The art of raising buildings intact trom their foundations by means of machinery is compara- tively new. It was first practiced in New York | city about ten years ago, and was the resuit of long and labored investigation to ascertain how to increase the capacity of buildings without destroying their architectural symmetry, and at | thi on Simeon preclude the necessity of pay- ing exorbitant prices for additional et been able to control the space di beneath building sites or the **free air of heave sbove them, and purchasers have the unqaes- Honable right to utilize the earth below ani the rearing their edifices AS BKIGH AS THE TOWBR OF RAPEL, provided always, as the lawyers say, they do not to a much/greater extent it city arose and tock her r ai centers bas me of frequent comment. In the | of beliding. however, the impor matter Of uplform street grades was coay tively I , but prior to the great fir aut * e creation of which left whole rows of bu BPLOW TOE LEVEL OF THE STRE Business men and others at once recogn: necessity of conforming to the new grades, and t ces of the house-raisers, as they are commonly called, were atonce brought inio re- ce that time the business of ele Yallng buildings by means of machinery has been brisk in the “Musligoom City,” ax it is sometimes not inappropriately styled. House- raising, however, has net been wholly contined to New York and Chicago, but has been dune to tome extent in other cities. In Borton a few Jears since one Of the largest hotels in the city was raised several feet while it was full of guests. ‘The apparatus—a system of hydraulic Tams—was placed inthe cellar, and the build- ing, with two or three men only to work the pumps, and a few more to attend to the unde pinning, went up at the rate of an inch or twoa day, many of the inmates of the house not hrowing that anything unusual was going on until they found, to their pra }» that the ing above the round floor was’ gradually evel of the sidewalk. So much for the history of the busiaess re- ferred to; and now for its application to the District of Columbia. The grand systom of improvements now being carried out in the District, and which no unprejadiced mind can defy has already greatly ENHANCED OUR MATERIAL PROSPERITY, has rendered imperatively necessary the eleva- tion of buildings in certain localities to a level with the newly established grades of streets and | avenues. The fact was mentioned in Tax Stan Ay 1; the market-bouse on Bridgesteet, in Georgetown, being the first building in the District selected for elevation (under the cirec- tien of the board of public works) by the Chi- | cago firm of Hollingsworth & Coughlan. ; THE FIRST THING TO BE DONE | in raising a building is to prepare the proper | foundation on all sides for a base of opera:ious- | Sometimes excavations along the walls of the | so if a firm med tor the el F oundation is pr | Loles, perhaps fifteen in entirely through the building, two or three trom the ground, and from two to six feet according to the weight of the structur ner walls, similar openings zh them » care being nece: M equi-distapt from the ling being pertorated with !: as described, is now ready for the ma- chinery—if jack-serews, woo-stringers and | blocks, which are the only appliances be diguitied with the name. ADJUSTING THE ELEVATING APPARATUS., ‘The next thing to be done is to insert “needles” through the apertures in the wails? not sewing needles or knitting or darning needies such ag were used by our good old fashioned grandmothers, but a pieces of wood called needles. This needle is of sea-oned wood, fs very strong, is generally twelve inches sjuare, and is from six to ten feet long, accord ing to the thickness of the walls. If the build- other buildings, the needles must rum enterely threugh it and must be a little longer than it ix wide. These needles through the walls and projecting on either side, strong timbers rnu Bing parallel with the walls on both sides are placed under them. SOMETHING AROUT THE JACK-SCREW, Now for the instrament which plays the most important part of all the appliances—the screw ‘This is generally known as a “‘jack-screw,” and those used by the Chicago company ment! above aro twenty inches long and three inches indiamever. Near the tep ot this screw, which is made of cast iron, with aheavy thread, are two holes for the Heat ge of an iron bar which | cross the center at right angles and which make ngs just below the head of the screw turally be supposed that the thre: of these screws, when subjected to an immen: pressure, would give way, but such a thing sel- dom occurs, and if it does it makes no material difference aa the remaming screws are am: suficient to support the weight of the building “SOW, ALTOGETHER, AND UP SHE GOES!” The needles are longitudinal timbers, (the latter supported by planks, cross blocks, and six-inch timbers,) in position as before described, the jack screws are placed under the latter tim. bers directly on a line with the apertures in the walls, and generally on a line with the cross needles. Each screw now being in its proper place, the raising proper commences. Each man is assigned to trom ten to twelve screws, which he is expected to turn at givensignal. The latter is generally a whistle, and, when sounded, each man inserts his fron bar into one of the apertures near the head of the screw, and turns it ninety degrees, or one-quarter around. He then pastes rapidly from one screw to another, turning each one one-quarter around, until he has attended to all of m and is ready for the next signal. Of course, it is expected that before the second blows every man in charge of screws will have turned each of them one- quarter around. One complete revolution of the screw sends it upward one-half an inch, consequently ome-quarter of a turn elevates it one-eighth of an inch. DECESSITY OF A FIRM FOUNDATION. A natural inquiry is, “ How many turns of the screws are necessary before the building sepa- rates from the foundation?” If the foundation be firm and does not yield, the walls of the building generally divide before the screw has gone up an eighth of an inch. Sometimes the Screws Tun out a fdot before the building sep rates, but this is always attributable to the viel: ing nature of the ground on which the fuunda- tion timbers rest. “Some would Suppose that the line of separation between the building and the foundation would be very irregular, but such is not generally the case, the line in most in- stankes being comparatively straight. The screws are turned at regular intervals until they ate run out about twelve inches, when the batiding is temporarily supported, the founda- tion raised by additional stringers and blocks, and the screws replaced and turned as before. This process is repeated until the building is lifted to the required height. NEW WALLS ARE THEN BUILT from the foundation as close up as possible to the walls of the elevated building, and ordinary shingles driven through the interval from elther side of the walls. The thin edges of theshingles are of course inserted, and overlap each other im the centerof the wails. They are then driven in until they cam be forced inward no farther, the screws are withdrawn, and the raising of the building is accompliebed. THE COST OF RAISING BUILDINGS varies from 83 to @12 per lineal foot. It costs tures than large ones, and in the raising of any coan- | building the last three feet costs more than the six previous feet. incurred in the ot YY in geometrical 1 towards | isto be feet at ie aber ee timbers or seat walls. 2ais needs to be very carefully done in send | order that the foundation on which the screws in | rest may be firm and unyielding.

Their aprons were improvised with pieces of newspaper tied on with river grass, and one little imp had his jacket tied around his body by the sleeves, the white lining de serving the parpose.
