BOSTON, March 8.—The United States transport Fern, commanded by Lieutenant Commander George A Bicknell, which arrived here yesterday afternoon from Newport, whence she had arrived from Philadelphia, went- through ths most thrilling experience before reaching port. After sailing from Philadelphia about one week ago she encountered large fields of ice and heavy seas which disabled her so that she barely escaped foundering and was considerably delayed in making repairs.
She made a brief stay at the torpedo station at Newport, leaving that port for Boston Tuesday night. AYlien off Cape Cod. fire broke, out in the cabin and in a few minutes tiie captain's quarters were all flames Just beneath the cabin, within a few feet of the tire, were stored 400 pounds of .smokeless powder. The ship seemed doomed, but after hours of hard fighting the seamen suppressed the flames, and the damage, which will probably not exceed 000, was confined in the cabin.
Several of the crew were mo-e -n- ]"-:s hvrrneil. but none suffered seri "is injury. A h«avy sea was roiling a:\ 1 h'.trh winds blowing, which made -. he work doubly hr.

SANITARY CLEANLINESS.
The Ifculfli of 1 lie Community KnoiiTitreTod by Accumulation of Garbage. ___
111 a letter to tho St. Louis GlooeDemocrat W. M. Chauvenet speaks of tho history of garbage disposal as follows:
There is no more important question than that of grvrbago disposal confronting tho world today. It. is not only important now. bet always has been and ever will he: !:c?ice .strong and aggressive measures should be ad erred to compel the employment of every modern and scientific safeguard known.
Sanitary cleanliness must begin with this question, since every household is a producer, moro or less, of garbage, winch, if not speedily and promptly removed, will tend to produce and aggravate disease and thereby endanger tho health of such community. The subject is one which cannot 'no cast aside without serious contemplation. A condition fear another epidemic
exists, ami it mast bo fairly considered and met, mat if. should bo moro clearly understood by every proper minded ttnd public spirited vUix n.
Tho history of garbage disposal in largo cities is closely connected wit!i periods of pesti hmce and ravaging fevers from poisoned atmosphere. In Kuropo in fho middle ages refuse was dumped in the street or on tho premises, and no provisions of a, sanitary nature were considered. Tho plagues which followed in the wake of such unwise action depopulated whole districts, and tho garbage question remained unsolved. Tho idea of casting ail refuse info tho river and pure water streams would have seemed to these people more barbarous and was never entertained if thought of. In modern times Berlin, with its narrow, crowded streets and still more narrow alleys, tried the garbage farm method. Trenches were dug and tho green garbage buried in tho ground to ferment for many days while it polluted the atmosphere. It was then ascertained through that school of experience that the largo per cent of grease in city garbage made it utterly unfit for the purpose of fertilizing, ami that ii ruined tho land for production rather than benefited it.
Tho sewage farm is little if any better, for tho gradual accumulation of insoluble animal niafrer soon renders tho soil unproductive. For a long time London dumped her garbage in the Thames until ships were frequently stranded in the garbage reefs at the mouth of the river, and loud and long were tho complaints of seafaring men, who were compelled to pass at low tide this large mass of decomposing substance. Next they resorted to baling the garbage byfirst pressing out the water and then sending it to the sea to be dumped into the great ocean. This was soon followed by complaints from along tho Scottish coasts, where reefs &'c disfiguring and putrefying garbage were driven ashore, a menace to the dwellers along tho coast. Loudon, with all her experiments and experience, has by no means solved tho garbage question and is still floundering about from 0110 resource to another, each equally objectionable. Recently attempts at oxidation were made, but are as yet problematical and experimental. 1
