Many Odors and Germs May Be Dis
pensed With by Their Use.
Ex-President Roosevelt's farmers'
commission, appointed for the purpose
of investigating and reporting upon the
conditions of the great farming indus
try of our country, found that one of
the greatest disadvantages the farming
community has to contend with, owing
to the absence of proper sewerage, was
the unsanitary conditions Surrounding
the homes.
Now this same condition prevails not
only upon the farm but also in small
towns and suburbs of cities where there
are no sewers or water works, and
where the people have to depend upon
wells for their water supply.
Usually these homes have a well at
the rear of the house, near the kitchen
door. A few feet further will probab
ly be an old style toilet, standing over
an unwalled vault dug a few feet into
the ground. The greasy waters and
slops from the kitchen are either con
veyed by a pipe from the sink to a ho e
in the ground, or empited into the back
yard to putrify and from which the
swarms of flies, attracted by the ob
noxious oders from this decaying mass
on the ground and in the toilet, carry
disease and death into the house, as
bees carry pollen from flower to flower.
In the winter seasons we do not have
the germ carrying flies to pollute our
food, but we have an agent equally as
cad in the rains, which saturate the
earth and carry the seepage from these
polluted places down through the
ground, uniting with and constantly
contaminating the well water with ty
phoid and other germs.
All of these dangers can be overcome
at a comparatively small expense by
the installation of a properly designed
and constructed septic tank, with a
glazed vetrified sewerage system con
necting the house and toilet with the
same. The tank being practically
buried in the ground and hermatically
sealed, with the inlet and outlet pipes j
ueneatn ine water, mere can be no
oders escape from it. Even the water
from the outlet, or overflow, of ths
tank is clear, odorless and germless,
all of which are owing to the fact that
the specific gravity of all vegetable
and animal matter entering the tank
w th its cerms, odors, etc., cause it to
iloat to the surface of the water, which
is always maintained at a considerable
distance above the overflow. Here it
floats undisturbed while in it certain
microbes develop which devour and de
stroy it. A system of this kind can be
put in without investing in high priced
plumbing goods or the services of
plumber, as it is constructed principal
ly of concrete" and sewer piping. Any
handy man should be able to install it,
If a septic tank system was properly
installed at such places as described in
this article, those homes would be as
sanitary as a home in the city.

huu even luirteen. certain among
them have, besides, a numlier of bam

These varieties are distinguished by
different names. Thus a whistle with
one mouthpiece and ten tubes is called
"the eleven eyed one."
The explanation of the practice of
this quaint custom which the Chinese
offer is not very satisfactory. Accord
ing to them these whistles are Intended
to keep the flock together and to pro
tect the pigeons from attacks of birds
of prey. There seems, however, little
reason to believe that a hungry hawk
could be induced by this innocent mu

appetite, and this doubtless suvors of
an afterthought which came up long
after the introduction of this usage
through the attempt to give a rational
and practical interpretation of some
thing that has no rational origin what
ever, for it is not the pigeon that prof
its from this practice, but merely the
human ear, which feasts on the wind

pleasure from this music.

CHINA'S WHISTLING PIGEONS.
to
Mnalcal Instruments Attached
Tail of Flylnjr Birds.
One of the most curious expressions
of emotional life is the application of
whistles to a flock of pigeons. These
whistles, very light, weighing but a
few drams, are attached to the tails
of young pigeons soon after their birth
by means or nne copper wire, so that
when the birds fly the wind blowing
through the whistles sets them vibrat
ing and thus produces an open air con
cert, for the instruments in one and
the same flock are tuned differently.
On a serene day in Pekiu, where these
instruments are manufactured with
great cleverness and Ingenuity, it is
possible to enjoy this aerial music
while sitting in one's room, says the
Scientific American.
There are two. distinct types of whis
tles those consisting of bamboo tubes
placed side by side, and a type based
on the principle of tubes attached to a
gourd body or wind chest They are
lacquered In yellow, brown, red and
black, to protect the material from the
The Nose.
The nose, the most conspicuous fea
ture of the human face, has always
been regarded with great interest from
an esthetic point of view, but it U
within a comparatively recent period
that its importance in the matter ol
health has been recognized. .
Its external configuration goes far tc
make, or mar beauty of feature, and
considered from the point of view ol
health, its internal conformation is ol
even more .significance.
The inside of the nose is divided in
to two compartments by a thin plate ol
bone and cartilage, called the septum
The outer wall of each of these cavities
has three projecting ledges, formed ol
curved plates of bone covered with
loose membrane containing a grea.
number of blood-vessels. ' Opening intc
the nasal cavity on each- side are sev
eral hollow spaces in the bones of tht
face, all lined with mucous membrane
and containing air.
The nerves of smell are located in
the mucous membrane which lines the
nostrils, and when inflammation ol
the membrane occurs, as in a cold in
the head, this sense is more or less de
stroyed for the time being.
The most important function of the
nose is that of a breathing organ. The
curved plates of bone serve to increa&e
the surface covered with mucous mem
brane, so that the air in passing over
It is warmed and moistened, and so
rendered fit to enter ftie bronchial
tubes and lungs. It is also filtered and
freed from dust and from the many
disease-germs which it carries. The
dust and microbes are caught on the
moist surface, and are carried back tc
the entrance of the nostrils in a cur
rent caused by the constant downward
movement of microscopic hair-like pro
jections on the mucous membrane.
t This explains in part the evils that
result from mouth-breathing, for then
the air is neither warmed nor purl
hed, and on entering the bronchial
tubes it causes congestion. This In
turn lessens the resisting power, which
all mucous membranes possess, againsl
the action of disease-germs.
Catarrhal inflammation, diphtheria,
tuberculosis, and other respiratory dis
eases are much more likely to attack
those who, through habit or necessity,
breathe largely through the mouth.
Obstruction of one nostril, such as
occurs when the septum projects tc
one side or when there are tumors,
called polypi, or other swellings of the
mucous membrane, puts too much work
on the free nostril. Its membrane be
comes congested, and catarrh results.
This obstruction may be only tempo
rary and may right itself, but when it
Is permanent it Is necessary to remove
it by operation as a measure of protec
tion to the general heaitu.
