NOTHING NEW.
Engineering Feats Of Antiquity.
Four thousand yours before the dawn of the Christain era ther were civil engineers who carried out works of similar difliculty and magnitude to those contruct- ed in modern timos.
The Nile-Red Sea canal was no loss an undertaking than the Suez or Panama canal, And thero were a great many similar canais constructed in Upper Egypt, in Abyssinin and Mesopotamia that any modern engineer would be proud of. having constructed.
in
The Romans were expert hydr aulic engineers. Many of their great water systems are in oporu tion today, having weathered ull the storms of line. The City of Rome was furnished an extensive and most efficient water system by many wonderfully built aqueducts. The Aqua Appia Aqueduct was ten miles in length. It was chilly carried under- grond. But it crossed a valloy on a splendid set of brick mud concrete arches, the ruins ot which may be seen standing al most intact th-day. Roman on- gineers constructed similar aqu duet and water systems Frunen, England, Spain and Africa. Warm water was suppli tu Rome from the velcan · spring of Topela, eleven mila. south-enst of the city, near Mon': Albani, or the Allan Hills, by th Aqua Tepulu. This hot water was used for baths and for warnt- ing houses. The Aqua Julia wn! several smaller systems also carried warm water to Rome from the Alban Hills, Rumar engineers employed' pipes pos sembling modern onus for 'draw- fing household supplios of water from the public and municipal aqueducts. These pipes were made of lead, copper, terra cotta, concrete or drilled stone or wood. Earthenware pipes were com.. nionest in use. Syphons were most ingeniously used by ancient engineers for carrying water up or over hills
A druin-pipe system designed to carry water under a head of 345 foot has been found near. Alatvi, Italy. Tunnelling was a branch of engineering that ap- pealed to Român and Greek skill. The Greek engineer Eupalinus in 625 B.C. constructed a tunnel 18 by 8 feet and 4,300 feet in length to convey water into Athens. The rock was cut in tunnels by picks, chisels, wood wedgos and similar means. It was common practice to heat the rock by wood fires and then spruy cold water over it. The rock was splintered· in this way, and" was easily. brokon down by picks and drills. Harbour works suited to the needs of the great commerce of the Romans, Greeks and Egyp- tians wore constructed in many, poris.
The harbour at Alexandria, constructed for the Egyptian Government by Minoan ongineers at the time of the building of the great pyramids, has not been ex-. lever, inclined plane, celled by modern works. The .... Craw- jack, pulley and anytin il trag. Pliances were used by early el- gineers in their large construc tion works,
These were cruder mechanisms than we use to-day; bit we should remember that in early times the world moved slowly. Engineers employed large armie of men, and allowed them plently of time to move large, woights. By these moang they were able to move or transport for hundreds of miles huge monoliths like the the obelisks or some of the great slabs used in the construction of the pyramids. The movement of any largeweight never deterredan ancient engineer when. unlimited time and men were assigned, to him. Stoady, patient persever- anco enabled him to overcome all obstacles and create the in- numerable historial works re- risining to-days us testimony to his engineering and architectural. ability.
