The regular monthly meeting of the natural histiry section of tho Long Island Historical Society was held, last evening, in the rooms on the oornor of Court and Joralcmon Btrocts. Mr. E.

Lewis occupied the chair and there were about a doz people proseut. The storm iept many peoplo away that otherwise would have boon in attendance. The feature i of the evening was a paper by Rev. E. 13.

Snowdon, on tba Sandwich Islands and tho Volcano Kilauea. Mr. Snow den was a resident of tho islands for some time and had ample opportunities to study the peoplo and tho natural feat uros of that marvelous group. Ho spoke for an hour and was listened to with great interest. He illustrated hia lecture with a number of lava speci ART NOTES.

Shork Brothors have recently placed on exhibition in their gallery two small Turkish Interiors, by F. A. Bridgman, One is called. "To Be Married." A young Turkish girl is sitting upon a divan, with an open window behind her, through which the light falls upon her rich costume. Tho troatment of bor drapery is one of the chief beauties of the work.

The texturo of tho materials introduood in hor dress is ably brought out and tho harmouy of color in the picture is almost perfection. The drawing of tho figure is mastorly and a groat improvement on many of Bridgmaa's past works. From this picture and its oompanlon, now at Sherk's, one is led to believe that Bridgman is gotilng away from his great master, Gc rome, and painting in a far more original style, Thoro is more boldness of touch abont these pictures than we have been used to in this artist's works, and far more warmth and "feeling, two qualities an artist finds it very hard to obtain so long afi he follows rigidly in the footsteps of a master. The companion picture to To Bo Married" is called "The Siesta." A Turkish girl is lying on a rioh silken divan, asleep. This picture is also overflowing with color and the pope of the figure is full of voluptuous grace.

They hare recently raceived at Berwiu'a art store, on Fulton street, two beautiful cabinet figure pictures by Ludwig Blumc, tho painter of tho excellaot pictura entitled "The Bowling Alley," oxbibited at the lata exhibition of the Art Association. Those little ema only add to tho evidonoe that Blame is one of the finest artists we have either in Brooklyn or Now York. They aro vory carefully treated, and at the same time tho personification of tlrongth both in drawing and color. Berwin has also recently received a beautiful landscape, by Herbert BIcCord, full of dreamy sontiment and vory true to nature. S.

S. Carr's exhibition picture "For My Teacher," has been hung in Sherk's gallery, where it is attracting a groat deal of attention. Carr certainly one of the most promising of the younger local arlislB, and this la3t work of hiB should be studied by all interested in the progress of art In Brooklyn. Professor Boyls al his studio, in tho Institute Building, has recently finished a beautiful ideal head, painted on porcelain. The face is that of a bright little maiden of some four or fivo years of aje, with great dreamy eyes, and a rich healthy color in the cheeks.

The work, in fact, is a masterpiece of its kind, both in tone and composition. The Professor's classes iu drawing are projressiug famously this' season, the night schools, as well as the day classes, being very largely attendod. Scsuusptlon am Eniit'O Suc cess Tlaus Fair.

Of the $19:1,000 paid Into the Custom Homo yosterduy for duties, J102.000 wore in legal tenders, and this proportion will doubtless be increased.

Tbo Board of Health lias sabmitted its annual report to tho Mayor of tho city. The document gives a detailed report of the operations of the Board to the first of Docomber, 187a one month The report wilt bo found of great interest, ia that It gives rovitw of the sanitary condition of tho city for tbo past jnr. One fact will attract attention, and that is that there has not been a case of smallpox in tha city lor a year and a half. There has beou a very Rreat reduction in the numb of casea of scarlet fever and diphthtna. And attention is called to the mens used iu thi public schools to prevent and a city ordinance is asked for to over the lack of action on the part of the Board of Education.

Tho great reduction iu the number of caes and deaths from scarlet lover and diphtheiiu, has resulceU from the oarneat work of our inspectors. Ho far as it has been ppiblo, every caap of tUonij dihsaaea reported from tenement bouses, ivhvie the condition of the apartment oecupi by th latuily of the patieut has been stated to be mriamury by the phyioiuu.

Owing to tho absonce of counsel to lepreeont the pcplo, the cae was adjourned until two oVloea in tlio afternoon.

