It is not certainly known when, and from whom, the origin of the Chinese women's custom of foot-binding originated. Some say it arose in the time of the Five Dynasties, which intervened In the roth century A.D. between the Tang and the Sung, Jao Niang, the beautiful concubine of Li Yu, the last of one of these dynasties, called the Klang-nan or Southern Tang, tied up her feet with silk into the shape of the crescent moon. and all the other beauties of the time imitated her. Indeed the poets of previous dynasties do days, this Sie Lin Yin, of the 6th century A.D. and the great poet Li Tai-peh who flourished in the 8th century under the Tang dynasty, both sing of the beauty of the snow-white feet of the women of their times, in which when any foot- gear at all was worn, it was square-toed for men

CELEBRATED AQUEDUCTS."
By far the most remarkable city, so far as its water supply was concerned, was ancient Fome. At the height of her splendor Rome had eleven distinct aqueducts, whose aggregate discharge was equal to a stream twenty feet wide by six deep, with a rapid fall. The daily supply was in the proportion of 332 gallons to each inhabit Ant, and it was distributed to the palaces and humbler dwellings in every part of the city, as to innumerable fountains, many poblic wells and several artificial, lakes where the Emperors held large reservoirs, to the numerous baths and to their mimic naval battles. For the aqueduct known as the Anio Novas, which was unfailing and furnished the most abundant supply, the river Anio was arrested near its source by three gigantic walls at different levels, and formed into as many lakes one below the other. Over these walls the water fell in magnificent cascades, one of them over 150 feet high. The purpose of the lakes was to clarify the water, for the Anio, though usually a limpid stream, was liable to become muddy after a heavy rain,

learn from them. They probably derived their knowledge from the Greeks and Carthagenians, for Carthage had a magnificent aqueduct while Rome was yet a hamlet, and all the great cities of Greece had aqueducts of their own long before Greece began to figure in the history of the world. But the Romans were not mere imitators they improved on the knowledge they derived and the remains of the arcades across the Campagna and in the neighbourhood of the provincial cities are among the most imposing monuments to-day of the whilom greatness of the Eternal City. There are two of these arcades across the Campagna exciting the wonder and admiration of visitors to Rome at the present lime. They are called the Marcian and the Claudian. The former carried three aqueducts, one above the other, the latter two. The sources of the Anio Novus and the Aqua Claudia were over 2000 feet above the level of the
is thirty-three and one-eighth miles, and the water, instead of being carried over the Harlem river by a bridge, as in the case of the old aqueduct, is carried under the river by a siphon. At its lowest point the conduit is over 300 feet below the surface of the earth. The conduit has an inside area equal to that of a circle fourteen feet in diameter and its capacity will be 240,000,000 gallons per day. This will give, with the old, aqueduct, a total water supply of over 350,000,000 gallons per day. The actual cost of the new aqueduct, up to May 1, 1878, was $17,168,000, and it is estimated that an expen. diture of $1,500,000 more will be required to complete it. This is exclusive of the cast of the dam yet to be built. The aqueduct proper is finished, and only the finishing touches remain to be put on. It will be opened; for use next summer.
Other notable aqueducts in this country are the Washington aqueduct and the Cuchituate of Boston. The former supplies the cities of Wash- ington and Georgetown with water from the Potomac. Its capacity is 70,000,000 gallons per day. It was constructed by the United States Government at a cost of $3,000,000, and has several fine arcades, of which the most notable is the one across Cabin John creek, which is a single granite auch rco feet high and 220 feet long. The cities of Chicago and Milwaukee in their water supply from the lake. The water of Lake Michigan is brought into each city by a tunnel from a sufficient distance off shore to insure its being pure, and is then pumped up into surface reservoirs, whence it is distributed in the usual manner. The Chicago tunnel is three miles long, that of Milwaukee is shorter. Arrangements have lately been made to increase the water supply of Chicago,

