. Notes on the yellow fever epidemic at Hickman, Ky., during the summer and autumn of 1878. implicity. The excrement from bothsystems, when removed, is composted into a marketable manure. Thethird plate represents a closet in use in the United States.

The addition of a very small amount of drypowdered loam will instantly absorb all unpleasant odors in a privy ontop of the ground. This same effect could be produced in the pails, if drainage from the bottom of the pail be provided, so that the con-tents be kept as dry as possible. By draining around the closet, sothat the earth under it be kept dry, the liquid from the pail will beabsorbed. The earth underneath might be removed for several inchesin depth once a year, and replaced by fresh earth. The superior properties of dry earth as an absorbent and disinfectanthave been abundantly demonstrated. The loam of the Loess from the YELLOW FEVER IN KENTUCKY. 27.
