U. Bavaria.] GERMANY. 339
Reichenkali., a town feated on the Sala, with a rich lalt ipring in it, the
water of which is partly boiled here and partly by means of a large wheel
thirty-fix feet in diameter thrown up to the higher parts of a lofty houfe,
and from thence conveyed by means of leaden pipes for the diftance of
three German miles over lofty mountains towards T'raunßcin and there
boiled, the latter of thefe two places abounding more in wood, and havin«»
alfo greater conveniences for exportation. On the mountains over which
thefe pipes run are little houfes and water-works at proper diftances in order
to throw the water higher. For the conveyance too of a ftrong frefh fpring
ufed in turning the wheels and other engines, and likewife for carrying o^'
any fuperfluous falt-water, a moft aftonilhing and durable aqueducft of
fquared flints one full half hour in length, and five feet broad, with an
arched roof, was at a vafi: expence made fome centuries ago, and in many
places overlaid with the hardefl; rolin, which after running to a depth of
twelve fathom under the town, and from thence under the gardens and fields,
at lafl: emits the water in a ftrong torrent. This aquedudl is in general
between three and four feet in depth, and runs fo fwifdy that in a bo't
with torches one may fail from one end to the other in about a quarter of
an hour. In order to proceed on this fubterraneous voyage we defcend
to a confiderable depth down certain fteps made in a tower, till we come to
the falt-fpring whofe fuperfluous waters run about fifty paces farther till they
empty themfelves into this little ftream of frelh -water. In the aquedudl
are five apertures in the form of towers, and through fome of thefe a perfon
may fpeak from the ramparts of the town with thofe who fail upon the
canal.