city and those of the Marcia and Anio Vetus were not much lower. Coming from such a height and for distances varying in direct lines from thirty to forty-three miles the water would naturally acquire great velocity and tremendous force, which it was necessary to diminish, and that was done by making numerous angles in the conduits. The angles were made, as a rule, at every half mile, and were points at which reservoirs or filtering pinces, or both, with accompanying ait-shafts, were built. As an additional means of breaking the force of the water the floors of the conduits were given a succession of short undulations. The air-shafts were surmounted by small towers The conduits, the reservoirs and filtering places were lined with a cement called opus signinum, which is dense enough to resist a hard tool. The art of making this cement has been lost. The conduits, always covered, were carried on arcades only where it was necessary to cross a valley or plain above Its level. For the rest of their way they ran in some places upon the surface of the ground, but mostly below it. Thus of the fifty- eight miles of the Anio Novus forty-nine were under ground. No two aqueducts were on the same level, and so where their courses converged it was both possible and convenient to carry one conduit upon another. Hence we find the Aqua Marcia Tepula and Julia corried from their point of convergence one above the other. on one arcade and the Aque Claudia and Anio Novus on another. Besides the small reservoirs referred to as occurring at the angles of the conduits there were larger ones at longer intervals. The ruins of one of these belonging to the Aqua Marcia, are still to be see near Carciano. It is a huge subterranean chamber. divided by an arcade in the middle. The filter consisted of four chambers, two on the level with the conduit and two immdiately beneath. The water flowing into the first descended through an opening into the floor to the second, whence it flowed through a perforated wall or grating to the third, and ascended from that through an opening in the roof to the fourth, where it found its original level and re-entered the conduit. A stairway descending to an opening, afforded CHINA COAST METEOROLOGICAL access to the lower chambers, and by the assistance of sluice gates the water could be turned directly from the first chamber to the fourth, so that the mud could be cleaned out of the chambers below. This ingenious device, remarkable alike for simplicity and utility, has apparently not occurred to modern aqueduct builders.
The most remarkable aqueduct in Europe at the present time is the Roque Favour, which supplies the city of Marseilles with water and irrigates 25,000 acres of land around it. This aqueduct is fifty-one miles long; it taps the River Durance and delivers 285,000 gallons per day. It has a magnificent arcade across the River Arc 162 feet high and 1287 feet long. The arcade of the Pont-du-Jour aqueduct, crossing the Seine at Paris, is a splendid structure. This aqueduct is the longest in the world-110 miles, Its capacity, however, is small, being less than JAPANESE AND 30,000,000 gallons per day. It was finished only about ten years ago and was designed to supply residences only.
All claims against the Steamer must be pre- sented to the Undersigned on or before the 8th instant, or they will not be recognised.
The city of Glasgow is supplied by an aqueduct thirty-five miles long with the water of Loch Katrine. Vienna also has a notable aqueduct, finished in 1873. It is fifty-six miles and a half long and conveys to the city the water of two springs situated at the fool of the Styrian Alps.
has several splendid arcades, chief among: which are one at Baden, another at Modling, and the third at Lelslag. The first is ninety-six feet high, about 2000 feet long, and comprises forty-three arches.

There were 247 reservoirs In the city from which the water was distributed to nineteen barracks for the Eise of the army, ninety-five public establishments, thiety-nine
Walimuck jon theaters and places of amusement and 591 open Tokis reservoirs for the public. That was in the time Naga of Frontinus. The number of open reservoirs has was afterward increased. Among the aquedues foking unuszone built by the Romans for their provincial cities, Hapon the most remarkable were the following: One built by the Emperor Agrippa for the ancient city Nemausus, now Nimes, in France. It had an arcade across the River Gard 180 feet high and about goo feet long. This splendid structure, stili perfect, is now, called the Port du Gard. The aqueduct of Antioch has an arcade 700 feet long and zoo feet high. An aqueduct of later date, bulit In the eighth or ninth century A.D. has an arcade called Deile Torri near Spoleto, It is about 300 feet high and over you feet long, and is remarkable as an early example of the pointed-arch as well as lightness
of design, Among other noted aqueducts of antiquity were those of Carthage, where there are remains now of one which was over fifty miles long. One of the arcade of this aqueduct is still, to be seen near Undena. It comprised rooo arches, many of which were over 100 feet high.. The Greeks built aqueducts at Megara and Samos as early as 625 B.C. and at Athens in 500 B.C. The Greeks, however, did not use arches, which were rendered unnecessary by the topography of the country. Some of the old aquadacta of Athens are still supplying the city with water.
