Tho Babylonians aro said to have had n tunnel benenth the Euplrates, but very littlo is known about it. The ourlicst instanca of carrying water accross sttesms was that of Watt, of Glasgow. The noxt instance, asin tho case of Watt, by floxible pipes, was that em- ploved by William 8, Whitwell, betwoen Boston and Cholsea. Ward's joiut, a comparatively re- cent invontion, by its economy, simplicity, and floxibility, has come into genoral use for flexible pipes, and Lias -several patented improvements, Andthor plan ndopted at the oromsing of tho Charles and Mystic Rivers. by the Boston: Wntor-Works, was to lay the pipes bg -the side of existing - plle bridges, above high wator mark across the shallow por-~ tions, and to placo inverted syphons under the chounols at tho draws. Theso inyerted syphons wora put togather on shore, and wore made b; ‘boxing around the pipo with heavy timber, hav- ing n suflicient space betweon the cast-iron pipa aud the wood to be fllled with cement to protect tho iron from tha corrosive action of salt-water. All pipos passing undor wator should be pro- vided with somo means of removing from them deposita, When not large enongh to admit a man, thoy should be providod with *‘ blow-offs” near the surfaco of the wator, The greatimportanco of boiug able to reach at all times; a brouk orde- fect has led to the adoption of tunvels undor navigable waters, Tho first on reoord in this country appesrs to havo beon that of Eddy, of Boston, prssing under the Charles River, thongh thero are now mauy in usein this country and Europo. ‘ Mr. Chesbrough proceded to describe some of the diflioultion of ropairing pipes beneath tho surfaco of tho water, illustrating the subject by reforonco to the leaks repairod in tho Ohloago avenuo and Rush streat pipes boneath the rivor in thig city. In theso casos the pipos firat used wera simply mado of boilor iron, joined togother and sunk into trenches in the bottom, formed by dredging, ' They wero often injured by anchors, driving piles, oto., snd therefore tuutiols hn Dbeen mado at Rush street, Adams stroet, Ohi- cago uvenue, Archor avenue, and two boneath Divisiou stroot.
