ENGINEERING SWALLOWS

A COLONY Of bank swallows taught young but
observing engineer how to build a tunnel that his
more learned superiors had refused to undertake.
North Of Burlington, Vermont, lies broad sand
plain high above the level of Lake Chanpain through
which the Central Railroad be carried by
tunnel. The sand destitute OF moisture would not
cohere but crunbled away as soon as an excavation
made. After several costly trials the engineers de-
cided that the tunnel was impracticabe.
\ young in the engineers office said he could
tunnel the sand bank at a small cost He said he
could build the tunnel for many dollars running
foot; but that he couldn't expect the railway people to
act upon his opinion when many American and Euro
pean engineers had declared the project impracticabe
The managers, however, gave him a build
fifty feet Of the tunnel On the face of the sand bank
he marked the line of arch larger than the pro-
posed tunnel and this line drove sharpened trnbers
into the bank. Then he removed feet of the sand
and drove in another arch of twelve-foot timbers re-
moving SIX feet of sand. This process he re-
peated until he had space enough begin the masonry
As fast the masonry completed the space above
it was filed, leaving the timbers in place
He pierced the bank with the cheapest tunnel ever
built, which stands firm the day it was
finished
He asked whether there any suggestion of the
structure adopted by him to be found the books on
engineering
NO, he said, 1t came to me in this way: | was
driving by the place where the attempts were made
and that colony of swallows had made their
homes in the bank 1t occurred to me that these
little engineers had disproved the assertion that the
sand had no cohesion As every swallows home is a
Selt-sustanlng tunnel, without masonry, l thought
that by extending their method | could construct a
larger tunnel The bank swallow is the inventor am
simply his imtator7

Sewage Conditions Ia Foreign
 Countries As Described Tn
 American Consular Reports
(BY HON. 1ALMON GooDsELL.) )

sinall percentage Of house sewage since 1885. is clarified by irrigation on agricultural lands.
 The city of Prague, Austria, popula- tions 575s000 kitchen sinks and water closets are connected with the sew the same sewers. After removing all the solid substance the sewage re- maining runs into the River <Mo1dau without purif1cation.
 The city of Moscow, Russia. has a population Of 1 300, GOO inhabitants and vided with sewers for household waste leaving 60 per cent. unpro- yfded. The sewage is filtered on sewage fields.
 The sewage of the City of Odessa. population 520,00o is to a large extent used on irrigation. fields.
 None of 5he above conditions exist ing in foreign cities, as shown by the above extracts from our American Consul reports, have any bearing whatever or compare in any partic- ular as regards the sanitary sewage disposal comparable with the large bodies of saline water and the perfect sewage disposal which now exists in the City Of Bridgeport, besides none of those foreign cities used the dou- ble sewer system.
 Many. tests have been made in these foreign cities in regard to sewage disposal and up to the present time no sewage system has been devised Tor general adoption. Varying con d1tions as to location and surroiind- adoption of different methods of build ing sewer plants.
 In the Telegram of March 5, 1914. Mr. George Fitch, in an interesting article about Canton, China, states that the population of Canton, China, lfrxyrn vi I -1--z tants " here neither sewers nor ty-. phold fever are known in the city, a. fact which causes visiting physicians. 70 scratch their heads in a puzzled manner.
 Theoretically, great many plans for sewage disposal have been pro- posed and adocated, the world over mostly along the line of experime enta- ton, and until 1some definite plan of sewage disposal has been built and proved a perfect success, let other cit 1es of larger population and wealth than Bridgeport now enjoys pay for these tests, and in the meantime our. people can be nursing what little cred It our city has left for investment in utilities of more profitable nature than the building of new double sewer system theoretical blue print plans.
 In making choice of a city to live in if dependent upon it's sewage disposal and the question of sanitation and healthful surroundings, would you choose Bridgeport or foreign city for your future home? If you decide in favor of Bridgeprt our citizens will let well enough alone and vote against the Issuing of sewer bonds for rebuild ing the present sewer system our peo- pie are now blessed with
 Otherwise. you will add to the city,s, present large debt by unlimiated bond ing in the future for the so-calIed Herring experimental blue print dou- ble sewer system, which eventually means millions of dollars wasted, in creased taxation, and continued finan-- cial difficulties fol our citizens to struggle under
