NODERY TUNNEL BUILDING Mothads to Be Employed in Boring Under TwxoRov.rs and Manha'tan Isiand LATEST DEVICES FOR SAFETY OF WORKMEN | An Enginecring Task of Vast Propor- , Involving an Outlay of £50,000,000—Great Rail. road Enterprise. Detalls of the methods to be employed by the New York, New Jersey and Long Island Rallroad company in buflding the Peansylvania rallroad tunnel under the North and East rivers and Manhattan island were made public last week by Alfred Noble, chief engineer in charge of the Bast river work and one of the six consultipg engineers who drew up the plans and specifications for the whole undertak- ing. The other five who alded In the work that began In March, 1802, are Lieutenant Colonel Charles W. Raymond, corps of mfi'...-., United States army; Gustav Lindenthal, bridge commissioner of this city; Charles M. Jacobs, who designed the tunnel in the beginning and is now in direct charge of the North river work; Willlam H. Brown, the Pennsylvania rafl- road's chiet of engineers, and George Gibbs, the mechanieal engineer expert con- nected with the Interborough Rapid Tran- sit company. According to the book of specifications which Mr. Noble is handing out to con- tractors wishing to bid for either of the three sections, the approaches to the tune mel, both in Long Island and New Jersey, are to be constructed by open cutting, the subway under this borough by “ordinary methods,” and the river tunnels. by the shield process. The tubes, or shells, under the water must be of metal, elther, three- quarters of an inch thick If incased In masonry, or one and three-quarter inches thick if of cast fron. The latter form is practically sure to be used, and the con- crete lining Inside the tubes must be twen- ty-two and a half inches in thickness. The work of driving the shied is to be done Wwith compressed air, and it s stipulated that the contractor must lay the concrete in alr of normal pressure to insuré its #00d quality and endurance. Over the contractor the railroad's engi- Neer is a mipreme boss. The contract leaves in his hands control of all the bullder's operations, including the care of the men employéd to do the compressed air work, the hospital staff and medical supplies in each shaft, the directing of safeguards for property and upderground conduits In danger of being damaged In the eity, and the general malntenance of plants of all kinds, The distinguishing feature of the book of #pecifications is the rigidity with which the contractor is to be tled down In every re- #pect, As an example of this may be noted the paragraph that says that the plles to be left in any permanent structure ‘‘must ber, not more than one year previous to In' the work; free from windshakes, or any indication of decay,"” only has every precaution for the _of passengers In the tunnel been considered, but the contract will provide all #afeguards possible for -those doing the work of construction. “The eontractor,” ®says the announcement, “must provide at each shaft an adequate plant, including bollers, alr compressors, hydraullc machin- ery, and all other. necessary plant, reasonable duplication to meet un- unexpected emergénctes.” There the finest apparatus for supplying for the workmen and for keeping Bulkhtads must be buflt t or less out of concrete, set in d cement mortar{ Bach bulkhéad Bave in it two air locks near the bot- tom, at least six feet in dlameter and twenty feet long, for the passage of men and materials; one emergency lock near the roof for men only, and a pipe lock twelve inches In diameter through which to pass ralls. s Safoguards for Men and eld.

