DRAINING DAMP CITIES.

Improving the sanitary conditions
OF swampy places by the introduction
of drainage canals is method being
tried by sanitary officers in all parts
of the world. One OF the most import
ant projects OF this kind has lately
been completed in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, where a municipal improve
ment crusade has been doing effective
work in the east end
This locality was swampy and I'M
healthy, although an important resi-
dent section. "A splendid canal has
been built, which serves the purpose
of draining the sground through which
it passes, and also acts as main OUT
let for the rain waters which at cer-
tain times collect upon adjacent hills
and flood some sections of the city.
This canal is wide, and lined with
concrete On either side it is Dor
dered by the beautiful royal palms
native to that country For nearly
two miles it runs through the center
Of a beautiful avenue wide enough
TO have driveways upon each side AS
the canal has considerable current,
there Is no danger of the water be-
coming stagnant. and; 1nwho1esome
A similar canal is being laid in the
older section OF New Orleans, where
the lack of drainage has been proved
productive OF malaria and other dis
eases Unlined canals have been used
there for sometime, but the concrete
facing has been found necessary to
facilitate cleaning and sanitation.

BOMBAY.

The most striking thing about the
ancient city Of Bonn bay is the color
full and varied dress OF the people OF
many races that throng its streets.
To the average American traveller,
the crowd on Bombay thorough
fare looks like about a hundred and
fifty musical comedy casts out OF a
job. g 9s Z.
One of the Oldest peoples of BON
bay is the parsees. who first made
the city commercially great, but Of
whom only about 40, 600 remain. The
Parsee men usually wear European
clothes. with the exception of their,
hats. which are sort OF visorless
derby with a hard roll around the
bottom. and look very much like
small, inverted soup kettles. These
hats are said to have been worn by.
the first Parfees who came to India
as a pledge to the Hindus that they
would observe the laws of the coun-
try and not take part In politics. and
although that was centuries ago, the
Parsees have manfully stuck to their
unbecoming headgear.-
The Parsee women, however, do
not seem to have accepted any such
upon their powers Of self
adornment. for they wear beautiful
.clinging robes of soft. rich material:
and gaily-colored mantillas.over their

Heed the People.

Everyone says there must be gates
at the dangerous railroad crossings
in this city. There is no longer any
room for doubt as to public senti-
ment in this respect and the railroad
ought to know by this time
that this sentiment is not to be al
layed. Nor is it to be disregarded.
The Telegram hardly believes that
the railroad company feels that it
can so freely advocate the safety
first plan in everything but the in
stalIation of gates here and main
tain its self respect. 1t must prac-
,tice what it breaches. if it expects to
stay III the good graces OF ClaTksburg-
The crossing menace here certainly
demands application Of the safety
first principle.
1t is not the duty of the city or
the county to maintain gates at dan
gerous railroad crossings. but it is
their duty to see that the railroad
company maintain such gates.
How much more pleasant and graf
flying 1t would be to chronicle the
news that the railroad company had
voluntarily installed gates than to
tell the people that the authorities
had compelled the railroad company
to install them.
If the railroad company would re-
tain the peoples warmest friendship.
st will proceed at once to install
gates and thus safeguard the lives