SI'KCIAL. OFFICERS. Last evening the Police Commissioners of New Lots tool; into consideration the changes which had been made against Special Ofil.ier Dickrnson by Spacial Deputy Sheriff Seurcfedur, who cou. plained that he bad been arroste.l for buig ary by Spealal Officer Dickeruson.who was so di at the time that ha hardly know the difference between a mauandatree box. These charges were indignantly denied by Special OQleer Dickernson.aud the aots as elicited by the CommisMoners wore, that Dickernaon had been attending the dor.r of a bal: room during the night.

In that tim he had only taken two classes of beer. On his way homo bo met SaUroedor oatrying a bundle under his arm. Ha oaked him what it was and received au evasive tmawor, by a number uf expietives more forcible than nice. lie took Schroedor into custody. It was afterward ascertained thut he had two hoads of cabbage, and he told an officer at the deBk that a farmer had givon them to him.

On this statement he was allowed to go. When testifying he said ho found them. This contradiction and his having refused to answer the spooial officer when askod where he obtained tho package, the Commissioners held to be suftloieut cause for arrest, and the case was dismissed. DRAMATIO AND 3IUSICAL. Brooklyn ParK Theatre.

A lurge audience last oVeuing, in spite of the arctic woather, testified, to the fact that the Brooklyn pnbllo fully appreciates and liberally ropays such evident care and generosity as Colonel Sinn ha bestowed npou the production ot tho piece now playing at his popular house. Attention has already beeu callr to the perfectly Burnpiuous manner of tho mounting of this ptay, the elaborate dressing of the artists, ou I the meritorious performance of the parts. From the personation of ftli rfc St A ndre by Mr. Hardie down to tho least important role of tho drama thero Is so little room for improvement that one is fairly at a ion to miscu any. Colonel Sinn has given many brilliant performances tWs Beaeon, such as "Diplomacy," and others, but the representation of "Mather and Sou "may fairly take the palm for elegance of appointments, scrupulous exactness of detail and force and brilliancy of acting.

Th only complaint that could have been made oa Monday Digbt was as to Ihe length of several waits, but that disappeared on Tuesday ni jht.

and those who cannot obtain tha bsst Boats on Monday motnlng will find as simple a remedy in their hands as they had before by sending their complaints to the Eaolb. With the box office open for tho sale of good seats, no rational purchaser will think of going to a speculator or paying more for fctlokot than the box office price.

Mr. Snowden, who spoke in part as follows: THE ISOTTJEE. In Ins opening bo lirBt outlined his trip to Honolulu and the natural scouory which' first presents itself. There are twelve of tho islauds, several of them being I. The lavgest haB an aiea of about 4,000 square miles, or about the same area as the State of 0 The total ami of the islands is about G.0U0 Hiitiure mile.

They are all of volcanic origin, Tin: climate is so l.almy that there is no word in tho unlive language to indicate rain. Tha crater of Kilauea j.i large c. utinually actiro volcano in tho world, Honolulu or the homo of the Cjurt is the chief city, and having tha ouly really good harbor, is tho conli of trado and corcuu co. It is a beautiful toiin, with ratnral surrouiidings, such as only a neier endiug Summer can give. Life is very easy and luxurious, business is over by four o'clock in tuo ofiernnoii, and tho balance of tho day and ovening is devoted (o uncial pleasure and onjoyment.

Thoro is an ai ihtoeracy made up ot the of the old nativ' chiefs. Thy urass and live in tho European manner, and ate pusiOB.o'.l of contiuleramu intHigenoo and education. The lower ottGia ot the people have been improved by the e5brts of the missionaries and the contact with vtHzatioa, but they Btllt posscbs very many of their old characteristic; Tho chief food is "poa," a batter made irom the tora root. They live in grass cottaueH aud upend a great deal of time in the opeu air. Tlioy are a good humored, pleasure loving race.

Their language waB developed by the missionaries who invemod an alphabet for them. Everv word ends with a vowel, and tho lan guage has a pleasant musioal sound. The speaker spoilt a wool; In the Island of Mowi whore there ia an immense extinct crater which be visited asoond inir I he sides of the mountain In tho early morning. Tho orator is 8 uiilesMoug by 4 miles in hreadth and miios in eircumierence. its intoriur i uuimu with cones varying in height.

