average human generation. when

ulation. American cities and indeed
all cities were subject -—wlthout

Since then. this scourge has been

among 11:11. btit among all civilized
nations.
The editor mentioned other noted
Instances of progress in Sanitation:

the extension of the morons length
of human life by seine ten or fifteen
years. Surely this is great progress.
but he did not mention the causes
of this progress more than that he
have 11 tribute of congratulation to1
the scientists who at the risk of
their lives and With tho utmost de-
votion and unseli‘ishncss had "won
the war for immunity." it is truly
right and proper that this tribute
should lune been accorded. but why
not also mention the soldiers of sa-
nitation in the ranks—the suppers
and miners. as it 1v11re—-—of that great
army attacking the hosts of death

Few persons routine the progress in
applied hydraulics in most years.
The modern centrifugal pump makes
water supply poulblo. in most cases
otherwise impo-lblo. it is the heart
of the water supply system. From a
single pumping unit a veritable

Looking into s large water filtra-

viewing an alcove of the Temple of
Health and associating with her
ministers.
Nearly half of the population of
the United States is now served
with potable water that has been
given some form of treatment. There
are many large filtration plants
such as those mentioned in the
daily press at. Detroit. Buffalo. St.
Louis. Washington. Philadelphia.
etc.. and they are achievelng s ro-
mnrkably high average of success.
Chlorine treatment is given to many
water supplies. some of which re-
ceive no other treatment. More than
thirty million Americans use chlori~
noted water daily. most of whom
have no knowledge of the fact.
Sanitation progresses along many
lines. Almost all unitary improve-
ments interact on each other and
on other improvements that are
related.
The improvement of rivers and
harbors. the introduction of canals
for shipping. the widening. deepen.
ing and otherwise improving of ex-
isting canals and the waterways. are
all related to sanitation and must be
taken into account among its prob-
lems. Often the improvement of
waterways makes the other unitary
provisions ices costly and are advan-
tageous not only to commerce but
also to health. The cost of sewage
treatment can usually be reduced by
providing greater volume of flow
and better channels in the watcr~
ways into which the final effluent.

Water purification for domestic
use has been undertaken for many
years. The most important meth-
od used in ancient times appears to
have been storage. but filtration in
various forms was resorted to even
in very early times. The Chinese
used sulphate of alumina as s coag-
uicnt and filtered the water thus
treated through fabrics and even
through sand at a very remote per-
led.
in England the first large filter
for municipal purpose was con-
structed in London and put into op-
eration in 1829. The Asiatic chol-
era epldemlc of 1849 caused the en-
tire supply of London to be filtered
with excellent results. But it was

ter part of the nineteenth century.

greater extent than is usually found
in a. potable water. It is also relat-

Sewage practically cannot be puri-
fied to any such extent by any re.
liable process. No public water
supply can be adequately pi‘rcted
(or drinking purposes by the puri-
fication of sewage it this is per-
mitted to flow into it. Sewage
treatment will not protect the
stream so that it may be used safe-
ly. and if it must be used as a water
supply. the water should be both
treated and sterilized by the most
proficient means possible. Jn view
of those facts it. is unwise to waste
money on. refined treatment of the
sewage. beyondthe point necessary
as o preliminary to water purifica-
tion in the water treatment plant.
More money should be spent on wa-
ter treatment in such a case and
less on sewage treatment. going only

conditions in the stream demand.

Object of Sewage Treatment
Sewage is the water supply after
it has been used and consists of wu-
tor carrying various impurities and
bacteria. It is customary to scale
the impurities against one million
parts of the sewage. thus the state-
ment is made in parts per million.
On the scale of parts per million.
American sewage: average about
too parts of total solid matter to
1.000.000 parts of sense: that is
800 pounds of solids contained in
1.000.000 bounds of water.
Of the 800 parts of solids. about
bolt is mineral matter and half is
organic.