At each bulkhead will be @n 18~ alr pressure gauge and a foul _alr yent pipe at each shield. Ivery shaft equipped with enough elevators for L &nd materials, and the hospital ar- rangements in the shafts, although they are not based '“pon any new principle, are clalmed to be the most complete ever de- vised, In, the shaft will be a “compressed air hospital,” at least six feet in diameter, with two chambers wherein men can be subfected to the regular pressure if at- | tacked by the calsson disease. The road's engineer has full authority to prescribe © What sanitary safeguards are to bo adopted and he is instructed to spare nothing to make them complete. In the quarters of the compressed air workers are to be provided hot and cold water for baths and for washing clothes, a8 well as hot air for drying purposes. Day and night, without intermission, there wili be ready for the workmen plenty of hot coftee prepared by a fore~ of attendants . always on duty. In each shaft will be a | physiclan’s office, and a doctor, with all the necessary assistants, will be on hand continually. The engineer has power to dlctate the arrangements of the doctor's apartments and no laborer ever will be employed to work in compressed air until after he has been examined thoroughly by the oal man. these safeguards are at the cost and hasard of the con- traotor, The binding nature of the contract is im- pressed upon the contractor in almost every paragraph. One stipulation 1o this: “No information relative to the work shall be given by the contractor or any of his employes to any person during the progress f the work unless by authority of the engl- eer." The contractor further assumes the re- sponsibility for any damages to bufldings, treets or other structures abutting or af- fected by the work under the city proper, and he must defend all suits and pay all costs without recourse to assistance from the rallroad company. His llability is ab- solute, and he may not recelve an extension of time for any cause even Indirectly trace- able to his own fault. Not even the negil- | gence of the engineer in giving Instruciion shall absolve him. Ho must furnish proper supports for ail sewers, repair all injured pipes, hold up all structures needing artificlal supports, ob- serve all city ordinances and take all chances at i3 own risk. In regard to wan- taining plants or removing unsatisfactory machinery he must obey the engineer abso- lutely, and If he wants an éxtension of time he cannot plead that the delay was caused by accidents, weather conditions, flood, fire, sickness or legal proceedings In- volving himself. The only cause he can assign as ground for an extension is ths fallure of the company to provide the needed rights of wuy. Tunnel Throush Manhattan. The tunnel as far as it runs beneath the ety is to be plerced without shields by methods approximately the same as those employed inthe deep underground seétions of the rapld transit subway—for instance, those under Washington Helghts ahd Cen- tral park. The walls' will be of masonry, the arched roof of concrete or brick, nc- cording to the lay of the land. For the arches a centering of steel must be used, to remain’in place as long as the engineer orders, and wherever it is deemed essential there 18 to be a castiron lining supplement- ing the masonry wall. No blasting is to be done in the vicinity of pipes and sewers or where the cohstruc tion of nearby buildings makes it danger- ous. In such places the work of removing rock must be done by drilling. The care of pipes under the streets will be along the lines enforced in the rapid transit subway operations, and where blasts leave inter- sticés botween the rocks and masonry wall the gaps must be filled in with con- crete or “grout.’” The roof must be water- prooféd and the floors bullt' of cement, with water proofing where necessary. In regard to the concrete sidewalks, which were designed chiefly to provide an emergency exit for passengers in case of accldent, 1t is explained that they have additional value in that they will become buffers for trains that may be derafled in the tubes, preventing the cars or loco- motives from dashing across the cast fron sheet. In these walks will be carrled the condults for lighting and signal wires also. No two trains going in the same direction will be permitted In the tubes under the river at the same time, and in the case of the North river tube, that will mean a headway of two minutes, the tunnel there will be a mile long, and the time for transit through it about two minutes. Bast of Second avenue, where the tunnel passes under private property to a large extent before entering the river bed by means of two tubes from East Thirty-sec- ond and East Thirty-third streets, the depth of the work will be between sixty and seventy feet, and according to the engl- ngers the people living or doing business above the excavations will not be incon- venienced at all. The entire work from Long Island to New Jersey, they announce, will require three ‘vears for actual con- struction, but it may be a longer time before, all the finishing touches are put on the road. . The great station between u:x' _and: Ninth avenues and 'Thirty- S l‘fio-mm streets wilt havé a capacity- 000 passengers a -day, ‘or nearly 80,000,000 a year. Between twenty and thirty trains a day can be run through the: North River tubes, and between forty and gixty in’ that part of the tunnel be- tween the main station and Long Island. No frelght will be transported in the tunnel. It will go on floats, as heretofore, between Greenville, near Bergen Point, and Bay Ridge, whence the route will be over 2 spur from the Long Island rallroad tracks in East New York. After that, in golng ecast, it will reach Port Morris via the bridge projected from Long Island by way of Ward's Island.

