Rome's Water Supply.

Tho city which has not only the best
water supply In proportion to its popu-
lation, but also the largest water supply
of any city in the world, is Rome. This
is owing to the fact that the ancient
Romans built enormous aQueducts
which poured into the city. in the time
of the Emperors. 880, ZOO, 600 gallons
daily, amounting to 100 gallons for ca ch
inhabitant. The amount Of water now
supplied IL 2OO, ,O0O, 600 gallons daily.
amounting to $40 gallons a day for each
inhabitant! The reason Of the great in
crease Of the amount per nhabitant, Is,
of course. that the population is very
much less now than during the empire.
The vast aqueducts striding on huge
arches across the Campagn and still
bringing copious supplies Of water
from the Apennines and the Alban hills,
are among the most striking features of
modern Rome" Compared with Rome,
all ether great cities are but poorly sup
piled. Chicago, Sidney and Buffalo
have about 120 gallons daily per inhab-
liant, New York 20, Marseilles 90, Paris
30. London 80. Hamburg II. Manches-
ter obtaining its water from Lake Thirl
mere. and Glasgow from Loeb Katrine
can both boast an inexha tible supply

Cslffornia's King of Tuns

The Great Tun of Heidelberg. which
for $50 years has been the largest cask
In the world and as such has gained
fame In history, has been eclipsed by
the erection Of monster vat in a WIG
yard near Fresno, Cal, which VIII bs
known rs the King of Tuns.
The Great Tun held 1900 gallons.
but for years it has not been used
as the vineyards of Heidelberg Castle
did not produce sufficient grapes The
King of Tuns holds 10000 gallons, be-
ing almost twice as large as the Great
Tun.
In the construction OF the California
King of Tuns enough lumber was used
to erect a mansion, and two carloads
Of steel were required for the hoops.
The giant cask stands 80 feet high, is
26 feet in diameter and will hold thirty
carloads of wine. In addition to this
monster, there are three other tuns in
the same vineyard. which are larger
than the Great Tun. but they are
dwarfs alongside the big fellow.
The King Of Tuns Is built of the na-
tive redwood Of California. The lum-
Der was cut especially for 1t, and but
one piece in ten would pass the re-
quired inspection. as not a knot or n
flaw was allowed. The wood was sea
soned for two years before the cask
was built. The St George vineyard,
in which the largest tun in the world
was built, produces annually quarter
of a million gallons of wine.
This anormouS VAT WAS not huilt :
a curiosity, but for service, and will
be filed each year. George II. Malta.
one of the owners Of the St. George
vineyard, explains that In order to IN
sure q sufficient supply Of wine that
will be OF uniform quality 1t is neces-
sary that It shall be mixed together
Two vats Allied at the same time and
treated as nearly alike as is possible
will be found to have q different flavor
The King Of Tuns Is one of the most
prominent objects In the Fresno Val
ley. 1t towers high over all the other
buildings. and can be seen for miles
in any direction. It is so substantially
built that 1t Is expected to last for
centuries. Longfellow mentions the
Great Tun at Heidelberg in his "Hype-
rion." Perhaps some future novelist
will weave q romance about the King
of Tuns at Fresno.

MALAGA IN JULY.

ORer the eight-seer.
1t was July, and we had arrived at
Malaga from Marseilles by water. The
town lay white and shining under q
barren amphitheater Of mountains. Be
tween 1t and the Vinuesa was great
stretch Of hot, hazy, shimmering. sunlit
water, over which little boats, each
with white awning up. pulled out to
meet US. We had read In Mr.. Hare's
"Wanderings in Spain" Of theextortion
and shocking manners Of Malaga's 8
boatmen; the same story was in Muir
ray, with an added warning to keep our
temper But we had no trouble.
Once we had landed. and on the open
quay ]. had unstrapped and unlocked
all our bags for a customs officer, who
the Hotel Victoria the landlord had
given ~ a large, clean, airy, brick-fioOr-
ed bedroom, for which he asked less
than the guide book told us to beat him
down to; we were free. without further
delay or bother. to make our plans and
be of on the road at any moment we
chose.
But first OF all we went out to have .
leok at Malaga Who was it said that
sightseeing is the art Of disappoint-
ment? Surely we had not come all this
way to the town Of Hamet el Zegri, to
walk through brand-new, wide streets,
lined with big modern shops and clubs
and cafes. The huge interior of the
cathedral was unimpressive. The
broken walls of the old Moorish fortress
stood on the top of far too high a Hill
to be climbed in the staring sunshine
of a July day. And even Murray could
direct US to nothing else but a plain.
bare church, where the banner of St
Ferdinand Is said to hang, which we
found fast shut; and an old Moorish
arch, now neatly restored; and a river,
dried up by the blazing sun Of tropical
summer, with a railway track running
down the middle of its bed, between
groups Of wooden shanties. We met
women In black lace mantillas or else
in long. pointed shawls, a gay flower
stuck In their hair, and men with clean
shaven faces, in low, broad -brimmed
hats and wide red belts. We saw plenty
Of donkeys in bright, gaudy trappings,
but this was all the costume. We ought
to have known better than to expect
moro. Still, somehow, it's absence add
