In regard to the kind and arrange a gentleman of quality and the honour of a flag,ment of sewers, much valuable experience has though by no means the same as the Chinese accumulated during the recent years of municipal face, are about the nearest things corresponding mprovements, and well-established rules for the to it in the West, and the common term "prestige" shape and size of sewers, and the fall which is may often serve to define hoth. On certain necessary for a certain flow, are available for occasions the two principles come into collision, future guidance. The importance of ventilating all sewers, both public and private, and of pros perly trapping all sewer-connections, has become inore thoroughly appreciated. Portland cement concrete has in some cases (both in Europe and An erica) been substituted with advantage for brickwork in sewer construction and for stone ware in drain-pipes. Engineers are also assisted by the numerous inventions of stench-traps, dendurisers, and other sanitary appliance, con-

China. at least, and no illusions as to the material value to her of the dominion over Tongking, yet she deliberately faced the nullay of 100 million taels to vindicate her theoretical suzerainty. The real casus belll was the burning of the Imperial Chinese seal found in passessin of the Anna-ducive to cleanliness and health. In regard mese King, which the French Minister ordered to be done for the express purpose of destroying the last vestige of Chinese suzerainty, and of setting up that of France in its place; and had the French Government been practical-minded enough to reserve to China this figment of a tradition and leave it in die a natural death, they might have had all they now have and enjoyed it to all eternity without molestation from China, whi'e hoth countries would have been saved a lavish waste of blood and treasure. In the struggles which the Chinese make to save their face there is nearly always a most Iudicrous Inversion of the motives which should actuale reasonable beings. In the high diplomacy you may take away provinces if you only leave them the victory of an ambiguous expression in a treaty. In business and private life the same subordination of the real to the unreal, the substance to the shadow, prevails very generally, and the perversion of the pride does not even infatuation, but stop at the simple form of infid, acterest of
the public, the States or the institution to save the face àf individuals. Corea affords an example of the obstinacy with which. Chinese cling to what they know is injurious, simply because they would appear to be influenced by the advice of others. The settled policy of the Chinese Government in Corea is a policy of quieta non movere, yet they support an Agent who is immersed in slirring up strife and impart. ing bitterness to the relations between the two Countries. The Chinese Government are well aware of the proceedings, were it only from their Agent's own fussy despatches. Yet Yüen is tetained at his post, simply because the high Chinese officials are afraid of their own shadow, afraid, that is, to allow it to be believed that they had yielded to the pressure of the Korean King or of his foreign Adviser, Foreigners of the more astute kind learn to take advantage of this false sentiment of the Chinese, and by a subtle species of flattery directed to the weak place, they are able to extract solid advantages from them. No one could better describe this process than the lively correspondent of the Journal des Dibals whe chronicled the current history in 1885-6, and whose letlers have been since published under the title of Journal d'un Mandarin. Speaking of the contract for the Port Arthur Dock Works the writer says, under date of October, 1886:
fait un chef-d'œuvre,
Les travaux terminés, il fallut les faire inspecter, el ce fut notre compatriote M. Thévenet que Li-hung-chang chargea de cette mission. Mission bien délicate, car les ingénieurs chinois, ses collègues, se pavanaient au milieu de leurs ouvrages et s'imaginaient, comme toujours, avoir M. Thévenet examina ces travaux, vit des murailles d'une épaisseur inquiétante...pour le port qu'elles menaçaient déjà de combler, à la suite d'un effondrement qu'il était trop facile de prévoir; il comprit que les ingénieurs chinois'étaient surtout Chinoi, et les félicita. Les détails que j'ai eus sur cette construction dépassent tout ce qu'on peut réver. M. Théveret cut, pour la première fois de sa vic, un rapport difficile à faire; car il s'agissait de ne pas être en désaccord avec les résis tances, que les matériaux a'abdiquent nulle part, et dont les protestations étalent visibles, et, en même temps, de ne pas désobliger sei collégues.

jamais prévues; c'était la faute des pierres, si les murs tombaient; les ingénieurs n'avaient aucune responsabilité d'ordre technique; ils avaient bati des murailles théoriques, mais non pratiques. Il parla si bien que le Viccroi comprit que son port était manqué, mais que ses ingénieurs étaient toujours de plus en plus célèbres. Il les remercin, leur fit payer les dégâts et chargea le spirituel et compatissant rapporteur de l'entreprise des travaux définitifs de Port Arthur. Voilà comment et pourquoi le "syndicat de la Chine," dent M, Thévenet est le representant en Chine, a obtenu une importante concession qui fait honneur à tous les organisateurs de ce syndicat. This passage summarises the constant atti- tude of the Chinese: "Save our face, and you may do what you like,"-Chinese Times.
The sea as a receptacle for sewage is generally preferied when it is contiguons to the town, for though sewage valuable as manure should not be thrown away or wasted until full con- sideration has been given to plans for using ton land, the trouble anil expenditure necessary 10 such utilisation generally appear to outweigh le promised results. In inany English cost- Towns the method of discharging the sewage into The sea is inefficient and dangerous to health; but by legislative enactments the local authorities will be compelled to amend defective systems In the coast-towns of other countries the standard of efficiency is generally much below that of England. For instance, the sewage is often offensive when it is discharged into the sea in the immediate vicinity of dwellings, or at a point above low-water mark, or where asoften happens in ag inland sex, or in a land-locked bay or gif - there is little flow of tide, or where the currents, are principally inshore. Such evils may generally be rectified by extending the discharge pipes further into the sea, or by conducting the sewage to an outfall on the coast more remote from the town, or to a point where the CUTTCALS arc more favourable; and such precautions sometimes involve the construction of pumping-engines for raising the the sewage. During the time that the out- let is closed by the tide, the sewer (although the sewage may be expelled) becomes in effect a large cesspool, and special precautions-sometimes in- volving great expense are necessary to veniilate the sewer and prevent the foul gases from ring through the drains into the streets and Homes. When owing to special circumstances the dis- charge of, crude sewage into the sea cannot by any of the above means be rendered inoffensive, then a certain preliminary treatment of the sewage, such as is presently described in con- nection with its discharge. into rivers, becomes. necessary

