The idea s that by .cleansing them in water that s used over, and over there is a good hance for the transmission of dis ase. Inspectors are always on their ounds seeing that the law is observ d, and woe to the man who is found derelict in its observance. Buenos .yres, by the 'way, ~is kept as clean as any city in the United States, and is one of the most progressive towns in th-e world. "When i man dies down there it does not matter .whether 'he made a wvill disposing of his property or not. This law of the country comes into play, and divides all his possessionls equally among his heirs. Not one of t~hem can be disinherited. One good efect of this is to do away witih big landed estates.
