OUTLET FROM RESERVOIR,


But the new aqueduct is not yet COM
pleted. This paper deals with the present or
old one.
Croton river enters the Hudson at Teller'S
point, forty miles above New York city.
Siz miles above the mouth of the Croton
river, and thirty.ive miles north Of Central
park, the present aqueduct begins. Up near
Owentown is great natural basin called
Croton lake. 1t holds 800, 100000 gallons Of
water. At the southwestern end of this lake
a gigantic dam is built, and here the great
thirty-ive mile aqueduct starts. The dam is
$50 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
The aqueduct trails across ravines, tunnels
through solid granite hills, and leaps high
over rivers. 1t crosses Harlem under the
floor of High Bridge in huge pipe about
twenty-three feet around. At intervals of
every half mile it is pierced by pipe to ven
tilate it. In the first illustration such ven
tilator appears in cross section.
In the second illustration the Central park
end Of the aqueduct is seen. Here, thirty
feet underground, begin the forty-eight inch
mains that conduct the water through tht
city This point is known as the pipe gallery

INSPECTING AouEpucr.

In Central park are two reservoirs, and
there is third one down in the city at Forty
second street.
Sometimes once year. sometimes oftener,
it is necessary to inspect the whole thirty
fiye-mile length of aqeduct. The chief Ell
gineer personally goes through it from end to
end. Occasionally it is allowed to run quite
empty, and the engineer and workmen-rid-
ing machines that are half bicycle, half hand
car-pump themselves through the dank
archway
1t is a pokerish business altogether. In

their lives in their hands Any forgetfulness
on the part Of a gatekeeper, any misunder
standing of orders-such as letting the water
in too soon-and whish they would be
drowned like blind kittens.

10 The regions dolUn Ee took the lady
Oeton." straight away
To the depths of the ocean blue,
And whatever became Of that beautiful dame
There is nobody ever knew,
There are some folks say on the list of May
She s seen with glass in her hand
And that she was sold to the norman bold
Who came to the desoate strand.
But every night when the moon shines bright
The ghost Of the lady is seen,
All dressed at her need in an ulster of weed,
And her hair is a bright sea green
And the ghost Of great big sardiHe box
Comes stalking along the shore,
And the ghost OF a little sardine fish
Goes rockinE on before.
And the fishermen hear the sound of knocks,
AMI, "Open this box for me-
Cause love sardines when they're boiled with
beans
And mixed with the sands of the sea.

Now, ladies all, both short and tall,
Who love to eat sarlines,

And never with sand and beans

Next to humping piano and being able
to speak twenty different words in French,
every young lady should know how to draw
and paint. Nothing makes house look more
homelike than $50 elegant oil paintings hung
on the walls. While the art of painting fur
nishes more or less amusement it can be
turned to a source of profit at any time. The
tea stores will always pay 50 hundred for
works of merit, and leading citizens are ever
ready to catch up anything which is sold by
the yard at a bargain.
