Sewers. Ancient and Modern.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
Many centuries before Christ, Jerusalem
had q system of sewerage which was far
better than Harrisburg's. The ancient
Romans were in advance of Philadelphia
in this respect. Assyria. Babyionia and
Egypt could have learned nothing from
Pittsburg. The Mound Builders were in
f1ntely better off with regard to sewers
than the present city of New Orleans.
Relics OF their sewerage systems still in
existence show that they had graduated
from surface drainage before the scythe
of time swept them from the hemisphere
to make way for history as we know it.
We are accustomed to thinking of sewer
age as something distinctly modern-a
part of twentieth century sanitation.
Quite to the contrary. sewers were a lost
art. like the laces of Egypt. We are
just beginning to rediscover them.
take a walk along our river front today.
Solomon would hold his nose and Nebu-
chadnezzM would marvel at the de-
generacy Of the time. The prevalent idea
OF disposing of sewage is to throw IL into
a splendid stream of water. In the neigh
borhood Of Harrisburg the Susquehanna
river-one of the grandest strokes of ma
ture on her vast landscape canvas-has
been converted into cloaca maxima.
which poisons the air, offends the eye
and offsets enectually any other improve
ment the city can make. To attempt to
so long as the river remains in its pres
ent condition is like putting new suit
of clothes on man with soiled shirt.
What we ought to do is to wash our linen
first. No consideration whatsoever should
be allowed to interfere with the i'm
provement OF the sewerage system and
the river front provided for in the loan
bill now before councils.

The Hunt for a Cancer Cure


The Croker bequest, estimated at
more than a million dollars. to be used
in searching for cure for cancer. may
be productive Of much good. even of
the desired remedy. 1t Is by far the
largest sum at the disposal of investi-
gators. For many years physicians
have been searching for a specific. but
with only the most meager results. Mr..
Rockefeller has endowed an institution
which is devoting much of it's attention
to the subject. but 1t is evident that
there is much yet to be learned and to
secure the best scientific talent more
money Is needed. 1t is a lamentable
fact that this curse Of humanity is
growing in frequency. notably so in
this country. 1t is not fact that cam
GERS are never eradicated. One of the
results Of modern investigation is the
discovery that cancers come and go
and leave absolutely no trace behind
them that are Of value in studying the
disease. These minor cancers are, Of
course, small. and their presence is dis
covered only through autopsies, but just
how they are sloughed OFF or absorbed
is now unknown. according to an au-
thority who has recently published q
magazine article on the subject.

Electro-Chemical Experiment.
From the Engineering Magazine.


An interesting experiment illustrating
electro-chemcaI action can be tried by
any one. Pour a few ounces of mercury
into a fiat glass or porcelain dish: pour
over the mercury half an inch of water
containing a pinch OF salt or few drops
of acid; immense the negative wire from
a dry battery in the mercury. Now touch
the water only with the positive wire and
note the activity that at once is manifest
Try this experiment with dirty mercury
and note the instantaneous Frightening
and cleaning Of the mercury. Place the
positive pole in the mercury and the mega
tive in the water. and the mercury soon
becomes foul. Restore the wires TO their
original position and note that the mer-
curry clears at once. Grind the mercury
in small motor with some sulphur or
oil and It becomes foul. Now return the
fouled mercury to the dish and apply
the current at first. Note the clearing
of the mercury and see how quickly the
detached globules coalesce. Then remove
the mercury and add q pinch of bichlo-
ride of mercury to the water. immense
both wires, and note how quickly there
is a deposition Of mercury on the cathode
or negative wire. In this simple expert
ment Is the germ OF the electrolytic sys-
tenn for the recovery of precious metals.
While the theory of electro-chemical ac-
ton has been known for many decades.
1t Is only within the last few years that
methods and machines for making
practical use of the theoretical knowl-
edge have been devised.

Royal Arbitrators.
From the London Chronicle.

King Edward is to assume the function
of arbitrator between the United States
and Chile I'm a certain dispute, a role he
has rarely or never been called upon to
play before. The late King of Sweden.
by reason of his detachment from inter-
national entanglements. was repeatedly
invoked as q Solomon between disputant
states and sovereigns But the most
famous case OF the kind was the appeal
OF Spain and Germany to Pope Leo XIII
in the matter OF the Caroline Islands.
which was thought to be one of the as
tutest things Bismarck ever did, for IL
satisfied Spain and also flattered the pope
whom Bismarck had then every reason TO
conciliate. OF course the parties to the
dispute had privately come to terms be-
fore appearing at Rome to receive the
formal blessing of the holy father.
