Fig. 56 gives a section of his drain-pipe, with a metal orwire shelf in the same so contrived as to separate the solid from theliquid sewage. I have been unable to obtain any information respect-ing the working of these pipes. I greatly doubt their success. JOi^es Used in Irrigation. 25 A very useful American combined bordering and drain tile forforming the borders of flower beds and edging walks is sketched atFig. 55a. It is known as Biehls patent, and the pattern should bepopular on this side the I will here describe the patent open channels and flanges of Doulton and Co., of Lambeth, which have been specially contrivedfor sewerage, irrigation, and for use in sewage farms. The channelsor gutters are of earthenware, and these are glazed, as it has beenfound that not only ditches and rough conduits of bricks, but alsounglazed material, harbour vegetable growths and impede the flow ofthe liquids, not to mention the incessant labour of cleansing them out. These channels, are mostly semi-circular in section, as shown atFigs. 57 and 58, and are either socketed or butt-jointed, as may berequired. Situated along the sides are moulded coping pieces, casthollow to save material, and these are flanged as seen. The flangescan either be fixed the same height on both si
