the stool showing signs of wear.

( fies. as the excreta settles, the leyel
of the liquid rises and the excess
flows into the efiluent tank where
/ it is protected from insects by the
cover and by film OF oil. This
efiluent may be allowed to collect
in the tank until it reaches the level
of the connecting pipe, when it may
be safely disposed of in various ways
to be discussed later.
This device appears to meet the
following requirements
/. 1t solves the fly problem and
the mosquito problem, so far as the
privy is concerned.
2. It hquehes fecal material and
reduces its volume so that it may be
safely disposed of more easily and
cheaply than the night soil from
other types OF privies.
3. 1t reduces Odor.
A.. 1t reduces labor of cleaning
the privv, and makes this work less
disagreeable.
5. 1t is Of simple and inexpensive
construction.
Mental inquiry as to the eflici-
ency of this system in the varying
condition of climate and humidity
naturally is expected. but simple
may be used to overcome
any Of the ordinay conditions which
under exceptional circumstances
may arise. These conditions may
include freezing, rapid evaporation,
ETC., but because of diverse condi-
tions present at different homes, no
set rules for overcoming each can be
given. A little ingenuity will solve
every one Of these conditions liable

water-tight. The more persons in
/ the family, the larger should be the
tanks. A forty gallon barrel, such
as a whiskey barrel, or oil barrel, is
sufficient for three adults. In
creased capacity should be in the
proportion of about forty gallons for
each three adults. The apparatus
can be placed in any Of the out
houses already in use. thus saving
the expense Of building for this pur-
pose.
In case of rapid evaporation from
the liquefying tank, ii may be nee
essary to add water to overcome the
thicKening and its consequent odor
increase.
If this type Of privy is managed
fairly intelligently the indications
are that the liquefying tank will not
need cleaning oftener than once in
several years.
To insure the proper solution OF
the contents of the liquefying tank,
only toilet paper should be used
Newspapers, corn cobs, etc will
very materially interfere with the
putrefaction processes which accom-
plish the solution of the solids.
As an explanation Of the utility
of this system it should be explained
that the fermentation taking place
in the liquefying tank is due to the
multiplication Of bacteria in the
urine and fecal contents. Harm
less bacteria and other forms Of lower
life like the unicellular putrefactive
multiply 50 rapidly that
the disease producing germs are in
the end starved out and killed. The
resulting bacterial mass which floats
upon the surface Of the liquefying
ank is composed almost entirely of
.hese harmless germs and on the in
egrity Or persistence Of these bac.
eria in the tank.

HEALTH SUGGESTIONS.

Returning again TO the question
of sanitary privies. a short discus
sion of some Of the essential points
in its construction and maintenance
will help elucidate its principal quail
tiles. The apparatus consists Of the
following parts
l. A water-tight barrel, or other
container. to receive and liquify the
excreta.
2. A covered water-tight barrel,
can, or other vessel to receive the
etlluent or outflow.
3 A connecting pipe two and one
half inches in diameter, about twelve
inches long, and provided with an
open T at one end, both openings of
the T beingcovered with wire screens.
4. A tight box, preferably zinc
lined, which fits snugly on the top
of the liquifying barrel. 1t is pro
vided with an opening on top for the
seat, which mas an automatically
closing lid.
;. An anti-splashing device con-
sisting Of a small board placed hori
zontally under the seat about an
inch below the level Of the trans
verse connecting pipe. Itis held in
place by a rod. which passes through
eyes or rings fastened to the box.
