Sewage Irrigation of Paris Expands Across 1500 Acres
Paris plans to irrigate Gennevilliers peninsula with 1.43 thousand acres of land using the city sewer effluent. Announced flow totals about 18 million cubic meters yearly, delivering roughly 3,000,000 gallons per acre, with beets and crops yielding rents rising to $83 per acre. Engineers target up to 10,000 acres to purify Paris sewage, seeking new land near Acherss and Saint Germain as area fills.

Managers Their Own Cos
A New York Sun excerpt reports theatre managers now produce their own costumes to cut costs. They hire seamstresses at $1 a day, buy wholesale goods, and design costumes in house to fit each performer, citing Union Square theatre as a model for next year. The other note describes a bog dug canoe find in Sweden with a six foot toad and a log from which the wood was blue and extremely hard, making transport heavy.
