gone to ohnroh ire hew tobkaqueduot it u thirty miles loaxand will cost about 815000000 toe new aqueduct which is to supply new york of tho tstsre witu water is a tunnel of thirty miles long cat through solid rock and large enough for the pisaage of a train of cars says the new york mail and ex- prti it will be completed at the end of the yeir and will give new york as nota ble a marvel of eosineering skill as the brooklyn bridge and will command with that vast structure the attention of scientific tourists and students for many years it ia not at all likely indeed that it will be ri valed in magnitude during the century or the next half it would surprise a good many people to know that at this very moment new yorks water supply is totally inadequate it ful fills the demands of furnishing house hotels and workshops with water but if a great coifl tgration were to suddenly visit the city and with the wind blowing steadily in the right direction the city would be swept as clean as were boston and cuicago the fire cemmissioners know and have known for some time of the inadequacy of the water supply and on more thaa one occasion they have found that their firemen have been un able to cope with the flumes and extlnquiah them as easily as might have been done if the supply of water had been greater tho new squeduot will remedy this evil and will give to gotham all the water that the present city needs with si ffioient force and power to extinguish any conflagration and it will in addition to that snpply all the needs for the coming great city in more ways than one this new t queduct is a very remarkable piece of work it is known of coarse by most people that all the water that comes into new york la from the crpton river but the big croton dam itself a marvelous work by no means retains all the water of that river to secure a full supply a systen of new dams has been de vised and is embraced in the new aqueduot cheme one of these sodom dam ia intend ed to catch and score the water of the east branch of the croton holding it for me when required the mascot dam takes the water above the level of the croton dam and stores it to bo fed to the lower or main reservoir as needed that work is now in progress this dam involves the expenditure of a vast sum of money ic is estimated that the land it will submerge alone will coat 10000000 u vill require a number of years to build it but when it ia completed new yorkers will have the satisfaction of knowing- that it is the greatest dam in the world the engineers who are at work upon this aqueduct are levelheaded men who will tell you if you ask them what they are doing that they are simply makintr a tunnel 30 miles in extent with a sectional area of 155 j feet this is room enough for an ordinary train of cars to pass through the squeduot as visitors to the city can see from the car window traveraea a broken country over lefty hills down deep valleys then diving in broad rivera and most of the way cat in solid rock the depth under the surface be ing 150 feet except whero it is carried under watarccurses it maintains a perfectly regular though slightly descending grade and will deliver its vast river of water at the highest elevation on manhattan hill giving a head for distribution whioh will carry it to the top of an eight atory build ing the work on the aqueduot was began in march 1885 and tde cost in money has been something like 12000000 it would be well indeed if thiswere all tho costbut as in all great engineering works there has been a very large saorfica of life and limb nearly- icomemhave paid the penalty of their lives and 150 more have been seriously wounded jm yijn h r 1 r i v lal r sffl h one of the most notable piecea of engineer ing work on the aqiednst is the crossing of the harlem river the old or present eque- duat crosses ort the high bridge at an ele vation of 120 feet above mean water p ithe new aqueduct however passes under the bed of the river at jaydepth of 225 feetpr nearly twice as far below the j vateras the present aqueduct is above it tha great depth is mubh more than waa originally con templated but is waa found neceaswy be- cause6f thei discovery of a fisaurefih atria rock underlying the river this fisenre was found to be twelve foet in width hear the bottom of the river but gradually harrowed until it was lost at the depth at which tho tunnel was finally located it may interest our readers farther to know that the tunnel is to be lined with brick from end to end and at the crossing of rivers is additionally strengthened by iron tubing it passes under the harlem in the form f an inverted siphon or letter v and will of course be babjeoted to immense strain at its ower angle but the engineers are doubling the thickness of the brick lining and by tho addition of the iron tubing already spoken of hope to meet the strain and make the tunnel solid and substantial another troublesome feature ot the aqueduot that the engineers encountered was a body of quick- aand a little distanco above the harlem river when struck it rau through the tunnel with suoh force and rapidity that the workmen buely eeoaped with their lives running at their utmost speed it filled the tunnel baok to the shaft and necessitated months of work to put it right again five hundred thousand dollar was expanded in seeking to overcome that troublesome en counter before the engineers were finally re lieved by the extra shaft when the brooklyn bridge was begun it was estimated that 7000 000 would com plete the work but 1500 000 wife finally expended how much this new iqueduoc is going to cost no one can tell it seems to be good for 3000000 more making the aggregate coat about 15000000 business morality franklin ky favorite among

seveneighths of the population are slaves some arabs have as many as 1000 and the number of these who count them by hundreds la not small the leu wealthy residents find the best possible employment

work enaoted from the slaves is lighter the slaves in zanzibar do not live in separate villagea as in the cameroona but masters and slaves form one household before most of the houses one sees a lazy laughing crowd of finely molded negresses they are the house slaves whose lot is not by any means very bard although the arab recognizes in the european a superior the negro very often has more
