A widow in San Francisco desires his
chastisement; also a diamond brooch
which she said he stole from her. A

mention of his name. He was to have
been married to the San Francisco

Series of Mirrors

He says OF his system:
My plan of communication would
necessitate the use of a series OF
mirrows so arranged as to present a
single rejecting surface toward the
planet. OF course. one mirror would do
as well, but as the area necessary for
rejecting the sunlight more than 40

than quarter of a mile of glass. a

We would have to use a number OF
mirrors.

SEPTIC TANK FOR CREAMERY
Carrying Off Sewage Without Any Bad Odor.

The following is brief description of the construction and use of the sep tic tank, and the statements as to its advantages over the open drainage are made by those who advocate its use, says a writer in Hoard's Dairyman.
 The outline of the septic tank is shown in the accompanying drawing and the different departments are designated by letter.
 The tank is located in the ground and well protected rom frost by a GOV ering of earth or other material, and may be built of brick, stone or ce- ment with capacity sufficient to hold all of one days waste in the first di- vision, c.
 In creamery work there is usually a large amount of water, that has been used for rinsing vessels, cooling cream, etc., that contains but a small amount of impurity and such water may be allowed to run away without going through the tank, only the i'm pure water being treated.
 The cut shows the drain and trap. D, coming from the creamery, L. The

A Septic Tank.

pipe contains a trap to prevent any drain to the creamery. The waste flows into c, where a rapid fermentation is immediately set up with formation of large amount of offensive gas. In consequence, the tank must be tight and supplied with an air pipe, M, sufficiently long to rise above tAa roof of the creamery and carry " all offensive odors.
 The aection of the tank, c, is di- vided hy a partition, F, coming to within foot of the water line This forms a chamber that will catch and hold the greater part of the solid matter that comes to the tank until it is decomposed and washed away in a soluble form
 When the second days waste flows into the tank, the partially decom- posed sewage passes into through the pipe, G, where the purification is completed by further fermentation
 The discharge pire, G, draws the liquid from the middle portion, thus leaving the sediment at the bottom, and the floating ma ter in c for fur ther action.
 The drain, K, also acts in like man. ner, drawing off only the clear waste from the middle of section B. The outside end of the crain should be lower than the end in the tank so as to act as a syrLo1 and flush the drain tiles, into which the waste wa ter is led.
 If possible, the waste should be dis charged into a siX-inch drain tile laid underground and sui1ciCrt'y long to carry the waste away from the cream cry.
 If the tank is r-c-erly built and op- erated, the waste water S, ould not cause any nuisance if discharged into an open drain.
