There are two wayB of deriving profit from sewage: - Onev Is oy the application . of sewage "to land, -ass'or instance, '-is done in Pullman, - IllaTi-'or .: from treat ment by chemicals processesr- Precedent for the first plan exl t in Great .Britain,- tbb more notable ones being -in Klinburgb and Doncaster; but from neither of theses could the commissioners derive, sufficient encour agement to. infer i that the pumping and other expenses would not cancL all of the, possible profitv The' socondv plan vi9 re garded ast yet z more? unfavorably, for; the "available material value "of the sewage Is at present t5o small to admit xf obteiuing from it any product which ear- be ' sold at. dny thing like the cast of its production." 1 . GWith reference to the rfarns for the traat- - ment of tbe metropolitan" sey.age, four possi- me scaemes -ore presented, ana analyzed. These are broad irrigation, filtration through land, processes of deposition or precipitation. and precipitation supplemented by applica tion to land.1: "The testimony 4 seems -to b,e quite, decisive 'and uhiform that-for every .100 persons rone; aero, would bo needed In broad irrigation, and.that tbe sewage should oe strained or purified before" permitted to unally pasa upon the surf ace rt the land. When it is remembered that 40,000 acres are equal jo about : sixty-two Iquare muos.the tm practicability of this Echeme is apparent. for no such farming area can be found In the neighborhood of London, -v.-," i KJ.U9 uiBLuou wnica meets wisu tnegreaies ravor rrom toe commission is the lo3t one mentioned. '.ITiO chief advantage b that the sewage ; ia ; thereby much more - thoroughly deprived .ofits noxion- qualities Ti e pro- cess ' is round in actual uo m litrmmgaam; and is described &3 follows: -"The eewa-re is treated with lime an I allowed to deport ib .tones 01 large tanus; tne ciannaa liquid is then passed - through porou - land, after which it runs - into - toe riyerlH eing found t perfectly innnennu-.
