as distinguished from mere

directed toward it, and at various points
the polluted material is discharged into
it and thus safely swept beyond the city
district. Few cities, however, can do
this, which is the first method mentioned
in this article.
London, lying on the Thames River.
and not far from the coast of an island,
cannot discharge its waste material into
the Thames River, as 1t would pollute
the stream and cause disease. All OF
London's sewerage is taken to vast re-
ductiou plants on the banks Of the
Thames River and there, by chemical
processes. the material is reduced to
state described as "sludge."
Three enormous tank steamers, big as
the average ocean liner daily carry of
thousands of tons OF this sludge far out
to sea, where it is dumped overheard
through patent chutes and allowed to
seek the ocean bottom.

The Ship In Plata.
In the year 1854 the treasure ship La
Plata cleared from Linn, Peru. bound
round the Horn for CadIz. Spain. IN
her hold were nine great oakrn chests,
and each chest contained the sum Of
$1,000, 600 This immense treasure. strange
to say. was In English soveregns Why

treasure would have been in Spanish

laps it should have consisted Of solid

sphere From the old records we even
know jhe maine OF the captain Of this
galleon which was frcghted with a treas
ure fit for the ransom Of kings. He was
called Jean Rose and he was a French
man. The ship and her precious cargo,
however, belonged to grandees of Spain.
and the crew was Spanish.
The good ship In Plate rounded the
Horn in safety, and under a full press
OF canvas started on the long voyage up
the Atlantic toward home.
In the neighborhood of the Cape Verde
islands a pirate ship manned by the
same class of English bulldogs OF the
sea who had followed Drake and Haw-
lkins when they harried the Spanish Main,
was cruising back ana forth on the look
out for treasure ships from Peru sailing
hOmeward to CHdlz, at that time the port

possessions OF the Spanish colonies back

great booty at the bottom of the sea,

get possession of the treasure Different

sunken ships near the Cape Verde ISL
auds. 1t was 40 years ago that Moura
spent two years Citing for treasure at
Cape Verde. In that time he brought up
from the nav Of the sea between 81 900
and $1,000 in gold coin, recovered from
rotting timbers Of lost Spanish pirate
ship That he dill this is an unqestoned
fact, as he had long legal contest in
the courts OF Rhode Island over his
share of it with a merchant of that state
named Moses Green. He had turned
ing as 1t was taken from the sea. He
eventually recovered his share of 1t from
Green. The court records of this cele-
brated case are open to all who care
to read.
