GUTTA PERCLIA WATER-PIPE.--A Gutta Perch
pipe of two and a half inches calibre, and 1,000 feet in length,
has been laid down for conveying the Croton water to Black-
well's Island, New York. The line extends from the foot of
Seventyninth-street to the island, the depth of the water
varying from thirty to seven feet. The engineer first ar-
ranged his pipe in one length upon the island, and formed a
line of thirty boats, well manned, across the river. He then
gave his order at the commencement of slack water, and the
end of the pipe was drawn across the river by men upon the
opposite shore, and was taken up by the men in the boats,
and one hundred and ten anchors, each weighing thirty-
two pounds, were attached to the pipe, being ten
feet apart. By word of command the men in the boats
lowered at each point to suit the inequalities in the bed of
the river, as ascertained by previous survey. This was all
accomplished in seven and one half minutes, without' acci-
dent. —New York Paper.
