SEWAGE DISTINCTION.

The problem of purifying sewage so
that it no longer transforms the riv-
ers into which it is discharged into
open sewers has been so far solved
that these streams need no longer be
disgusting TO the senses and danger
Gus TO the health of people living
along them. The task of destroying
the disease-breeding bacteria in the
sewage and once more making the
rivers available for drinking water
has not yet been worked out on a
practical basis, but investigations re-
Gently made by the United States
Geographical Survey in cooperation
with the Sanitary Research Labora-
tory of the Massachusetts Institute OF
Technology and local authorities at
Boston. at Baltimore and at Red Bank,
N. j., show that this end. too, may be
attained at reasonable cost.
The essential agents of sewage puri-
fication are provided and employed
by nature, and sewage publication as
practiced today is but the intensive
application OF these natural processes.
The improvements that have been
made have not involved the discovery
or application of new principles. but
have merely increased the working
efficiency OF the natural agencies.
From the old-time sewage irrigation
field, with its maximum capacity OF
possibly 10000 gallons an acre IN
twenty.four hours. to the present-day
Alter capable of dealing with
two or three million gallons an acre
a day, Improvement has been steady.

OUR NEIeHRoRs' OPINIONS.

Saturday Globe: Almost every week
we pick up an exchange and find a big
scare-head article about some one who
has, or is about to fall heir to a big
fortune in England, Germany, France,
or some other place. The daily papers
are the principal offenders in this
lime. We should think this has been
worked about long enough. 1t is such
an old gag" we wonder editors will
continue to work it overtime. It's a
fraud on the face of it and has been
exposed time and time again. No
one ever heard of any one really get
Ting one of these fortunes, but some
one is alawys just about to get one.
