The Paris sewer system is said 10 be

different ideas from ours as to the use
Of sewers, for he Will see porters throw
big bundles OF paper down large open

On Shrove Tuesday there is car
niVal along the Paris boulevards.
From noon to midnight the crowd
throws paper confetti in such guam
titles that the broad streets are COW
cred with many tinted paper snow
when the last jewellers leave for home.
The visitor wonders how this mess Is
to be, cleared up. In the morning, how
ever, every scrap is gone. II he had
stayed out late enough he would have
seen the litter swept and washed right
into the sewers.
Perhaps that takes him underground
to visit them, one Of the sights OF
Paris. There are nearly 1000 separate
channels, some great aQueducts navi-
gated in a boat, with walks on either
side. They carry the telephone and
telegraph cables, electric light wires,
gas mains and pneumatic letter tubes.

Matter and Force.

= There is no such thing as loss OF
matter or force. The so called con
servation" of matter and its forces
was demonstrated years ago by Joule
and other SCIENTISTS. When, for in
stance, thing burns up" as we say,
the substances that give out the light
and heat are changed, not destroyed.
The wood or whatever the substance
happens to be becomes ashes and gas.
and If we could gather up all the prod
ucts Of the burning we should find
that they had not lost a particle of
their weight and that the form of them
only was changed. The eternity Of
matter was teaching of the old Greek
philosophers, or of some of them at
least, and the modern teaching of the
conservation or indestructibility Of the
stuff of the universe would seem to
corroborate the ancient idea.-NeW

Typhoid Vaccination.

The prevalence Of tfan typhoid" or
better named, vacation typhoid" is
making its perennial bid for attention
IN ali ,acit1es. New York being some
what alarmed by an abnormal NUM-
Der OF cases, which is said TO be oc-
1casioned by unusually, early return Of
vacationists, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin Health authorities of cities
are doing and have done their utmost
TO prevent the spread of the disease
and TO contribute TO its inception or
promotion. But the chief precaution
rests with the individual, IN choosing
his vacation spot, and in observing in
the country, at the shores, or In the
mountains, the rules of health, and
the care IN eating, which he recog
nizes as necessary for his safety at
home. Some things are not. however.

According to army reports. very lit
tie, if any inconvenience Is suffered
by the patient in typhoid vaccination.
The process is similar to that Of anti
smallpox incubation; a sore arm may
develop, but in the majority of cases
there is no illness and at the end of
20 days successful operation of the
vaccine, the patient is declared to be
immune. The life" of a vaccination
Is said to be three years, although 1t
may be effective for a longer period.
The army tests, for purposes of
comparison, at camps at Jacksonville
and Texas, seem TO have demonstrated
the efficacy of the vaccination beyond
reasonable doubt, and serum is now
being prepared at the army medical
school for general vaccination of all
officers and enlisted men. With such
aid available one scourge of human
life, at least, ought to be reduced to a
minimum.
