AQuEDUcr UNDER HARLEM RIVER.


The water supply of New YorI; comes from
Croton river, north of the city 1t must cross
the Harlem. The present aqueduct gets to
the city across the famous High Bridge, far
above the Harlem. This is n tremendous
piece of engineering. The waterway is i'm
nediately under the floor of the bridge and
is so large that boat can be rowoi through it.
The new and enlarged supply viii pass i'll a
great tunnel under the river. The plan of it
is given in the picture. Thus by two aque-
ducts, one over Harlem river the other under,
the vast city viii be fed with water. The
supply is now insufficient and the opening of
the waterway IS looked forward tn
anxiously. The crossing under the river will
be made through solid rock 80 feet below the
river level
The water head up ut the Croton has been
artificially enlarged to feed the new water
way. Artificial dams, lakes and a water shell
have been constructed, so us to bring all the
adjacent flow together to this one outlet. 1t
is the greatest ,>.tor w0r',s engineering on
this continent.
At present the head pressure III New York
city is insufficient To- carry water above the
first floor. Every house that Is more than
two stories has therefore to have a pump in
addition to the ordinary water fixtures. This
worked by steam or other motor often by
fatguing arm and shoulder practice, conveys
the water up to n tanl. in the roof, thence it
runs into the pipes.
