Benjamin +. Is interested In the
methods and machinery OF water sup
plies, and asks where were the FIRST
water-works In the United States To-
Gated? Answer: Doctor Southwick In
one OF his books gives the following:
"On the best authority available. Il Is
believed that the FIRST wGter-works were
constructed by John Christopher Chris
ienssenn In 1862. at BethlehemsPa. The
machinery consisted OF three single
acting force-pumps. four-inch callber
and eighteen-inch stroke. worked by a
triple crank and geared to the shaft OF
an undershot water-wheel eighteen feet
In diameter and two feet clear In the
buckets. The total head OF water was
two feet. On the water shaft was a
'wallower' OF thirty-three rounds gear
ing into a spur wheel OF fifty-two cogs
attached to the crank. The three piston
rods we're attached each to a frame or
crosshead working In grooves to give
them a parallel motion with the pump.
The crossheads were OF wood as well as
The parts containing the grooves or
guides. The water was raised by this
machinery TO the height Of seventy feet
and subsequently to one hundred and
fourteen feet. These works were In
operation as late as 1882. The first ris-
ing main was made OF gum wood as far
as II was subject to pressure and the
rest was pitch pine In 1896. lead pipes

changed for iron"

London-lt would seem that In
this useful sphere the woman
movement" Is making no Roadway. On
the board which was elected In 1873
there we're no fewer than nine ladies'
on that which Is now In office there are
only four The circumstance may be
partly explained by the fact that for
the last ten years the party which Is
called Moderate have been In the
ascendant. whilst. with one exception
all the lady candidates have been adj
herents OF that which is known as
Progressive" Nevertheless, with so
much public activity observable on the
part OF women. II is still matter Tor
wonder that they have not maintained
a stronger representation OF their SEX
on a body which Is closely concerned
with 80 many subjects Of great femi-
nine interest.
This being So Il must be accounted
matter OF good fortune that In Miss
