Babcock, civil ami hydraulic engineer, chief engineer Little Falla waterworks. Little Fails, N. Y. That sound vitrified pipe la durable would scorn hardly Wurth devoting much time to demonstrate. Bewera bunt of it have been uncart Imm In the encavation of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which cities were destroyed by an eruption of Vesuvius, A. D. 79. Vitrified clay ia one of the most dursldo materials known. While the marble palaces, templet and tomha of Rome and other ancient cities have crumbled to dust, those built of burned clay remain almost perfect. Tha nee of thie rlay for images, ornaments, drain pipes, coffin, and vessels of different kinds datea back to the remote axes. Bewera and tiling in const ruction have been found In Pompeii. Troy and Mnevt-h- . and among tha oldest cities in tha world. Here St was In general use, and the tnmlia arc drained with day pipes as sound as when laid In the ground 4.000 years ago. Whether the nnrienti useo sail to glare their pipes with doe not appear, but that it a (lit to tha durability of ilia pipe the following description of tho process of glazing win make manifest: pipes at necessarily made from good clay, which will stand n great degree of heat. The pipes, after bciug made and dried, are in dose kiln and gradually sunjected to an intense heat. When this a placed heat is of sufficient intensity, cosrse salt is thrown upon the flic in larxe quantities; a portion of the salt vaporizes; which Vapor, combining with the allic of the day, produce a soda salt or glass, which ia a glaze, ami 1 part of ths body of the pipe. It requires good clay to endure hint of sufficient intensity to vaporize the salt, and this heat ia so great that the pipe are thorough.,' vitrified and very hard, and glazed inside and out. The old at lie box culvert is constantly getting out of order and will but a few year, nt the beat, while our HARD-B- l KKED, VITRIFIED (TLVERT FIFE, when once properly laid, will last for WITHOUT ages REPAIRS. The cost of pulling in Vitrified Pipe la only IS per cent greater than the wooden culvert or flume. This pipo can be used under any erosaing where It can lie laid one foot under ground. When laid at a shallower depth it is liable to be broken. But by building up t lie rouds as they should be built a depth of one foot for culverts ran nearly alwut in- secured. A twelve-incpipe culvert with a drop of ner.i-- s an ordinary street will carry 1408 gallons of water per minute, and where the drop is practically imperceptible, the capacity ia about half as great. Communities that insist in using wooden culvert are doing themselves an Injustire. Hence, wooden culverts should be a thing of the past. last BALT-GLAZE- - four-iiirh- u-- ed h r, Balt-glaze- d When Laying Drain Tile, Remember: 1. To begin the work at the lowest end or outfall. 2.

Practical Suggestions for Laying Drain Tile In the beginning of the work it should be carefully laid out, the inclination marked on grade stakes, and the whole should be platted and carefully preserved for future reference. If it is not poible to complete the work Siam, let it be done so as to look forward to the time when It is completed. In laying the drain. It i well to strictly adhere to the following rules: 1. The drain should have a sufficient outlet fur the discharge of the water that mav pan through it. 2. The drain should be deep enough to drain the widest space possible from three to four feet and deeper It necessary, to get the water out by a much shorter line, but drain any wny, even ir you cannot get outlet to drain mi Jeep. 3. The (nit torn of the drain should be one regular line of descent, so that tiie current may nave a smooth flow from the head to the mouth of the drain. 4. Every tile should be perfect in form and burned, having a clear metallic ring. 5. in laying the tiie, take pni:is tu fit the joint cloudy, as with all care there will be sufficient apace for the Inlet of the water, and c!oe Join1 VI1 prevent the letting in of silt of washings. li. At the junction of the drain, the water should lie brought together, flowing an nearly a possible in the same direction, so that the flow of the current mav not be obstructed. the 7. The size of the tile may be pretty accurately determined by amount of surface tu be drained and tiie descent of the drain. 8. At the point where tue work cease for the time, ecure and note the name, that the work may he readily token up ut any time. 9.
