front of the shield dig ont and carry oack
the earth through the shield. By the
advance of the shield, the hood, within
which the iron or masonry tunnel is
built, is drawn partly off from and ahead
of the constructed tunnel, thus leaving
the hood empty. The pistons of the hy-
draulic jacks are then showed back into
their cylinders, and new section of
tunnel is built up within the hood as be-
fore described. The shield is then pushed
ahead, and SO on. The extreme end of
the tunnel is always within and covered
and protected by the hood. In this man
ner the earth is rapidly excavated or
bored out and the tunnel built without
disturbing the surface of the ground.
Each shield is circular, 81 feet inches
in diameter, 16 feet long, and is built of
plate steel one inch thick. 1t is divided
into twelve compartments by means of
two horizontal and three vertical stays,
which are built up to thickness of two
inches. These stays have knife edge
in front and extend back ten feet, leav-
ing six feet of clear cylinder, into which
the end of the tunnel extends. Ten of
the compartments are permanently
closed and bracings Of angle iron placed
across them. The other two are pro-
vided with heavy iron doors, which can
be closed at once in case of accident or
danger. These doors are situated at the
bottom in the center, and through them
is passed all the excavated matter.
Flush with this heading with their cyl
inders extending forward into the COM
partments) are twenty-four hydraulic
rams at equal distances around the
shield. These rams are eight inches in
diameter and have a stroke of twenty
four inches.

shaft 1s2 feet in depth, extending to bed
rock, which is reached at that point.
This well will be cleared by the highest
pumping engine of its kind in existence.
1t will be over one hundred feet in
height. The pump of the engine will be
on the bottom of the tunnel, while the
cylinders will be on the level of the
ground.
The tunnel at present is dirty with clay
and silt, admitted during the work of
excavation. After being cleaned it is to
be treated with preparation to prevent
rusting. The lower third of the tube is

other as regards seats and windows,
but the table here is longer than the
other one and is to be utilized for a

pally mahogany. The metal fittings
are of highly polished brass. Forward

The shield which is operated simulta-
neousiy from each end of the tunneling,
consists of strong cylinder somewha,
resembling huge barrel with both heads
removed. The front end of the cylinder
is sharpened, SO as to have cutting edge
to enter the earth. The rear end of the
cylinder for q length of two feet or so is
made quite thin and is called the hood.
Arranged around the main walls of the
cylinder and longitudinal Herewith are
q series of hydraulic jacks. all operated
from q common pump. each jack having
cocks whereby it may be cut of from the
pump whenever desired.
Within the shields are vertical and
horizontal braces and shelves. When at
work the iron plates or the masonry of
which the tunnel is composed are first
built up within the thin hood of the
shield; the hydraulic jacks are then made
to press against the end of the tunnel
plates or masonry, which has the effect
to push the shield ahead into the earth
for distance equal to the length of the
pist0ns of the jacks, say two feet or not

successful engineering 1eat OF ltS klnd
on record. 1t is the longest river tunnel
in the world, being 6, ,O5O feet in all, 2, 300
feet of which is under the river bed. Its
outside diameter is 81 feet. 1t is the
first cast-iron tunnel of its kind. 1t has
been constructed at an unprecedented
rate. It's prosecution has been attended
with fewer casualties than any other
similar work, one broken leg being the
extent of the accidents, excepting two
deaths of workmen indirectly due to
disregard of the company's orders regu-
lating the use of air pressure.
What is perhaps yet more remarkable,
the cost of its construction will come
within the first estimate of three mill
ion dollars.
1t is little more than one year SINCE
the tunnel proper was begun, the steel
shields having been lowered down in
clines into the cuttings in August, 1889.
Work on the cuttings, however, was
begun iD January, 1889, and test shafts

were sunk on both sides of the river in
1887. The ST. Clair Tunnel Company
was formed in the year 1886.
This great work became necessity
by reason of the growth of traffic over
the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada,
the Chicago and Grand Trunk, the De-
troit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee, and
the Toledo, Saginaw and MuSkegOn
Railroads. The steam car ferry now in
operation at this point was found in
adequate and also unreliable during a
portion of the year by reason of the
power of the currents eight miles an
hour and the ice in the river. A bridge
was impracticable, owing to the low
level of both shores and the great
amount Of shipping traffic of large
dimensions.
The walls of the tunnel, as indicated
in our smallest illustration, are formed
of thirteen cast-iron segments and key.
These segments are cast with thirty-two
holes in them, twelve in each side flange
and four in each end. The inside
diameter of the tunnel is twenty feet.
The idea of substituting these seq
ments for brick work was suggested
by Mr.. Joseph Hobson, of Hamilton,
Ont, the chief engineer of the st. Clair
Tunnel Company, and also chief engineer
of the Great Western Division of the
Grand Trunk Railway. Mr.. Thomas
Murphy, of New York, was the superin-
fendent of excavation. The mechanical
department on both sides of the river is
under the charge of Mr.. J. T. Eames,
the engineer who invented the apparatus
for lowering the stupendouS shields into
their place, and also system of cocks
on the twenty-four hydraulic jacks sur
rounding the shield, whereby two men
can do the work of twenty-four. BY the
simple opening of valve, the direction
of the shield could be shifted so as to
follow the engineers level.
Sir Joseph Hickson at a meeting of the
directors some time since expressed the
conviction that the tunnel would be COM
pleted for traffic within eighteen months.
The Subsequent rate of progress has so
far exceeded the most sanguine eXpecta-
tiOns and has so completely beaten the
record of all former similar works that
the talk now is that the travelling public
may be inspecting the interior of this
tunnel by the end Of the year.
The shield to which the singular secur-
ity as well as the rapdity of this piece of
tunneling is due is the invention of Mr..
Alfred E. Beach, of New York.
The mode OF operating this piece OF
machinery, which has revolutionized the
art of river tunneling, is graphically

completion and of the magnitude of the
work. From the American cutting tG
the rivers edge is 1880 feet; from the
Canadian cutting, 1850 feet: under the
river, 1900. The subterranean ap.
proaches will be on the Canadian side
5000 feet, on the Michigan side 1900
feet. For the tunnel proper 2,196, 4OC
feet of soil have been excavated. The
cast iron lining has required 55, 962, SOC
pounds. There have been used in secur-
ing this lining $50, ,242 bolts.

face water entering by the approaches
