Great Works Of Europe.

One Of the most remarkable works Of
the kind constructed in modern times is
the aqueduct bridge Of Maintenon, erect
ed for the purpose Of conveying water 70
Versailles from the river Eure. Il consists
Of three rows OF arches, one above anoth-
er, and Is 200 feet high by fve-sizths ola
mile 10 length. The conduit fhzt sup
plies Marseilles with the water Ofthe DU-
rance is about sixty miles in length and
one Of its aqueduct bridges Is 262 feet
high. The length Of the conduit which
brings water from kaiseFbfGm 10 Vienna
Is fifty-six and half miles, bot the tall
est Of its aqueduct bridges is only about
&c feet. The main Paris aqueduct Is
little over ll0 miles long, and, With its
subsidiary eonduits, compelled the con-
siruetion Of seventeen bridg-s--N l.
