A Well Built Tunnel With Dry Side

walk on Either Side.
A correspondent of the CONGREGATIONAL
ist describes the sewers of Paris and the
description affords an example of what
we'll might be in every large city of the
land. Going down with some seventy
other visitors, by two flights of carpeted
iron stairs, he landed in vaulted cham
ber, where the visitors took seats in two
large boats in the sewer, which was over
eighteen feet wide and fourteen feet high.
The sewage, which is only the water dis
charge from dwellings, factories, etc. the
offensive sewage from closets being other
wise disposed of, flows in a central chan
mel twelve feet wide and from four to five
feet deep. and this channel is broadened
on each side by paved walks, three feet
in width and perfectly dry, sweet and
clean, giving excellent sidewalks for
work kmen or visitors.
The sewer itself is far more than an
American sewer. 1t is great and we'll
built tunnel, constructed for variety of
uses, only one of which is to carry away
the waste water of the city. 1t is way
for huge water and gas pipes, for con-
duit and service pipes, for telegraph and
telephone wires and for pneumatic tubes
for postoffice and other service. Bv ropes
attached to the boats the visitors were
propelled along this roofed-over canal.
from which no offensive odor was per-
ceived, while the rapid current, made by
the constant inflow from the side pines
and small sewers kept up the steady flow
of the stream. After long ride in the
boats the visitors climbed UP two other
flights of carpeted iron stairs. having
been on their visit to the sewers lust an
hour.
