ers of cheese, but the people Of

age Of its cheese and the more affect
ton or respect q guest inspires the

Marble from Ashes

All the world knows that ashes
are tt last solid residue of combus-
ton and compose the essence of
earthly materials. mineral salts, pot
ash, soda phosphates, etc. The
uses to which ashes may be put have
not been supposed various; they
serve in the preparation of certain
lyes, sometimes to improve tine char
acter of the soil, under certain con-
ditions in the manufacture of brick,
always with view to furnishing
some desired chemical property; but
these applications Of ashes are al
ways secondary.
Recently German engineer has
invented a way to transform ashes IL
to marble of exceptional beauty
which is SUSCEPTIBLE to the highest
polish. He refuses to divulge his
secret though large inducements
have been made to him by owners
Of marble quarries. It is matter
Of chemical synthesis, of course, hut
it is said that his only visible APP
paratus is a small gas stove, togeth-
er with a kettle and what resembles
a copying-press. With these imple-
ments. plus the secret he holds, he
has manufactured a me6ium-sized
slab of marble in half an hour.

Serious Sanitary Problem Con-
fronts City Commission.
Two 3O-Inch Pipes Empty Into
One 15-Inch Sewer.
MANHOLES BLOWN IN AIR
Sewerage Backs Up Into Base
mentS of Houses.
Law Does Not Allow City to
Rebuild the Drain.

Topeka has two S0-inch sewers
emptyins into 15-inch sewer. The Is
inch outlet is not capable of carrying
the sewerage of the two 30-inch pipes.
After a heavy rain storm, the manholes
of the sewers for many blocks spout
water and waste many feet in the air
The woods near the river are swamped
with uusanitary sewerage The man
hole covers at street corners are thrown
from their places The waste backs up
in Easements of private residences
The two 3G-inch pipes handle all the
sewerage from Elnhurst the Sixth
ward and district 20. also Potwin. The
main from Potwin to the Kaw river is
only Is inches in diameter. The two
mains emptying into it are 30 inches in
diameter.
The city wants to build a new s-foot
main from Sixth avenue to the Kaw
and another sewer from Lowman Hill
This would easily care for the sewerag ge
for years to come But there is a law
in Kansas that was passed to protect
the property owners from over Jealous
city governments and enterprising con-
erty owner only once for a sewer
What Can the City Do?
According to preliminary estimates
made by city Engineer Young it would
cost $4,000 to build an eight foot main
from Sixth avenue TO the Kansas river
and relieve the unsanitary and danger
Gus conditions that exist in this terri
tory today. The city does not have
fund that will care for it. The budget
for next year does not provide for an
expenditure of s75,0 coo on new sewer
mains. The law does not allow the
city to create a sewer benefit district
and tax the property owners for the
construction of the eight foot outlet
What is the city of Topeka going
to do to remove the dangers of choked
sewer mains2
Fer several days the board OF city
commissioners have been trying to
solve this problem. The conferences
will come TO a climax the end of this
week when the commissioners will de-
eide to ask the state legislature TO al
low them the right of taxing a pro-
perty owner more than Cnce for the
construction OF a sewer.
At this time the state allows Kansas
City, Kan, the privileges of a double
taxation. This law applies to cities
with a population of $1,000 or more.
The last census placed Topeka slightly
under this class and she cannot take
advantage Of the law. The commis-
sioners viii ask the legislature this
winter to amend the law making the
limit to apply to all cities
Of the f7rst-class in the state
Meanwhile after heavy rains and
-haws the residents of the sewer dis
rrfcts viii have to place caps on their
cellar outlets and pile rocks on their
sewer mauholes.
