unely said jUt hero that even the dirtiest
at the great cities In America spends more
capita on street cleaning than the clean-
POt capia Itreet cennlng cean-
est city In gurope. The area at New York
Is greater than that of I'arls , but on the
other hand the population Is less. In Paris
the amount expended for keeping the streets
clean Is less than that spent In New York ,
where they are suffered to remain dirty. As

facts and observations are neb ot merely
local Import.
TiE WORK IN LONDON.
Now let us look briefly to the method that
Is pursued In I.mlon , which gets from the
smoke that does not blow away an Immense
amount at flh , the like of which wo do not
have to contend with In any American city
The Immense area ot London Is dlvldel Into
some forty parishes or vetrlcs , and one or
these , London City , Is the chief In point of

The headquarters at the city operations Is at
I.cU's wharf , on the south branch of the
Thames , just east of Waterloo bridge. This

refuse ! the ciy , and here Is on elaborate
plant , including the most improved appliances
for gathering and dealing wIth the waste and
fllth , ot the great network of streets The
, force employed consists of about & 0 men ,
women and chllren , There are about eighty
horses , seventy dust vans and water carts ,
besides carts for the removal of diseased
meats , dead animals and so forth. The va-
meal
riety at brooms , hand amid mechanical ,
scrapers , squecgces , and other tools suited
to all weathers and street conditons Is nearly
endless.

, i Time night brigade begins the work , which
1' couldn't be done In the day tme , at 8 o'cloclt
In the evening . Six hours later the van
guard at tw day section commences the
washing and sweeping of the twelve miles
. at main thoroughfare. At 5 a. m the regular
tiny work begins , during which all thl car-
rlngewnys In the city have to be swept nt
least once , In addition to being strewn with
sand or gravel. The carts for the removal
at sweepings and house dirt leave Lett's
wharf at G 'a. in. , and nt 7:30 : the boys who
are the skirmishers at' the great
street cleaning army divided Into
"A four compnnes : under the charge
ot Inspectors tenther over the four districts
t at the city. All street sprinklng Is done by
- the regular city force" lnd Is regulated to
meet the exact needs of time work. I Is reg-
ul ted1 on tit ( ' principle at aiding to remove
dirt , net at making Irremovable mud , as Is
the effect for the most part at street water-
erec American towns.
Ing In NeW York and other
Streits are also washed down from time hy-
Strets drnnts whenever necessary. In brief , the
application at water as n feature at street I
cleanIng Is made on a sciemitiflcniethod. _ i
conlng G a. m. to 9 n. m. the whole energy
at the force Is employed. After this the
n night brigade retires and the work gradually
retres
relaxes , for It has ben principally achieved.
At 4 p. m. the men and carts are at hOle
and an hour later the boys are back In
Houml'a ditch.
THE STREET ORDERLIES.
That London Ciy , tIme cleanest part ot the
metropolis , attains this distinction Is largely
metropols the work of tIme boys , the sereet
orderlies. These lads , who number about 1&0 ,
orderles.
armed with hand brush and scbop peculiarly
1 devIsed for the purpose , dart everywhere In
,
k and out through the ireas at horses and ve-
hicles. The luty of each Is to remove every
particle at dirt , especially horse droppings ,
In the area aulgnC to him before It has ben
ground by wheels. Dns at the street curb
receive the gatimerings I may be fancied
that time duty ot the street orderly Is no sinecure -
. ecure , and the marvel Is that these human
monkej's , aglo as they are , 10 not oftener
receive serious hurt. They do their work
' most erectualy , and the operation of the
system Is such as to make It Valuable for
general imitation . i .
Time orderlies at the London City street
cleaning service constitute an Importnnt re\-
ture of the servIce , for when thele boys
reach lanhood they are promoted to mon's
positions , and when they ! atalu old ago ,
after fnlhful service they are pensioned.
London , therefore , we see Is cleaned by
trained men , whose occuliaton In life It Is
to do this particular work. This Is surely
very different from the American system
by which time Incapables anll the Incol-
ptent employment . on the streets as