MAYOR'S ORDINANZE MAY COME UP Nicholsém Anmounces Intenfion Call Up Measure and Force Council to Submit it to Voters. to The last opportunity that the councll will have to act on the mayor's sugges- tion and submit the municipal electric light plant proposition to the vote of the people November 3 will be at the mext meeting, Tuesday night. The ordinance was pre- sented by Mayor Moores and Introduced by President Zimman two weeks ago and has since been in the hands of the street lighting committee. The vote on first and third reading stood with Zimman, Nichol- son, Hoye and Huntington favorable and Schroeder, Evans .and Back against it. Dyball and O'Brien were not present. Councliman Nicholson has announced his intention of calling the ordinance up for consideration at the committee meeting Monday afternoon - “I propose to at least get an expression from the other councilmen.” he said. “I am anxious to have the proposition go before the people.. Should an electric light plant be established by the eity it will cut Into the gas company more than the electric light company, because electricity is rapidly gaining.in domestic lighting. The gas company opposes a municipal elec- tric light plant because it would mean probably the loss of revenue amounting to about $40,000 a year, as gas lighting on the streets would very likely be dispensed with altogether. For this reason you may see about the same line-up on the muniel- pal proposition as on the gas contract ex- tension. It is possible that Councilman O'Brien and Councilman Huntington may cast their vote In favor of submitting the question, and in this case the ordinance will pass.” Mayor Must Proclaim It. In order to get the question of voting an issue of $600,000 bonds for he ‘‘consruction of conduits and subways and the construc- tion, appropriation or purchase of an elec- tric light plant,” before the voters at the coming election, the mayor must include the notice in his proclamation. This is is- sued not later than twenty days before the election, which would be on Thursday of next week. It is sald that O'Brien’s democratic con- stiutuents have been telling him that he made a_mistake on the gas deal and will Insist that he live up to election promises and vote for the munieipal ordinance. Coun- climan Huntington has not committed him- self, President Zimman is still beating up the summate generalship was required in the undertaking, for every minute saved or lost represented the gain or loss of thousands of dollars. It meant that every inch of track of the 400 miles of trackage had to be ad- justed to the new guage, the bridges, round-houses, station platforms, stations, elevators, switches, eidings, had all to be cared for o that they would conform to the changed conditfons. And all of this had to be accomplished in a single da: Before the day was over the work was done. Remarkable as this achievement may ap- pear, It 13 not more remarkable than the things which Superintendent Patrick Henry Houlahan has made the old Haonibal and 8t. Joe do under his skiliful direction. Dur- ing the recuvery period after the recent flood at Kansas City, when it was the only road In operation, he handled as high as 10 trains, principally passenger, on a single track, running as many as fifteen passen- ger trains of other lines as sections of one train belonging to the Hannibal and St. Joe. In fact, the superintendent of the Hannibal and St. Joe, the oldest line be- tween the Miseissippi and the Missouri, and a road which is heard of in these times only In connection with the great system of which it forms an Important link, was practically handling the large share of the trafic of a dozen western raflroads and dealing with the operating officlals of those companies telegraphically as they under normal conditions deal with their own con- ductors, for some time during and after the subsidence of the floods. Patrick Henry Houlahah, the man who did all this, is still on. the sunny side of 5, a well groomed, well preserved man. He re- sides with his family at Brookfleld, M where he Is a universal favorite, but Ot- tawa, TIL, still claims him as its own. Un- like many men who have climbed from the bottom round well up toward the top, he has never forgotten his early struggles, and is never forgetful of those who are striving to forge ahead against the odds he had to contend with. He has written a handbook for raflroad men, which In reality is a pocket compendium of good advice com- plled from his own experfence. The love he bears the rallroad to which he has given the best years of his life is only surpassed by the love he bestows upon his aged mother and 'his wife and children.