Bowers, ° a me- ebanical and consulting engineer of .Boston, has introduced A new phase in phonographic music, says the :Scientific American. Whereas the ;average phonographs does not handle .records larger than twelve inches in diameter, with a playing time of four iminutes. Mr. "Bowers has a phono- .graph which plays for an hour with- out a break. ' The new phonograph males use �f .an exceptionally large mandrel on which records, - in the form of large cylinders of narrow width, are placed side by side. The needle or stylus passes over one record and right on to the next without a break, accord- ing to the inventor. In this manner even pay for /gasoline or oil or chauffeurs. If the President . desires to go to the theatre or opera, he walks into the private bdx that is al- ways reserved for him and his fam- ily amily at every theatre in Washington. At every concert or other amuse- ment he is a welcome guest, the management realizing that his pre- sence in the house is likely to at- tract a larger audience. Should he evince .a morbid desire to go out and watch the Washington baseball team .play a game, he again enters a private box. Then should he de- sire to cruise on a yacht, there is the fine Government cruiser Mayflower` kept for his especial use.. It costs him not a cent except for his food.

Moreover, an ex President, especially if he has any literary -gifts at all, can make a sneall fortune, after he retires.were incorporated in Canada, 1919-20, A former secretary to an Ameri- can President points out that 'while Ito doubt there are many men who can earn privately more than the Presidgnt of the United States is. paid, still there is no reason for a President to retire a poor man. In the first place he has an annual in - .come of $75,000, with an additional $25,000 for traveling allowance. It may be added that none of the Pres- idents of the United States ever spent $25,000 a year in travelling. President Wilson spent more - than any of them, perhaps, on his trip to Europe. In the first place he cross- ed the ocean on a government he paid for and we do not suppose r much aboard. In Europe it is not likely that he had to pay for his railway tickets; it is not likely that "he paid rent. To have insisted upon this would.. have been an ungracious thing to the nations that were only too proud to receive him as a guest. ;Moreover, the United States -Govern- ment made generous extra allow- ances for the President's vasiltt abroad. We would suppose that most of what the President spent would be in the nature of gifts of various kinds. • When a President travels at home, his position makes it impossible for -him to stay at a hotel, He goes :always to the home of some personal or political friend, and if he makes -a slight offering to the servants of the house this is about, as much as it is necessary for him to do. Needless to say he pays no rent for the White House, an', a private irdividual wish- ing to live in equal style would have to spend quite $100,000 a year that the President is exempt from. The government pays for the large staff of servants in the White house. Only the personal staff of the President is paid by himself, and usually, this staff consists of four or five, in- cluding a cook and a couple of maids. - When the President or his wife wants some repairs made in -the house, or some new furnishings, or or when somebody drops a p latcracks a joke, it is not necessary that he should it any of the con- sequences. All he has to do is to mention the matter to the Superin- tendent of Public Buildings _ and Grounds and if necessary the whole place will be refurnished from top to bottom.

(Contributed by Ontario Department of`. Agriculture, Toronto.) ATER pollution is response ible for many outbreaks of typhoid fever. This is due to the factthat the typhoid bacillus is frequently -present in .sewage .or surface seepage with which the water supply is so easily contaminated if proper care is not taken to prevent such contamination. Typhoid bacilli get lute sewage from two sources, viz., typhoid pa- tients or convalescents and typhoid carriers. The excreta, both solid and liquid, from such individuals is liable to contain mililions of the typhoid bacilli, consequently anything that gets contaminated therewith, particu- larly food materials or water, is li- able to spread the disease. In connection With the water sup - pi? or towns and 'cities steps are us- ually taken by the authorities, to see that seepage contamination does not occur or to see that the water is puri - Sed should contamination take place, as it occasionally does, even when great care is taken to prevent it. Fre- quent bacteriological analyses are wade . of such water supplies and_. 'these 'readily show the presence of sewage bacteria, should contamina- tion occur. The water may look - bright and clear and still have many sewage bacteria, including the ty- phoid bacilli; present in .it. If these are found the water is purified, us- ually by chlorination. In connection with the private water supply on the farm and in small rural communities where de- pendence is largely placed on wells and springs as sources of water used for household purposes, it is essen- tial that adequate measures be taken to prevent contamination of these sources of supply. Again and again outbreaks of • ty- phoid fever have occurred on farms where the well or spring from which the household water is obtained has become contaminated. In such cases the trouble does not usually remain confined to the farm, as the contam- inated water, when used for washing dairy utensils, milk pails and cans, and for cooling. the milk is liable to contaminate the milk. Then when the typhoid bacilli get into the milk from the contaminated .pails, cans, milkers' hands, etc., they multiply rapidly and' the -consumers of such, milk are liable to develop typhoid. Many outbreaks of typhoid fever in towns and cities have been traced to the contaminated well water on the farm from which milk has been sent for use in • such towns and cities. Hence the necessity for the strictest care being taken to re'vent contam- ination bf the sources of water supply on the farm. Should contamination occur it means danger not. only for the farmer and his household but for the -entire community that uses the products, especially the milk, from the farm. - Every care should be taken to pre- vent surface drainage or seepage get- ting into the well or spring, because such drainage or seepage may con- tain the typhoid bacilli that have been given off by typhoid convales- cents or carriers.—Prof. D.

Neither do horses. He does not ernment. This system' ccnnsists ordinarily of a two -chamber concrete, waterproof tank equipped with an inlet, over- flow and vent pipe, and an automatic siphon for emptying the. tank of the liquid sewage from time to time, and a system of tile, called the "absorp- tion bed," consisting of several paral- lel rows of 3 or 4 inch land tile laid with open joints, almost level, and shallow, and branching off from a main line of sewer pipe whech con- nects it to the tank. For the ordinary sized home each tank should be about 3 feet square and 3 feet deep; and 150 feet to 200 feet of laid the would be required for the absorption. bed. The vitrified sewer tile is best for the main and the number of them will depend upon the distance of the absorption bed from the tank. The sewage enters one chamber by a 4 -inch inlet pipe, where it is de- composed to a large extent by a cer- tain kind of bacteria, thence in a semi-liquid condition it passes over into the other chamber through a 4 -inch overflow pipe. Here it remains until a depth of about 18 inches is reached, when the siphon automati- cally comes into operation and dis- charges it in a couple of minutes in. - to the main sewer pipe, from which it passes into the rows of tile. Through the open joints in these it escapes in- to the top layer of soil where an- • other kind . of bacteria completes the work of destruction began by the ones in the tank. The bacteria in the tank thrive and work best in the dark and away from the air, while those in the soil require plenty of air, hence the tanks "must be kept tightly closed except -for asmall vent for escape of decomposition gases, and the •land tile laid near the surface. The intermittent flushing of the tank 'by the siphon favors the bacterial ac- tion in the soil by increasing soil ven tilation, the air being .forced out of the soil on discharge of siphon and afterwards coining back into it pure and fresh. If this system be properly installed it will dispose of sewage in a very satisfactory manner and without en- dangering the water supply.
