depth which will allow for thirty feet OF
dredging In the deepening of the bay for
commerce.
The interesting points OF the sewer are
the devices designed for the clarifying OF
the sewage and for its distribution over
the bottom of the harbor. Clarification is
to be obtained by means of a series OF
screens and a sedimentation tank on the
west side OF Newark Bay, midway between
the tracks of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
and the Central Railroad of New Jersey
The plant will occupy probably thirty
acres of land, and will consist OF series
OF five grit chambers fitted with coarse and
fine screens a sedimentation basin OF l,SO-
UO gallons capacity. divided into tanks
and a pumping station II is expected that
all of the material of a solid nature TO De
found In the sewage will be removed mere
before the liquid portion is forced by the
pumps through the last Ave miles OF the
tourney to the shaft house on Robbins Rsef
AS the sewage emerges from the sewer
Il will pass along a channel having open
inzs into the grit chambers. Before reach
ing these basins II will flow through
coarse screens, which will remove the

paper, bodies of animals and other debris
of that character. The channels will tfen
broaden out into basins deeper than the
channels The heavier grit will fall to the
bottom. and the lighter material will pass
on toward the fine screens at the other END
of the chambers. These will be in the form
Of endless belts made up of bars spaced
four-teriths OF an inch apart. AS the oars
move upward from the sewage they will
carry the lighter material up and out into
the air, and before they return on the other
side they will be cleaned by teeth operated
bv mechanical means. This debris will prob
abIv be removed In barges to the open sea.
as there are few garden spots in the neigh
borhood where il can be used TO advantage.
After passing through the hne screens the
sewage will f1ow on to the big sedtmenta-
ton tanks These tanks will be approxi-
mately 225 feet long and Is feet deep, and
will have a normal capacity OF 1.250,0cN gal
Ions each There will be six. According to
the agreement signed by the commissioners
the tank capacity shall always be sufficient
to provide detention period OF not less
than one hour at the maximum flow OF the
sewage. It will travel so slowly through

ENDS OF PIPES CAPPED.

This would be the means OF driving BACK
the poisonous gases and keep the men
provided with supply OF fresh air Tho
ends of pipes in the workings should %
covered with 6 cap that could easily Do
unscrewed by hand. and which would PEE
vent any debris from cloggins the ends OK
the pipes when NOT IN use
An explosion si:zsht be of such nature
that il would destroy or break the pipes az
scme distance away from the head OF the
drift. in which case the pipes would be
ready for the service OF supplying fresh
air. And the men below. OF course. would
have to locate the end and signal for
nourishurent. in case OF their escape being
cut of.
Now. what I have told you Is. in q zen

should be done In preventing deaths from

mel. The inside pipe could be about one
half inch in diameter and the outside one
about one aud one-half inches The inside
pipe should be used for the forcing OF fresh
air into the drifts. and it could also be
used for the conveying OF liquid nourish-
ment-
The reason for placing the pipes beneath
the ties of the tramway is the protection
afforded by the track. OF course, 1t is dlth-
cult to say what the damage may be when
coal gas explodes; as a rule il sweeps the
drifts and tunnels entirely clean, taking
along everything in its way, but pipes laid
under the track in the manner described
stand a better show OF escaping destruc-
ton than when exposed. as some are now,
along the roof of the drift"
What is the idea of having one pipe in
side the other?" asked the interviewer.
LAS a matter of protection" replied Mr.
Rodgers The outside one acts chiefly as
shield for the other: and this arrangement
is especially necessary where mining opera
tions are carried on mainly by shafts. In
such a case the pipes should be placed IN
one OF the corners y pipe inclosed in
working shaft needs extra good protection.
fer the reason that 1T is subject to so many
bumps. knocks and jars while the hosting
is taking place. The fall or tipping OF
bucket. the blow Of the sharp or Jagged
edges OF q rock, or the attriton of some
other object against the pipe would be like
Iv 10 break or destroy il soon were IL not
properly protected. Such protection is best
gained by A.. outside pipe. which could face
the brunt of all the rough work near them"

