How the Citizen Should Co-operate With the Department in Sanitary Work. Quite tended i large number of people at-lecture given by Dr. Thomas Darlington, the commissioner ot health, last night, in the Flatbush Congregational Dorchester road and East Eighteenth street. The talk was the iast in a course which has been given at the church during the winter, and Dr. Darlington had tor his subject "Modern Methods ot Fighting Disease," one on which he could speak' with authority.

The lecture was very interesting throughout and gave an "insight to the true conditions of the city and the steps which are taken to prevent the spread of disease and the general unhealthy and unsanitary conditions about the metropolis. Edward M. Bassett presided and introduced Dr. Darlington. The commissioner illustrated his talk with about two hundred striking stereopticon views which emphasized, better than words could tell, the different points which the commissioner was trying to bring out.

Dr. Darlington began with a general resume of the duties and powers of the Health Department and the office of commissioner. He told of the new office building of the department, which has been established in Brooklyn, and told of what the general unsanitary conditions of the city consist. He described the Unhealthy features of child labor, the breeding of oysters, the lodging houses and the milk supply. What the department is trying to-do in regard to the oyster supply will result in the practical purification of this source of food by next September.

The fruit and flsh sometimes are made unhealthy by improper methods in conveying such food to the people. The commissioner reviewed the conditions of lodging houses, stables, requirements of street cleaning, and told how the Health Department co-operates with that branch of the city government. The water supply also gives rise to unsanitary condi-tlons and the commissioner showed that filtration has lessened the death rate caused by typhoid fever. This filtration of water, 'accomplished not only by cleansing of watershed, but by a general sanitation of the water supply, will be a great aid checking the increase of contagious disease. The commissioner then paid attention to the new building of the Kingston Avenue Hospital.

At present the buildings for contagious diseases are overcrowded, and in many instances they are twice as many patients as beds. The commissioner, with the aid of lantern slides, showed the superior facilities for the manufacture of anti-toxin, to the use of which many deaths by disease have been prevented. Commissioner Darlington paid considerable attention to a discussion of the milk supply, and showed over seventy views on the -subject. There are at present, he said, seven links in the chain of milk supply, in place of one or two, which was the. case before attention of the city was given toi the matter.

First comes the dairy or farms where the milk is ob tained from the cows. Then the carting or milk to the creamery or milk stations is the next step followed-by the creamery sanitation, and the care of the milk on the railway cars. Then supervision is exercised on the carriage of milk about the city by milk dealers, the care of the milk in retail stores and finally the care of the milk in the household. Dr. Darlington told of what had been done in Flatbush when the crusade against milk began.

Seventeen places were put out of business in one week. The present system of milk inspection insures pure milk, and the commissioners of the department are continually on the lookout for any violation of the regulations gov-erinng proper sanitation. Dr. Darlington urged the citizens to cooperate with the department and with the city In insuring proper conditions for the maintenance of healthy conditions in the metropolis. The people should help out the department in every way possible and report cases where infractions of ordinary rules of sanitation are made.

If a man loves his neighborhood he will not allow, his child, who has a. contagious disease, jto-play in the street with other children, but will report the ease at once. He will not allow his cesspool to overflow so ffs to endanger the health of his neighbor. He -will not allow the smoke to come out of his chimney so as-to contribute to the discomfiture of his neighbor, nor will' he spit on the sidewalk or do anything else which will not in every way uphold the standards of sanitation and health, which are essential to the proper conduct of any city. Dr.

Darlington appealed to all to assist the department in its endeavors without be-' ing compelled by law to do so. Mr. Bassett expressed the sentiments of the audience present, when he thanked the commissioner for his interesting and instructive talk. TO SING "ROSE MAIDEN."

Work on the westerly heading of the Gowanus Canal flushing sewer, or tunnel, has now reached a point opposite 95 De-graw street. This was made evident yes terday by the bubKIng up of the com pressed air through the water on tna street at that point, which is about one-' fourth of the distance between Columbia and Van Brunt streets, the latter being the nearest thoroughfare to the Ea3t River.

Work on the excavation immediately at the bulkhead had to be abandoned yesterday because of the storm. This excavation extends from the northerly sidewalk of the street up to th wall of Dougherty's warehouse and for some distance up the street. A high board fence has been built across the street west of the line of Beach place, with a large gate for the passage of material and of trucks to and from ths Mallory line pier. A scaffolding of heavy timbers has been laid, in front of and alongside the warehouse and a pile driver set up on this, probably for the purpose of driving a line of shett piling around the excavation. The cables carrying the feed and telephone wires of the New; York Dock Company came in the way but these will be raised sufficiently to allow the work to progress.

The sewer break west of Columbia street Is still there, with two brake pumps at work to keep the leak down. BROOKLYN INVESTORS. (Special to the Eagle.)

BOSTON'S SUBWAYS.

Professor G. F. Swain Talks to Brooklyn Engineers About Them. At the Polytechnic Institute on Livingston street, last evening, Professor George F. Swain, vice president of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a member of the Boston Rapid Transit Commission, addressed the members of the Brooklyn Engineers Club.

His subject was "The Subway System of Boston." Ho spoke of the old Boston subway, built some years ago, explaining the various engineering difficulties encountered In construction and the methods used in overcoming them. He told of the new Boston tunnel running from Boston proper to East Boston, under Boston Harbor. This tunnel he likened to the one now in operation under the East River, the process of construction used being the same in both ca3es. He explained the difficulties In the construe' tion of this tunnel on land, broueht about by the narrowness and crookedness of the streets, in many cases private property being encroached upon. In this tunnel, unlike our New York one, there are no Island stations, all stations being on the side of tracks.

Since its. construction It has not been a startling success owing to the fact that East Boston is not a very thriving locality. He then told of the new Washington street subway now in course of construction. Work has been progressing on this since October, 1904, and it is soon to be opened. This subway is only 6,100 feet, long, but owing to the restrictions on construction the work has been slow.

The course of this subway is right through the busi ness district of Boston and is expected to relieve great congestion. A feature of this subway is its great ventilation system. There are two more subway routes now under consideration by the Transit Commission but no action will be taken for some time. Professor Swain's talk was illustrated by over 100 views of plans and scenes In interior. An excursion has been arranged for the club to take place on Saturday, May 16.

On that date a trip will be made to the Edison Portland Cement Company's plant at Stewardsville, N. J. Thomas A. Edison will accompany the party. AGED WOMAN'S SUDDEN DEATH.
