In many places among the numerous

great cod banks. These are little

we consider the enormous extent of
these banks as compared with those or
the New England coast and the very
few fish now taken on them ms com

the Atlantic IL can readily be seen TO
what an extent this fishery can also

The problem before us, then, really
resolves itself into this: How may

age-disposal as carried on by natural
or by artificial means, on the irrigated
farm or the trickling filter. we find this
startling and remarkable fact-the ok

lions Of living organisms. The sewage
filter Is, in its essentials, nothing more
than pile Of rock upon which the good

to use their destructive powers on dan
gerous elements has been the effort Of
all recent sewage researches.

that I should neither see nor hear any