Tha entire City of Brooklyn could be accommodated within its area. It name in tho nativo language moons "House of the Suii." The volcano has not been aotive within the memory of man. JThe view from tho summit Is unique and grand. No words can describe th orim wilderness iuid deanla tion of tuo intt (or ot r.nn ninfnrn 2 nriior must have pr soutBd wheh it was lightod up with molten lava. From this island tha speaker went to Hilo on tho Island of Hawaii.

THE VOLCANO Or KILAUEA is a part of the Mouutain of Mauna Loa, whloh ia a rolcanio dome sixty mllos iu cireumferonoe and nearly three miles hiRh. The crater is on one aide of the mountain, and sinks down Into the earth about 1.UO0 foet. It Is an active voloano, and is the scBiio of constant and terrible activity. Mr. Snowden then described tho interior of the orator, uud told how thoy looked down iuto tho burning caverns whore the molten lava wa3 tossing and boiling.

Tho lava has a Cubncy to oongeal very oxposed to air, aud nonce assumes very many lantaatio aud strange forum. From one part of tho crater a stream of molten lava was slowly pouring out. The party walked over a portion of tha surface of tho congealed lavn, whero It waa still so hot that the soles of the boots of tho party were burned and their feet aimunt tcerch jd. Iu some parts of the crater cavorns wr re found that could bo entered without difficulty, ns Die lire had died out in them yoars ago. In them wei found very beautiful stalactites aud stalagmites, formed by the dripping of the molten lava.

Tho lava is different from thai of some other volcauos and allows various characteristics not found elsewhere in volcanic formations. The island is supposed to be honeycombed to its very t'nuudatious with tho volcanic cliunib. rs. Around the orator, and at a distance from It mysterious and dark abysses are found, which seem to go do. vii nit" the bmvoli or the earth.

In 1840 a flow oi' lava burst out from tho side of tho mountain and Bl.i eud out lo a width of TWO OB THREE MILES nnrt lifte.m feet thick. Ia eight months the lava had ilo I ouly on tha surface and at a distance of three i i. a could be set on lire. The lava river finally pf. ni il over the into the flea where tho contest of the elements was terrible and grand.

In tha neighborhood uf the crater there are Ussurt iu the i 'H i'riini which sulphurous steam escapes.

Speaking of the overflow of 1H40, the speaker Baid' .1 tho light of tho fiery waves of tr.e livei or lava was bo brilliant that print could be read tviih easo at midnight, and tho light could be seen at a distaneo of 100 lulies at sea.

Rectos Koblnsoil, Mrs. Iinura C. BSoltowaj and Others. Last evening a temperance meeting wa3 held iu the Lutheran Evangelical Church, on State ettoet, Rev. Mr.

Ifanitua, pastor. Considering the Inclement condition of the weather, there was a largo audience present, and much interest was manifested iu the proceedings. The meetiDg was under tho direction of Mr. Eccies Robiusou, who is prominently connected with tho temperance cause. Rev.

Mr. Ham nia occupied a seat on the platform, and excellent mu. sic was furnished on tho organ by a lady. Tho eervit js were commencjd with prayer. A hyinn was sung aud Mr.

Robiusou read selections from tho fifty fifth chapter of Isaiah. He than made a brief od dress, iu which ho said that since the conimencanient cf the temperance meetings ill the church not a word had been spoken at which any man could have taken offense. Tho plalforui of "charity toward all and nial irc tow.vd nono," iuaugurateJ seven years ago by Fraud Murphy, had boon upheld. Ever since tho speaker had been connected with tho temperance oause be had ncvor known any man's morals to have been impiovod by harsh measures. It was tho testimony ot beart that ought to be shown in every Chrisliau meeting, and it was through kind and cheering words that men fallen tbrougn driuk would bo brumal back to themBeivas.

