named the exceptional system, for it takes care
OF the sewage, and let's the storm water take
care OF itself. Whenever in small towns an
open water-course is available, and old-fashioned
cutters intersecting the streets can be tolerated
TO convey the storm water to this natural chan
mel, the exceptional system has its proper appli-
cation. Wherever city is of sufficient import
ance TO justify the convenience of removing
storm water from the surface OF the streets, the
drains must be made of such size that the ordi-
nary dry-weather flow of sewers-the water
supply Of the city-can be taken into these
drains without any increase OF capacity, to-
gether with the storm water. 1t is not possible
TO compute their dimensions more closely, and,
if it We're, the difference in cost would be ab-
surdiy insignificant.
THE LITTLE HOLE FOR THE KITTEN" SYSTEM.
These sewer drains can be quite as well adapted
to the conveyance of sewage as are the small
pipes of the sO-called separate system. The sew
age can be afterwards diverted from these sewer
drains at any point. and separated from the
storm water whenever it is necessary. No addi-
tionai cost is required for making one system of
sewers serve this double purpose. 1t has even
been found better and cheaper in reconstructing
Old sewers to adapt them to the combined syS-
TEN, for the cost would have been the same to
make them storm sewers only and to this would
have been added the cost of separate system
for sewage. These patented systems are natur-
ally urged for any market that can BE- found for
them. and when personal interests obscure the
Judgment it is not strange that professional
opinion lends its influence. Similar hallucna-
tions have misled the wisest of men. 1t is re-
| lated of Sir Isaac Newton. that having pet cat
which was permitted to share the solitude of his
study, he had hole cut in the bottom of the
door to give her free entrance and exit. Missing
her from the udy for few days he was in
formed that tue trouble was-a kitten; and
starting suddenly from one Of those reveries to
which science owes 80 much, he exclaimed,
"Well, cut little hole for the kitten!"

storm as we have any record OF. The margin of
safety Increases with the size Of the sewer and
the quantity OF water carried. and therefore
with the relative Importance OF this considera-
ton.
1t is we'll known that as The area Of water
shed Increases, the proportion Of rainfall thereon
which will reach the sewers or water course
diminishes, because time. is required to get
there. and during that time absorption and evap-
Grafton are at work to dissipate the water.
Various formula have been proposed to give
the law governing this loss SO that sewers might
be proportioned to the areas which they are to
drain. They are necessarily empirical, and the
observed phenomena upon which they rest can
not possibly comprise all the conditions that will
be met with in practice. They serve. however.
to check the results Of such local assumptions as
are necessary in aling with any locality. That
of Mr.. Burkli Zeigler rests upon long and careful
observation:
equals into into the fourth root of divided

In which may be taken as the maximum depth
OF rainfall per hour to be expected, and q as the
corresponding depth per hour which will reach

sequals the general fall in feet per thousand feet
OF the watershed; equals the area of the water
she'd. applied to the four large sections of
boundary sewer with the assumption of max
fmum rainfall Of three inches per hour and a
co-eficient of rs adapted to the future condi-
ton of this area, it gives the following compare

And beyond this is a large factor Of safety, as
the full size of the sewer would carry, in emer-
gencies, double these quantities.

THE QUESTION OF DUPLICATE syvERs.
Boundary-street sewer is not intended to
carry sewage. For many years it will be fresh
water channel, and afterwards an overflow
sewer for the county when Washington extends
over it. All other sewers are designed to carry
both storm water and house drainage. No rea-
son obtains here for more than one system for
both. The separate system. requiring dupllcat
sewers, Is persistentlY urged Tor universal ap-
plication. As usually applied, 1t were better

FOLLY OF CONSTRUCTING SEWERS OF SMALL
CAPACITY.
The most prominent fact presented by the
table is the great discrepancy between the in
crease of cost and the increase Of capacity with
the increase In the size Of these sewers Taking
the two extremes, the twelve inch pipe and the
large circular sewer on Boundary street,
twenty-five feet In diameter, it Is seen that
while the cost of the large sewer is less than
fifty-One times that of the pipe the capacity OF
the one is nearly four thousand times that of the
other. From this point Ofview 1t seems folly to
construct sewer whose capacity to carry any
storms that may occur shall be at all doubtful
AS recently as the 5th OF August, 1873, a rain
fall OF inches in 40 minutes occurred here q
rate Of inches per hour. 1t ruptured the
largest main sewer Of Washington, the old
Tiber arch. For distance of 500 feet the brick
arch, IL inches in thickness and having q span
OF 80 feet, was lifted bodily and broken at the
launches and at the crown. Fortunately it fell
with the subsidlng water into place again, the
| fractured edges projecting halt way into the
sewer. The sectional area Of Tiber sewer is
here 22O square feet. If the arch had fallen in
and INSTRUCTED the water way torrent OF
5000 cubic feet per second would have been
thrown upon Pennsylvania avenue.
AL OF the sewers In this table are designed
to carry of two inches OF rainfall per hour from
the areas which they drain, when running quite
full Of water. All except the large circular sewer
of Boundary street (Nos "a to 81 are intended
to run full bore, when occasion requires. The
latter carries too large body Of water to be 80
treated, and is designed as a covered canal, the
storm water running only to the height OF
the spring line Of the arch.
With the foregoing assumption, the sewers OF
medium size may run at times quite full, and
those OF smaller size may run under q slight
head, being subjected at such times to an inter-
nal pressure which they are fitted to sustain.
The largest sizes will never BE- flled BY any such

After q time 1t would be necessary to perfect
this line by connecting the upper end Of the
reservoir directly with the Great Falls Of the
Potomac by combined tunnel and canal. BY
this line there may be assured to the capital
500. GOO 900 gallons of water per diem. The fu-
ture will need it. 1t ought to be secured before
any bona tide manufacturing interest absOrbs all
the water at the Great Falls.
THE PROPOSED ROCK CREEK PARK
In former reports the site of this reservoir has
been indicated, as shown upon the accompany
ing map. 1t forms a small lake with bold, rocky
shores. and with wooded hills on its border,
rising two hundred and fifty feet above it. The
outline Is picturesque, the shores being deeply
indented. The exposed face Of the dam can be
made to present fine architectural effect with
out additional cost. A narrow margin about
| the lake, following perhaps the contour, one
hundred and sixty feet above tide or fifteen
feet above the lake, would suffice to create q
park OF great natural beauty, with the lake as
Its central feature. The whole drainage area of
Rock creek within the District of Columbia Is
shown by the shaded lines on the map. II land
can be had at a fair valuation large proportion
or this might be taken for the park. If not,
the land on the border. nearly as worthless az
that for the lake Itself, will serve the purpose
or this may tie dispensed with altogether, as tho
lake will suffice.