STREET CLEANING DSTICT OF PARIS .
For the purpose of street cleanIng the
' cIty ot Paris has ben dIvided Into ISO dls-
trlcta , called "ateitera. " Each ateler I pre-
sided over by an olcer known B a "can-
tOlnler , " ' 10 la held responsible for the
proper care of all time streets In his terrItory ,
' ' . '
.
There are employel In all these dIstricts
1,20 persons , including men , women and
children . But far the greater number oC
these only work a few hours a day on the
streS , taking that time from other occu-
patlons . In each district there Is a street
cleaning service antI a scavenger service.
The street cleaners sweep and wash the
streets and dispose of all the material which
cnn bo hushed through tie : sewers : the
scavengers take away what Is not eo disposed -
posed of , Insides al of the refuse and garbage
from the houses and the horse droppings ,
which are gathered In Paris as they are In
IAmlon. This scavenger work Is done by
contract , though the work of the contractor
Is strictly supervised by the cantonniers. I
used to bl that the street sweepings , the
garbage and the manure from the streets hal
a great value and contractors would hUy from
the city and sell agaIn at n proflt. nut this
Is no longer the case and Paris has to pay a
geol , rounll sum to get rid ot time refuse ,
Still much of It Is still used for fertlzl gal -
all at the horse droppIngs for Instnneobut
most of the housholl , waste Is burned. .
The main bOdy of street sweeping work 18
done hy sweeping machines , each dawn
by n single here , the work at hanl brooms
being only supplemnentary Summer nnl ,
winter the work begins nt 4 a. m. In aLl-
settle the
Vance Roes n watering machine to setlo
( lust , This 19 followed In narrow streets by
a single machine , In wider ones by two or
even three machines In succession , the fore I
mot one nearest the center of the street Such
n cavalcade : passing up ole able at n street
all the surface
amid back limo other sweep al
dirt and garbage Into the gutters on either
side , while a single man following flushes
directs nh but the bulkier
tIme guters atll Ilrects al buider
portions of the garbage Into time sewer openIng -
portons , situated at short Intervals between -
Ing
tween tIme h'drants. Such n cavalcade
does the work at n small army , its ench
machine Is supposed to perform what It
would take twelve mel to do. The regular
morning sweeping Is finished before 8:30 :
o'clock. In some regions the machines
make another tour at 4 o'clock In the after-
noon. But every street Is swept every
day anti every gut\er Is washed out twice
every day . When n gutter Is really washed
out In an Amerlcnn city It Is regarded ns
an event In the whole mielgimborhood .
In muimlition , to the official scavengers In
Paris there are thin chllonnlers , or rag Illck-
en. There are more tln 40,000 at these
In Paris. The gleanings that are time leglt-
mate shell at time chllonnler cover n wide
range of articles , time chief of which are
ohl paper ( ncluding books anti pasteboard ) ,
ropes anti thread , walling and cotton , rags
of all sorts , remnants of earthenware , horse
hair , human hair , horn , fragments at whale
hone cork , India rubber , bones , grease ,
old lenther and bread crtmsts.
There are purchasers for each class of
refusethere being In Paris fifty merchants
who lmandio nothing but old rags , and twenty
who purchase onlY scraps of paper. I has
been estimated that this great army of chlf-
fonnlcrs rescued from the refuse of Paris
material for which annually they receive
over $5,000,000. The work at these chlf-
fonnlers Is really at great .consequence to
11mm ) street cleaning problem and Is not men-
th'
tioned here merely because It Is a picturesque -
turesque adjunct to the scavenger work
which In Paris the contractors do.
STREET CLEANING IN VIENNA AND
BERLIN.
In Vlennn and In Berlin the street clenn-
Ing Is done very much as It Is In Paris ,
the cites being divided II Into small dis-
tricts and the streets being swept and
washed with wate Water Is used with
special generosity In Vlennn , which boasts
In even greater cleanliness thnn Paris
When n snow falls In Vlennn an army of
10,000 men Is put In the main thoroughfares -
fares , which are cleaned up with an nmaz-
log lulckness , and time snow dumpe Into
the Danube. But tim changes In temperature -
lure are not so quick In Vicuna as In many
other cites , and In some at the streets or
the city anl apt to bo sleighing for
many weeks nt I tme ,
The street cleaning work In London anl
Paris and the other great European cites
Is after al not In the least wonderful ,
though the results are such that when we
compare what Is done there with what Is
done nt home It seems that I must be so.
In those cite the pavements are properly
made In the first instance , and then they
are always kept In order. The street are
, swept thoroughly every clay and the gut-
ters are washed. So these gent cites
ere admirably clean. And the streets at
'
'any' ' American city can bo also kept Clean
'when ihey are hut In' the condition of those
at London and Paris and Vienna and Der-
In , anti when men are employed t sweep
and wash them because they know how
to do such things , and not because they
have voted In one way or another.