This was tho universal toitiuionj tue Christian world to day. If law were passed looting it an offeuse to drink liiiu ir, mankind would not benefited. When a parent desired to accomplish w'ith his child, he did not staud over him with a rod'' If HARSH MEASURES ENHOROINCt TEMPRnAHOE were ptacticed on the young, they would seek tho saloon in after days. Every drinking man present had been asked to attend tho meeting for tho sake of himself and ids family, so that being he could sign the pledge an'J become acorivorted man. Under portali! circumstances a man had a right to drink liuuor but wheu every man in the country roalized the evil tendencies of strong irink and the homes rendered desolalo by its use, it would bs shunned.

Yoi It seemed hardly sBible tor a man to touch that which ho know for a positive fact had boen tho ruin of his next door neighbor. Some people consider it A weakness In a man in his not being able to touch liojior without drinking to excess. It was a weakness, but the speaker thanked God that for the past two years he hod been weak enough to lot liquor alone. If the whole human family were weak enough not to touch liqnor it would be better for the world. People should think of the thousands of children that wore starving with hunger and shivering with cold, beoause of the of fathers.

There were rnon present who had had tho manacles shaken from their hands, who had been saved from ruin, aud tho speaker would call upon nomo of them lo give tneir experiences. Mr. Jr 3. Stothoff said lhat he had been a drinking man for thirty je.trs, aud had not aeon his family for two years, although ho lived In tho same city as his family did. He thankedjeod that be jwas converted, aud on Sunday morning he would go home a reformed man.

A man named WernbErg said that Wednesday wa9 the first New Year's day that he had spent out of jail or tba hospital. Strong drink bad been his ruin, bat ho had now altered his ways and was converted. KEMAKKS BY MBS. LAURA O. HOLLOWAT.

Mrs. Laura C. Holloway was introduced by Mr. Robinson, who said that he rait proud to have such a valuable assistant in the tomperance causo. Mrs.

Holloway. after a few introductory remarka, said 'I do not know that there is anything new to be said about temperance, but I believe lhat every woman's voice ought lo be heard in behalf of the cause that i mches the hearts of the milllouB. I have seen tho young grew up to manhood and nothing seemed to nindflr their snflcess In life, until thoy touched the oup uJrJi lliai j. man, it is this of temperance, wbo are so ouraea by the evils of intemperance as women 1 Throe years ago when Francis Murphy came to Brooklyn I thought that there was no person who could feel so Indifferent to bis work as myBelf, and when he came to talk temperance, I asked him what he could say to those who were battling with tho disease In others, "Troat them kindly and try to lift them up," he said. His spirit made an impression upon mo and I tried it, and it Is only just that the cause be espouses, and which is bo ably seconded by Mr.

Robtnaon, hould have the poor seivloe which tho least among the advocates of this good work, oan give. In a recant publication in a Now York paper, I notica that during the past year tho greatest number of failures ware among the liqnor dealers. I am sorry lor tho men but glad for tnc cause. Yet it must bo so, beoausB the women of this country aro banded together against the use of liquor that which degrades our boys and takes from us our fathers and brothers. The women of this country are going to 60 plead with the dealers that there will bo no room in their souls to refuse their demands.

Lire moans something mora than seliiBhneBS. and HomsUuug must be BacnfUad fotf those we lovo. I speak oighl in order that it may beeeenthat thora are v. in Brooklyn who aro willing to do all in their power to aid the cause of tom norance. Mr.

Robinson, on behalf of those present, thanked Mrs. Holloway for ber kind romoris. Continuing, ho said "Eight millions of men have not pledged themselves to tompetance In tb.il country wllhcut affecting the liquor trade. I trust that eventually Iho liquor traffic will be so underrnSneri and tne cuiae of rum bo obliterated in this country tha Jails and almshouses will no longer have to bo kept open for those sent there through the effects of liquor." A young man, about eighteen yeaia of age, said that tie had been a drinkor and knew the erll offeots of Intoxicating liquors, but he had reformed, and ia the futuro would adhere strictly to the rules of temper Mora hymns wore sung, and after tha benediction by Rev. Mr.

Hamma, the assemblage dispersed. To night another meeting will be held and several prominent speakers will bo present, Mr. BoblnBon will preside. To morrow night Francis Mnrphy will bo In attendance, and on Bunday night Mrs. Laura O.

Holloway will be among the speakers. CIIUUCH OF THE ATONBliKST. A concert will be given this evening in the Church of the Atonement, Seventeenth slreet and Fifth avenue. Mr. George W.

