Largest Sewer in the World.

1t is said there is now being built in
Washington, d. c., sewer which is
larger by seven feet than any other
sewer in the world. In its smallest
part it is larger than the largest of the
sewers in Paris. For over 1000 feet it
is a circular sewer of % feet in diam
eter. There is connected with it a
sewer of 5000 feet, or nearly one mile
in length, of 20 feet in diameter. A
fully-equipped palace-car. locomotive
and all, could be run through it with
out difficulty. This enormous sewer Is
intended to drain the immense water
shed lying to the north of the city. Be-
sides that it will carry to the Potomac
all the contents of the smaller system
of sewers in the northern part of the
city. 1t takes probably year to COM
plete the work. The bound%y-street
sewer, with its connect ,g systems,
will cost when completed over $500, 600.

about four miles long which was foot

the solid road-bed, we came upon a
colored man with his mule and cart,
the latter loaded with wood and stuck
fast in the mud. The man was seated
by the road side, while the old mule
was chewing away at heap OF brush

him.
