A recent work on sanitary engineering
says that DAMASCUS possesses in all proba-
hility the oldest watcrworks In the world.
The city itself is the most ancient OF exist
ing cities, having seen the rise and fall Of
the Greek and Roman empires, OF Babylon,
Nineyeh, Palmyra and Jerusalem. When
taken by the Saracens from the Romans,
the waterworks already existed, and It Is
probable that the latter constructed the
works which still exist and supply the
town, Damascus lies in valley on the
river ALBANIA, which flows from the Lcba-
non hills aud Is lost in the desert to the east
of the town. In spite of copious supply
Of excellent water, Damascus has had no
immunity from epidcmics, owing to the
fact that the double canalization for water
supply had drainage, being moro or less
leaky, saturated the soil and raised the
spring level nearly to the surface, aud the
sewers arc rarely n ever cleaned, arc not
systematically ventilated, and they pass
under many OF the houses, It is not sur
prising therefore, that Damascus is aud
always was an insalubrious town.
