baltimore is constructing the Longest
tunnel in the country. When complet-
ed 1t will be seven miles long, circular
In shape and twelve feet in diameter
Five miles of the distance is very hard
rock, and the drilling is done by man
ual labor, power drills being impracti-
cable in such small space. The rest
of the wall will be bricked. Fifteen
shafts have been sunk. The cost is
estimated at s3, 100000; about 1.5O0

probably be completed in three years.
The object of the tunnel is to supply
the city with water, the present sup
ply having proven inadequate and Of
wretched quality.
