The canal was an enormous undertaking, but except for the alldes in the Culebra cut it was sim- ple engineering. The diMculties met and solved by the little army of engineers under Chief Engineer J, Waldo Smith, between Esopus and Brooklyn, have been aimost numberless and of varying per- plexity, The course of the aqueduct runs through ® geological formation which Old Nick himself could not have tan, worse if he had been trying to make the engineers think sinful thoughts. Few know that once, ages ago, the pot where Albany is situated was eight Pundred feet digher than it is Also that it @t another time six hundred feet lower than It is now. The ocean rushed in through the river courses and the peaks of the Catskills were an archipelago like the Thousand Islands. On the top of Peak Mountain, near the head of the big pipe line, are to ‘be found sea sand and shells. With all this pulling and hauling at the skin of the earth six different kinds of rock Were jumbled and kneaded and welded together ao that It was impossible e: cept by innumerable teat borin; the engineers and contractors to kno what was coming next. BORED MANY MILES THRQUGH SOLID ROCK. Seventeen and a maif miles of that jongest tunnel in the world, the two ends of which were joined to-day, be- tween Brooklyn and Youkers, have been od through solid rock. Twenty- four shafts have been dropped down to the. working level. Every one of thess uhatte baa used 1,000 pounds of dyna- year; tunnel has been injured. Tnis has been Accomplished by building crooked blind side tui ber and by closing the openi shaft leading to daylight with a wedge shaped door. Had the whole supply of dynamite in any one chamver gone off at once the shock wouid have been absorbed in these twisted side dri the wedge shaped door would ha driven It cork into the opening to the upper air and the busy streets. There has not been an explosion, but had there been one folks up above at least would have been safe, Thero has not been a human explo- sion, otherwise known asa strike, Back in the days when the force was being organized, Carlton E. Davis, Division Engineer at Cathedral Gorge, away up in the moumtaing, went to Chai Chadwick, the only. original’ Aqueduct Commission who is still in office, the father of the Aqueduct. He beg: fighting fur it before Brooklyn came into Greater New York, and .kept ‘on fighting until 1905, when thi ig work was authorized; it, took shape after the engineers had gone over. the ground, very much along thp |inos he had; st first suggested.

The working force chipped in for a Piano and @ pool table; the place was comfortably furnished—and not an en- Gineer quit. i “But how about strikes?” asked Mr. Davis. “ are bound to have strikes," Mr, Chadwick had a strike preventa- tive ready, Police? Not a bit—Schools. He figured that the workmen, Italians, Slave, negroes and others would have eight wours' work, elght hours’ sleep and eight hours’ play.

The result has been the bullding up of an esprit de corps which has kept every man from the chief engineer to the lowllest Isborer jumping at the job.
