AT the zenith of her grandeur Rome
had eleven district aIucducts, whose
aggregate discharge was equivalent to
Il stream twenty feet wide by six deep,
with II fall six times rs rapid as that OF
the River Thames. The daily supply
was in the proportion Of 332 gallons to
each inhabitant, and it was distributed
TO the palaces and humble dwellings, in
every part Of the city, as well as to
ihhuihcrable fountains, many public
wells and large reservoirs, to the num-
cr0u5 baths, and to several artificial
lakes, where the Enpcrors held their
naulnachioc, or sham naval battles
These eleven constituted the most ex-
tcnsivc and perfect system of aqueducts
that has been possessed by any city
even UP to the present time Their
combined length was over 300 miles.
| fifty OF which were above ground, either
upon low substructurcs or more impos.
ing arcades. The loftiest arcade was
that belonging to the Aqua Claudia
and the Anio Novus; it was in one
place 1o9 feet high.

THE MAZARfNE BIBLE.
From the Hartford Current,


At the meeting of the Connecticut
Historical Society in Hartford, the
chief interest gathered about the ex-
hibition of one Of the rarest aud most
valuable books in the world, DIR.
Trumbuil brought out the Mazarine
Bible, belonging to the collection of the
late George Brinlcy. This is one of
the only two in America, and their are
only six in the world. 1t was printed
III 1l55. Two years ago two copies
were sold ut auction in the same sale,
ana one, printed upon paper, brought
Sff, 900, gold; the other, on vcIlum.
brought s'2O, 1000, gold. Usually vel
lun copy of any work brings four or
five times as much as Il paper one
but the history OF the NIazarine Bible
raises the value of the paper copies re-
lttiVcly to those on Vcllum. Gutten-
burg printed the first copies in 1850,
and all those were on paper; in l456
Faust got possession of the types, and
his edition was partly on veIIum.
Those consequently, arc not so COM
pietely storiginal."
The BrinIey copy is on papcr-one of
the genuine Gutenburs prints--and is II
marvel of the printers work. Its equal
could not be made to-day. The ink,
though 400 years old and more, ia as
distinct as ink could be, and tho paper
is still white and clear. The "register''
is perfect, and the appearance of the
page far surpasscs that of the best mod
ern books. The work is printed in
Latin, with Il number of curious con-
tract symbols in the text, used to space
the lines evenly. Three different ways
of the letter S--broad, moderate width
ana nafrnW-are examples OF the care
taken in such respects. This volume
was probably bound about Il hundred
years after printing, and must have
been hidden away for centuries in
some montstry. The Mazarinc Bible
was the first book printed with nova
bic type.