John H. Cooks, at bis studio over Sherk's art rooms, on Fulton street, is hard at work on two good sized Vndscirpea with figures. One is ontitlod "Harvest Time." An old farmer has just entered his wheatiield, aud cradle in hand, he is looking about to see whorolt is best to commonco his first swath, while bis sons etand leaning over tho bars waiting to ba set to work. The entire scone is very truo to nature, and in subject, it is an entirely new departure for Mr, C.icks. The other work might well bo a companion picture to "Harvest Time." It ie called be Last Load." A regulation hay wagon, only about third full of bay.

Is being pulled along by a pair of jaded country horses, whilo a man aud woman walk by tho aide of tho load. twilight, and the last rays of tha sun liut UP the drifting olonds in the sky and tW a lln0 ot tloh color all along the horizon lh stands out in bold contrast to the sombro to" thl! foreground. Altogether tho twilight naa been vory pleasingly treated in this wnr lna together with the first picture mentioned, it may bo classed as some of the best work this artist has eo far attained to. Cooks will probably exhibit one of these pictures at the coming exhibition of tho National Academy of Design. James Northcote, who has a studio in the same budding with Cocks, has turned bis attention of late, with marked success, to drawing in pen and ink.

Ho has now a number of pleaBtng little landscapes in pen and Ink at his studio, aud also at Sherk's gallery. John A. Parker has a very seasonable pictura on exhibition at Knight's art rooms. It is quite a lnrgo WiDter scene, with some very finely treated snow in tho foreground, and a cold Winter sky just relieved by a dash of warmth along the horizon. Parker is evidently very foud of Winter scenes, and he is generally quite happy in his treatment of enow effects.

Ho has in fact, obtained an enviable reputation (or this sort of subject, and deservedly 80. C. C. MarKhaui announces that lie; will shortly have a sale of picturos at bis studio on Montague street. Tho works to be sold compriso a number of landscapes and figure pictures both in oil and water colors; a few by Markhani, but the majority by other artists, both foreign and American, gathered together by this remarkably enterprising gontlomau, oither for profit or.

amusement, or both. They compriso a very good example of the younger Bridgman, one or two good works painted in the Munich school, a ow landscapes by American artists of more or less note, and soma small works by himself, Mrs. Amelia F. Bakor, who will b9 remombered through her beautifully painted flower pieces at the late of tho Art Association, is now working on soin charming panel picturos of flowers. Sue stands at the head in this line of art, and hor works are fast gaining her tha reputation sho eo richly merits bolh by their truthfulness to nature and happiucjn of composition.

An exhibition and sale of pictures by local artists will shortly take placo at Berwiu's art rooms, on Fulton streol. Ariistis are reques.od lo send iu their pic tures at once. Berwiu'a art rooms, by the way, aro fad growing lo ba one of the chief art oeutres in ours city, thanks to tho enterprise and push of their proprietors, and both artists au'' art patrons are beginning to appreciate this fact. The exhibition of the Salamagundi Club will not ba hold this year uutil after that of the Water Color Society. Tho Society of Amorican Artists will probably hold their exhibition thlB year early in 1'obruary.

nearly me number of picturos exhibited by tho aociely last year aro already promised for it coming exhibition. The society now includes in its list of membership most of the prominent American artists abroad, aud contributions to tho next exhibition will be seut from London, Paris, Munich and Rome, which wbeu added to tnc homo ptotures will give a clear idea of tho piogreso lunau uy Amorican artists throughout tho worid. John U. Wiggins, at his studio in the YrJung Men's Christian Association Building in Now York, is working at odd times on a very interesting composition that ho intends to exhibit at the National Academy of Design this year. It is an Autumn effect, full of cold grays and the bleak atmosphere of early Winter.

I is very strongly painted and vigotona iu drawing. Wiggins is also working on a cattle pitas that he may also exhibit this year at the Academy of Design. MADAME ANDERSON. The Fcttostrleitne Steadily Xollltifr On Her Wearisome Way People CatcU Ing the Infection and WalUlnjr Wltb Slier On the Tracii. It seems to be getting quite the rago to walk with Madamo Anderson as ehe journeys on herwayt Ladies and children appear to take a curious delight in promenadiug Mozart Garden with tho pedestrienne and oven a number of prominent citizens seem to have become infatuated wilh the exorcise.

