    Provisional Marinos Inodorous Closet for Separating Excrement to be used as Manure. it may form tli6 lip of tlio urinG pan, which in this instance will be made sufficiently large to receive a vessel for the soil or solid excrement. The vessels may be withdrawn from the box either by first removing the open seat and lifting them out, or doors may be made in the side of the box to permit of their removal when required. When this closet is fitted in a 5 dwelling, it may be desirable to lead an air pipe from the box to an adjacent flue, and to cause a draft through the pipe by means of a gas jet or otherwise. In hotels and other large buildings where closets are required at different floors, it may be desirable, instead of having separate vessels for each, which 10 will require frequent removal, to connect such closets by means of vertical soil pipes with general pans placed at the basement, and by means of branch pipes leading to an air flue to draw off all the noxious gases from the soil pipes.
