A GIGANTIC ENgRRPhIsE.-A late M Eber cf the
California Farmer gives accCunt OF the raising
Of an immense hotel In Ban Francisco something
over feat above its original foundation. "Ths
| means employed" this paper says "was hydraulic
power" The loser and the screw have both been
frequently used for sucA purposes but not hydrau
lies, as such applications are attended with great
| expense, and are only used whsn the others will
not accomplish the work. The Parmsr adds:
"The hotel with its hundreds Of guests, who
vera pursuing their usual duties, eating, drinking
| and sleeping, washing and cooking, shaving read
ing, chatting &c, all busy, have been elevated 10
the world some four or f1ve feet nearer heaven
than usual This hotel bas thas been brought up
to the grade and above, and now looks one hun
dred per cent. bsndssmer for the improvement, all
ibis has been safely and hardsonsly done, and Is
ways does bis work we'll. Tia. some idea may be
formed OF the power required to elevate this build
ing, We would state that the building and con-
| tents weigh about two thousand tons"