Last night the Garden was crowded as usual with a large number of enthusiaatia spectators. They came early and remained late During the evening the Madame was frequently accompanied by some oua from tha audience, and these little interludes, while tbey served to cheer ber epirlts, also very materially lightened the arduous labors of her faithful henchman, Mike Henry, who is now her constant companion from ten to twelve hours evory day. The fact Is Henry ia getting to be almost as much or a feature of the walk aa tho Madame ia herself, and the BpsctatOTB look for him as regularly. About 8 o'clock a Miss Mitchell, a female pedcBlrinnno from Now York, tried her mettle with Madame Andcrwn, with the objeot, ft is said, of gotliug up a match with u.r. Boon after Miss Mitchell loft the track Supervisor Zovne WM introduced to Madame Anderson, and walked laps with her.

Although apparently a fair walker ordinary circumstances tho Suparrisor soon discovered if n0 desired to proBervo his reputation as the charhioQ pe dostrlau of the Board of which he is an honored mu. ber, he would have to exert'hlmsolf to the top of his beat heel and toe speed in order to escape defeat. By a herculean effort at tba finish ha beat the Madame by a neok and shoulder and waB loudly cheered. Ex Judge Morris accompanied Madame Anderson in ber quarter at 9:45 o'clock, amid great enthusiasm, making the distance in 4:20. At 10 o'clock the pedestrienne started on her 410th milo in a very drowsy condition.

She fioundred around the track with heavy eyes and abstracted gait, and once or twice came very near falling. At midnight ber sleepy stnpor still ologged her footsteps, and he seemed to drag her. weary way along without the use of ber eyes, and only by tha sternest exercise of her indomitable will. Toward daylight, however, she rallied, and la looking bright and vigorous again to day. i WOULD BE SUICIDES.

A Man who Wanted to Rlafce a Stole in the East Stiver, and Anotner Who Would Hang If Hie Couldn't Drown. Two desperate attempts at suicide were made yesterday bath upon the East River terry boats. In one instance the would be suicide was a young man named Frank St. Clair, aged 35 years, and a clerk by opeupation. He took passage yesterday evening upon the boat Commodore Barney, on the Grand street Ferry, from the Brooklyn side.

When the boat was within one hundred yards of the New York side St. Clair jumped into tha river. A line was thrown to him and ha refused to take it. The tide swept him within a few feet of tho piers and he was hauled out and taken to the Attorney street, New York, Station House. When asked why he jumpBd into the river ho replied "he wanted to make a bole in it." While in the station bouse be attempted to hang himself with a shawl.

He was removed. Bellevuo Hospital. Another case was that of a well dressed man about 30 years old, who started out to cross the river on ono of th8 South Ferry boats. When well out In the streom ho attempted to jump overboard but was prevented by the deck hands, and when the boat reached the New York side ba was taken to the Newatreet Police Station House, where he gave his name aa John Smith, and Bild he was a law reporter. Letters were found ia his pocket addrossed to J.

Thoro hava been made to the department a largo number of complaints of defective houso uraina and plumbing, and 1,748 nuisances of this class have been inspected during the year, in addition to tho 1,041 examinations in houses from which coutatous diseases were reporwd. In nearly every instance these complaints have beeu well founded.

Hundreds of houses hare been found wheroin there cxistad no Impediment to the free flow of foul gases direct from the bowcc to tho living rooms, aud It In an evidence of the, comparative cleauliuess of our Bowers that the result of this condition of sairs has been no more disastrous to the health of our poople. It Is evident that fully two thirds of our dwellings are not properly Eroteotcdfromtueairofthe aawers, and a house to ouso visitation and thorough examln ation of all interior drams, closets and plumbing ivorll, more particularly iu teuemiut houses, would bo promotive of tno most beneficial results. Too awakeued Interest in sanitary matters taken by the pnbllo generally has led to a large nuuu her of applications on ths part of property owners to hive tho plumbing of their houses examined by tho txperts of IhlB department. Those demands, however, owing to the insii ciont numbor of Inspcctot. which (he Hoard is able to employ, aud the groat Increase iu tho other work of the department, could not 1)0 generally complied with.

