Stine-Ware Pipes for Conveying water.
Pipes of Hone ware materials are but
little known on thi3 continent (wood
Wing fo'dieap) but are in general use
in many parts of Europe, particularly
in England, where the many advanta
ges they poireE, render them more ge
neral than any other kind. With care
they are as durable as iron or lead, and
“ are particuliarly valued for the cou
veyance of spring-water to drink, for
being glazed on the inside a* wrll as
out, the mud will not Hick to them,
and the water is better preserved and
clearer than in any other pipes ; brfide*,
it doe* not acquire that bad quality in
palling through them which it doe*
through lead, iron or wood for what
ever 1* the quality of the water at the
spring, it c-an bo depended on being e
qually good, however far it may run,
even in the hottetl weather—A pecu
liar excellence ! No other fort of pipe
can vie with them in keeping it cool.
This laH advantage is a very conftdera
ble one in a climate like that of Ame
rica, especially in the summer season ;
and their colt bears no coniparifon with
the lead or iron.
Pipes of this defeription are said to
have been found in fcveral places about
the city of London, which, by several
circumllanceß, are supposed (by icienti
lie men) to have been laid by the Ro
mans, when they inhabited that Island ;
such have been taken up at Hyde Park,
belonging to the ancient water works
there, and still perleftly found.
“ Some years ago there wa* a trial
of this fort of pipes (half an inch thick
and four inches bore) made at the \ ork
buildings before Dr. Defaguelter*, and
the plumber* of the works themselves
when being fairly tried with all the
comprcfiSon of air and force that en
gine could lay upon them, without do
ing them the lealt injury.*’ A confider.
able improvement has lately been made
bv a manufafturer at Cbarlellon (on the
Ohio) in the method of fiuilhing them.
It principally coufifis in an ingenious
machine for boring them completely
true (an efiential requisite), as well as
leaving thejr internal furtacc smooth,
which qualifies them for and enables
thern to receive an excellent glaxe which
it prepared, 1 am allured, without a
particle of lead ; and being fitted toge
ther with a small quantity of cement,
are rendered water tight.
Some of hefe pipes arc cylendrical,
feme lquare on the outlide, others ball
fquarc and half round, others oftagon,
with bores of any diameter, to suit the
fancy or convenience of purchasers.
Taking all things into conlideration,
no fort of pipes can be pt in competi
tion with them even in this country,
lor wood has only one solitary advan
tage, namely, the firtt coll being fome.
thing lef* ; but when excellence and du
rability are considered, as alio how
much tweeter and cooler stone-ware is
known to keep water (when on the con
trary, almost every l.ort of wood gives
it a difagreeabl* taste and color), this
objeftion vinilhc*.
Betides employing them for convey,
ing water under ground, and various
other purpofei, they are commonly used
to carry it from the ruots and gutters ol
houfe*, aud for this purpafe they are
much to be preferred to wood, as expo
sure to change* of weather doe* not ef
fett them, whiift it Eton deftroy* the
other.

introduced bv the adjutant and
Quarter-MafttT Generals of this

Chamber, accompanied by an

were alfjgned them, and they
were addrefled by the President
of the Senate, from the chair,
in sentiments expreflive of'the
friendfhip of this Common
wealth, and of the Piefident of
the United States towards them
and their nation. Twoqf their
Chiefs rose, and expressed,
through the medium of their
refprftive interpreters, . lorres
pondent feelings towards the
Senate and people of the Unit
tid St.i'es. After this interview,
they took a personal leave of il
eacn Senator by the hand, and
retired from the Chamber,
After which, they repaired to
the Houle of Reprelentative*,
Where they were addrefTed by
the Speaker, and retired with |
•imilar ceremonies as in’ the
Senate.
They were then efcorced to the

duced to his excellency the gov/,
ernor, and to each member ot
the Council. In-this depart
ment of the legidature, refrelh

which they partook of with much
p.cafure and fatisfaftion. and
appeared highly gratified with
the flat ering attention they r*?cci