A PLAN OF COMMUNICATION.

what would you suggest as means OF
communication between entombed miners
and the outside wor!d?' inquired the re-
porter
II would inclose an insulated electric
wire in the inside tube. the same to serve
for telephone communication" answered
the mining expert. Telephones without
connection should be stationed at various
intervals in the mine. one at each level.
and also in the drifts AT certain distances
apart
Should an explosion take place and de-
strov one or more of the most distant sec
tions OF the pipes. the survivors. II any.
might be within easy reach OF a telephone
and could attach IL 70 the wire or wires IN
the inside pipe. One could readily find good
hiding places for the telephones while not
in use in the tunnels and drifts. so they
could be rather well protected against de-
struction. Sonne niche or opening IN the
wall of rock could he drilled out for the
xeeping place OF the instrument.
Then. again. each drift in the mine
should be numbered. because this would
enable the people outside TO direct the wc-k
mr. rescue in the right direction. Signalling
could also be carried on between the men
in the mine and those at the surface BY a

FOR FEDERAL INSPECTION.

The commissioners further agreed tnat
the United States. through its representa-
tives chosen by the Secretary OF war
should have the right at any time TO make
full inspection to learn whether the agree
ment is being fulfilled II it is not, the
C mnissioners expect to be able 70 satisfy
the requirements by adding to the num-
Der of discharge pipes. thus increasing the
distribution area, or by increasing the ca
pacity of the screening AID sedimentat1on
basins There Is one thing certain: the
United States. having entered into the con-
tract as a property holder, and therefore
a party which may be injured directiy,shas
the power to obtain compliance with
these requirements in an uneqUtvocal man
ner. 1t is believed that the solution OF this
problem constitutes an advance in the
methods of disposing OF sewage in tidal
waters.
Tt is expected that the sewer will be COM
pleted within four years It will have
capacity of 3e0O00.Oo0 gallons a day, the av-
erage daily sewage flow at the beginning
being 40. 100000 gallons.

the one who wins is always the hero. you
know, and it's really much easier for
New York boy to play burglar than TO be
called in as chief adviser by the Chief of
Police. Don't you agree with me?'
Yes" said Mr.. Coulter. Then, briskly.
But don't YOU make me say that l think
moving pictures and dime novels are the
cause of all the Juvenile depravity in New
York because / don't. I'm not rabid per-
son at ali. except OH the subject of con-
gested population, and there I'm terribly
rabid. But In the matter OF moving pict-
ures, the moving picture people them
selves are eliminating the objectionable
ones and the others are edu1ative and en-
tertaininR. although one unfortunate thing
is that the young thugs and pickpochets
have made the smaller houses places To
consregate which naturally makes them
undesirable for other children. AS for these

as easily get a better class of reading mat

WATER OF THE PAssAIC VILE.

It is said that the condition of the water

the putrefyins sewage which II earrSs

unbearable at certain points The gases
from the water consume the paint from
the bottoms OF vessels using its waters, ac-
cording 10 some accounts
Ever since 1902 the people of Paterson,
Passaic, the Oranges. Montclair, Newark
and the neighboring municipalities, thirty
in number. have been studying how they
could remedy this nuisance. The plan pro-
posed Is to construct at a cost of approx
mateiy s1z. 10000 a concrete trunk sewer
twenty-six and half miles long paraIleling
the Pessaic River and emptying within
the New Jersey borders in New York Har-
bor, east of Robbins Reef Starting with
a diameter Of four feet near the Great Falls
in Paterson, this sewer will follow the river
down through Acquacknonk, Passaic, Nut
ley and Newark, growing in dimensions to
a maximum diameter at the eastern out
skirts of Newark Of thirteen feet six inches.
It will pass under the city of Newark
through a tunnel from twenty-five to thirty
feet below the street level and will be car
ried beneath Newark Bay, Bergen Hill.
