Tlio ofTt'cfiial means of dcnlinj,' with this refuse is to Inirn it complctfly, 

 ropiilnriy, and H|)('i'dily. 'I'lif towns of iJcrbv, liteds, Itoltun, niucklturn, Hiitii'y, 

 l,ti('('8tcr, Jh-ndford, Hull, IJirltcnlicad, London, have ahfudy adojitid this mctliod

Olio of Ihest^ destructors in coiitimioiis use will destroy all the solid used 

 material of a popuhitiou of l'0,000, and they can thus bo -cattered all over the 

 (irea of a largo town. Thus the annoyance of collection and storage is reduced to 

 amininmm, as is also the very imjiortant item of cartage. 



In cheapness, simplicity, smalliies*i, convenience, and t Uicacy, it caimot bt; sur-

 wr it.s erection have already been received from the towna of IJatley, Bradford, 

 Leice.ster, IJirkenhead, and Richmond.
