of new living fence. formed by planting
young trees in slanting position, every

viii cross each other, and then at The part
which come in contact, take off from each
a piece of bark and tie close together, COW
sriug the part with clay. This'grafts each
tree into It's neighbor, and forms in few
years living fence, with diamond-shape
openings. The plan is an excellent one
for ornamental fences.

duct, from Manhattan Valley to Clendennng Valley,
the above drawing presents five different portions OF
the work, marked A. b. G. ID. Il. which may thus
be explained The drawing A. is a section Of the
stone work supporting the aqueduct across Glen
denning Valley, the height of the work TO the top
OF the arch Of the aqueduct, is about 80 feet; the
width OF the grade line at the base OF the aqueduc
arch, or the inverted arch 20 feet; from thispont
the stone work is formed, battering downwards on
a scale of an inch TO foot. This work Is formed
of large pieces of stone laid together without &C.
ment, except the outside, which presents the APP
pearance of well-hammered stone masonry; similar
in its character to the external appearance OF the
church OF the Messiah, only the blocks Of stone are
larger than those Of that building.

ton, we have chamber containing small reser-
voir, horizontal view OF which is seen at E. From
this chamber or small reservoir proceed four iron
pipes, which, almost Immediately after leaving the
same, begin to descend gradually until the greatest
depression of pipe reaches 100 feet, which occurs
exactly in the centre of the valley. The whole of
this distance about 400 feet at least that is The
length ofppe that Is TO be employed. Such is the
nature OF the work where the aqueduc crosses Man
haitian valley.
After this, however, we see little or nothing of it,
for the whole length of entire section for the in
slant It emerges from the last chamber, it enters
mixed earth, brick, and rock tunnel 700 feet long,
which terminates about the centre OF section 92
Alter this the only thing visible for about 1000 feet
~ a low, shapeess mound, ridge of earth, mark
Ing the course OF the squeduct, until we come to
about the centre Of section 49, where il again en-
tiers another tunnel, from which it energies only to
be seen in the raised work at crossing Ccndenuing
valley, as depicted on the extreme right OF the up
per part Of the above section. The raised arched
work this part Of the aqueduct extends 500 feet,
and crosses six streets.
The syphon here employed is the largest that ever
was constructed in any part OF the world The only
syphon at present in existence that can be compar
ed with that OF the Croton, is the one now in use
near Genoa, which extends distance OF about
1900 feet and has been built within the last 100
years 1t has usually been supposed, and by some
writers very confidently stated, that the Romans
were totally ignorant of the mode OF conveying
water by means of SYMPTOMS, or tunnels. That they
knew the use OF syphons sproved by this passage IN
fliny, 81, IS 81. "Aqua in vel rumbo sublt altI-
tudinem exortus sui" water in leaden pipes
uses to the height Of its source.) But the fact is,
nat although they made frequent use of pipes (fis-
tuia) IN conveying water, yet no pipes would have
supported the weight of water conveyed to the city
by the Roman aqueducts. But we have still bet
ter proof than this. The X oman aqueduct that was
bullt TO carry water TO Lyons, in France (the an
cient Lugdunum) had syphon in part of it's course
Near to st Irene, on the heights there was pl ced
large reservoir; hence the waters flowed in eade
pipes, which descended into the fosse of ST Irene
and passing along the bottom of it, rose again. and
emptied themselves into a reservoir built near I

The Croton Aqueduct

Who was the first man that built, or caused an
aqueduct to be built, it is difficult 10 say But II
King Solomon was the founder OF Palmyra, or Tad
NOR in the Desert then he built the first aque1uct
for the ruins of several noble aqueducts built OF ne
hewn stone arches, 100 feet high and9 ieet span
are shown 10 this day. Next to this we lnd hinl
Hezekah in the book of Second Chronicles, the 32t
chapter, and verses 8, 4 and 80, mentioned as haw
ing built an aqueduct OF less magnitude, but In some
respects similar TO the Croton.
II has been stated that Sesostrs, in Egypt, anC
Semiramls, in Babylon, erected acqueducts. II
thew did they were the earliest builders OF them, fol
these monarchs come thus in the order of then
date:-
semiramis the First, of Babylon, 2,oo7 B. C.
semiramis the Second, OF Babylon, LAO I"
Sesostris, oil Egypt, i,SUS "
Solomon, Of Jerusalem, l03s
Hezskiah, I2o
Lempriere says of Queen Semiramis the First, to
render roads passable, and communications easy,
she followed mountains and filled up valleys, and
water was conveyed at great expense by large
and convenient acqueducis, barren deserts and
frequented plains; but his account of her is also
mixed up with much fable She lived about 20OO
wears before Christ. OF Sesosris, the same author
says. that he had canals dug near Memphis, bu'
but gives not even the date of his existence.
But we have really accurate statements that
any of the above built water course before Heze-
kiah, in relation to whom we have the name of the
whose water he brought In an aqueduct to Je-
rusalem With regard to the antiquity OF aque-
ducts in Greece, we may state that Herodotus I'm.
COY speaks of something resembling an aqueduct
which brought water from hill 300 Greek feet
high, to supply the city of Samos with water. 1t
also appears that there was tunnel through this
hill 200 feet long (seven stada), eight feet high,
and eight feet wide and In this tunnel there was
cut second channel 30 feet deep and 3 feet wide,
through which the water was conveyed in pipes to
the city; the Greek word the original (soton) may
mean only channel OF stones, or II may mean me-
taic or wooden pipes.
With this simple statement, then, OF all that is
known or conjectured In relation TO The origin OF
aquedac s, we will here mention the principal an
Gent and modern aqueducls by name, &c.