in ninny new houses now belu erected tho nlum Ingand draioaga are inadequate in system and workmanship to render them safo for habitation after completion It 1b quite as important that thi. portion of a buildiug should be subject to the supervision of souio cotupeteut authority as tho walls, tho floor mi tbo roof. Under the existing laws, however, it tho plans of tho building are approved by the Departmeut of Fire aud Buildings and a penult Is ODUined from the Department of City Works to niake liowor and water oonnectious, the closots. sinks, traps, soil pipes, may bo constructed in any m.rmer, of material, and upon auv plan that may meet the fanoy ol any ignorant plumber or servo the purpose of, mi eoonom leal landlord. Wo, therefore, urgently recommend tha passage of a law requiring all plana for house drainage to be approved by the Board of Health, and the coustrnntion of all such drains under tho supervision of a proper lu Itispeotion.

THS ADULTEBATION OF FOOD. The limited amount of attontion which the Board has been able to devote to tins vory Important branch of sanitary investigation lus bee.n given principally to the examination of muk. Uver ono thousand te ta and analyses bavo been made of tma article of food. Tuero are over 400 milk producers and 2,827 milk dealers tn this olty. Theio have been licensed and thus broaght directly under the observation and control of the Board.

The time of one impostor is entirely devjted to an inspection of the stables aud cows and aaothor to the examination of milk, and as a reiult the quality of the milk sold in this cuy baa been vary greatiy improved, and the public health, mora especially ol children, corrosnoudiagly promoted. More recently examinations of other articles of food have been commenced which promise Important developments, and analyses hare been made of the pump water used in different sections of (ha city, some of which have resulted In proving the water so polluted with filth ss to endanger tbo health of thoso tiding it, and thesa pumps havo accordingly been filled. Tho careful examination of (he water in all the wells in tao city Is an orgeat sanitary necessity. Many of those have filthy surroundings while others receive a part of their woi supply through oontlgnouj cesspools and Tnlt. Nine cases or typhoid fever recently vonrrlng in one of iho outlying wards were "1 10 "tec, and milk from cans A pad een waahod in the water of a nniohbo' lfl9 water, upon hoing an al found Impure, and an examination of tho surroundings showed several old and offensive privy, vaults situated so near the woll as to supply It, undoubtedly, with portions of tholr poisonous, disease produoing oontcntB.

Further examinations of tho 3S8 wells of the city will no doubt show many similar cases. THB PBIVY VAULT NUISANCE. There are 25,405 pilvy vault, in Brooklyn. Although the ordinances require that all vaults on severed streets shall be water tight and connected with Ibe sewer, and inspection has shown that there aro In this city 14,288 Btill unconnected, and most of theBo are old fashioned leaking vaults from which tho night soil is constsntly flowing into the surrounding earth. Ths soil thus bo comma saturated with the privy vault filth, emits miss malic vapors which cause slcknea or various types.

Vaults of this description are rejarJed by unitarians the world oyer, as tha most dangerous or a city's nuisances. Thoy are relics of an uncivilized age, and It Is disgraceful that they have bsenso long our midst. Tha Board ia proceeding to enforce the ordinances in this rcspeol, and has already issued orders to Qli 3,570 vaults, under which 1,280 have been so far abolished. In the exoavatlon of night soil from the raniti, its transportation through tha streets and Its removal from the city, a improvement has bean offacted within the lost year. It ia now conveyed in air tight vessels Irom the vault to tho offal dock, and ih without exposm ra to tha air, pisoaa in Barges in waicn it is twrod to New Jersey.

TENKITBNT HOUSES. In addition to the work referred to, an Inspection of every tenoment houso in the city has been made. There ore 6,77 tenement houses (defined by law aa houses for four or more families living apart from each other) in Brooklyn, containing a population of 137,937, or noarly oae fourtu of the entlro population of tha city. A frequent Inspection of these houses would compel tha enforcement of many sanitary regulations that are now unobserved, aud thereby (and greatly to Increase the heslt'j of their occupants. am BrjLisaa bbvij.
