A Remarkable Dam.

One Of the most remarkable
dams in the world for height and
construction is that by which the
Vyrnwy River, northern Wales, is
enabled to supply water to the city
of Liverpool, some seven miles dis
tant. In building this dam a great
trench was at first excavated across
the valley for a length of eleven
hundred feet, a width of one hun
dred and twenty and a maximum
depth Of sixty. The masonry was
started in this trench; it consists of
immense irregular blocks of slate,
wedged together and thoroughly
bedded in Portland cement mortar,
the faces being formed Of cut stone
blocks fitted together with great
care, the greatest height of the
dam being one hundred and sixty
one feet. It's most remarkable
feature is the lack of any channel
to carry off the floods, the surplus
in the lake flowing down the front
of the dam, which is curved to per-
NIT as free descent as possible and
prevent the formation Of eddies at
the bottom. The lake formed by
this main dam covers an area four
and three-fourths miles long, from
one-quarter to five-eights of mile
wide, and holds largely over twelve
million gallons. The aqueduct
leading from the intake tower to the
disturbing reservoir, about two
miles from the city, is sixty-eight
miles long and consists principally
of a large cast-iron pipe line from
thirty-nine to forty-two inches IN
diameter. There are a number Of
reservoirs and tanks along the line,
and at one place is great filtering
plant.
