A WORLDS Wonder.

New York is an eighth wonder.
The underground work of the city
alone would entitle it to this distinc-
ton. says the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The many tunnels that pierce and are
piercing it in all directions. and the
bridges that span Its waters, surpass
anything of the kind that the world
has ever seen. They are greater than
we imagine from familiarity with the
notion and from the fact that they
cannot be seen in all their proper
tions, but only realized by thought.
The entire valley of the Esopus in
the Catskills is to be turned into a
huge lake fed by the mountain
streams. 1t will hold 10000, ,0Qo,-
900 gallons of water, have an area of
10000 acres, a lake twelve miles
long and two miles wide. An aque-
duct many times larger than the
most famous of Roman squeducts
will, when the system is completed,
carry the water to the city. 1t will
give daily supply of 60O,OOo,oOo
gallons, which, added to the Croton
supply and that from the Long Is
land watersheds, will make total of
1000, 100000 gallons a day, which is
sufficient to supply population three
times larger than that of the city Of
today. New York, from all its con-
formation, with deep water all round
the island, from its proximity to the
mountains, its nesrness to the, sea,
and its wonderful harbor, seems to
have been meant by nature for the
great city that it is and the greater
one that it will be.