COPENnAG N , Jan 15.-Special ( Core-
sponlence at Time Bee-Wlthln ) limo last two
or three months thl ely of Copenhagen has
been an object oC considerable Interest to the
seafearlng natons at Europe For COllen-
hagen has crrle out n Shilenthld enterprise
by which , from being one of the most ex-
pensh'e ports of the Baltic , It Is likely to
lecome the cheapest as wel ns time most .
ular : and It Is with geol reason that time
Danesolnt with such pride to their new
free port.
Time Idea of crtatng a free port at Copeh-
hagen originated when time constructon of
time canal through Holstein , connecting the
BalIc with the North sea was begun Ith-
erto Copenhagen has been time chief trading
port at the Baltic , owing to Its unrivalled
posItion and its facilities for communicaton
with Sweden , FInland , Russia antI Prussia.
lut , naturally , If nnother entrance to the
Baltic be effected , Copenhagen woull lose
much IC not 10St ot Its trade , as the north
Germnn ports would then be easier of access.
However , having so excellent a situation , I
free port at the natural entrance to this In-
land sea cannot but greatly Increase the 1m-
prtnce at the city , by malting I the center
of the trade with western Europe and Amer-
icn . It Is Irmly believed that the merchants
oC the Baltic will be prompt to avail them-
selves 'at the advantages offered by n deep
and shelered harbor , almost entrely free
rrom leo In wlnttr , where they can stor
their goods for future export free of Iutr ,
witim only moderate warehouse dues No efforts -
e-
forts wi b spared to attract vessels to time
sPot , 111 It Is even thought possible that
transatlantic steamers will make COIenlagen
their terminus , leaving the local merchants
to carry their cargo farther on to time shallow
ports of Hussn : , Prussia and Sweden , thus
saving much tme and expense.
BEGINNING TIE WOHK.
I was In the session 1890,91 that the
Chambers hmassed I bill provlling for the I
establshment of n free port which was t be
regarle as foreign territory under state
supervision outside of the customs house
jurisdiction , no duties being leYled Inside of
Its bommrmdaries. The following spring , when
the bill hall become n IIW , work was com-
mencel under the direction at tIme Ilarbor
board , wIth govcrnment supervision and the
corstrlcton ha steadily progressed until the
opening of the free port was celebrated on
time 8th of November , 1894.
The Copenhagen harbor a mlnlstrnton has
constructel the basins , qunys and quay walls ,
bui the roads amid laid the paving , at n cost
of about $3,000,000 ; and tie Copenhagen Free
Port com pan ) ' has erected all the buildings ,
and machinery besides managing the whole I
concern. Time company has the right to' '
execute al sorts of work inside at the cus-
tOIS paling , and IIIOSCS n tariff for ware-
imotmaing which Is under government control ,
Issuing dock warrants for the gods stored.
The tonnage dues having been entirely done
away with and the port ' charges , which arc
reduced to one-half , being levied only when
the goods pass from the territory of the
free port over time Danish custom bounlary ,
the expenses oC the ship are limited to pilot-
age and whartage and these arc charged
according to a very moderte tariff . Time
procEeds are divided between the harbor
board and the conmpany .
The new tree port lies north of the old
harbor anti west of time Inner roads , covering
1 land and water area of 160 acres The
land area , comprising about ninety acres ,
was formerly under water , but has been
-
raised to seven or eight feet above the
ordinary level at the , fen by dredged materials
tram the basIns and channels. Time total
length of the qUaYs and quay walls Is 12,000
feet. The quay racing the Inner roadstead
Id about 3,000 feet In length. The water area
comprises three great basins , the norther
harbor , with I depth at about twenty-fire I
English feet : the middle basin , at a similar I
depth of water , and the large southern tree
harbor basin , with its two basins , thlrty-
one and twenty-seven feet deep , respec-
tively , the basin being divided Iy the mid-
die pier , 1,000 feet long , Into two parts , to
provide more quay room.
SIGHTS ALONG THE QUAY.
Walking along the broad , paved and
graveled road , time first buildIng to attract
one's ntenton Is the Central Electric staten ,
which _ furnishes all the power used on the
place to work time cranes , elevators , pumps ,
etc. , as well as to Illuminate the streets ,
quays and all the buildings. This Station'
staton'
has been establshed by the Algemeino
Electrlcltats Geselsehar at Berlin , which

