some years ago for the corporation o the
city to give serious consideration to the
subject of an increased water supply.
The valley of the Kiver Vyruwy, iu
North Wale?, was found to possess
special advatagesas thu source of supply
of the precious Quid, although its dis
tance from Liverpool, forty-live miles in
a direct line, necessitated the construc
tion of an aqueduct sixty-eight miles in
length, presenting engineering problems
of the most difficult nature.
The plan of G. F. Deacon, the engi
neer in charge of this extensive piece of
engineering, was to construct an em
bankment across thu mouth of the valley
to intercept tho water of the Vyruwy,
and store it for tho meet the inhabitant
of the distant city. T.10 rssult of his
labors hus been to create a lake four and
thrce-quai tor miles 1.1 length, and from
a quarter to three-eighths of a mile io
width. Tho embank moot of Idam is a
magniticect structure, and is 1172 leet
in length Iroiu rock to rock of the two
ides of the valley.
From tho lowost part of the founda
tion to the parapet of tho carriage way
over it tho height is 1GI leet, while from
the river bed to the parapet is 10 L fcot.
The dam is a structure of some architec
tural pretensions, the viaduct bciog sup-

ported on a range ot tnegantlv propor
tioned arches rising from the sill. Every
square inch of the work was treated as if
on it alone depended the success of the
whole undertaking, and the utmost care
was taken to have the whole mass of
Itone work practically homogeneous.
The water is led from the lake
through a large straining towor, built on
a projecting piece of ground. No watur
can reach this point until it has been in
the lake a considerable time. This
building ia fitted with straining appli
ances of the most ingenious design, and
the water is allowed to pus into the
aqueduct only after having first gone
through copper wire gauze, bavin 14,400
meshes to the square inch and with an
guiegate area of 2034 square feet.
Great as are the dimensions of the dam
its construction was a simple matter
compared with the making of the
aqueduct, which, as hat already been
atated, is sixty-eight miles In length. It
consists chiefly of tunnels through which
, the ultimate supply of 40,000i000 gal
lon a day may be parsed without tilling
1 hem, and three lines of pipes, varying
lo diameter from thirty-nine inches to
forty-nine inohes. Throughout the
greater part of their length the pipes
are buried beneath the ground, aud
where this is not the case they are car
ried 011 archways or led through tho sub
way. As the full available supply i
not yet required only one of tho three
hue of piuei has u far been laid.
On the Hue ot the viaduct are four
nalaucing reservoir and Altering beds.
Due of these, the Norton water tower.
Uuatod near Runcorn, i remarkable
not only on accouut of its size, but also
' for ft excellent architectural propor
tions. view ol IUU tower is tUowa in
pipes being laid at once without ob
structing the traffic. Thcso repose in
beds ot concrete nt some depth below
the bottom of the strctm.
The crowning feat of the engineer,
however, was the construction of the
tunnel under the Mersty, nt Liverpool,
through which pipes conveying the
water are led. Tliis was not only a
troublesome but the most costly part ot
the undertaking. Shafts, fifty feet in
depth, were sunk in either shore, and
these were connected by a subway exca
vated under air pressure.
Tncre are, of course, mat7 details of
this great work which have not been men
tioned, but ennugh has been said to indi
cate its extent and charactor. Tho cost of
tiic completed undertaking will approxi
mate 10,000,000, but it has secure I t
Liverpool for manyyoars tocinvj a geu-
eroui supply of wholesome water.

Waslickin, or Kilts-on-thc-uttn, whose
portrait is hero presented to tho readers
of the Free I'rcss, is ono of tho good In-
diuns who need not die in order to be
appreciated. Hu is the Chief ot the
Sliosbonci, and lives at tho Blioilione
Indian Agency in Wyoming.
He won his name by his prowess as a
mnrkman, his aim being unerring. A
few year ago most of the surrounding
tribes were hostile to thu Shoshone;, thu
allies of tho whites. The country was
subject to constant raids nod attacks
from armed bands of marauders. Wnsho
km performed many deeds of valor in
defense of his people, llo was never
seriously wounded; a scar which shows
on his chest is from an arrow wound re
ceived from lighting the Crows, Ho has
ou several occasions rendered valuable
aid with his warriors to the United
States troops in repelling unfriendly Iu
dians. In the portrait the hcad-drcs is a war

of the mission for $30. In his left band
he carries tho ordinary pipe used by In

much harder than clay when cut out ot

hard wheu exposed to the atmosphere.

The Giant's Causeway is situated at
tho northern extremity of C')'.inty An
trim, a short distanco from Tost Ittish,
Ireland. It consists of countless hosts ol
basaltic pillar, varying in shape Ir.mi a
pontagon to an octagon, thu average
length of ech column or pillar being
about eighty leet, tho whole starked so
closely together that a knile blalu could
hardly bu inserted between them, lint
the formation of thoto pill irs it not the
least wonderful part about them, for,
although they may bo counted by thou
sands and tens of thousand, cacli column
is fashioned with a symmetry that sug
gests a mason's handiwork. Their cum
position is a perfect fusion of one-half
llinty earth, one quarter lime and clay
and one quarter nlmost pure iron, e:n:'i
pillar being divided into regular lengths
or joints winch come together as a per
fect, natural ball-and-socket union. AN
though to bo found m small dataclimcnts
(embedded in the clills, s:ini, etc.) for
some distance along thu suore, the
principal aggregation forming the
causeways proper consist of three pro
jections or tongues known us Little,

singular columns are of different lengths,

Itiis!an ImmigiMiiis iu M artUnit.
A correspondent ol the Baltimore Sur,
has been looking into the doings of the
Russian immiurants in Maryland, where
there ure quite a number nt them. He
says that all tho employers to whom he
has spoken commeud them, aud es
pecially their women. Thesa work in
the field, make bay, cut and stack corn,
load and unload wagons as well as tho
men or better. Their work about tho
bouso and dairy is universally pronounced
good. The men got 1(1) n moath, a
lurnlshcd tenement house, their provis
ions and the use ot a cow for a tamily.
The women receive fifty cents for every
day that they work. Tliey savj about
every dollar of their earnings. They
subsist mostly upon a kind ot soup,
which they thicken with middlings and
dark flour, letting it sour before eatiug
it. They still have tho clot ll log they
brought Iroro their former homes. It is

Slocking of Paper.
Stockings of puper nru among the
latest product ot German inventive
genius. A Berlin paper, devoted to the
shoe trade, states that thu socks are made
ot a specially prepared inpregnatcd paper
itock, for which an extraordinary effect
on perspiring feet is claimed. Tho paper
absorbe the moisture as rapidly as it ia
formed, and the feet remain dry and
warm and perfectly sound, while the con
stant temperature maintained in the
shoes 1 said to be a great preventive
of cold. Tne manufacturers instruct
bit ot their paper to bo put between the
toe, and then a largo piece to bo
wrapped over tho foot, and tho stocking
to be put on over ail. Becacuo paper
bsorbes moisture may be a reason why
some shoemaker make shoes with paper
