CHICAGO, May 26-The price Of May
wheat broke &C bushel today. This fact
and other significant happenings led to a
quite general belief that the big shorts in
that option had effected a settlement to-

OF NO. l northern wheat, afioat from Du-
luth for Chicago. had been ordered to
Buffalo instead seemed to bear out the
idea. This was said to be all the No. J

Need for More Room.

The need for more room has been
almost imperative for some time past
owing to the constant growth in the
business OF the company. But exactly
how what was needed could be supplied
and the best plan for accomplishing what
the president Of the company. John JOY
Edison, and the members Of the board OF
directors clearly saw was necessary has
been the problem which has required time
and thought to work out in such a man
ner as to produce the best results not
only for present needs but also for the
future.
In a general way it may be said that
the scheme which Mr.. Edison has evolved
as the outcome OF much thought, and
after consultation with the officers and
directors of the company, will place at the
service of the daily needs of the company
the entire first floor and a portion Of the
second floor. The floor space thus Sc
cured will be much larger than an eN-
terror view of the building would indicate.
for it will include the l. as we'll rs much
of the room now given UP to halls and to
the Offices Of the real estate department.

THE SEPTIC TANK.

A septic tank is essentially water
tight box, of such capacity that 1t will
retain each increment of sewage "a
hours. Its purpose is to allow dis
solution of the solid matter and purl-
6calion of the sewage by bacterial
action. Its capacity should be the
average flow Of sewage from the
house per day. The accompanying
plans show a tank for a family Of five,
therefore of somewhat more than 300
gallons capacity. For each person
in the family more than five add a
foot to the length as indicated by the
dotted lines in the illustrations. The
siphon or dosing chamber is where
the effluent is collected and held so
that it will food the drain only about
every eight hours.

CONSTRUCTION.

The tank and its siphon chamber
can be made of concrete, brick or

must be at least six inches thick.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

To secure sub.surface disposal Of
the effluent from the septic tank, 3
inch agricultural open joint tiles are
used. Lay them at a d. pth OF eight
to twelve inches. These lateral
drains should be laid with Sigh
grade, of about 2 inches 10 lOO
feet. If the soil is loose the drain
should be at least 300 feet long in
compact soil 800 to 400 feet is bel-
ter. The best method for tight sol
is to dig the trench about four feet
deep and ill it below the tile with
three feet of sand or cinderS.
Then lay the tile on top sof
this. Two systems Of lateral dr4lns
are desirable. Have gate at the
division so that the sewage NAV be
diverted into either system for a week
at time while the other rests.
Study the whole design thoroughly
and there will be little trouble; al
though no system can be left to run
itself. The tank must be cleaned
every three or four years and the
lateral drains must be taken up

THE PLUMBING.

Have a licensed plumber if pos.
sible; in any case have the best OBJ.
tainable. Have a trap and ventilator
for each fixture from which sewage
is disposed into the drain. Have
the ventilatoTs pass up in as straight
line as possible to the roof, above
an windows. The horizontal part of
the iron soil pipe should continue out
through the foundation wall at least
five feet beyond me house, or it

good distance beyond the we'll. This
soil pipe must have grade or fall Of
