THE WATER SUPPLY FOR LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, England, needed an additional water supply, and the Government went into Wales, seventy miles away, and bought a large valley, including the village of Llanwyddyn. This valley is now being filled with a body of water five miles long and eighty-four feet deep. It is understood that all the houses, the church, two chapels, tavern, and post-office are to remain as they were, and are gradually being submerged under the collecting water that pours into the valley. A new village has been built near by, and all the Llanwyddyans have removed to it.—Selected.