— Brooklyn Eagle. MANY RIP VAN WINKLES Persons Known to Sleep for Months d Years, but Awakening Gen- erally Means Death, Rip Van Winkle, created in fiction, has rivals in reality, for scattered over the world today are men, women, and children who have been sleeping for monthr and even years, and who have defied all the efforts of the greatest nts of the aye to awake them from their slumbers. Perhaps the most recent instance of a lengthy sleep comes from Paris, where the victim died last May after a map which had lasted two years. In the latter week aglitation in favor of the municipal owner- ship submission, but it is plain that he feels no great hopes over Its fate in the council, Nevertheless he and Nicholson will insist upon action of some kind and will demand @ showing of hands all around. WATER BOY'S RISE WAS RAPID Career of & Western Ratlro W s Knew How to Do What- ever Came His Wiy, Patrick Henry Houlahan, general super- intendent of the Hannibal & St. Joseph rallroad, Is & self made man, who has mot wasted any time in the making and has done the job very thoroughly. He began it thirty-six years ago, when as a very small boy he appled| for work on an Tilfhols road that! was then buflding. He wus not big enough for Kny real work, buf they gave him a job furnishing drinking water for the section hands. He got them tte very best water he could find and saw that they had plenty of it. The position was ‘not- dne that called for the exercise of any particular talents other than the talent for ‘walking and keeping friends, which young Houlahan displayed even then. Here is his record from that day to this: “A water boy and train hand on the Ottawa & Fox River Valley raflroad (now. merged into the Chicago & Alton and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy systems) from 1867 to 1870; a train hand, check clerk baggageman and depot agent of the same road from 159 to 18T5; brakeman and con- ductor on the Fox River branch of the Burlington road from 1§75 to 1880; conductor from 1850 to 1881; assistant trainmaster from November, 1881, to July, 1884; tralnmaster 8t. Louls division Burlington system from July, 1884, to May, 1886; master of transpor- tation of the St. Louls, Arkansas & Texns rallrond, Missouri division, from May to November, 1886; trainmaster Hannibal & 8t. Joseph railroad from April, 185 to April, 1 1890; assistant superintendent Hannibal & 8t. Joseph from April, 1880, to May, 1991; superintendent western division same road from May, 1891, to June, 1892; superintendent of same road from date last named to the present time.” Little Pat Houlshan was fond of work, fond of play and, as the facts will show presently, fond of adventure. When he had been tomoted to & position as track hand and was earning his dollar a day came the overturning of a lamp by Mrs. O'Leary's historic cow and the consequent burning of Chicago. Hodlahan was lving at Ottawa, Ill, elghty miles to the south and the red glow of the burning in the northern sky fired his desire to plunge into the smoke and debris of the burning city. He got permission to lay off for a few days and a pass to Chicago, when every- one else was figuring how to get away from it. “Although -1 was privileged to Hde fn the caboose” he says, referring to this trip, “I could only content myself by sit- ting on the rear brake wheel of the rear car. The scenery was better from this point of observation. I ran a better chance of being killed, and, besides, all along up there, I felt that 1 had already begun to rise in the rafiroad business’ Reach- ing Chicago on the morning of the 10th, “the crowds were coming one way and I was going the other," he says. “They were trying to get out of the heat and smoke and 1 was trying to find a place where 1 could get a doughnut or & plece of ple for & dime." The little country boy penetrated into the south side and into portions of the north side that were smoking heaps of ashes, unmindful alike of ruin and of riot. Many times after that he wept to Chicago, and watched the new city rise on the ruin of the old He was pever satisfied until he had climbed to the top of every one of the high buildings, his mother accompanying him. Curiosity was not the incentive. He was studying their construction. He made fre- quent trips to the city from Missourl during the bullding of the Auditorium, and fol- lowed the work, through articles in the newspapers, from the sinking of the piles to the decoration of the interior. Man and boy he has always been Infatuated with “big things." It was duging his brief connection with the St. Louls, Arkansas and Texas rallroad, which he was compelled to sever on ac- count of falling health, that he performed one of the most remarkable feats in the history of American rallroading. As master of transportation of that line the task of the road from a narrow to & of April, 1901, Marguerite Boyenval of Thes- seles, near 8t. Quentin, was engaged in the kitchen of her home, ironing some hand- kerchiefs, when a girl friend ran in and Jokingly exclaimed: “Fly, Marguerite, the gendarmes are com- ing to arrest you!" With a cry the girl fell to the ground in & cataleptic sleep, from which she awoke on May 26 last. Dr. Cherlier an eminent French phy- sician, tried every means to awaken the girl, but without success, and, at last, abandoning his efforts in that direction, turned his attention to the best means of mourishing and sustaining the patient until she should awake of her own accord. The method adopted was to bathe the sleeper Right and morning in thin gruel and milk, Jdnjecting a little of the same fluld into the throat by means’of -a.reed; the lquid thus absorbed by the pores of the skin being found sufficlent to keep the heart beating and sustain lite; ‘When the girl fell asleep in 1901 she was pretty, fair In complexion, and about 19 years of age, but as the moénths rolled on the flgsh wasted away, the eyes, over which the lids were closely ~drawn, became sunken, while all the facidl bones could be counted. The skin turned as white as marble, and when the flesh was cut by one of the surgeons the blood, instead of being red and flowing easily, was white and of the consistency of