Worlds Longest Tunnel.

In it's Journey toward completion tne
Catskill aqueduct, through which New
York CITY is to obtain its water supply
passed the final milestone when the
last pair of tunnel headings we're hoieo
through. The meeting of the two pores
opens the longest stretch of continuous
tunnel in the world. The clear length
from end to end of this portion OF tne
great conduit is eighteen miles, or SIX
miles longer than the Simplon, the
holder of the former record for tunnel
length.
AS result of the last blast there Is
an unobstructed opening for the free
flow of water from one end or the
Catskill aqueduct to the other, dis
tance of 10 miles, and the danger OF a
water famine, such as threatened New
York City few years ago, Is now
definitely removed. In an emergency
Catskill water could be delivered to
New York now at very short notice
Now that the waterway opening Is
cleared the work remaining is the COM
pletion of the tunnel Innings and the
installation of the regulating works at
the shafts. Thus the aqueduet mas
