There are no "werlin" cries. News
papers are sold almost in silence by
specialized men who look like profess

Detachments Of men work night and
day to remove every speck Of dirt from
the streets. Not only do they sweep
the main streets with scrupulous care,
but actually scrub every square inch
Of them once q day!
Therefore. Berlin. whose streets
were formerly dumping ground for
sewage, has recently acquired the rep
utation of being among the cleanest
cities In the world. Nobody littors
up the street or puts sweepings on the
sidewalk. Wire baskets are fastened
on lamp posts, against houses. fences,
or trees, in which the public may
throw waste paper while walking
along. The householders must sweep
to the center of the street in front Of
their sidewalks every morning. before

Spree. situated at the lowest elevar
ton of the city.
Here the sewage is collected IN
large central reservoirs, from which
it Is forced by means Of large pumps
through great iron tubes into the
country. It then passes into centras
stand towers, and Is thence distributed
through a system Of irrigation pipes
and bitches upon the land.
Thus the sewage Of the city becomes
the fertilizer of the soil. which pro-
duces fruits and vegetables for city
consumption. The area Of the nelds
irrigated is more than twenty thou
sand acres. The total cost Of the
drainage system was $30.000.000, yet
owing to the enormous yield Of the ir-
rigated land 1t has been an exceeding
ly profitable investment. As many as
five crops Of hay are cut in q single
year, and several crops Of vegetables
are obtained each season.
Berlin Is rapidly becoming less
Prussian, and more cosmopolitan.
Among other signs Of this change may
be mentioned the existence OF sew
eral Sportplatze devoted to lawn ten
mis- and other British games, while
there is a nine-hole golf course In
Charlottenburg.
Everywhere there are signs OF hus-
tie, and one feels somehow that tho