glycerin. Doctors. went from all parts of the contl- ment to visit the slumberer, but among them all there was not one who could suc- ceed In arousing her. During the last week fn May of this year the sleeper, who was closely watched during every moment of her Jong slumber, was seen to move her right arm, then her head, and at last, slowly opening her eyes the young girl— now in appearance an old, old woman— looked wonderingly round the room. The physiclans present spoke to_her, but, though she apparently had a desire to re- ply, no words came from her mouth. For twenty minutes the heart continued to beat, and the doctors were in high hopes of saving her life, when, raising herself by some extraordinary and momentary ef- fort, she uttered a few unintelligiblo words and fell back dead. Men and women who have slept for per- fods of six months and longer seldom live after their awakening. An exception to this, however, {s found In the case of a Russlan of the name of Platkowaks, who is reported to have slept for seven months In his home fn a small village some twenty miles from Moscow. Platkowska, who had served ten years in the mines, was a man of 40, strong and wiry, though he had always been subject to periodical fits of slumber which had lasted for two and three days at a streteh, In 1893, according to a Russian writer, he fell asleep while working in the fields, and was there found by his wife. She had him carried to their cabin and lald on the trestle bed, 50 that he might have his sleep out In comfort, as he had done on many previous occasions. The next day and for several days he still ‘slumbered, and when a week ‘had gone by his wife became alarmed, d BShe managed to secure the services of a local doctor whose practice was among the peasantry, but though he tried his best to awaken the sleeper all his efforts were futile. The doctor visited the patient for five months, when his duties called him to 8t. Petersburg, and he was obliged to re- linqyish the case. Another physiclan, however, undertook to watch the man, and two more months passcd. No effort was made to feed the sleeper, and he did not appear to have lost flesh to any great extent. In the spring of 18% the man, who had been lying on his back, was found to have turned over on his left side, his left arm being turned under his head. The doctor was quickly sent for, and after examining the patient he injected a powerful hypo- dermic, whith took instant effect. The man opened his eyes, stretched his arms above his head, yawned, and attempted to get out of bed. But his limbs were weak as an infant's, and he would have fallen had not the doo- tor pushed him back. He was carefully fed and nursed and in a fortnight was suf- ficlently recovered to go about his work. A more recent case was that of Winifred Earle, living in Sixth avenue, New York, who fell asieep in December of last year, and after slumbering for three days, was sent to Bellevue hospital to see If the phy- siclans there could succeed In waking her. Everything, from electric batteries to saline Injections was tried, but without success. The girl, who was only 16, continued to slumber peacefully for three weeks, when ’ AT i e SChMoller & Mueller «:e ‘THE BIG PIANO HOUSE.

For 1t has been decreed that the kiss be- longed to the young whman. It might be assumed that the young man had an equal #hare in it, but this is not the case. There does not seem to be any demand for young men's kisses. At least young men don't want them and young women affirm that they don't. They may not be telling the truth, but no one ever found a bidder in the open market for them, so it must be ac- cepted that the young women are telilng the truth. It's a stolen kiss that has a monetary value. Russia puts a comparatively low value.on them. America puts the highest. Lo Russia, If so inclined, you may get a Kki#s for $2.

The lesson is plain In Russia It is assumed that a young man and a young woman, even If engaged, should not kiss each other in public. The same thing 1s assumed In Chicago. To em- brace one's flance before the eyes of men in Russia is subject to a tax of $2.40. You can have the privilege if you want to pay for it, but a police court clerk will collect the next day If & policeman sees you do- ing it Russian authorities carry thelr rigor & little further. If a young man be seized with an inclination to propose marriage to a young woman and uses a postal card for this purpose the authorities will track him down and assess him $2.40 for the privilege. In Milan, Ttaly, kissing is even cheaper than it Is in Russia. If engaged young peo- ple kiss each other in public there the po- lice magistrate will tax them §1.20. Last year in that city there were just 721 couples brave enough to say they didn't care who was looking. They all pald the fines the next day. There may have been more than that all told. That number were caught In France kisses are not rated at a high price commercially, and Germany does not assess the offender severely. England is bit_harder, but for the full value of the | kiss It s necessary to come to the United States. Prices range all the ‘way up to $100, Here in Chicago recently Justice Doaléy declded that a young man who had kissed a young woman had received just §25 worth. The young man was given the cholee of paying it or going to the Bridewell Why there should be such objection to public kissing 1s a question which may puzsle some people.