reserved for Itself the right to purchase the
plant at wIll for n fixed nmount. All the
latest inventions In the domain at electricity
hove here been utilized and the machinery
Is the most perfect that can be produce
The Ges lschar has already laid over 3,000
meters at electrIc wires on the free port
territory.

the quays ot the fre3 harbor and to the
Itaton for the steam ferry to bo run between
Copenhagen and Mallno In Sweden , wo turn
to the middle pIer , whose chief attraction Is
the "silo" wareimouse . This structure Is 1GO
feet long jmy 100 feet wide , and Is divided
Into three prIncipal longitudinal apartments ,
at whIch the two lateral are fitted up ns a
general warehouse , wlt vaults , grpund floors
and six upper stories The Ilddh section Is
40 feet wide and two stories hl her th(1
the other two , with n double passage for
cars running lengthways through the buildIng -
Ing , and between the two lines of rails n
platform level with the bottom oC the cars
On the tel ) of these passages and on the
platform at the sale level as the floor of time
first story are placed time thirty-six "ilns. "
or bins for grain , In three rows. Each ot
these silos holds 0,000 Ions , and communl- ,
cates by shafts anti elevators with the lofts
and the other silos. Extra precautions against
fire have been taken In time construction of
this warehouse , the silo compartment beIng
separated from the lateral sections by wails
at lire-proof "heton , " the idea being that In
case or fire th ! two outside sections will
fall away from the middle one Into the water ,
leaving the silos Intact , protect by the
"beton , " The staircases are likewise In-
closed by walls of beton , anti In case at ex-
treme danger there Is at eacim end of time
building a staircase wlthmhmm mm fire-proof simaft ,
comnmnimnicizting witim eacim story by art iron
door. On time outside of time warehouse are
electric cranes for hoisting grain from time
vessels below into time silos ,
On time western side of time eastern pier
we notice two warehouses , ammo of two stories
amid time other of five stories , Time two-story
house , called "Sited I , " Is about 300 feet
by SO feet , and contains vauits , a ground
hoer , and an upper story , Timis aimed is dl-
vimhetl into two parts of eiual size , ammd each
of these rimaces is on time 'western front of
time btmildhng supplied with a double counterbalanced -
balanced lift , and on limo eastern front svithm
a comnmmmon lift. At each end of time btmilding
is a staircase leading botim to time vaults and
to an external roof-covered gallery , Time
gallery is on t level with time floor of time
first story and runs around time ends and time
eastern front of time building , tlmus affording
easy access to all parts of time upper story ,
witimout time necessity of Passing timroughm the
