THE HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL.

The tunnel under the Hudson river.
between New York and Jersey City, is a
great undertaking, and the work essen
TALLY differs from that on the great tun-
nels through mountains, demanding the
invention of new contrivances to meet
peculiar circumstances. The shell of the
tunnel is of boiler iron, one-quarter of an
inch thick, in sections, Hanged and bolted
together and put up as the work adj
vances 1t is nearly round, being % feet
high by 80 feet wide. Inside this shell
all around is Il brick wall two feet thick,
laid in cement, which is built as fast as
the iron cylinder is completed. Com
pressed air from II to 20 pounds to the
square inch is used to partly uphold the
earth and keep out the water. The clay
excavated is first puddled, and then
forced through six inch pipe to the
surface by the force of the waste COM
pressed air from the tunnel, where it will
be made into brick to be used i'll the
work. The air lock is 6 feet by 10 feet;
twenty men can be passed through at
one time, the operation taking half an
hour, and narrow railroad track runs
through it, Oh which the car with brick
or other materials is run into the tunnel.
Another tunnel the same size is to be
built alongside of it, and work will be
commenced upon it in a few days. Both
tunnels will be connected at the shore
ends. The Hudson at this point is $500
feet wide, and the bottom slopes gradu-
ally from the New Jersey shore to within
200 feet of the New York side, where
the water is 60 feet deep and the bottom
changes to rock. The terminus on the
New Jersey shore will be half mile
from the water, but the New York ter
minus has not yet been decided upon
1t is expected that 400 trains can be
passed through in "A hours, and proba-
bly, the pneumatic plan will be used with
compressed air as the motor.