In tropical climates it is imposible to provide for the heavy rains in the ordinary sewer. A provision for in, of rain per day is generally considered sufficient in England, but in some parts of India 13 in. of rain, will sometimes fall" in a day, and even 3 in. in an hour. In cases of this sort the street channels and waiter couses must be arranged so as to give an uninterrupted flow to the rivets without flooding either streets or houses.
A compromise between the abernative plans of common and duplicate Lewers has leen tried with success in snue English, towns and where there is an opportunity as when a new sewage system is being devised-of suitably arranging, the works, it bids fair to be a solution of this particular question. According to this plan the surest gutters are allowed to empty into the common severs during periods of dry weather and moderate rains, for as such times the gutter-sewage has as much manurial value as the domestic sewage, and for this reason is as ill-suited for free discharge into river or sea. Bat each poin el junction with the sewers there is a "leaping weir," so arranged that while 2 moderate flow hom the gutters fails vertically into the common sewer, storm water, rushing quickly leaps the weir and is taken away in a separate conduit. As when such a time arrives, the streets and guiters will bave been already scoured of their worst impurities, into a river or sea to which the admission of ordinary sewage might be forbidden, and which in a time of flood may be in such a condition from ordinary land drainage that the street over. flow will have no appreciable effect upon it; the common sewers need be (in a climate like Eng land, where provision for rain-water is two- thirds of the whole) but of small capacity and the richer sewage used for irrigating land is then no longer wenkened by dilution, or rendered formidable in bulk for pumping,

CHINA COAST METEOROLOGICAL
The cost of town-drainage works must obviously vary within very wide limits according to the nature of the works required, and the thoroughness with which they are carried out. The capital outlay has not alone to be considered; and a comparison of the cost of works in various towns is incomplete, unless the annual expendi tore for working and maintenance be also reck- oned. In a gravitation scheme where the sewage flows directly on to the land, or into the sea or river, the cost for maintenance nerd be but small; but where pumping stations are required, or processes of precipitation, deodorising or other treatment carried on, the annual charges may be considerable. In London, the cost of main-drainage works and pumping stations was four millions, or about £ per head for the population benefited. The annual cost of work- ing and maintenance was in 1877 about one shilling per head of population. In England, it may be said generally that the larger number of modern drainage-works have been carried out at some cost between fifteen shillings and twenty-five shillings per head of population; and the annual expenditure in any but ill-managed or peculiarly difficult cases, is some amount between one and two shillings per head, exclusive of interest on capital. The expediency of providing for a growth of population must obviously depend Halog upon the probabilities of increase, and the com parative cost-according to the nature of the scheme of constricting large works at the
In most civilised towns there are established regulations or bye-laws for streets, and for their drainage; and where new lines of houses or streets are constructed by private persons, conformity to the bye-laws is a condition precedent to the streets being opened for traffic and taken over for future maintenance by the municipality. The removal of sweepings from streets; of ashes, bones, broken earthenware, and other domestic rubbish from houses; and of garbage from markets and abattoirs, is almost as essential to health as is the riddance of sewage. The removal of refuse is generally managed by municipal officers, who employ for the purpose either workmen at day wages, criminals, or paupers; or by contractors, who, providing labour, carts and appliances, are paid either by money or by the refuse which they remove. Although in most towns, there are such arrangements for dealing with refuge, its presence in the streets or near houses before removal, and its accumulation in the vicinity of commencement, or of adding to them afterwards. the town afterwards, are fruitful sources of As in constructing long lines of main sewer it is disease, and too often the evils are perpetuated by the building of new houses on or close to land formed of decaying rubbish heaps. In those cities where waste land is unobtainable rious methods have been adopted for disposing of the refuse, and, except where it is all thrown into the sea or buried, it is generally only by claborate division into classes that the whole cin be got rid of Indeed, in large cities like London or Paris there are few persons, even among those officially connected with sanitary aits, who are fully aware of what dora become of the refuse. Although in some parts of London the collection and disposal of the refuse are entirely in the hands of contractor, who have by experience discovered the various ways in which the refuse can be utilised, in most of the districts the work is done entirely by the municipal authorities, an
